- Richard Cypher: If we don't find Flynn and get the Stone Of Tears, the Keeper will destroy every living thing. So you can come with us, or you can go after Cara.
- Kahlan Amnell: [after a moment of silence] If I ever see her again, I'll kill her.
- Sirian: [Ella screams, Sirian comes running, aiming his bow at Cara] Get away from my daughter.
- Grace: It's alright, mama's here.
- Cara Mason: I'm not here to hurt anybody.
- Sirian: Then leave now, before I put this arrow through your eye.
- Grace: [Cara prepares to leave] Wait.
- Sirian: Grace, stay away from her.
- Grace: Cara?
- Cara Mason: Yes.
- Sirian: You know her?
- Grace: She's my sister.
- Cara Mason: What's wrong?
- Kahlan Amnell: [dazedly shakes her head] Nothing. It was just a bad dream.
- Richard Cypher: Tell me about it.
- Kahlan Amnell: I was in a desert. There was a bird. And a blind girl.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: The starless blackbird of Caska.
- Flynn: [awakened] I'm trying to sleep here.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: That wasn't any ordinary dream. That was a message. It belongs to a Dream Caster. A magical clan of nomads living in the desert far away from here. Every generation, a blackbird befriends a small child. That child is then recognized as the High Priestess and has the power to send dreams on the wings of birds.
- Kahlan Amnell: The girl in my dream, she told me soon I would be the last of my kind.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Could be a warning the line of Confessors is in danger.
- Kahlan Amnell: I have to go to Valeria, make sure my sister's safe!
- Cara Mason: Valeria? That's hundreds of leagues from here!
- Richard Cypher: You can't travel alone. I'll go with you.
- Cara Mason: I thought there was nothing more important than taking him
- [grabs Flynn's hand]
- Cara Mason: and his magic rune to Pamorah to find the Stone of Tears.
- Richard Cypher: Zedd, you go on ahead with Cara and Flynn. We'll catch up with you as soon as we can.
- Cara Mason: It's a waste of time.
- [walks away]
- Kahlan Amnell: Why do you say that?
- Cara Mason: The Confessors living on Valeria are dead. When Darken Rahl found out there was a male Confessor living on Valeria, he ordered us to bring him the child. But when we stormed the island, the mother sacrificed the baby so we couldn't take it.
- Kahlan Amnell: And the mother?
- Cara Mason: She was eliminated.
- Kahlan Amnell: My sister? Dennee is dead?
- Cara Mason: There was no pain.
- [sighs]
- Cara Mason: I killed her swiftly.
- Richard Cypher: [Kahlan is enraged and her pupils become dark] Kahlan?
- Flynn: [horrified witnessing transformation] What's happening to her?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: It's the Con Dar!
- Richard Cypher: Kahlan?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Stay back!
- [to Cara:]
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: You have to leave now!
- Cara Mason: I only did what I was ordered to.
- Richard Cypher: [struggling to hold down virtual tigress Kahlan has become] I can't hold her much longer! Run!
- Cara Mason: But I swore to serve you.
- Richard Cypher: [yells] That isn't possible anymore! Get out of here now!
- [Cara runs]
- Kahlan Amnell: What is it about this woman that makes you always wanna rescue her?
- Richard Cypher: I believe people can change.
