Highlander, The Series Title-Find Answers

Emit2020 didn’t want to leave us twisting in the wind, so he put us out of our misery quickly. A nice clean slice.

The Answer to the 52 Titles in Story 1

The episodes are in caps. Did anyone besides the librarian (who used dubious methods ) get them all?

REVENGE IS SWEET, or Is It?

At ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT, the crash of thunder awakened THE IMMORTAL CIMOLI from his feverish, HAUNTED dream. Peering out of half closed eyes, AS THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, he could still see THE HUNTERS stealthily drawing nearer, closing in on him. He was reliving the OBSESSION — being stalked by THE VAMPIRE and THE BEAST BELOW that was nameless.

His COURAGE all but left him. He tried to TURNABOUT, but there was NOWHERE TO RUN, no refuge from these TIMELESS, malevolent monsters. Blinking rapidly in THE DARKNESS, he could barely SEE. NO EVIL can be worse than this, he thought, as he shuddered to a full awakening.

“JUSTICE,” they cried. “You cannot play THE INNOCENT with us! The TESTIMONY of guilt can be read on your bloody hands! Run!” they laughed fiendishly, “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Your GLORY DAYS are over! Your JUDGEMENT DAY is at hand! We will hunt you TILL DEATH! No SAVING GRACE for you, Cimoli! Even on holy ground, we will find you. AN EYE FOR AN EYE, Cimoli! Remember, blood for blood!”

He sat up, drenched with stale sweat. His eyes still would not open completely, so afraid he was of what he might see. He stared ahead, half BLIND. “FAITH,” he muttered, “I must have faith. I’ve committed no MORTAL SINS; I’m an INNOCENT MAN. There must be REASONABLE DOUBT. I would never intentionally do SOMETHING WICKED, definitely NOT! TO BE hounded this way! TO BE the object of a MANHUNT to the death! ME! THOSe beasts don’t know me for THE FIGHTER that I am!”

The moon had risen. The rays pierced the SHADOWS of THE GATHERING clouds and made STUDIES IN LIGHT on the wall. Cimoli left the bed, stood erect like THE MODERN PROMETHEUS, looking down at the sleeping form of Chelsea. Once, his deadly enemy, now his lover. But was she? What was she? Lover or enemy?

Questions flooded his mind. Their REUNION held the PROMISES of forgiveness for past mistakes and INDISCRETIONS. Could this STAR-CROSSED lover be the cause of his nightmares? She had given him wine before he slept. Did she slip DEADLY MEDICINE into it? She didn’t know he was immortal! Was this her VENDETTA? Of course — she was the AVENGING ANGEL incarnate! She seduced and lured him with her COUNTERFEIT love like THE LAMB to the slaughter! But he was a lamb no more. The timid lamb was replaced by the raging lion. The SONG OF THE EXECUTIONER echoed throughout his being as he exploded in blazing fury.

“ChelSEA! WITCH! Fiend!” he cried. “You made an UNHOLY ALLIANCE with the devil and it ends now!” He raised his sword high, and brought it down viciously, powered by his anger and betrayed hopes. “DELIVERANCEe,” he whispered.

It was over. He was free. FINALE.
