“You had our help from the minute you got here,” he said. “It was never a question, Mische. Not for a Mother-damned second.”
I love Raihn!!!
“Is that what you think this is? You think I brought you here, what, to scold you? You—You just told me that you died, Mische. You died.”
Awe i love their friendship
I said, at last, “He makes me want a happy ending.”
Josué made me fall in love with being alive again<3
“You’re welcome here as long as Mische says you should be. But let’s be clear. If you ever hurt her, in any sense, I will peel your skin off and make you eat it.”
God i love her
This thing had eaten a guardian. A souleater, guardian, and countless wraiths, all in one.
H O L Y S H I T
Pray that the underworld would let me save her.
Please god im so nervous
“And swear to me that you won’t let it take more than you offer it.” This next one spilled out before I could stop it. “If we do this. Promise me you won’t let it take you away.”
Carissa im just gonna have faith that you will not take my beloved Asar away
And I felt his truth as deeply as I felt his song when he murmured, “I have never wanted anything so fiercely, Dawndrinker. Not ever.”
Im not lying when i say im choking back tears
The man before us wasn’t Vale at all.
WHO IS IT
Gideon sat in the center of the room, surrounded by everyone who had helped us, holding a weapon powerful enough to make or unmake worlds.
NO NOT FUCK ASS GIDEON
It hit me. That one extra glyph in the key. That one that hadn’t fit.
FUCK
It all crashed down in an instant.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST FUCK YOU GIDEON
The last thing I saw as the Sentinel hoisted me over their shoulder was Asar, face twisted in horror, lunging for me. But he was too slow. The Sentinel leapt into the sky, and the world was consumed in white.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME CARISSA??? WHAT DID I DO TO YOU??
I no longer cared to find Alarus’s heart. I cared only to find my own.
Im gonna screammmmmmm
“Kyrene,” she whispered.
Oop she's in the next books
The sister I had damned twice over now, come to seek her revenge.
WHAT TF?! Why are the gods so cruel???
Egrette stood over me, a spear in her hand, going straight through my thigh into the ground below.
Jesus christ just give me a break
And when she reached for me, I went to her.
ugh pls make good decisions
I drank in her image, pressing it to my heart—deeper, to my soul. Strange, that I could not remember her name.
CARISSAAAAAAAA
she begged. “Please. Remember your promise.” But the god did not remember. He did not care to.
:( pls dont do this to meeeeeee
Vincent watched me. “This is pathetic,” he hissed.
Oh suck a dick Vincent !!
I didn’t protect either of them in life. Not the way I should have. But I will be damned if I don’t protect them now. So get up.”
I hate when he makes me like him
How do you think you brought yourself closer to life? Did you think Asar did that? No. You were the one who wielded the eye of Alarus. You climbed out of Srana’s forge, remade. You.”
That's right Mische!!!
And my skin, where they had touched it, was now marked with streaks of red. Twisted, organic strokes like lightning, and an eye on the back of my hand. An Heir Mark. The twin to Asar’s.
Watch out Egrette!!
Perhaps in another life he’d known her. But he didn’t now.
this is so sick & twisted
“Too many ghosts,” she said, and turned away.
</3
I placed the skull over my face. Whorls of metal shifted and reformed, weaving around the back of my head and into my hair.
She has the eye (poppy flower), the mask (guardian's skull), now she just needs the heart…
“You will make mistakes,” I murmured. “And I will love you anyway.”
Im gonna cry
There, throbbing faintly in his palm, was a heart.
His heart !!!!
The god of death rose and picked up his axe. “I will take care of it,” he said.
Carissa pls hold my hand im scared
“Three times now, I have warned you, Nyaxia, of how this path ends,” she said. “I have had enough. This is my territory now. The king and queen of the House of Night have pledged themselves to me. And so now have the king and queen of Vathysia, the House of Death. You will make no move against them, or else face the wrath of me.”
DAMN OKAYYYYY
“That is not necessary,” he grumbled, adjusting the bandages around his arms as he pulled away.
Lmao im so glad he's alive
My sister was whole.
Hey! Im crying!
A beat. And then, “I helped her find you. It wasn’t difficult. She was already looking.”
SHE WAS ALREADY LOOKING !!!
“This,” he said, “is a Vathysian wedding ceremony.”
HELLO!!!
And here, in this twin soul, in this love we built together, I finally found it: Home.
This is so fucking beautiful
It was just a few steps away from being trusted, and being trusted was just a few steps away from one’s throat.
Oh im gonna eat his books up
