Mysterious Destiny Bright Lights and Thunder Part I

  In Lyon after their battle, Pierre runs to his brother. “Jean, Jean, have you heard the latest news about, Jehanne?”

  With great enthusiasm, Pierre exclaims, “I heard that she is cutting right through the English stronghold and heading for Reims! Some villages give up as soon as they hear her name and see her standard.”

  “…Reims? I didn’t know about that. I heard that she took an arrow from a longbow just above her right collar bone but continued fighting. A French noble would never have done that,” Jean states as pictures appear in his mind of Jehanne with her hand held out to the wolf.

  Mystified, Pierre questions, “Can you believe that our little sister has that much courage, Jean?”

  “Yes,” he says, “I remember the wolf when she was just a baby.”
