1099 A.D - Somewhere in the Champagne Region of France.


Carsten looked out over the fortress that was Armand. The Knight Templar training facility was bare, the grass being cut or ripped out of the ground. Packed dirt was the only thing on the ground. "It is ready, my lord," the maid behind him said, bowing and backing out of Carsten's chambers, shutting the door behind her. He pulled off his clothes, having a hard time because they were stuck to him from sweat. He slid in the washbasin with an "Aahh" and let the warm water soak into his bones. He washed himself with soap, and when he was done, Carsten got out and used a plain white towel to dry off. He pulled on fresh clothes and knocked on the door, signaling the maids to come and take the basin away. He walked back to the window, watching the distant lightning strikes grow closer, listening to the quiet splat splat of the rain hitting the roof and ground. He felt sorry for the guards who had to work this night, in the cold rain. But that was the way God wanted it, and so it would be.
