OUTLANDER (2026) 810 01 The Fiery Cross
For the last time, Jamie lit a fiery cross to summon the clans of Frasers Ridge to battle. A newly sewn flag for an independent America hung over the door of the Masons Lodge.
Solemnly, silently, the assembled men watched it burn before answering the call.
“Je suis prest,” said The Fraser, quietly. I am ready.
“TÙLACH ÀRD!” shouted The MacKenzies. High hill!
“Air adhart le sealbh agus lìon an làngaid!” shouted The Murray for Fraser. Forward with good fortune, fill the laggard!
“Fulaing le treuntachd!” shouted another man, for Fraser of Lovat. Endure with bravery!
“Aut pax aut bellum!” shouted The Gunns Either peace or war!
Drawing his sword, James Fraser shouted Lovat's "Caisteal Dhùnaidh!" For Castle Downie!
The Scottish men answered it, "Sluagh-ghairm!" Battle cry of the dead!
And they continued shouting with Jamie, his sword held high. It wasn't just his own life. Some of these men were going to die.
