Amonkira. Lord of Hunters. Grant that my hands be steady, my aim be true, and my feet swift. And should the worst come to pass, grant me forgiveness.
“Kalahira, mistress of inscrutable depths, I ask forgiveness.
Kalahira, whose waves wear down stone and sand--
Kalahira, wash the sins from this one,
and set him on the distant shore of the infinite spirit.”
Thane is wracked by pain, prompting Kolyat to continue the next two lines of the prayer. Thane remarks that Kolyat speaks as the priests do. Kolyat explains that he brought a prayer book, and asks the Commander to join him:
“Kalahira, this one's heart is pure,
but beset by wickedness and contention.
Guide this one to where the traveler never tires,
the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve.
Guide this one, Kalahira,
and s/he will be a companion to you as s/he was to me.”
If Shepard chooses not to join Kolyat in prayer, then the prayer spoken will differ greatly.
Kolyat's Prayer:
“Kalahira, this one's heart is pure,
but beset by wickedness and contention.
Guide him to where all hunters return,
where all storms become still, where all stars show the path.
Guide him, Kalahira,
and he will be a companion to you as he was a father to me.
