“No matter how dutiful one tried to feel, it was impossible to be sad at leaving this behind, not when the blood ran hot and rich in the veins, and when out in the world there were all the untried beckoning enchantments : dancing, sensuous music, merriment - and love.”
― Anya Seton, Katherine

“Your magic is one with the storm. You can answer the call of a storm and manipulate it, or conjure one from nothing yourself.’ That made sense. Even with her treated fate stone muting her powers, she felt the energy of the storm like it was an irremovable part of her, but so far, she had always been at its mercy, not the other way around. ‘How do we control it?’ she said quietly. ‘You find your centre,’ Audra told her. ‘You find that pocket of calm within and sink into yourself – seek the whisper of the wind, the taste of rain in the air, the pulse beyond the clouds. In order to be the master of storms, you must first become the master of yourself.”
― Helen Scheuerer, Vows & Ruins
