Oh, this is so sad. I can totally see Richard giving his life to save people, and Kahlan all horrified because what can she do without a Seeker, and Zedd all heart-broken...


Zedd put one hand on her shoulder but there was nothing that could comfort her now. It was all over. The war was lost before it had ever got started.

Darken Rahl had won without lifting a finger.

This feels very IC for Kahlan to think, but at the same time...I suppose this is why they need Richard, more than that he's the Seeker. Because he would never just give up like that.
