Lost Colony AKA Wraiths of Roanoke Page #4

---

No, it's not indiscriminate.

According to lost myth.

The Wraight merely survives

on the soul of the innocent.

To actually cross over, they

need the soul of an innocent.

One devoid of all sin.

To cover their image of evil.

So, the visions are true.

They won't leave us alone,

until they have her.

Now listen, I will never

let that happened to her.

I promise you that.

Keep the men alert!

Just in case.

Stay alert, gentleman!

Be ready for anything.

The men are exhausted, they

haven't slept for two days.

Then will have to start

sleeping, during the day.

Ananias, we can not sit

here night after night...

with these damn things out there.

Eventually, they will

find a way in.

What do you want me to do? The

ships wont be back until spring.

I backed your decisions before...

but, perhaps it is time to

move to the Main-land.

After what Gregory and his men

did, that would be suicide.

And what do you calls this?

- I'm sorry, just...

- No, you're right.

I only had the colonies,

well being in mind.

We can't stay here.

But we can't leave either.

George, the answer to this,

is out there.

We have to find the source

of their power.

And destroy it.

We correlating our gunpowder

to the life explosives...

it should do impeccable

damage to them.

Great.

Besides, firing bullets

at those damn creatures...

just seems to do more

harm than good.

What exactly are we looking for?

I suspect, we will

when we find it.

Think we did.

I don't understand.

I thought they were

powerless during the day.

- My God.

- What?

Manteo warned me.

It's the forest!

The Wraights control it.

Avoid it!

- Try to go down!

- Abort!

Retreat! Retreat!

Back to the Fort!

Open the gate!

Open the gate now!

Ananias, are you alright?

Ananias!

What happened?

Where are the others?

What happened?

You! Build a ditch in front this

building and fill it with water...

exactly the same,

as around this Fort.

- Oh, come on.

- Not, now!

- Do it!

- Yes, Sir.

Why wont you talk to me?

I failed you.

And I failed everybody.

No one could have foreseen this.

If I had listened you.

Virginia would be save.

You would be save.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Virginia is still alive,

and so am I.

You will think of something,

I still believe in you.

I always have.

Wraith get in...

- They wont.

- If they do...

You need to...

And you did well, building the

inner ditch, around the compound.

At least the women and

children will survive.

That sound will go with me,

till the end of my days.

How ever long that may be.

Please, let us in.

We are so lonely.

Please, talk to me.

What's that man doing?

You there! What're you doing?

Return to your post.

You there!

Somebody stop that man! NOW!

- Come over here!

- No, don't! Keep the gate closed!

What's going on there?

No! No! Don't!

No! Don't do it! No!

She's walking over!

To Arms men! Two rows of rifles!

First row! Down! Aim! Fire!

Reload!

Down! Second row!

Aim! Fire!

Reload! Reload!

Stand, forward!

Don't let the children be taken.

George!

For God sake!

Unlock the door!

Eleanor, don't open it,

they will kill us all!

- Let's get him on the table!

- Why they do this?

Jacob...

Get him some water, now!

How did the get inside the Fort?

I thought we were safe!

She possessed Christopher.

Everyone stay away from the door!

- We have to give them the baby, Sir.

- What's that you said?

I said, we have to give them the baby.

- Why should we all die for your child?

- You better be quiet, before I'll kill!

I will!...

Stay away from my daughter!

You understand me?

Do you understand?

Do I make myself clear?

Eleanor, I want anything

up against that door.

Away from the wall, right now!

How bad is it?

He's infected.

Where're you going?

See Manteo.

- He will kill you.

- We have no choice.

I'm coming with you.

No... not this time.

Ananias.

Take this.

Just take the damn gun.

Ananias, be careful.

I can not protect you, if they

find you, they would want blood.

I need your help.

It's simple not possible,

after your men attacked...

You know I didn't give that order.

Word has spread to the other tribes.

There is nothing for you here.

Then we have no hope.

We will surely be death soon...

friend.

They say there is a cave,

on the island...

in the hearth of the forest,

a place where the evil comes.

A cave? Are you sure?

This story, that has been past

down for generations.

You must take me there.

Impossible.

You believe in warnings?

Then, heed mine.

The day will come...

when that evil, will no longer

be trapped on that island.

It will make it's way here.

Can you live in peace,

with the knowledge...

that you could have stopped it?

The forest will not allow,

save passage.

It will today.

Manteo!

How much further? This

rain could stop any moment.

Rain not quitting.

There.

Eleanor was right.

Just in case it's a coincidence.

Come on.

Look.

It's old Norse.

Can you read it?

It tells of the great expedition...

that was driven hundreds

of miles, of it's course...

until, it landed on an island

to the south.

Of course there is an old

Viking tale, of a great voyage.

One of the passengers, a woman,

was believed a witch...

along with her two followers

was tortured to death...

let the Vikings to be the blame.

The Vikings believed that

this horrible dead...

refused them entry to Valhalla,

the Vikings paradise.

Manteo, it happened here,

this is the place.

But how do we rid the

land of these spirits?

According to their beliefs...

fire is the necessary element

for their passage.

Their bones must be given

to a flame.

Their are no bones.

For the ritual to work...

the pyres are usually

accompanied by prayer.

To give them passage...

some part is missing.

They are between worlds, how

can we use fire against them?

If I say this in their presence...

perhaps I can trap them here...

long enough...

to keep them corporal.

Mortal.

Then the rest of their bodies...

what is left of their

unholy souls...

will be extinguished forever.

I don't know how to

repay you, Manteo.

What must we do now?

No, you must go.

You and your people

already suffered enough.

What will you do?

I'm going to give them,

what they want.

- Someone get the door.

- I'm on it.

- I told you I'd return.

- Oh my God.

You were right Eleanor,

about everything.

Your dreams may yet be blessings.

I feared, I wouldn't see you again.

- So you are suggesting that we build a...

- A raft, yes.

We'll grant them, their long

awaited passage to Valhalla.

- Like the river stakes.

- Yes, exactly.

It don't make no sense,

a spiritual vessel?

Not to see their demons, they're making

use of the human souls as disguises...

to cross over and they can do so,

when free off all sin.

But Ananias, I don't see

their purpose, exactly.

They also believe, that a pyres is

necessary, to set the spirit free...

to enter Valhalla.

- This is nonsense, there's no such place.
