— Erik, no lo estarás pensando en serio, es imposible que el caballo baje por ahí. Vais a mataros los dos — él miró a su amigo con los ojos ardiendo de un color azul ardiente y Jensen se dio cuenta de que la voluntad de su amigo ya no estaba dirigida por el humano.
— Si no consigo salvarla, es mejor para el mundo que yo muera también. Pero espero lograrlo.
