Adara, cease!She froze at the sound of a voice she hadn't expected to hear. For a moment she thought she might be dreaming, until she blinked to look up into the most handsome face she'd ever known. She stared at the same blue eyes that made the tenderest of love to her.Christian.Her grip went lax and the candlestick in her hand fell to the floor. He was alive!She threw herself into his arms and held him close as giddy tears replaced her grief-induced ones. At least until her rage took hold again. Damn you, you worthless, heartless son of a dog! she snarled, pulling back to strike at his chest. How dare you make me think you were dead! Don't you ever do such a thing to me again. Christian was stunned by her language and actions. I didn't know you could hear us through the door.She struck him again on his armor, a blow that no doubt he felt not at all, but it gave her some degree of satisfaction. Well, think better next time.Her untoward anger amused him. Wiping the tears from her face, he kissed her tenderly.

The bishop was aghast. You would threaten me?Christian didn't hesitate with his answer.For her life, aye.You would jeopardize your soul for her? She is a heretic and a witch.She is a woman. My woman.His words only succeeded in angering the bishop more. I will have you excommunicated for this.Christian pulled the black monk's robe from over his head and balled it up. Then excommunicate me. If I am in the wrong for protecting an innocent woman, then God can judge me as He will.

A vine from one tree shot out, tripping Blaise. He and Merewyn rolled to the ground. Varian stood between them and the trees, which shot blast after blast at him. He deflected them, but even so the heat from the fire was scorching. 'Go, Blaise,' he said. 'Get Merewyn out of here.'Blaise nodded before he crawled to Merewyn under the barrage.'Hold!'The blast stopped as the three of them froze into place.Again the woman appeared in the fire to stare at them maliciously. 'What is it you do?''I'm crawling,' Blaise answered.

As soon as they were alone, Ioan’s face softened. “To what do I owe this pleasure, Christian?” “We are in need of an army.” “Done,” Ioan said without hesitation. “My men are yours.” “We’ll have to go back through the Holy Land,” Phantom said. “That bothers me not.” It was Adara’s turn to frown at the man’s blasé acceptance of their mission. “Don’t you want to know why we need your army?” Ioan shrugged. “I assume it is to fight.” “Aye,” she said slowly, “but don’t you want to know why you’re fighting?” “I am fighting because Brother Christian needs me.”-Ioan, Christian, Phantom, & Adara
