As I begin my daily prayers, I find the chapel to be less populated than usual. Still, it is understandable as to what happened a few days ago, and with the treaty to end the Hundred Year War on the horizon, many flock to where the possible peace may be established.

I kneel before the altar and continue my prayer. I feel a growing sense of unease as I hear a voice from behind me say, "Heed my words. My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny. If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me. I hereby swear. That I shall defeat all evil in the world, but let thine eyes be clouded with the fog of turmoil and chaos. Thou art trapped in a cage of madness, and I, the summoner who holds thy chains— Seventh Heaven clad in the great words of power! Come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!

But as I look behind me, I am startled by the person's presence as I see an impossible sight; I mutter, "You can't be alive. You have burned away for your heresy, witch!" The woman looks at me in utter contempt and says, "The details of my demise were simply greatly exaggerated. But be silent, you old fool, as I need to greet some new players in this game."

Soon enough, five other presents enter the room with all of their eyes looking empty yet filled with madness

Soon enough, five other presents enter the room with all of their eyes looking empty yet filled with madness. The witch then says, "Thank you for coming, my fellow servants. I am your master, but you know why I summoned you, yes?"

The servants give no response as I fear for my life and the population of France. "You were all brought here before me to spread destruction and slaughter as those that celebrate shall be devastated no matter how evil or cruel. God will forgive you through me should he meet out punishment that is fine in its own way, but this is no better way of proving that he exists now than Gilles brings the old fool here."

The man who looks like insanity incarnate as he drags me by my neck before the watch as she asks with faux care, "I trust that you did not harm him while dragging him over here, Gilles?"
