I faced the Goddess. "What do you think of War?"
"It's a necessity," she immediately replied. "As I've told you before, conflict is an integral part of existence. I am not blind to what Filestra meant, Young Halve, but there is no denying War brings bravery, heroism, and sacrifice out of mortals. It is a means of defending their homeland, upholding honor, and preserving cherished values. Warriors were revered for their courage, loyalty, and willingness to lay down their lives for a greater cause, embodying ideals of chivalry and valor. Those Warriors speak to me in the same way a great performance speaks to Saravia, celebrated as exemplars of strength and virtue, with their exploits immortalized in epic poetry and folklore. You saw the battle between Tri'Kha Tilensis I and Stepana Boldani Ulgov, great Warriors of their times that brought great victories to their countries."
I nodded.
