"I know, child, but still I should have brought you out. It shows that you have the power. It is latent, but it is there."

"Hollein?"

"Is well, at the last word we had. He is with General Felix and they are actively driving the enemy back into the mountains. There has been much hard fighting but victory is at hand."
