“I’ll explain on the way. I don’t want a weasel escaping the henhouse because the guard dog was too busy licking its own balls.”
“Every problem has a solution,” Tommy said. “Just sometimes they’re not ones we like.”
“I thought you would use fire,” she said. “Lightning? While we’re submerged in water?” Under normal circumstances that death glare would have shriveled his testicles, but the lingering effects of the mushroom tea left him grinning.
“The only ones who seek out Logarius are fools with a death wish. Flee, humans. As much as it burns your pride, accept that tonight belongs to the dragon-sired.”
There was a fine line between a good teacher and an asshole, and Forrest had carved a canyon across that line and pissed in it.
“Too bad,” he said. “We’ll figure this out together, all right? You and me against the world if we must.”
“All right, Tommy,” she said. “Today is just the worst, so you better be fine when I find you, or so help me, I’ll make Devin botch your reaping ritual so I can yell at your ghost.”
“Eh, they’re young,” Perry said. “They still think death is for other people.”
“Sadness not a choice. Sadness is sadness. And why can’t human be part of family?”
Crksslff hoped so. It hoped for a lot of things, but right then, being content with its friends, be they human or dragon-sired, was the only thing that dulled the open wound of losing Fifissll to the world beyond Londheim’s walls.
“Humans have always been reactionary creatures obsessed with the present, ignorant of the past, and fearful of the future.”
“Losing Brittany was the greatest pain I have ever felt in my life,” he said as he shivered against a cold wind blowing through the graveyard. “Yet I would rather experience it a hundred times over than lose a single second of time I spent with her. Yes, Jac, it is worth it. More than worth it. I think it’s the sole reason the Goddesses put us upon the Cradle, to love and be loved.”
“The most I can give is all my heart, and if you’ll keep putting up with me, you’re welcome to have it.”
“Goddesses above, you’re so lame sometimes. It’s a good thing you’re not a poet. Your sentimentalism would cause vomiting.”
“Those I have befriended are kind, wondrous people, be they human or not. We are capable of living peacefully alongside these newly awakened races. I believe that with all my heart. Again, judge me as you wish, but I will not apologize for what I have done.”
While the church would have us trudge with eyes closed and heads bowed just hoping to make it to the heavens, I would have us walk with a song and a yearning to help and befriend others.”
“What are we doing?” Devin asked. He leaned back and stared into nowhere with blurry vision. “What is even happening to us? I don’t want this world anymore, Sisters. Please help us. I’m scared. I don’t know what fate awaits Jacaranda. I don’t know what my sister is becoming. Please, save us from this violence. I don’t… I don’t know what path to walk. I don’t know if I have faith left to pray, for my only prayers are apologies for my broken faith.”
Adria watched Sena go. She knew she should be bothered, but her heart was too heavy to add yet another weight. People would always fear her power, she knew. Even those who loved her.
