"Cerberus, to tell you the truth, I have not been the strongest in the galaxy for far longer than it took for me to admit it. "

She, the strongest warrior in the galaxy. She, the strongest, wrestled and ejected by two Coherent phalanx members. She, the strongest, outshone and outsped by two brilliant young lovers. A Ceronian princess, a dervish too dangerous to approach. The more she thinks on it, the more it brings a rueful smile to her face. 

"Even among those we travel with, there are stronger than I. I cannot promise you the strongest, and will not begin this friendship on the back of a lie.

"What I [i]can[/i] promise is that if someone is to harm you, it will be after going through me. It will be after I've exhausted all of my cunning and skill. I cannot promise the strongest fighter, but I can promise all of [i]my[/i] strength. I can promise to use my knowledge to help any and all I travel with. So long as I am with you, you will not lack a protector."
