- Darken Rahl: The Wizard's power is useless against you, but the Mother Confessor is another story. Her touch is deadly to Mord-Sith.
- Cara Mason: I'm not afraid of the Confessor, My Lord. The Seeker won't stop until he recovers the Stone. And he'll kill you to get it. Please. Let us do this for you.
- [kisses Darken Rahl, but a sly look speaking volumes is shared with Dahlia]
- Darken Rahl: I'm so glad you've returned to my family, Cara.
- Richard Cypher: [standoff in the woods] Cara, don't do this.
- Cara Mason: You seem to have forgotten, Richard. Mord-Sith only take orders from the true... Lord Rahl.
- Sister Marianna: [leading assault] Once we've passed through the barrier, we'll head for the south entrance.
- Sister of the Dark: Are you sure the serum will protect us?
- Sister Marianna: Don't worry, sister. If it fails, you'll meet the Keeper sooner than you had ever hoped.
- Mistress Sara: [enters with journey book] Mistress Dahlia.
- Dahlia: What is it?
- Mistress Sara: Orders from the People's Palace. We're to proceed to Stowecroft right away. We're to find a schoolteacher. Her name is Cara.
- Dahlia: Cara Mason?
- Mistress Sara: You know her?
- Dahlia: A long time ago... when we were children. Before I joined my true family.
- [smiles, takes journey book, reads orders]
- Mistress Sara: What else does it say, mistress?
- Dahlia: Our orders are to kill her.
- Cara Mason: [in alternative reality, tied to tree] I have a son... and a daughter. I'm all that they've got.
