ELIZA (There, on her leader's other side, one of the old man's assailant is aiming a crossbow at him. She spurs toward the archer, willing the little horse to crash into him, as Shaitann had done, but the beast shies away, however disrupting the man's aim. She stabs at him with her sword and is satisfied to see the blade strike home. Then, Blandamour is there, and his huge blade ends her opponenent's life forever. She dismounts hurriedly and runs to the old man.) "Father, are you all right? We got here as quickly as we could."
