Dark Relic Page #4

Synopsis: The Holy Land, 1099AD. The end of the first Crusade. When the conflict began, Christian knight Sir Gregory lead over a hundred men, but now less than ten remain. They include his squire Paul, a friar named George, and the arrogant Sir Robert. George and Sir Gregory discover a holy relic - a fragment of the True Cross and embark on a journey to Rome, to present the relic to the Pope. En route the ship they charter runs aground, their crew dead. Continuing their journey overland, the knights come across three Turkish warriors (two swordsmen and a female archer) and two pilgrims (a woman named Rebecca and an unnamed man) being attacked by bandits. The knights rush to their aid, and after a brief fight all the bandits are killed. They insist on accompanying Sir Gregory and his men on their journey, and the pilgrims also join the group. That night, the male pilgrim and one of the knights both go missing. Many other unfortunate things begin to occur to the group and Sir Gregory realizes that

- WE CANNOT DESTROY IT.

WE CANNOT LEAVE I AND WE CANNOT TAKE IT.

YOU HAVE PUT US IN A PUZZLE

THAT WE CANNOT SOLVE.

- WE HAVE NO CHOICE

BUT TO TAKE THE DAMNED THING.

- IF IT CAN WORK ITS EVIL

HERE ON HOLY GROUND,

WHERE CAN WE TAKE I THAT IT'S SAFE?

- IT DIDN'T WORK

IN JERUSALEM.

AT LEAST NOT TO THIS EXTENT.

- THE POWER OF THE HOLY LAND

MIGHT BE ENOUGH:

TO CONTAIN THE EVIL.

- WE MUST RETURN TO JERUSALEM.

- HEAD BACK?

- I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER WAY.

- THANK YOU.

- THANK YOU.

- FOR WHAT?

- HOW MANY MORE TIMES

WILL YOU SAVE MY LIFE?

- AHH.

HOW MANY MORE TIMES WILL

I PUT YOUR LIFE IN DANGER?

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO HOME.

HASAN AND BROTHER GEORGE

CAN ACCOMPANY YOU.

THE EVIL WON' FOLLOW YOU THERE.

- AND RETURN TO WHAT?

I HAVE NO HOME.

MY FATHER'S FORGE

WAS TAKEN BECAUSE

HE COULD NOT PAY HIS TAXES.

IT WAS HIS LIFE.

- PERHAPS IF WE RETURN

TOGETHER,

YOU COULD FIND A HOME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

LAST NIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE LOSS

FOR BOTH OF US.

I CONSIDER YOUR DEB TO BE REPAID.

- BAH.

MERELY A TIMELY ENTRANCE.

A FOOL COULD BREAK

OPEN A DOOR.

I'VE YET TO ACTUALLY

SAVE YOUR LIFE.

- YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WIFE

TO CONSIDER, MY FRIEND.

I HAVE NONE.

- NO...LADY WAITING AT HOME?

- [chuckles]

I WAS MARRIED ONCE

IN MY YOUTH.

- AND WHAT HAPPENED?

- SHE DIED IN CHILDBIRTH

ALONG WITH THE CHILD.

- I THINK YOU SHOULD REST,

MY FRIEND.

- SPARE ME YOUR PITY.

[spits]

[grunting]

- DON'T MOVE.

DON'T EVEN BREATHE.

- DO WE NOT HAVE

ENOUGH PROBLEMS:

WITHOUT FIGHTING

AMONGST OURSELVES?

- THE FOOL'S AFFLICTED

WITH MADNESS!

- [laughs]

HE OFFENDED ME.

- AND HOW WOULD THAT BE,

SIR ROBERT?

- I DON'T LIKE

THE LOOK OF HIM.

AND AS FOR YOU...

LAY A FINGER ON ME AGAIN

AND YOU WILL BLEED, WHORE.

AND YOU WILL NOT STOP ME.

- I WILL NOT NEED TO.

SHE CAN FIGHT HER OWN BATTLES.

- WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU?

- [screams]

- HIS SKIN IS BURNING.

- THE FEVER WAS CLEARING.

WHAT WAS THAT?

- A SPLINTER?

- HE'S BEEN POISONED

BY A SPLINTER FROM THE RELIC.

IT'S WORKING INTO HIS BODY.

- WHAT CAN WE DO?

- IT'S BEYOND MY KNOWLEDGE

TO CURE HIM.

- [gasps]

LET ME GO!

- [grunts]

- WE'LL HAVE TO BUILD

A STRETCHER.

- A FOULNESS AFFLICTS HIM.

SOMETHING WICKED COMES NEAR.

THE STORM, THE PLAGUE...

IT'S GETTING WORSE.

A DEMON STRENGTHENS

AND DRAWS CLOSER.

- DID HE HURT YOU?

- NO.

- NOW HAVE SAFA TAKE

A LOOK AT THA:

AND THEN STAY CLOSE BY.

- I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT.

- SIR ROBERT'S CONDITION

IS DETERIORATING.

TO STOP NOW WOULD BE

TO CONDEMN HIM TO DEATH.

- THEN WE GO ON.

- [speaking Latin]

[speaking Latin]

[explosions

and startled reactions]

- [speaking foreign language]

[demon growls]

- THE DEMON HAS FOUND US.

I DON'T FEAR YOU, DEMON.

I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD

ON MY SIDE.

CHRIST IS MY SAVIOR,

AND IN HIS NAME:

I CAST YOU TO THE PI OF HELL WHERE YOU BELONG.

BEELZEBUB,

EATER OF THE DEAD,

BE GONE BACK TO HELL!

[demon roars]

[grunts]

UGH!

- DIE BY MY BLADE.

[demon roars]

- IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,

HIS SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT,

I CONDEMN YOU.

- [screams]

- [gasps]

- SAFA!

- GET THEM OFF ME.

HELP ME!

[grunting and groaning]

HELP ME!

[screams]

- [yelling in foreign language]

[demon growls and roars]

- THE DEMON HAS FOUND IT.

- [speaking foreign language]

- DID YOU KILL IT?

- THE HOLY SYMBOL DREW

ITS BLOOD, BUT...

I DON'T THINK IT KILLED IT.

IT HAS BOUGHT US

A LITTLE MORE TIME THOUGH.

WE MUST DESTROY:

THE RELIC BEFORE--

BEFORE THE BEAST RETURNS,

ELSE...

WE ALL DIE THIS NIGHT.

[grunts]

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS WISE?

- WE HAVE NO WAY

OF DESTROYING THE RELIC.

WE MUST BURY IT,

SO NO ONE ELSE HAS

THE MISFORTUNE OF FINDING IT.

AND THEN WE RETURN LATER,

BETTER PREPARED.

- RETURN?

- WITH AN ARMY FROM JERUSALEM.

200 MEN TO FIGHT THAT DEMON.

- 200, 500, 1,000!

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

- WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

- SIEGE WEAPONS.

MY FATHER HELPED BUILD

SOME ONCE.

A MACHINE OF WAR WILL

BE POWERFUL ENOUGH

TO SLAY THE BEAST.

- YOU MAY BE CORREC TO A POINT.

IT IS HELL SPAWN.

MORTAL WEAPONS CANNOT KILL IT.

- THE FEVER GROWS WORSE.

[grunts]

- HE NEEDS TO DIE.

- NO!

HE'S A KNIGHT.

HE FOUGHT WITH HONOR.

HE DOESN'T DESERVE

AN INGLORIOUS DEATH.

- THEN WE MUST KEEP

THAT DOG ON A LEASH.

- LET'S LEAVE THIS PLACE

AND PUT THIS NIGHTMARE

BEHIND US.

ROBERT.

ROBERT, YOU NEED TO EAT.

ROBERT, I KNOW YOU'RE

INSIDE THERE.

I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME.

DON'T LET THIS THING

CONTROL YOU.

FIGHT THIS THING.

- [distorted voice]

YOU WILL DIE HERE.

YOUR SOUL WILL ROT IN HELL.

- YOU ARE A KNIGHT!

- YOUR SPIRITS ARE DEAD.

- YOU ARE A CRUSADER.

- [gagging groan]

- HOW IS HE?

- HE NEEDS AN EXORCIST.

- MORE IMPORTANTLY,

WE NEED FOOD.

THAT WAS THE LAST.

- WE HAVE PASSED

NO ANIMALS FOR DAYS.

AND STILL IT'S A DAY'S RIDE

TO THE NEAREST TOWN.

- HAVE NO FEAR.

THE EVIL IS BEHIND US.

ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA-TA'ALA

IS GUIDING US ALONG

A SAFE PATH.

OR PERHAPS IT IS CHRIST,

PEACE BE UPON HIM.

IF WE BOTH PRAY,

SURELY SOMEONE:

WILL BE LISTENING.

EITHER WAY,

WE WALK AS BROTHERS.

WE WILL SURVIVE.

- FATHER, FORGIVE ME FOR

ALL MY SINS.

[muttering]

- SORRY.

I--

CAN I PRAY WITH YOU?

- OF COURSE.

I THOUGHT YOU DOUBTED.

- I SAW THAT DEMON

WITH MY OWN EYES.

FROM WHICHEVER HELL IT CAME,

I SAW IT.

THAT MEANS THAT THERE

IS A HELL.

- THEN...THERE MUS BE A HEAVEN.

[snakes hissing]

- SIR ROBERT?

- AHH!

- [screams]

- [groans]

[screams]

- MAY THAT BE THE LAS OF THE DEMON SPAWN.

- AT DAWN, WE GO DOWN.

MAKE SURE HE'S DEAD.

- WE'RE BEING WATCHED.

- IT'S JUST YOUR IMAGINATION.

- THIS VALLEY IS PERFEC FOR AN AMBUSH.

- DOES THAT MEAN

WE HAVE WILLINGLY

WALKED INTO A TRAP?

- WE'RE JUMPING AT SHADOWS.

HE'S NOT HERE.

COME ON.

[deep rumbling and gasps]

- IT CANNOT BE.

[rumbling]

- [gasps]

- [grunts and screams]

RUN!

- OUR PROBLEMS

ARE FAR FROM OVER.

- CAREFUL.

- CAREFUL.

DON'T TOUCH IT.

- IS THIS REALLY

CHRIST'S BLOOD?

- IT IS.

- WHY DOES IT CONTINUE

TO BLEED?

- FOR ALL THE PAIN

THAT CHRIST ENDURED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- IF IT'S GOING

TO KEEP TURNING UP

EVERYWHERE WE ARE,

THEN WE MAY AS WELL

CONTINUE TO CARRY IT.

AT LEAST THIS WAY WE KNOW

WHERE IT IS.

LET'S GO.

- WHAT IS IT?

- I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.

- YOU CAN.

YOU CAN.

IT THRIVES ON OUR DESPAIR.

STAY STRONG.

- MY FRIEND...

YOU SHOULD TAKE:

A LOOK AT THESE.

- LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE

IN A SIEGE.

- THIS WAS NO WAR BETWEEN MEN.

- THESE WERE FIGHTING MEN

HEADING FOR THE HOLY LAND.

- WELL, THEY FOUND HELL

RIGHT HERE.

- THESE TRACKS ARE ALMOS TWO DAYS OLD.

- THAT'S BEFORE

WE WERE SHIPWRECKED.

FRIAR GEORGE THOUGH THAT IT HAD BEEN

DRAWN TOWARDS US.

BUILDING ITS POWER

TO CONFRONT US.

WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I FINDS US AGAIN.
