"Life isn't fair, my lovely one." Safrin replies sadly. "Children like you have no place in this war. They didn't cause it, and have not been around long enough to do anything about it.

"The world is going to be different no matter what, Kamaria. Young or old, in just a few months time, nothing will be recognizable." Stretching out a hand that she might take Ria's, the goddess does her best to pull her child in close.
"Are you so very sure, my love? This is what you want?" Desperately, willing her daughter to say no, but just as unwilling to force her hand, Safrin takes her child's face in her palms and peers deeply into her eyes.
