  I get all of that, but what about the defenseless?   Does it come down to glory? No glory it guarding  some paranet members, something she could do well considering her physical condition.  But by all means go for glory..

How is she going for glory? Pretty sure it is not going to make the front page of the Chicago Tribune.

Yup, that is her flaw and her sin, that is what got her body in it's present shape to begin with.  She took pride in her judgement verses that of the Almighty, got not only a Sword broken but her body as well.

A good Viking warrior wouldn't do stupid..  Her present course is stupid.. Harry knows, he also knows he cannot stop her, he also knows how it will end..

Perhaps she knows how she wants to go out?

A lot of people who have been fighting a long time, including people I served with, would much rather go out feet first. When you have been in the life long enough it sort of limits your options in ways people who have never been there cannot understand.

Fighting is what she knows. She fought to protect Chicago - her home. She fights to protect Harry. Murphy fights to protect what she loves and is willing to risk or even sacrifice her life to do so.

No greater love . . .

Nah, my degrees are all in actual fields, not "Symbology." (/snark)

(This thread happens to be squarely in my areas of knowledge; Ancient—Medieval history, and The Big Three of English Lit (Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer).) My knowledge (and interest) in History starts in Classical Greece and pretty much stops at the Magna Carta. The Crusades are a special interest, and a lot of that has to do with Arabic/Islamic/Christian relics and iconography, so a lot of my study was focused on that.


Just logging in to say I thoroughly enjoyed your posts in this thread.
