“Holy shit, I’m so fucking excited I could pee myself. This is as good as the time when I was on the moon, and I jumped clean over that crater when everyone said I wouldn’t be able to.”
Washer was on his right, shaking his head and muttering under his breath to Gabriel and the way my brother nodded said they were in agreement on something for once.
When you witnessed my death, I’m afraid it was an illusion meant for your mother to find. When I later discovered that you had seen it, I was heartbroken. But I could not reveal myself to you. For my real death has been planned for years, my boy, and it will have come to pass long before
P.S. Give Lionel Acrux hell for what he has taken from you and what he is yet to take.

“Dearest Milton!” I cried, my eyes wide as I realised what this meant. “Have you taken on a herd?” “I’m about to,” he said proudly, lifting his chin so that his nose ring caught the light again.
“I present to you, Eugene Dipper, High Buck of the Solarian Mischief of Tiberian Rats,” Father called. “And the instigator behind this treachery to our nation.” “I’m not!” Eugene squeaked. “I didn’t steal anything, I swear.

Beware the man with the painted smile who lingers close to your side. Turn the scorned. Free the enslaved. Fear the bonded men. Many will fall for one to ascend. Suffer the curse. The hunter will pay the price. Do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Keep the broken promise. Mend the rift. All that hides in the shadows is not dark. Blood will out. Seal your fate.
