Rasha had perished for her father's piracy. The beautiful, innocent maiden was sacrificed needlessly. Fra Ortiz must have known of her innocence, but was driven on by a sadistic lust to ravage to the death this lovely young girl.

He walked from the chamber quite

must move on. There were so many more

-

prisoners to be questioned so much more pleasure to be found.
