The Holy Pilgrimage
Puzzle
Our champion struck down the beast, yet the village still mourned its missing children. As our carriage departed, Marcus—a man with a dark, unspeakable past—sat next to our pious Holy Leader and suddenly began to tremble in terror. I met Marcus's eyes, understood instantly, and silently shook my head. I calmly handed our Leader a breath mint. I know our true leader is already a rotting corpse, but our holy pilgrimage must continue. What happened?
