I like shooting and fighting as much as any normal, sane girl but saying war is exciting would be overdoing it a bit. I always liked one-on-one way more.

[Or a bit more if she had the Will to help, but that doesn't look likely anymore. His loss- or would have been, if she hadn't died. Whatever.]

I know as much about the threat as you probably do, I'm afraid. Big bad evil, no one dares to speak its name, can be anyone he wants to be. I'll find out more eventually, but recognizance takes time.
