The People That Walked In Darkness Have Seen A Great Light!

The Saint stood in front of the rune stones as the followers of the Burning Bush attacked. Their axes swung in huge, violent arcs and smashed the ancient pillars. Years of mystical teachings were destroyed in seconds. The body of the Saint was broken and sliced while trying to protect the beautiful stones. In the instant of her death, her heart burst into flames, filled with her overwhelming love of the magic she longed to protect. And, her dying words reflected her great compassion...

"Forgive him, for he is ignorant and knows not what he does!". With that, she passed beyond the veil.

May she be blessed forever!
