Original artwork, not a still
From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.
— Highlander ‧ 1986
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker announces an ancient hidden people who have passed through the centuries in secret, waiting for a final reckoning in which the few survivors fight to the end. The boast ends on revelation: their concealment is over. The tone is solemn and dramatic.
