I still don't know if there is a divine plan. But I've come to realize that it doesn't matter. What matters is that we act. That we do what's right, when confronted with evil. That's what you did at Kvatch. It wasn't the gods that saved us, it was you.

Who fell cold beside the ford.
Hosts of heroes felt his sword
First in battle's breach.

Sometimes I wake up in the night and I think, was I ever really human? Or was I just a toad that got on her nerves and she made me think I was a human once? That'd be a real torture, right? Supposing there's nothing for me to turn back into?

Do not provoke me, wicked girl, lest I drop you in anger, and hate you as much as I now terribly love you.
