“This is not a discussion, John. We don’t abandon family, ever. I will be fine here in the valley. I have Ferdie, Sigvald, Thomas, and Rebya. If need be, we’ll all retreat into the Shadow Tower and Rebya can protect us. Even if multiple sages show up, they won’t be able to breach the tower. As for the other threats, the beast wave is nowhere to be seen, Allera has been crushed, and the Mages are in hiding. However, if you don’t go now, you’re going to miss your chance. Every moment you delay is a moment that Katrine is alone and suffering. You have to go.”
