I nod and let him follow with the boys to rally the army. I slump down against a tree, trying to make sense of my life, everything has changed, I don't understand anything anymore. I love Cory, but I also hate him, and I trust him completely but I'm wary around him. I let tears born of confusion slide down my cheeks, why can't the world make sense?/p

I walk down the passageway determined, we need this for the battle, we need the charm, I hid it so that if someone came for it the charm would be far out of reach. I reach the chest in which the charm is placed. I open the chest and pull out the charm, it's a golden symbol meaning light and life in the ancient language of the gods, on a silver chain. I put the chain around my neck and slide the charm under my shirt before making my way back to camp./p

I walk up the main staircase and see some engineers constructing a large portal that many of can go through at a time, good, they're also making short enough so that ghasts won't get through easy. I nod with approval and continue up the stairs towards my room, I'm exhausted, tomorrow we prepare./p
