  Jacque and his soldiers have been riding for several days. At this point in their journey they are almost evenly divided. While every soldier wants to get to Jehanne as fast as they can, some of their horses are extremely tired and breathing heavily.

  “Jacque, we need to slow down. Our horses are going to fall beneath us,” a soldier remarks.

  “I don’t know why,” he answers, “but I feel compelled to continue on. There is something that is happening that we know nothing about. If you feel that you must rest, then take the soldiers that need to rest with you, but I must continue on.”

  “We are sorry, Jacque we will continue on as soon as we can.”

  “Do what you must,” he answers, consumed with a feeling that he is not familiar with; a kind of vague feeling of nothingness; like time has stopped, yet he cannot stop, he must continue to push forward and finally something will make sense, somehow, somewhere, the darkness and confusion will break. For the sake of his daughter, he must continue on.
