"I will," she said solemnly.
If anything attacked them he would fight to protect her. He wanted her to be sure of that. Just how far down were these steps they seemed to be unending.

They went down the uneven steps and amazingly Zyra only managed to stumble once, not that she had to worry about falling down the stairs because Kaizen managed to catch her and offered his support.
