“
Excellent! And you are welcome to stay too,” she told Sarah. “Mary’s powers are extraordinary, but mine are too. As you can see there are those in this town who accepted my powers, who welcomed my help. You would both be safe here.”
Sarah smiled. “Yes, we will stay. For a while at least. Maybe for good. I can’t make any long term plans yet.”
“About your powers,” Daniel said to Clara. “You told me you could only sense the power, not touch it.”
“
I lied,” replied Clara shrugging. “It was necessary. With the white power I can sense all others, it somehow links to and guides the other powers. My deception had to be perfect. If Rafael had suspected for one moment that I hadn’t betrayed you he would have killed me, and you would never have gotten free.”
“
It was a great risk.”
“
The entire plan was a great risk. One that paid off.”
Daniel nodded.
“And you Daniel,” asked Sarah. “Will you stay?”
“
For now. I too need to rest. And I wish to spend more time examining the temple. I cannot stay for too long though. I need to return to the keep, to study it in depth. Maybe there are other clues to the Golden Order there.
There is still so much darkness in the world. I will oppose that darkness, and the Dark God especially, wherever I find them. One day I will head west, towards the Citadel of the vampires. Towards the ultimate source of power for the Dark God. One day I will try to destroy that source.”
He paused, looking around at their solemn faces then smiling.
“
One day. But not today.”
