Adeline shook Reille awake. "Come on get up! The ogres are approaching!"
She pulled Reille from the room. "Quickly quickly."
"Mother shouldn't we fight?" Reille said.
"You are very brave dear." Adeline said. "But there is a time to fight, and a time to keep hidden. Sometimes you must remember that if your own life is lost, it will cause great despair to your loved ones."
Adeline pulled her under the table. "It's a different kind of courage. The courage to live on. It takes more courage to live, than to die."
A loud crash as an ogre broke in.
Adeline pushed Reille back into the guards arms as the ogre ripped the table away.
"Mother!" Reille sobbed.
Days later she stood at the funeral.
"Mother I will be brave. I will live on."
