Spanish Inquisition

Last seen roaming the country with Jason Blood after the fall of Camelot, Nimue Inwudu found herself alone in Spain in 1493… and in love with Marisol del Rios, the church seamstress.

But this was a time when Tomas De Torquemada, the Grand Inquisitor, was charged with the “defense of the Spanish realm, of both its faith and its purity.”

I will never understand how a faith that honors peace, and forgiveness can embrace such hatred and condemnation. 

When Marisol delivered her stitchwork to the Grand Inquisitor for inspection…

Nimue, called “Novia“ by Marisol, grew careless…

Our love is as natural as a bird in flight, as the rain in the fields, as the swaying of leaves in a breeze. There is no shame in such affection!

The church would say otherwise.

Sure enough, when the church found out, Marisol was accused of sodomy and witchcraft…

Nimue blinded the Grand Inquisitor and fled Spain, never to return.
