Around her, the battlefield blurred into mist. Iris stood there, bathed in moonlight. “You are stronger than this,” Iris murmured. “But strength means nothing without love. You must remind them what they fight for.” “I don’t know how,” Liora whispered brokenly. “They don’t listen.

I never gave two hoots about the word, let alone the feeling.' he had been blunt. 'But as we got to know each other, she taught me what love was, and I forever will be grateful to her.'
