Blue Flame
Up in the hills of Languedoc, Raoul de Bertrand tends to a small blue flame in a filligree box, a flame lit at the moment of Christ's death when the veil of the temple was rent in two. Raoul has been hiding here since, as a boy, he inadvertently shot Richard the Lionheart with his crossbow, a crime for which his father killed.
