EPILOGUE
Sir Aldric rode towards the huge, steel gates of Thorpe Castle.
Two Guards were holding their sharp, gleaming swords in their right hands. Their silver colored helmets shone in the semi-darkness.
Suddenly they saw the rushing Knight.
"HALT!", the Guards yelled.
"THIS IS SIR ALDRIC OF THE IRISH KNIGHTS OF THE MASONIC TEMPLARS! WE DEMAND THE RETURN OF LADY EMILY THORPE, THE HEAD PRIESTESS OF THE TEMPLARS!", he yelled. He waited.
"Templars! She is a heathen!", one of the Guards said. Sir Aldric got off his horse. He moved swiftly towards his enemies.
"She is not a heathen!", Sir Aldric said, "...she my wife-to-be! I demand her back!", Sir Aldric said.
"She will remain in jail for crimes against her own family, Sir Aldric. Lady Margaret has the keys to the cells", the second Guard told him, as he laughed at his face...as they resumed their post at the ominous Thorpe Castle, and ignored their enemies' angry gaze, as if he wasn't there at all.
