Two roads in front of me, one 'safe' and one 'dangerous'. One leads to the unknown of darkness and the other is equally murky. Which should I travel down? I know which one is expected of me, but it has no appeal to me. To rule a kingdom, I cannot do that. I am a warrior first, not a ruler. I don't know anything about ruling being a simple village girl with a few sword tricks. No, that road is not for me. I would be a poor queen, having no experience with the various politics and customs. Give me a trusty old blade rather than a gaudy deceptive scepter.

But the other road, where would it lead? There are no more Ahrimans here, I am a warrior without a monster. Well, I didn't win by being afraid of fate. Whatever they throw at me, I will handle it. And, as sure as I can breath, I will reach the end.
