“Stories must begin somewhere... ,” I said gently.
“Maybe they can begin with you?”

STOP IT

"We have already lost too much. We must never forget from where we came, lest we repeat history. Our stories must be passed to our sons and daughters, for with but one generation, history and truth are lost forever."

🤧

"Stories are power, she told me. Hold them close."

SPOILER AHEAD


"But all I heard was a different kind of knowing, one that even Morrighan couldn’t hear, a knowing that felt as sure and old as the earth itself. It whispered deep within my gut, I am yours, Morrighan, forever yours … and when the last star of the universe blinks silent, I will still be yours."

"Just as she had since the first time I saw her, she fascinated me, except that now I needed her like a raven needs the sky."

"A door had been opened that couldn’t be closed again, no matter how angry he made me. He was in my thoughts, my hair, my fingers, my eyes, his memory in places where no one else had been, in a hundred ways that made no sense."

"But even in my anger, I ached for him.
I ached for all our yesterdays."

“But the most important thing I noticed about him was that he was kind.” She paused, silently lingering on the word, her eyes growing misty. “Desperation ruled the world, and kindness was as rare as a clear blue sky."

Ugh, my heart

I" thought this was all my life would ever be, but then one day, I saw him—”

“Was he handsome?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Was he strong?”
“Very.”
“Was he—” “
Stop interrupting,” I told the children. “Let her finish!”

"One day, he gave me a handful of sky when he saw me gazing up at the clouds, just to see me smile. I put it in my pocket."

Are you kidding me with this? 🥲

“Why do you question everything I say?"

"Ama wasn’t sure exactly how many gods there were. Sometimes she said one sometimes three or four... but however many there were, I knew it was best not to test them. They controlled the stars of heaven, guided the winds of earth, and numbered our days here in the wilderness, and somewhere in Ama’s recollection, she knew calling someone a fool was something the gods frowned upon. Wishing them dead was another matter"

"Possibility became a winged creature that could take me anywhere I asked. I was wanton and reckless with my imagined wanderings."

WHAT IS THIS WRITING? Was not prepared

"Pata said she was sick with storm dust. Oni said she was curious, making the word sound like an illness. Ama said she was stolen, and the other miadres agreed."

Fr I had to read this line like 3 times
