Samkiel Quotes

“If he was the sun, by the old gods, she was the moon. Powerful, dark, and overbearing at times. She never left him, nor he her, as if they danced around each other for eternity.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“He is order. She is chaos. One cannot exist without the other, and if she were to lose that, war would be the least of our problems.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“You destroyed a world for me?"
She did not fully understand the lengths I would go for her. Destroying a world was not even a fraction of it. She thought me a hero, but a hero would defy others for the greater good. She was mine, and for her, I'd do the unthinkable. My strong, fierce, beautiful girl who thought she could take the world on all by herself. Only she had me now, and gods above and below help anyone who thought they could hurt or take her from me.
"I'd destroy several worlds if it meant keeping you safe. You have no idea the limits I'd go for you.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“He was my missing piece, and he was finally where he belonged, utterly and completely with me. I finally understood why mates went insane, why they raged, and why they broke when they lost it. If it felt like this, then absence was beyond pain, beyond agony. I thought I was a rage-filled, damned beast before, but if someone took this from me, I'd make the leader of evil look like a saint.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“The most powerful being in the entire realm is not the World Ender, but the one who protects the World Ender. The one who brought him back from the dead.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“Do you know what it feels like to have your soul cleaved in two? To have it ripped from you? That's what it felt like when you died in my arms. Pure, blinding, pain that I don't think this world or the next has a word for. So don't stand there scolding me like a fucking child. You are not my father. I killed him to get to you, and I still wasn't in time. I would burn the world for you, Samkiel, and I would happily hand over my soul so that you may live. I would do it all again if it meant you existed.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“Void.
Hollow.
Empty.
The way the oracle had laughed echoed in my head.
"Do you think you can touch death, girl, and it not take something from you?”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“By the old gods and new, I was no longer the scared girl who held back but a queen born of darkness, flame, and anger.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“Oblivion," Isaiah whispered. "How did you get that from Mera?"
My lips curled in disgust. "I did not get it. I am it. Oblivion is not something anyone can take from me.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“Samkiel lightly grabbed my arms.
"How could I not be completely and utterly in love with you?"
"You love me?" My heart melted.
"With everything I am and everything I will be."
My world stopped. It was fractured and remade with those words. They weren't just words but a promise, a declaration from two people who had been burned by the world. We had lost everything and never wished to share with another so deeply. He had offered me his heart, and in return, I'd given him the broken pieces of mine. It was more than love for us, and I knew now it always had been.”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen

“It was not sharp or piercing but an agony that melted your bones, scorched your flesh, and carved a hole so deep into you that you'd pray for a quick death to be with them. So no, it was not love. It was more necessary, like air in my lungs, blood in my veins. It wasn't just a nebulous emotion that came and went on a whim. This bond was a near physical thing, tangible and constant”
― Amber V. Nicole, The Dawn of the Cursed Queen
