“*I would never counsel rushing blindly into war, but for a cause such as the one the boy described, for a violation of peace so blatant, so powerful of course I'd fight! What other course to take? And if you think I'm a coward or I'd simply urge others on, I'll fight you right now!*”

## Dialogue

**Gylfie**: "*Soren, we did it.*"
**Soren**: "*Yeah. Yeah, I guess we did. I just hope Allomere finds the owlets.*"
**Ezylryb**: "*Oh, to be a young owl with a taste for adventure, arriving at The Tree for the first time. Well done to hold your own in there. Some more nice strong gizzards. The Tree always needs them.*"
— Gylfie, Soren, Ezylryb[src]

“ ***Lord Allomere:** Oh, good Glaux. Boron, Your Majesty, if I understand this correctly, Metal Beak is not a myth. He's building a slave army of moon-blinked owlets and is planning to conquer the world with magical pellet debris. Without intending any disrespect, and particularly to my little friends, who have been through so much, such a story simply stretches plausibility too far. (Another owl laughs, then coughs.) Does that notion strike Ezylryb as amusing?
 **Ezylryb:** What cheek! What’s amusing to me is that you would cover yourself by besmirching these fliers.
 **Allomere:** Perhaps my good fellow Ezylryb wishes us to race back to war.
 **Ezylryb:** No, no.
 **Allomere:** Perhaps he'd write a poem about it from his hollow, while the rest of us... Well, while the rest of us had our talons deformed too.
 **Ezylryb:** Uh-huh.
 **Allomere:** But I say caution when the losses could be so many.
 **Ezylryb:** I would never counsel rushing blindly into war, but for a cause such as the one the boy described, for a violation of peace so blatant, so powerful... ...of course I'd fight! What other course to take? And if you think I'm a coward, or I'd simply urge others on, I'll fight you right now.
 **King Boron:** Order.
 **Ezylryb:** Boron, you can judge the winner.* ”
