ELIZA (She follows Galadria , screaming up a storm. The orcs seem amused by this. She reins her palfrey a little, mindful to teach them a lesson, but remembers her Lord's strern warning, and spurs again. When she reaches Blandamour's side, she throws back her hood and draws the short sword and mounts the shield with Cedric's proud device upon it. She is ready for anything. Something whispers into her ear, "Today would be a good day to die," and, instead of being horrified, she is strangely comforted.)
