"So, please, tell me of your plan if this is in fact an Ice Dragon, which I most certainly hope it is not, but let's just say it is, how are we to defeat it without one of us dying. That one of us being me of course, even though we are supposed to try to be together after this, I would gladly fall on a blade just to make you safe, to make you all safe." This was not just a phrase she was uttering because she was fantastically head over heels in love with Ethel, but because she really wanted this to be over and the world to be safe, for as long as the threat of the omen loomed, it would never be.
