I didn't steal him. I fell in love with him. And he loved me, too. That's the truth, although no IceWing has ever listened long enough to hear it before. We didn't mean to ruin everything. Or start a terrible war, or make two tribes hate each other for all eternity. We just wanted to be together.

I am the greatest warrior in our army. I am Captain of the Aerial Defence. The genes of the best NightWings in our history run through me. The program is everything to me. I can train them. You know I can.
