Zion: 'She acts just like Lighting.....'
Margaret: It works just by boiling water? Could it be powered by the mysterious energies of the East?
Roland: Miss Margaret, besides Niter, I need Iron, Bronze, Lead, and Ferrous Sulfate. I hope you can provide me with these resources.
Margaret gives a bright smile with her eyes closed.
Margaret: No problem, Your Highness. If your town needs more, I propose a more long-term-
Her eyes suddenly go wide, confusing me and Roland until he sees me walk to the window behind him. I open the window and Lightning collapses into my chest with tears coming from her eyes. I carry her bridal style and look at Carter, who was also acting guard.
