"He's using the rift to send creatures into our world." "And the only way to close this rift is for us to find the Stone of Tears." "This prophecy means that if you continue searching for the Stone of Tears you will find it." "But you will give it to the Keeper." "I don't believe in prophecies." "Sister Nicci, bring me the Stone of Tears." "From now on, I serve only myself." "(Cara) The Seeker could use a fighter as strong as you, Dahlia." "We could serve him together." "(Kahlan) Do you think we can trust her?" "(Dahlia) I wish there were another way." "(Rahl) Your sisters and I have missed you." "( Agiel whining ) Aah!" "(Zedd) Cara attacked me." "She took the stone." "It's good to have you back." "There has to be a way of undoing whatever it was Rahl did to her." "There is one way but the results are unpredictable." "It's called the Spell of Undoing." "( chanting in ancient tongue )" "You are now joined as husband and wife." "(Zedd) The spell seems to have changed everything." "(Richard) It's a new day in D'Hara, Zedd." "I have the power of Orden." "(Kahlan) So Richard has been able to use his power wisely." "Where's Cara?" "Who's Cara?" "(Richard) Sounds like she has a better life in this world than she did in the other one." "(Keeper) Victory has been stolen from my grasp." "The time has come for you to serve me." "(Marianna) Once we have acquired the boxes, we will be able to deliver the Keeper a great victory." "If Richard no longer has the power of Orden, then the Mord-Sith and Darken Rahl are no longer under his control." "Kneel before me." "(Zedd) Rahl has the power of Orden." "(Kahlan) He's controlling Richard." "I can try to reverse this spell." "Do you really wanna go back to an existence where the dead walk among the living?" "The Keeper is on the brink of victory." "(Zedd) I wish there was another way, but there isn't." "( grunts )" "(Zedd) Dahlia." "She's dead."

"If I confess her," "I can command her to give Cara the Breath of Life, and then you can perform the spell." "I'm going to perform the spell on Dahlia instead." "Why?" "Because it should have the same effect on her that it did on Cara." "It'll undo all the Mord-Sith magic that was ever done to her." "And if Dahlia were never a Mord-Sith," "Darken Rahl couldn't have used her to lure Cara away." "Zedd, we've seen how unpredictable this magic is." "Kahlan, I can't give Cara back the life she had in this world." "But if this spell works," "I can give her back the life she had with us." "A life she was proud of."

"Zedd, are you all right?" "I'm fine." "I think." "Just tell me where we are." "Gilgalar." "On the way to the Pillars of Creation." "Zedd, what's going on?" "It's a long story." "(Richard) Well, you'd better tell us on the move." "We need to find a safe place to set up camp before it gets dark." "Are you sure we shouldn't keep going?" "Kahlan's right." "The solstice is the day after tomorrow." "We need to get to the Pillars." "We'll get there in time." "But not if we're so tired that we can't fight off the next horde of banelings that attacks us."

"It appears you and I now have something in common:" "Neither of us serves the Keeper anymore." "Hm." "Tiresome old creature, isn't he?" "It's so hard to keep him happy." "And you won't be very happy when the Seeker fails, and your former master gets his hands on you again." "He's not known for forgiving those who betray him." "And the Seeker is not known for failure." "Have you forgotten the Prophecy?" "He will deliver the stone to the Enemy of the Light." "If there is one thing I have learned, it is never to wager against my brother." "Prophecy or not, he will succeed." "Your overconfidence can only mean one thing:" "you know that Richard already has the stone and where he's taking it." "Tell me." "Why in all creation would I tell you?" "I can protect him." "But only if you tell me where he's going." "And how do I know that you are not still in league with the Keeper?" "So the great Darken Rahl is just going to wait for his little brother to save the world?" "Oh, waiting's not so bad, as long as one finds amusing ways to while away the time." "Why don't you join me?" "The water's warm." "Not as warm as it's going to be." "( screaming )" "Where is the Seeker taking the stone?" "( screaming )" "The Pillars of Creation!"

"One of our order has spotted the Seeker on the plains of Gilgalar, heading north, toward the Alithian Sea." "We will travel there and intercept him." "And how will we defeat him on our own, without the Keeper's help?" "We summon him, Marianna, but he does not come." "I fear he has grown deaf to our prayers."

"You truly believe you and your sisters are a match for the most powerful sorceress in the known world?" "She infiltrated this temple under your noses and almost boiled me alive." "We will avenge the affront." "Revenge is a petty motive, Garen." "Kill her we must, yes." "But not for vengeance sake." "We must kill her to ensure my brother's victory." "Because if he fails, the Keeper will torture us all for eternity." "You do not believe Nicci intends to protect Richard as she claimed." "I believe she intends to use him somehow to serve her own ends, whatever those may be." "Since we know where the Seeker is going, we know where Nicci will be." "But you cannot defeat her alone." "You will join forces with the Seeker and his retinue." "My Lord-- You heard me!" "In this dark hour there is no one we can depend upon more than my fearless brother."

"Oh, I wish I could take you, but coming with me is much more dangerous than staying here." "What if you never come back?" "( tender theme playing )" "See this?" "It's the Stone of Tears." "I'm bringing it to the Pillars of Creation." "Tomorrow, when the sun is at its highest, its light will pass through the stone and repair the veil to the Underworld."

"Why do I need you to protect me when I have the Seeker?" "I don't understand." "I took the body of this boy, who was killed by my banelings, because I knew that Richard Cypher could never turn away from a helpless child." "You will kill him and then take the stone."

"And by his hand will the Seeker be blindly led."" "The solstice is tomorrow." "That's why I needed to find you." "So you could warn the Seeker." "I haven't seen Richard since he left the Old World."

"Then if we kill Nicci, Kahlan will be released." "We have to catch up to them first." "(Verna) The hour of the solstice draws near." "What can I do to help, with so little time?" "Send a message by Journey Book to your brothers in all the provinces." "Tell them to search for the Seeker." "If they see he is traveling with a child, they will know the Prophecy is true." "And they must kill the child." "Verna, the brothers of this order have devoted themselves to protecting all life." "Prophecies are seldom as clear as this one, Brother Joseph." "The Seeker is being deceived by the Keeper in the form of a child." "As soon as your brothers find him, they must act without hesitation."

"But I have a better idea." "We'll just take your horses." "Cara." "You can't seriously be considering this." "If we fight them, we could lose."

"He's going to serve me." "How?" "He trusts you." "Once we've caught up to him, you'll get close enough to confess him." "That's why I didn't take all of your han." "I will do whatever you wish." "But how is the Seeker going to serve you if he's confessed to me?" "You will order him to give me the Stone of Tears." "It has the power to bestow immortality even while the Keeper does me the great favor of destroying all the rest of the pathetic life that inhabits this world."
