>>5854514>You could scarcely believe your eyes. Since when did Rex show any interest in child rearing? What madness would possess this woman to fight you while pregnant? Had your Bolting been just only a tad more accurate…you shake the thought out of your head. “I promise no harm shall come to you or your child.”Winona nods, satisfied. “Thank you, Blair.” She turns towards Kate, who has watched the scene unfurl in silence. You note that her eyes have never left you, and her hand lingers dangerously close to Gae Bolg. “What are you planning on doing, Kate? You chose not to fight the Blackwings so that you could stay by my side. Well, the battle is over. Adrestia is lost, and I’m going with Blair. Won’t you come with me?”
“Blair.” Kate says suddenly. “Do you promise that no harm will come to Winona? Do you swear it?”
>“I swear it. I’ve already given word to Corrine to prepare both your accommodations. No more blood needs to be shed.”Kate suddenly bows before Winona. “It was an honor serving you, my lady. I pray that you and your child find happiness.”
“Are you daft, girl?” Winona asks, panic creeping in her voice. “The battle’s over! Don’t do anything stupid!”
>“Kate!” You call out to your old friend, but your cry is drowned out by the sound of Gae Bolg being unsheathed and pointed towards you.“I am a Knight of Adrestia. An Ace of the Hellwings, dubbed the ‘Red Comet’ by her lord, Rex d’Rusalka, the Sky Shadow. My lord is gone, as are the brethren I’ve fought side-by-side with these last five years. They were slain by the one standing before me now. A woman that I once looked up to and called my Captain. I’m sorry, my lady…but I cannot allow myself to be captured without a fight. To do so would dishonor the memories of those I held dear.”
“You’re being hardheaded!” Winona cries out. “If I can forgive her, so can you!”
Kate shakes her head. “Even you fought against her, my lady. You, a pregnant woman who should be leagues away form the battlefield, were given the opportunity to avenge our lord. Now it’s my turn. Take up your spear, Blair!”
>You answer Kate’s challenge by unsheathing Gungnir and assuming a defensive stance. “Kate! I don’t want to do this! Please…let’s just talk!”“…I was never one for words, Blair.” Kate says. “If you have something to say, then say it with that spear.”
