`It is a fact (это факт).
Corum shrugged (Корум пожал /плечами/).

`They supersede us, Vadhagh. They bring the darkness and they bring the terror. They are the bane of beauty and the doom of truth. The world is Mabden now. We have no right to continue existing. Nature abhors us. We should not be here!
Corum sighed.
`Is that your thinking, or theirs?
`It is a fact.
Corum shrugged.
`Perhaps (возможно).
`It is a fact, Vadhagh. You would be mad if you denied it (ты будешь = должно быть, сумасшедший, если /станешь/ отрицать это).

`Perhaps.
`It is a fact, Vadhagh. You would be mad if you denied it.
`You said you thought this the last of our castles …
`Not I. I sensed there was another one. I told them.

`I do not know how to kill (я не знаю, как убивать), Corum replied as he mounted the horse (ответил Корум, садясь на коня).
`Then you must learn, Vadhagh (тогда ты должен научиться, вадаг). You must learn! rasped the dying being (хрипло кричал умирающий;

The Nhadragh smiled.
`Where? Where else but in the West?
Corum ran to his horse.
`Stay! croaked the Nhadragh. Slay me, I pray you, Vadhagh. Do not let me linger!
`I do not know how to kill, Corum replied as he mounted the horse.
`Then you must learn, Vadhagh. You must learn! rasped the dying being as Corum frantically forced his horse to gallop down the hill.
