"I travel between two worlds. I've seen countless apocalypses, disasters, and tragedies."

"I want to ask you a question too, but not one so simple."
"Kiana, are you willing to live for me?"

Gently moving the girl's hands aside, the Valkyrie tightened her grip on the lance.
"Can't possibly win? I don't understand what that means."
