Chapter 1
I know the agony that comes. I have spent my life and hers preparing for it and I am helpless to stop it. The darkness gathers even now drowning the light and I have no other choice but to surrender to it.
Pain swells in my chest.
I know this is only the beginning; the start of a firestorm that may destroy us all and I can do nothing but pray.
I have been her lifelong protector; her shield and I have vowed to ensure her protection until death; hers or mine.
I am the reason she lives, and I will sacrifice everything to ensure our legacy.
Even in this misery, this sadness that grips at my chest I look across the span of armies before turning to see her at my right.
She stands so tall, so magnificent, brave and beautiful in the sunlight; so innocent to the horror that is about to unfold for her.
Made in my image she is, without doubt, the centre of our universe. The reason I have lived and the reason I will die, and I will die peacefully, knowing she lives.... because she is all that can save us now.
