- Soren: I'm not letting you hurt one more soul!
- Metalbeak: Oh, you're not letting me? Oh, what a pity to waste such a strong, young and confident Tyto.
- Ezylryb: No, Soren!
- Metalbeak: Oh, you know this sad old owl?
- Soren: He's my teacher. My hero.
- Metalbeak: Well, your hero can teach you one last lesson about Pure Ones' strength...
- Nyra: [restraining Ezylryb] Don't move.
- Metalbeak: ...by letting you watch him die.
- Nyra: My lord.
- Metalbeak: Hm?
- Nyra: Our work at St. Aegolius is very nearly done. The last of the flecks are on their way, and I've brought you an offering with beating hearts. Your new soldiers, tested and pure. One in particular shows exceptional promise.
- Metalbeak: I'll be the judge of that. You. Soldier. Step forward. Yes, you're right to be afraid in my presence. What is your name?
- Kludd: [softly] Kludd.
- Metalbeak: Speak up!
- Kludd: Kludd! My - my name is Kludd.
- Metalbeak: There, that's better. Remember, weakness is for the lower species, never for us. Do you know why, Kludd?
- Kludd: Because we are Tytos.
- Gylfie: Let us go!
- Soren: She's right. Let us go!
- Nyra: Whas this? Tyto, don't waste your time. Don't soil your feathers.
- Soren: You leave her be.
- Nyra: Oh, spirited little Tyto. How touching. You and your patch of felt will stay together, then. As pickers. Les go. Hurry up. Perhaps when you remember your nobility, Tyto, we can make a soldier of you.
