For those who walk in the shadows, bound by oaths they did not choose, yet find strength in the darkness they inhabit. To the fierce souls who, like Anya, navigate treacherous paths, their magic a desperate beacon in a world that seeks to extinguish their light. And to the formidable wills, like Kaelen's, that shape kingdoms from the crucible of war, understanding that true power lies not just in command, but in the unyielding grip of necessity.
May your own inner twilight be a source of unyielding resolve, and may your choices, however difficult, forge a path toward an uncertain dawn. This story is a testament to the enduring spirit that thrives even when tethered to the most unforgiving of masters, for in the darkest corners, the most potent flames are often found, burning brighter for the very shadows that surround them.
To the complex hearts that beat within the warrior and the witch.
