Lane and Iris stand before a silver-white forest. The trees are silver, the leaves silver, even the grass underfoot is silver. Iris's voice trembles: "This is... my mother's forest."
雷恩和艾莉丝站在一片银白色的森林前。树木是银色的，叶子是银色的，连地上的草都是银色的。艾莉丝的声音发颤：「这是……我母亲的森林。」
"Your mom's?" "She was descended from the first elf, a thousand years back. This was her land. When she died, the forest withered. But here—" She rests a hand on the silver bark — "it's still alive."
「你母亲的？」「她是一千年前，第一代精灵的后裔。这片森林是她的领地。她死后，森林也跟着枯萎了。但这里——」她摸了一把银色的树干——「这里还活着。」
"What's the sword leading us to?" Iris follows the sword into the forest's depths, where a silver altar stands. On the altar rests a silver seed. "This is my mother's seed. She left it here, waiting for someone to claim it." "Waiting for who?" "Me." She lifts the seed — this seed will grow a new elven forest. Bring her people back.
「剑在指什么？」艾莉丝跟着剑的方向，走到森林深处。那里有一座银色的祭坛。祭坛上，放着一颗银色的种子。「这是我母亲的种子。她把它留在这里，等一个人来拿。」「等谁？」「等我。」她拿起种子——这颗种子能种出一片新的精灵森林，能让她重新拥有族人。
"You gonna plant it?" She looks at him: "If I plant it, I become part of the forest. Become the new Elf Mother. I'll—" "You'll leave me." "Yeah."
「那你种吗？」她看着他：「种了之后，我会变成森林的一部分。我会成为新的精灵之母。我会——」「你会离开我。」「对。」
"Then don't plant it." "What?" "Your people matter. But I'm selfish." He looks at her — I don't want you turning into a tree. I want you here with me.
「那就不种。」「什么？」「你的族人重要。但我更自私。」他看着她——我不想你变成一棵树。我想你留在我身边。
"Lane..." "And—" He grins — "you owe me three coppers. Haven't paid 'em back. Can't turn into a tree. Trees don't pay debts."
「雷恩……」「而且——」他笑了——「你欠我三个铜板。你还没还完。你不能变成树。树不会还债。」
"You idiot." "You've been chasing an idiot for three years."
「你这个白痴。」「你跟着白痴跑了三年。」
