Fair.

Aella and Doll walked on alongside the lakes, on the horizon ahead of them were snow topped hills.

“I know its hard to believe but it was definitely him.”

“And he said there is someone coming to stop us? Well that’s not much of a surprise. Did he say anything else?”

Aella thought about Claire’s warning, she wasn’t going to lie.

“Claire… doesn’t want us to rescue him, his mother is a hostage too, and if we turn up Claire will be made to kill us…”

The two walked on in silence for a short while.

“And we are still going?”

“Nothing is going to stop me.”

Doll looked over at Aella, her determination was admirable, but had she really thought this through, had she thought any of it through?

“Do you think I’m selfish Doll?”

“Not really,” Doll looked ahead, “To be honest I wish I could be like that, all that determination but not have to hurt people.”

Aella looked over at Doll.

“And what’s stopping you? The only way to live an ideal life is to live it regardless, if you want to be something then be it.”

Doll didn’t respond, she knew Aella was right, but naive, the world wouldn’t let warriors just fade away like that, it needed them.
