Become my friend and you embrace a nightmare.

Come, dear heart. Lean on me and let us walk this path together.

Real life is not quite as it is in stories. In the old tales, bad things happen, and when the tale has unfolded and come to its triumphant conclusion, it is as if the bad things had never been. Life is not as simple as that, not quite.

With courage and hope, we can conquer our fears and do what we once believed impossible.

Because if I see you defeated, then I think I will see Alban defeated, and if that happens, none of us can go on. To guard you is to guard the heart of this land of ours.

There is no good or evil, save in the way you see the world. There is no dark or light save in your own.

Become my friend and you embrace a nightmare.
