The wall covered in ice suddenly begins to ripple like water before the woman appears. She stands in all her glory as she says "It was all necessary, child. Even I didn't see the course in which things were taken."
I sniff and do my best to glare but I'm pretty sure it was the least aggressive glare in history. Thane tightens his arms around me as the woman says "You altered the course by killing Silas but he took an unforeseen path. It causes multiple branches and... opportunities."
I sniff again and frown at her, still not understanding anything. She then points to us and says "Because of his love for you, he accepted my offer. My offer not only gives him the strength to deal with Silas and others like him, it also gives him the ability to remain by your side."
