COLM IS SHOT, SOLIDLY .
The hospital is out of the question, those will be canvassed . McGregor’s mansion has proven a grave error—the Tiarna still has the talisman . The blood drains : the old man is handy with a pistol .
The hospital is out of the question, those will be canvassed . McGregor’s mansion has proven a grave error—the Tiarna still has the talisman . The blood drains : the old man is handy with a pistol .
His belt a tourniquet, Colm heads to Nessa’s—where else can he go ? Despite her anger, the healing ritual cast in circle . Foolhardy bravado : Colm feels useless, helpless . She cradles him closely as the sky begins to darken .
McGregor stands high on the balcony, laughing savagely : darkness flows into him . Quietly, his servant pushes him over the edge .
