章節 224: The Start Of Something Big...

"From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never...

...No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be it's author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide." -Abraham Lincoln

Inside the Montesiepi Chapel}

[Current Day]

Inside a 12th century stone Gothic style chapel, the walls and ceiling is decorated with religious art.

Part of a post Viking Era Cistercian Abbey, there is a trail of blood drippings leading right towards two familiar cloaked figures as they walk through the ruins.

A small cloaked figure, seemingly a child, with green pine tree symbols on her all black cloak, is sitting on the shoulder of a larger individual whose dark covering is stitched with purple wisteria tree symbols.
