As Nassur and the woman make it through into the safety of the nascent smoke barrier, Vala draws her shabby longsword and joins the line facing the tunnel. She tries to steel her heart with a warrior's determination, to face what may be their last stand, but finds only fear and uncertainty. Judy's sorcery is powerful, but will it be a match for whatever foe savaged the other mercenaries beyond? It could be a veritable horde of night creatures for all they know. If they broke through, who would they face? The towering, titanic Zwiche, as tall and wide as two men. Daring Captain Finch, whose attitude could curdle the freshest milk. And... Vala. What qualities did she have? A month ago she would have said her acerbic wit and sensible jokes, but words are quite failing her now.
Nevertheless, if she is ever to make a name for herself, there's no better time to start. Vala does not shy away from the front, for her bravest moments are surely yet to come.
