The warrior of Hieroneous sits still on his horse, using the time to calm his breathing. But his mind races.Xavier is torn. The witch can help him understand what is going on. And Xavier is painfully aware of how little he understands what is going on. The events here around Pruman are tied to those in the temple of Hieroneous. That much Xavier knows from the tales of Master Conrad and Karn. But how and why, those are still unknown to him. And without those, he cannot truely judge what is happening the barony, nor how far the corruption has spread. And Xavier suspects it has spread far.But that path is not without its dangers. The best intentions and strongest convictions are not always enough to to prevent a man form being lead from the path of light into darkness. The heretic Lord Addis the Butcher died, his soul black and putrid with corruption, still believing he did Hieroneous work. For a moment, doubt flutters in his heart like a black butterfly. The temptations of evil can be subtle and beguiling. Xavier wonders if he truely would have the strength to resist them.Truely, the puritanical way is the safer. But it is also not really an option right now. Xavier glances at the goblin warriors around him. He doubts he would be able to get to the witch even if he wanted to. In the background he can hear the Baron's soldiers in ragged retreat through the foggy forest.Xavier returns his attention to the witch."I will follow you and hear what it is that you have to say and see what it is that you wish to show me."</blockquote>
