The Mistery of Belicena Villca cry or experience any pain in her Heart of Ice when her Son of Stone selfcrucified on the Tree of Terror and expired , but she was glad and poured out her Grace on the chained Spirits , because her son had died as the bravest White Warrior ever to face the Illusion of the Powers of Matter . The celebration of the Cult to the Virgin of Sorrows was instituted , as it could not be otherwise , by the ineffable Golen Pope Innocent III , when introducing the sequence Stabat Mater in the Mass of Sorrows , on the Friday of the Passion of Jesus Christ . Master Pedro Millán built , then , for the Templars , the church of Our Lady of Sorrows , since then , the patron of Aracena , an invocation that openly contrasted with the Virgin of Grace and Joy , Our Lady of the Grotto , who was worshiped in the neighboring Manor of Tharsis , or Turdes . When the Temple was finished , the image of Our Lady of the Sorrows was placed on its altar , which is still preserved , and received from Urban IV the hierarchy of Priory of the Knights Templar .
At the same time , they worked feverishly on the construction of the Castle , raised next to the Church , at an altitude of 700 meters , fencing with walls and pit a square adjacent to a Mudejar tower . Five years later , the church and the Castle were finished and the remaining troops , as well as the brothers Builders of Solomon , quietly withdrew from the area ; However , it would be many years before the locals dared to approach the Hill of the Castle of Aracena .
But this task was not all that the Templars undertook against the House of Tharsis in those years : the Castle of Aracena was an obligation imposed by the Immortals , to which they had faithfully complied ; now they would patiently wait for the return of Bera and Birsha so that They would use it in Their plans . But that patience did not mean immobility ; on the contrary , when the regions in the hands of the Arabs were reconquered , the Order launched a campaign of occupations throughout the country of Huelva , now settling garrisons in rescued forts and cities , now building new churches and fortifying sites . The distribution of such occupations did not happen at random , not at all , but obeyed a rigorous planning , whose targets never lost sight of the need to surround the House of Tharsis and conspire against the Blood Pact . To remember only the most important sites of those deployments it is worth mentioning the assignment obtained on the Convent of Santa María de la Rábida , in Palos de la Frontera , opposite Huelva , of which I will speak again . Or the complete possession of Lepe , the ancient Leptia of the Romans , located six kilometers from Cartaya , with the manifest purpose of controling the mouth of the Piedras River , where they supposed that the Lords of Tharsis could secretly navigate . Or the suspicious interest in residing in the insignificant Trigueros , 25 kilometers from Valverde del Camino , very close to Turdes , where they built the parish church that still exists : it is that Trigueros , an ancient Roman town , is located in the middle of a fertile and extensive campaign that in ancient times constituted the heart of the Iberian Tartessos ; in their fields , dozens of dolmens and menhirs were wisely disseminated , inheritance of the Blood Pact , to which the Templars , in those days , were dedicated to neatly destroy : only a dolmen was saved in the Villa de Soto , which can be visited today , since the Lords Moyano de la Cera , of the Blood of Tharsis and traditional manufacturers of sweets and honeys , prevented the Knights of Satan to carry out their infamous mission : Villa de Soto is 5 kilometers from Trigueros and the dolmen is located in the “ Cueva del Zancarrón de Soto ”.
In the House of Tharsis , of course , those movements did not go unnoticed and forced the Lords of Tharsis to take some precautions : they also fortified the Villa de Turdes and the Manor House , because they believed that the Golen were preparing to launch a Crusade against them pretending some heresy , perhaps denouncing the Cult of the Virgen de la Gruta ; and a force of five hundred Almogavars and fifty Knights , which was the most the Count of Tarseval was allowed to arm for other ends that were not those of the Reconquest . Unfortunately none of that would be necessary , but the Lords of Tharsis failed , once again , to prevent Bera and Birsha ' s diabolical plans .
By the way , you will wonder , Dr . Siegnagel , what happened to the Wise Sword , from the day Tartessos fell and the Vrayas hid it in the Secret Cave . The
