Bromisnar took out his lute, and Bonte walked to me.
"Remember what I told you in the river." I gently raised her to her feet and gave her a soft kiss. "It's nobodies business but yours, and we'll stand beside you as long as you need. Make your choice. You have the power to move forward."
She looked me in the eye and nodded. Then, her face slowly changed from uncertainty to determination.
"I want power." she growled. "To never feel weak again. Never to be toyed with. Never to feel fear, pain, nor despair."
I nodded. "And to do that, you need to face it all. The fear, the pain, the despair. We can't solve this problem for you, but we'll support you. No matter what."
The monsters were reaching us, Yolin summoned her extra arms and all her skills came to life.
"They won't move past me." she spread all her arms around her.
I looked at Alyssa. She had taken her helmet off and was smiling from ear to ear.
We gave each other a nod and I walked off towards Yolin, Bonte following me.
