Maximillian II, the stern inquisitor, and Arcticas Nightmare, his cruel assistant, prepare a candle designed to test her purity. As Mannydewill, the executioner, stands by, Judith is made to walk a treacherous path, the candle's flame licking her skin, a torment designed to break her will. Her cries echo through the room as she struggles to maintain her innocence, but the heat of the flame tells a different story, revealing her true nature.
