->''Kings and queens of wasteland we were\\
And already forgotten the reasons to fight\\
From the day we were born was bloodshed forever\\
We've seen enough comrades go dead in the night\\
And kings and queens of wasteland we still are\\
After so many fights, the ground all in blood\\
Today is the day we all call ourselves free\\
And we throw all our weapons into the sludge.''

->''"In a fairy-tale our heroes have to walk through the dark forest, kill the monsters, evade the {{giant spider}}s but the important thing, without which the story could never be written, is that they emerge from the other side, into the light. [...] You need tragic relief. You need darkness for the light to show up. A truly dark novel would be a forest with no way out."''

->She'd made it.
->After all this time and all the heartbreak, bloodshed, horror and insanity that had been flung at her, she'd finally made it to the end of her self-imposed mission. This demented quest had led her from failed rebellions to overwhelming personal loss, from dimensional travel to a war between international superpowers. It had pitted her against the vagaries of her own temper, her long-suffering loved ones, against porcelain-skinned supermen, obsessive skinless boogeymen, and her own alternate self. And now, here she was, with everything she could have possibly wanted: victory, friendship, love, maybe even genuine contentment, and best of all, a bright future on the horizon. There was still so much more to do... but for the first time, she could honestly believe that she could meet the future with a clear heart.
