    “Stars shone for both scholars and paupers, pharmakides and priestesses, gods and mortals. They shone, but they never went backwards. They never vanished. Sometimes they’d flicker, like a candle, but they’d never be blown out completely.

    Not until that fateful morning when Medousa bubbled up from the sea.”
    ― Alice Abyss, Pharmakides

    “She looked up at Hekate with blossoming purple eyes, long lashes, and a rosy luster radiating from her skin. Her name was Nephele. She had fifty sisters who lived in the sea. She was the only one who took to the sky. Though she lived in the sky, she kept her fishtail. Cirrus wisps of hair floated from her head, as if she were still underwater.”

    “Imagine your worst day, multiply it by a hundred, and pray to your God
    that you never experience what some of the people in this war zone go
    through, everyday, without any hope of it getting better. Ever. Compared
    to these people, every day, no matter how bad, is the best day ever. I
    know nothing about pain, nothing about suffering and hopefully never will.”
