Somehow she needed to learn to be strong enough to stand with the mightiest and not go down too easily. How to do that she didn't know, but it was what she'd do.
If she could. There was just no other option now.
Like it or not she had to prove to everyone that the "Mistress of Souls" wasn't just a name.
Doing anything less would probably end in death.
Even doing it correctly might.
Until it did though, she'd do her part.
There was, it turned out, a war on after all.
Then, in one way or the other, wasn't there always?
