Hold your head up.

- Girl afraid.

- Of what?

If god takes a girl, she catches fire and go up in smoke.

- They do what?

- God's heart, a burning torch.

His veins run fire, not blood.

If god makes love to girl she goes: In one flash.

Not even ashes left.

I bet a jealous goddess made that up.

They come from Sikandergul with a message for son of Sikander.

They're looking at him, if they opened their eyes.

- The message's from Kafu Selim.

- Who?

Kafu Selim, high priest of Kafiristan.

What's the message?

Kafu Selim says come.

Come?

- Is that all?

- That's all, just come.

Doesn't waste words, does he?

Tell him we appreciate the invitation.

We'll avail ourselves of it one of these days.

- No. Come means "now."

What does he want to see us about?
