"You do not. And it is better that you do not." he replied. "You only think you face great wars every day, that you dance with devils and yearn to fly with angels...this war we fight transcends good and evil. We are where both began, we are beyond it. Good and evil do not exist without my children and the shadows they hunt. In this game, you are all players...we are the field you play on."
He paused, sighing as he moved to kiss the top of her head, another gesture that was Tommy's, yet not at the same time. "We pray you never truly get to see."
