Black Thorn, White Rose [signed]

""The gods have spoken to me tonight, Bran Mak Morn" intoned the wizard. "The heart I have plucked out of our enemy is propecy from the gods who proclaim that the chieftain of Pictdom shall this might begin a strange journey. He shall touch the gods and visit the heart of the enemy. He will enter a cavern and speak with a witch who is not dead, who lives and does not live, with a spirit that is older than the hetherlands of Caledon, older than the mountains of Cornwall. "Go, Kig Brak, go to forestall iron legions from torching the fields and drowning the old rivers with Pictish blood. Go, King Bran, to the witch-queen of Atlantis, who has died and is awaiting rebirth, the one they call the Witch of the Mists.""
