Carved — Brenda K. Davies

River,
As the perilous journey across a country I'd long thought destroyed begins, I don't know who I am anymore or what I'm becoming. My abilities grow stronger with each passing day, as does the fear of what comes next. All I know is that I will do anything to avoid becoming like Lucifer, and to protect those I love, even if that means protecting them from me.

Kobal,
No matter what it takes, I will keep River safe, even if my actions end up driving a wedge between us. River is mine to protect, no matter how hard that might be to do now that our journey has begun. I won't stop until Lucifer is destroyed, won't stop until I claim my throne, and she will be by my side when I do. It's all just a matter of keeping her alive until then.
