Torrent would use all the power at his disposal to accomplish his hateful ends, and before all was said and done, it was possible—likely, even—that they would fall against his might. But if there was one thing that she was certain about, one aspect of the future that was not in doubt, it was that the Dark Mage could not extinguish the love she shared with Kaleb.
It was possible that everything around them would fall; that Aleio itself would be shattered, overrun by Torrent's forces.
But the love she felt while wrapped in his arms would persevere.
This love was something she could trust.
