Narrator - Blue sky ushers in a new day. The crisp air and new fallen snow have all but wiped away all signs of battle. The bitter cold is but a harbinger of what is to come.
A stolen moment between two souls has opened a breach in the heavens. Staff Sergeant Vittorio and Lady Celeste Rahmel are brough to the bishops court to answer for charges levied by the Monsignor. After the two submitted their signd confessions both were stripped of all rank and semtensed to be confined for a period of six months. But for the benevilance of the Bishop both would have been pruified by the flame at the Monsignors hand. A disquiet blankets The Chalice as word of the sentencing makes its way outside the halls of Saint Michael's.
The church bell ring out as the sentence is delivered. The tones seem to echo for eternity on the high Florentian alps. |
