By the time of his martyrdom, nearly all of the Germans, Hessians, and a large portion of the Frisians had converted to the Christian faith.

Tony was flying slower than usual, since he had an unarmored companion on his back, but still they were whipping through the sky, almost silently around the mostly-quiet, mostly-dark…
