Chapter 1
Richard Cypher- Seeker of Truth, Kahlan Amnell-Mother Confessor and First Wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorrander have been on their quest to defeat Darken Rahl for four months.
Richard and Kahlan have completed their work in Little Oaks and are now traveling to meet up with Zedd in Tanner Oaks. The last few days have been peaceful and given them an opportunity to relax. Richard and Kahlan are talking and enjoying the warm sun, light breeze and scenery, green plains with oak trees and birch trees, when unexpectedly a group of ten large men dressed in civilian clothes with swords and axes attacks them. Richard and Kahlan's happy mood changes as they quickly go into defensive mode to fight off the men. Taking a quick look at Kahlan, Richard ran at three of the largest men that came out the woods. His sword slices through the first man like butter not slowing when hitting bone. Richard then slices through the second man on the right side bringing his sword through the third man. The bodies drop with a loud thud and blood soaks the ground below.
While fighting, Kahlan and Richard are separated. Richard anxiously and quickly looks around to see how Kahlan is doing when he notices another group of men suddenly coming out of the woods from behind them. Richard hurriedly get rids of the three remaining men he was fighting and notices that the entire last group of men is going after Kahlan. Richard's adrenaline and anger builds and he uses it to help him get to Kahlan faster.
Kahlan is holding her own against the four men. She has just gotten rid of the third man from the first group when five more men move in closer surrounding her. Kahlan is unaware of the sixth man approaching her. Kahlan twirls swiping a dagger cross the throat of the first man. She then kicks the second man near her in the throat pushing him away as she uses her dagger to cut the throat of her third attacker. Winded, Kahlan grips the fourth man by the throat, while knocking the fifth man off his feet and cutting his throat. Just as she confesses the man in her grasp, the man that she did not see takes advantage by striking her in the side. Exhausted from fighting and confession she was unprepared for the blow, she falls hitting her head on a rock. The last thing Kahlan sees and hears before hitting the ground is the man coming toward her with a sword and saying, "die confessor" while Richard yells her name.
Meanwhile, four more men are off in the trees impatiently watching their comrades' attack the Seeker and the Mother Confessor. After seeing 15 of their comrades defeated and killed, one confessed, and the Mother Confessor injured, the leader orders them to remain in hiding, to follow and try again to capture the Seeker and the Mother Confessor.
