Ryme, with a contingent of fellow knights and clergy, tied her to the stake and demanded she repent or she’d be burned to death. The witch refused, and Ryme set the light to the stake, at which point Dag-Raith, the demon possessing the witch, revealed himself. He cast a death-spell, killing Ryme’s compatriots and cursing Ryme with immortal life to forever regret persecuting him.
