Martyr's Fire
“After all, there had been the miracles of the weeping statue and the blood of the martyr! And now, stories of how the guards had fallen without a fight!

These mourners knew that Thomas had ruled with compassion and intell...igence. They were still grateful to Thomas for releasing them from bondage to a cruel lord less than a year before.And few, although too many, were those whose eyes glinted with greed to hear that Thomas had been disposed, or that the Priests of the Holy Grail had offered a brick of the purest gold to the man who might capture him.Thomas limped along the edge of the streets. It took little effort to add that limp to his step; yesterday’s brutal kick was this day’s growing bruise, and a sleepless, chilled night had stiffened his leg considerably.MoreLess
