=does not avert her eyes=

I have lived long enough to know that evil can take different forms, and even hide behind the guise of innocence, or mediocrity. The information I have is from a reliable source. There is a witch here at the Fortress. And I do not mean an ordinary spell-fumbling witch. I have been tracking her for years now, and I have seen the destruction she leaves behind everywhere she ventures. Some say she is possessed, some say the particulars of her birth are to blame. Yet others claim she is cunning and ruthless, and fully responsible for all the pain and suffering she causes. Myself, I believe it to be so. And now that I have come this close to catching her, I am starting to lose my faith...

=lowers her head, then looks up at Aerdros again=

I am deeply ashamed to admit that, but I have begun to doubt whether the power of Good, or the amount of it I possess, will be enough to defeat this witch.
