And I see you now, watching over your brave
Habrunt, as he lies in the delirium of pain and fever and torments upon
his cot. Are you wondering if Habrunt might be in danger of the
moon-madness?"
Si'Wren considered this momentarily, and then she shook her head,
signaling her answer in the negative. Yes, she believed in
moon-madness, but never had she questioned the power of Habrunt's
might. She did not believe that a mighty and valiant one such as he
would or could ever go moon-mad.
"Good," whispered L'acoci. "Hear me, girl, and mark me no fool. There
is no such thing as moon-madness. During the full moon, demons stalk
the land, seeking to afflict weakened minds, that people might blame
the moon, and call those so afflicted moon-mad, and thereby curse God's
creation which He hath called good. For this reason, yes, we must
beware the coming of the full moon, but not for it's own sake, but for
the madness and evil deception worked by unseen demonic powers, seeking
to deceive us mere mortals into thinking that it comes from the full
moon. But the full moon itself is nothing to worry about. Know this,
girl, and know it well. Behind every evil act of man is the still more
evil provocation of a horde of demonic and deceiving fallen powers,
for the unseen demons ever lurk, and ever shall until the very end of
time itself, seeking the souls of every man, woman, and child upon the
face of this accursed soil we walk upon, and the demons are very real,
and they are organized into an entire fallen kingdom of the damned, an
army of intelligent evil spirits, dedicated to the overthrow of the
Invisible God Himself.
