Blood 32

Chapter 32
Now we're with Kahlan, who is leaping dramatically from a wagon, rolling through the snow, and yelling for men to help her. A soldier is trapped under the wagon, screaming in pain. Kahlan, her minions, and Orsk hold the wagon up, and we finally get an explanation: the wagon “grazed a piling holding back scree,” which piling broke, things flipped around, and now Stephens the soldier is pinned under the wagon with an axle impaling him. Tragically, Stephens, whom we've come to know and love through the course of so many sentences – at least five or six – does not survive.
I'll give you all a moment to compose yourselves.
We learn that Cyrilla, Queen of Galea and former inhabitant of the Rape Pit of Rapiness, is still in a stupor and still panics at the sight of men. She has insisted that Kahlan assume her position as Queen of Galea, and Kahlan has reluctantly agreed. Kahlan, Cyrilla, Zedd, Orsk, Cyrilla's brother Harold, and bunch of soliders are now headed for Ebinissia, City of a Thousand Corpses.
And that's the chapter. It was five pages; I've summarized it in two paragraphs. I think we should end this with a salute to that fallen hero, the greatest character in the entire series . . . Stephens.
Requiescat in pace, sir Stephens.
Drinks: None.
