"I will cheat fate." Chris stated simply, but his words were full of confidence. "If fate would cast the dice to determine her fate I will change them to produce the outcome I desire. Should it cast it's gaze upon I will divert it's attention elsewhere. I will kill that snake hidden in the bush, this wolf hiding in sheep's clothing before he realizes I suspect anything of his treachery." Chris stared unfaltering at the point in the black curtain of hair where the eyes of the man should be. "I face two battles next time I visit the city I am sworn to protect. Though it is ill advised to do so I will bare the weight of this burden alone and after the battle is done it will almost assuredly crush me. It will put my mind at ease to know that she, along with Nathan and Raine, will be somewhere safe away from the destruction. Although I know they will be angry with this decision."
