“Ought I to turn the other cheek now?” she asked aloud to the impotent god of the Franca, "Is it my lot to kneel before this misery?"
The God of Thunder answered her with a resounding boom which seemed to come from the darkening sky outside and reach into her heart.
No, Daughter of Kings, it told her,
It is better to die on your feet
than to live on your knees.
Rise now, brave ætheling.
Rise now, and fight.
