There were only hours left. Not days, not months, not years, only hours. How could she bring herself to fight this battle, when she was going to break his heart? She had to, that was why. Even if it cost her everything, this battle was to save Alagaësia.
Hours remained until the final showdown. Hours remained until one of them died. Hours until they dueled Galbatorix.
This is what being a Rider is all about. Being willing to give everything for what you love. I don't care if these are my own final hours, or someone else's.
We will win.
