“Captain, I applaud your valor and bravery in the face of pain-filled death. I pray protection on you and a safe return.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Crow and Vole listen in

Crow listed to Francis' speech from a sycamore tree right in the town square. Vole listened fro just below that same tree. Neither had ever heard of a Crusade before, but it sounded rather ugly.

(Francis speech continued) “Love your neighbors and pray for your enemies that you may be at peace with all and within. What part of 'my kingdom is not of this world' do you not understand?

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Francis gives a speech

“Brothers, Sisters, Neighbors, and Friends, You all know me. I grew up here in this Province. You all know that I was a party animal and a heathen in my beliefs.

Robin, Worm, Crow, Vole, and Raccoon - Francis heads to town

“Let's go!”, he said abruptly after a long silence. He grabbed his walking staff and stepped off for town. Sebastian managed to stay right at his side as they half walked and half ran.

Francis lifted his hands in a gesture of prayer and supplication: “Forgive us our dark ignorance. Raise us the the Unity we are.

“Come sit and tell me all of it.” Francis gripped Sebastian's arm and threw his other arm around his back.

“ For the beauty of the Earth; For the glory of the sky; For the Love which from our birth Over and around us lies.
