One of Sakani’s surviving moves ...
The night was tender, quiet and warm. Earth smelled of acacias, blossoming
cherries and mother-of-thyme. People breathed the heady aroma, feeling almost a
child's delight! It had been almost three long months since they had seen the pure night
sky or breathed fresh air. But it was their land, despite everything that happened on it!
It was their beloved Occitania. Only now it was invaded by the Devil’s own hordes
leaving no chance of escape.
To a man, all the Cathars turned to Montsegur. They wanted to look at their HOME
for the last time. They wanted to visit their sacred Temple of the Sun once more. A
strange long procession of thin emaciated people went up to the highest Cathar castle
with unexpected ease, as if nature itself helped them! Or could it be the souls of those
with whom they were going to meet very soon?
A detachment of Crusaders was still encamped at the foot of Montsegur.
Obviously the "holy" fathers were still afraid of the "mad" Cathars as they decided to
return and kept watch... The sad processsion passed the sleeping guards like silent
ghosts. Nobody even stirred.

– Did they "cloak themselves" then? – I asked in surprise. – Could all the Cathars
really do that?
– No, Isidora, they could not. You forgot that the Perfect ones were with
them. – Sever answered and calmly went on.
