Esclarmonde quietly lay on the bed. Her eyes were closed. It seemed that she slept
exhausted by losses. But I felt that it was just her defence. She simply wanted to be

alone with her grief. Her heart terribly suffered. Her body refused to obey... Just some
moments ago her hands held her newly born son and hugged her husband. Now they
went into uncertainty and nobody could say whether they would manage to escape from
the hatred of the "hunters" which flooded the foot of Montsegur and the whole valley.
The fortress was the Cathars’ last bulwark. There was nothing beyond it. They suffered
a crushing defeat... Exhausted by hunger and winter cold, they were helpless against
the stone "rain" of catapults which was pouring down from dawn to dusk.
– Tell me, Sever, why did the Perfect ones not defend themselves? As far as I know
nobody knew how to use "motion" (I think she was talking about telekinesis), "waft"
and very many things like that better than they. Why did they surrender?!
– There were several reasons for it, Isidora. When the Crusaders began to attack,

the Cathars did not give up, but after the cities of Albi, Beziers, Minerva and Lavours
were wiped out and thousands of their habitants died in the process, it occured to the
church to use a trick which could not fail. Before they onslaught of a city, they would
promise the Perfect ones, that if they surrendered, nobody else would be touched. Of
course, the Cathars surrendered... From that day the fires with the Perfect ones began
to blaze throughout Occitania. People who had devoted their whole life to Knowledge,
Light and Good, were burned like garbage, converting beautiful Occitania into a desert
scorched by fires.
Look, Isidora... Look, if you wish to see the truth...
