She took a deep breath. "I am sorry for everything that had happened, but it is wrong of you for holding me to blame for it. I knew as much about myself as you did when we first met. I didn't know what dark shadow I dragged after me. I didn't know it would want to come for you as well eventually."

She fell quite for a moment. "The Umbramancer is still after me, you know? And if it takes me, it will surely come for you next. So... what I wanted to say is that. The only reason why I am still here, is to make sure that you get to have a life. If the Umbramancer only wanted me I would have ended this misery as soon as I could. But... now I can't. Because of you. Choosing the coward's way out and taking my own unlife would mean that I would put you in harm's way and I do not intend to be that selfish. So live your life as long as you can, Rowan. Together with your family. Live long and then die peacefully, while I..."

She tried to find the right words, but she found it harder than she had expected. "... while I will remain to hold off the Umbramancer... to make sure that you have the opportunity to live the life you want."
