Relic of the Gods (The Echoes Saga, #3)

by Philip C. Quaintrell

Do you see now, Gideon, Ilargo called. Together we have no limits. Or, in other words, without me you’re useless. Gideon couldn't help but smile as he met the dragon’s crystal blue eyes. Thanks...

That thing between your ears is more powerful than any weapon made in a forge, Nasta had said. Use it. Make your emotions serve you not command you. When you have perfect control over your mind you will have perfect control over your body. This is the balance all Arakesh must achieve…

The young Dragorn sat with his back leaning against Ilargo’s chest, where he could enjoy the warmth of his scales and the steady beating of his heart. A lot of bad things had to happen for me to find you, Gideon said. I would gladly go through it all again… Ilargo’s head curled around to be next to him. There were no words offered - instead, Gideon felt an overwhelming feeling of contentment. It was infectious and worked to relax the mage. He hoped that in Adriel’s final moments, he too had had the opportunity to speak with Galandavax one last time.

You dwell too much on the future. You are immortal now, Gideon; focus on the present.
