Kindle Notes & Highlights
The closest mountaintop was damaged where the fallen star had streaked through the sky and slammed into it, boulders and rocks strewn across the side of it, disappearing into a ravine somewhere ahead of me.
Is this the star that hates them?
I hung my head, the stars’ silence like a dismissal that told me all I needed to know about how much they cared for my predicament.
Just remembered the imperial star breaking off her neck... Anyone gonna find it orrrr did somebody already
“Hello, darling,” she said softly, and I froze, sure this was impossible. “Can you see me?” I breathed in disbelief, wanting to shrink into the shadows so she couldn’t see the truth of me. “Yes, we both can.” She ushered someone closer, and my father stepped into view a little hesitantly, making my heartbeat stutter.
DAMNIT
“It is the greatest gift to meet you,” Hail said quietly. “I see your mother in your features, but I’m there too…” He reached for me, his fingers pressing to the glass of the mirror he could see me through, and I touched my fingers to his, feeling nothing but cold water, but sensing him through the connection of my mother’s Sight somehow.
The hail merissa plotline breaks my fucking heart
“We love you, Roxanya and Gabriel to the depths of our hearts,” he said fiercely, the words resounding through the fabric of my being, stitching together some long broken thing. “Always and forever,” my mom confirmed, and tears welled in my eyes.
Im loving this
When all hope is lost, and the darkest night descends, remember the promises that bind. When the dove bleeds for love, the shadow will meet the warrior. A hound will bay for vengeance where the rift drinks deep. One chance awaits. The king may fall on the day the Hydra bellows in a spiteful palace.
Im gonna try to make sense of this but lord knows i probably wont. Hail is obviously the hydra and the spiteful palace is the palace hes in beyond the veil. We will see about the rest
The Imperial Star seemed so innocent as it lay there, speckled with blood and muck, filled with limitless power which was utterly unattainable while that monster sat upon my father’s throne. It was still hidden within the intricate silver amulet, hanging from the chain that had once belonged to Darius, a piece from his closely guarded trove.
Oh thank god she found it
Catalina Acrux had been my family and now she lay dead alongside the man she’d finally found love with upon a battlefield of slain Fae who I should have been able to lead to victory.
FUCK
Lionel looked over at me with intrigue, his eyebrows arching as he took in his queen’s captive. Two glittering, lilac Pegasus wings with a rainbow sheen were lying on the floor behind him and my stomach knotted in horror as I recognised them as Xavier’s.
This sick fuck
“Darius Vega is the greatest Dragon who ever lived,” I spoke loud and clear, making Lionel fall deathly still. “What did you just call him?” he asked venomously, danger thick in the air. “He married Tory. She is more powerful than him, so that made him a Vega,” I said, relishing this final blow I could land to him, feeling Darius’s defiance humming through the air and knowing Lionel could feel it too.
HA FUCK YOU
I was living on borrowed time, uncertain what hope I could even muster with the small amount of magic lingering in my veins
Is this how justin goes out? Cuz that is actually so sad
Death to the Dragoon who had stolen so much from us in this true and gallant war. Death to the soulless shadow wench who had spilled into our world like a plague of decay from whence she should have stayed. Death to the army of cretinous, bark-skinned lombardos who stomped across valley and glen, fighting the bad fight. And death to the heinous hag who had stolen my dear Angelica into the nevermore.
Couldnt have said it better myself
“Someone needs to find a Basilisk,” I commanded. “The last Basilisk in Solaria was killed six years ago,” replied a man I neither knew nor cared to find out more about as he withdrew his hand from Xavier’s side. “And there is nothing else that can save him. I’m afraid it’s-”
Ryder i stg help him
“You have the antivenom?” I inquired, fatigue lining every one of my words. “We do,” the man coated in Disney tattoos growled, a grim set to his features as he looked upon poor Xavier.
Thank god
Three coffins carved of ice.
Ffs
I, Geraldine Gundellifus Gabolia Gundestria Grus, was alone, and I felt as though I was standing upon a spinning compass, directionless, true north abandoning me to the chaos of a circling needle. For where did I go from here?
Crazy name. Continue.
“When all hope is lost, and the darkest night descends, remember the promises that bind. When the dove bleeds for love, the shadow will meet the warrior. A hound will bay for vengeance where the rift drinks deep. One chance awaits. The king may fall on the day the Hydra bellows in a spiteful palace.”
Real talk, i know im not smart enough to figure this out...
Me, him, Max and Darius. It had always been the four of us, and it would be the same when we ended up beyond the Veil.
Im gonna sob when they find out what happened to darius
the hammer of Thor.
Jonathon?
All eyes beneath us turned upward as the power of the Acrux line, which had stood unchallenged for far too long, buckled and broke beneath the might of a Vega.
Clock it.
I just trailed her like a whipped little bitch.
LMAO
“When you dropped from the sky like that, I could have sworn I was looking at your mother,”
I LOVE YOU MELINDA
“We carry the souls of those we love closest in times of need,” I replied, the words feeling unlike my own, yet I supposed they were true all the same.
Def something her mom would say fuck me
The thundering boom of the roof cracking beneath my power loosened the knot in my chest, just enough to let me breathe. I closed my eyes as I felt the ghost of him beside me, the man I loved come to witness the destruction of this nightmare.
Stop cuz im sure he actually is there in the orb thing they have
Either my mind was splitting apart with my grief, or I was simply hallucinating from the smoke inhalation, but I could have sworn I felt the brush of his lips against my neck, his powerful body pressing to my back as his arms encircled me.
DAMN
Hours we knelt there. Countless hours where none of us could find a single word or summon the strength to rise from our vigil. My skin was numb from the press of the cold coffin I’d fallen apart over, and I was filled with a hopelessness which had taken root so deeply within me that I couldn’t even make myself care about anything anymore.
My heart physically hurts
“I hate him for it,” he choked out, and I lost it.
Fuck you seth
“There isn’t a depth I won’t fall to for this,” she warned me, and I nodded. “Then I’m ready to fall at your side.”
Love you caleb
How my brother and father would envy me now as they watched from the stars, this man with all the reins of fate in his grip.
Radcliff hates you bud
At least I had something to look forward to in the meantime, because when I returned to The Palace of Souls tonight, a Vega would be waiting for me, and it would be time for me to destroy one of the most powerful creatures in this world and half the threat against me.
Clock it, lionel finally admitted the twins power
Good morning, Sagittarius.
Tf is milton getting a chapter for
Marguerite Helebor had just risked everything to save us. So it looked like the Undercover A.S.S. had just bagged themselves a K.U.N.T.
Interesting. I still hate her.
Everything stilled, ice sliding the full length of my spine as she pressed her mouth to his.
Barf
Was it my fault Darius lay dead? Would he still be here if only I’d been strong enough to fight off the grip of the curse? I doubled forward, consumed by it all and crumbling completely. I’m so sorry, Tor.
Darcy dont you dare blame yourself
house of horrors
Shoutout icp again
That was before she’d gone all weird, sort of cold and distant. I didn’t really like her anymore; she gave me the creeps. I hated the way she looked at me vacantly, yet always wanted to be close to me and my family, like she wanted to say something interesting, but she didn’t have the brain power to manage it.
REST IN PEACE MY DEAR CATALINA
Fuck…Darius. I didn’t even get to say goodbye.
And this fact haunts me
“Is her magic subdued?” he muttered to Lavinia like the fucking coward he was. “You unFae piece of shit,” I spat, but Lionel ignored me. “Yes, my King. She cannot fight you. Come here, little beastie,” Lavinia purred, and her command had Darcy stepping out of the cage.
Say it with me: Lionel is a puss
“I do not need love,” he scoffed. “Catalina learned the cost of love when she offered it to some royalist scum. And the two of them paid the ultimate price when I ripped them from this world in blood and glory.”
I remember it differently sir
Whispers rushed through my head and the voice of the stars themselves trickled through my mind, their power rattling through the centre of me. “A gift, Libra, son of the hunter, for there must be a balance. A light to counter the dark. Your bond will be safeguarded with starlight from this day forward.”
Love when the stars don’t fucking suck
And it took me so fucking long to become a man capable of those things, in part because of you. But mostly because of him. This false king you claim to love. A man who stole everything away from me and is still keen to take more. If you can love a monster unconditionally then that makes you a monster too. So don’t you dare, don’t you fucking dare come to me on your knees, begging for forgiveness, because you won’t find it. You’re not a part of my family, and there’s nothing here for you in my heart but hate.”
Clock it
I only had three dry bagels with butter and jelly on top and two Poptarts. Not even the good kind of Poptarts. They were unbranded, Dante.
Not the unbranded poptarts
“Do you think it’s Gabriel? Maybe he got hit on the head and he’s lost all memory of who he was, and now he identifies as a bird, and we’ll find him in there with his wings out and his eyes all cuckoo as he tries to communicate to us in bird language.” “Your imagination scares me sometimes,” Dante murmured, then pressed his hand to the wall.
No same
“Dalle stelle,” Dante cursed as he moved closer and I gazed at what I’d unveiled in shock, my mind not able to decipher the leathery, orange-toned skin. It was definitely part of a body, some spandex torn open around it and the silver pipe clutched between what looked like-
Dont tell me its washer....
He wasn’t here. He wasn’t anywhere anymore.
Tory i promise you he is
Melinda Altair stayed silent throughout the exchange, but there was a glimmer in her dark blue eyes which hinted at amusement and made me feel about one percent less hostile towards her.
Shes the best councillor without a doubt
My heart began to gallop at those words, at the possibility they presented. “The king may fall,” I repeated hopefully. “The Palace of Souls has been locking Lionel out of countless rooms ever since he claimed it for his own. That sounds pretty fucking spiteful to me.”
So they hydra bellowing in the spiteful palace isnt hail beyond the veil?
