***********************************************

His head ringing with pain, Luther Vandermoor climbs roughly to one knee, taking and leaning upon his sword for support. Blood from his head wounds sticks to his eyelid, and the recent beating given him by the witch's Catshade now permeates his body, joining new injuries like a blanket of needles.

But the most intense pain he feels in his mind. The dreams of his unconscious pull a weighty realization over his thoughts: Valerin, Deirdre, Zirena, and now Elina--one way or another Luther has involved them all in this sinister webwork of deadly evil, and they have all paid for it somehow. In one way or other, he nurtured them, accepted them, trusted them, empowered them, and sent them forth to combat evil or left them alone and vulnerable against it.

And they all had paid some price for it. But what that price was, Luther didn't yet know. He would find out. And if there was any way, he would set things straight. Wiping the blood away from his eyes, he gathered his thoughts about him and prepared to climb to his feet.

***********************************************

Luther Vandermoor's stock model is our own ~Mistersneaky As a collector of swords, he has given me a treasure trove of good Luther references for this sequence and those that follow. If you approve, let him know!

Also, regarding last page's NOTE 2 ("The Chainmail Issue"), I must say that this image contains the best chainmail my method has produced. It may not be good enough for the final production, but it's the effect I was really going for.

Enjoy!
