Summary
It is the final day of the siege of Suchdol. Judgement Day, some would call it later on. The Praguers' camp had been razed to the ground by reinforcements arriving from Rattay: with Markvart dead, the rest of their forces flee.
Yet, despite being taken back, no victorious hymns echo through the fort. Mortal silence falls upon them: in the heart of the inner courtyard, Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein kneels, unmoving, on the blood-soaked ground. No words reach him—no hands are strong enough to pull him away. Those who try to approach him cross themselves: the young lord is blind to the world.
It is only Father Godwin’s prayer that breaks through; his palms shaking, spread over Hans’ head: Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua.
Fiat voluntas tua, he repeats, and waits.
Sicut in cælo et in terra, Hans finishes, his voice breaking. He raises his eyes for the briefest moment—as Godwin kneels down to gently pry his hands away.
Henry’s body in his arms is already cold.

Summary
In rejecting Erik's challenge, Henry has waived his only chance of a fair and honourable resolution to their quarrel. Scorned, Erik decides to go after the one person that's as close to Henry as István was to him.
Hans hasn't been his usual self lately. With Henry away in Kuttenberg, he decides to go hunting alone to clear his head, and perhaps feel useful for once. Unfortunately, he failed to take into account the loose end that is Erik.

Summary
They both could not truly understand if this was the reality they were gifted, or elaborate hells that they were still stuck within. But through late night reassurances before their final fight, they both find themselves grounded in a crazed reality that could only be blissful as long as they are with one another.

Summary
He snapped, awaiting the screams of terror from a smoldering of formless flesh, the sweet sounds of his name being screamed and intertwined with promises of mercy and curses—
But the four remained before him, weapons drawn and attention drawn to the wisp of smoke from his fingertips.
OR: Taking Raphael's powers away during the House of Hope fight, and dooming him to walk the material plane as a mortal man. Newly vulnerable to humanity's weaknesses, Raphael is forced to hide himself away where those who would recognize him would never find him--and complications arise when he's no longer able to temper his human emotions, and he falls for a mortal woman.

Summary
“Aww.” Karlach cooed, eyes locked on something up ahead.
Astarion was clinging to Gale, arms wrapped around the other man’s shoulders and waist and their lips locked firmly together.
“The heat of battle understandably can stir desires, but to behave so brazenly in the open.” Lae’zel hissed, the public display being far too human for her liking or even understanding.
“I think it’s sweet.”
Lae’zels face twisted.
“Somethings wrong.” The gith's voice suddenly grave.
