- Sister Verna: I've gotten to know you, Richard. You would never leave innocent women at the mercy of a monster.
- Richard Cypher: I'd hardly call the Sisters of the Light innocent women. You've lied to me, held me captive and separated me from the people I love most in the world. But worst of all, you've used your piety as an excuse to take away my freedom.
- Sister Verna: Everything I've done I've done with the best intentions.
- Richard Cypher: I don't need training to tell you Wizard's Second Rule: "The greatest harm can result from the best intentions."
- [Last lines]
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Kahlan.
- Leo: Cara.
- Kahlan Amnell: What are you two doing here?
- Leo: We were heading south but then the compass suddenly changed direction. And it lead us here.
- Kahlan Amnell: If the compass lead you to us and we're traveling towards Richard, then... the compass must be guiding us all back to him.
- Sister Nicci: [mysterious message from behind veil] Trust no one. Meet me tonight when moonbeams light the sanctuary.
- Cara Mason: [Sword of Truth awakens longing in Kahlan] Is something wrong?
- Kahlan Amnell: [shakes her head] I miss Richard.
- Cara Mason: Why?
- Kahlan Amnell: [sighs, wipes off tears] Because I love him. And I'm not used to being apart from him.
- Cara Mason: [frowns] It's not necessary to feel pain over his absence.
- Kahlan Amnell: Don't you feel anything?
- Cara Mason: Mord-Sith believe emotions must be governed. Sadness, remorse, love... These feelings make you weak. But anger, loyalty, pride... These feelings make you powerful. I can teach you how to control your emotions, if you like.
- Kahlan Amnell: I'm not sure love makes a person weak, Cara.
- Cara Mason: Then why are you sitting on the ground, weeping over a sword?
- Kahlan Amnell: [chuckles tearfully] Thank you for your advice... but, uh, I think I'll be all right.
- [smiles]
- Richard Cypher: [as moonlight bathes sanctuary, he approaches red-robed figure] Who are you?
- Sister Nicci: [lifts up veil, has beautiful face] I am Sister Nicci.
- Richard Cypher: [recognizes] I saw you today with the Prelate.
- Sister Nicci: Yes. She considers me one of her closest advisers.
- Richard Cypher: Why did you ask me here?
- Sister Nicci: To tell you a secret that could get me killed. But you must know the truth.
- Richard Cypher: What truth?
- Leo: [as Cara is about to climb onto her horse] Can I give you a hand?
- Cara Mason: [climbs up effortlessly, looks down at him:] You'll soon learn that it's we who are here to help you.
- [coolly:]
- Cara Mason: Seeker.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Trying to show chivalry to a Mord-Sith is like trying to dance with a bear. It's never gonna work, and somebody will get their head bitten off.
- Sister Nicci: I have to go before they catch me talking to you. The choice is yours. Trust me and escape. Or stay here until they decide to let you out.
- Leo: [Cara overhears him as he stealthily approaches] I'll take over your watch, so you can get some sleep.
- Cara Mason: I'm not tired.
- Leo: Considering how easy it was for me to sneak up on you just now, obviously you need some rest.
- Cara Mason: It would be impossible... for you to sneak up on me.
- Leo: [scoffs softly, realizes he needs different tactic, sighs, then sees horses] So, Cara...
- Cara Mason: Yes... Leo?
- Leo: [grins] Do you like animals?
- Cara Mason: Ones that taste good.
- Leo: I meant, do you like pets?
- Cara Mason: I once had a dog.
- Leo: [whispers conspirationally] I like dogs.
- Cara Mason: [ever the realist] I trained it to attack on command.
- Leo: [brought down] I could see how that could be useful. Could you train a chipmunk?
- Cara Mason: [puzzled] What are you talking about?
- Leo: To obey your orders. Attack people. It's probably too hard, right?
- [Cara is vaguely amused]
- Leo: Ah... the mighty chipmunk. Fearless, cunning, stalwart. And sworn enemy of the Mord-Sith. Not even the touch of the Agiel... can break its tiny... but heroic heart.
- [Cara giggles]
- Leo: So, you do have a sense of humor.
- Cara Mason: You were right.
- Leo: What about?
- Cara Mason: [all huffy] If I'm laughing at your ridiculous jokes, I must be tired. I should get some sleep.
- [goes off]
- Leo: Sleep well. And don't worry... I'll protect you from the chipmunks.
- [Cara smiles as she walks away]
- Cara Mason: [as Leo practices swinging Sword of Truth about] Is the air putting up much of a fight?
- Leo: [smiling, points sword at her] Well, I could use a sparring partner.
- Cara Mason: Mord-Siths don't spar.
- [takes out both her Agiels, smiles:]
- Cara Mason: When we fight, we fight to inflict pain.
- [suddenly jumps on Leo, bringing him down just in time as whirling Dacra scythes through the air]
- Cara Mason: Someone just tried to kill you!
- Kahlan Amnell: [as Cara settles in for the night] I've never heard you laugh before.
- Cara Mason: [annoyed] Aren't you supposed to be asleep?
- [but, thinking of Leo, smiles by herself]
