“The chief, embodying the essence of gracious hospitality, invited them to be seated.”
Bradley James, Lunar
“Does knowing this change how you feel about me?” she asked, her voice wavering with uncertainty. Elliot’s gaze met hers, and a flare of intensity burned within his green eyes. “Not even for a moment,” he replied firmly. He held a deep-seated anger at the Telvanni for making Ava doubt her worth. He pulled her close, their lips meeting in a tender, affirming kiss. “If anything,” he said, “it strengthens my love for you,” he whispered, his words a balm to the wounds inflicted by her past.”

“You don’t have to continue if it’s too hard.” Ava shook her head determinedly, a tear spilling down her cheek. “No, it’s important. You need to know, and I need to say it,” she said, her voice quivering. She hastily wiped the tear away. “I only have fragments of memories after that. I woke up in the forest. My clothes were torn, and I felt bruised and sore.” More tears followed, and Elliot gently wiped them away, his expression mirroring the anguish of her story. In the silence that followed, a heavy air of unspoken words filled the shelter. Her story explained the contempt she held for the Telvanni and the depth of her concern for Bella, especially in light of Bella’s recent experience. Elliot grappled with a tempest of emotions—anger at the Telvanni, sorrow for Ava, and a burning desire for revenge. Recognizing that Ava needed his reassurance and not his anger, he gently enveloped her in a comforting embrace, whispering words of solace. “I’m so sorry, Ava,” he said softly. “I promise you, we will hold them accountable for their actions.”

“My grandfather told me one day that dreams were just my mind trying to make sense of all the things I’d seen or heard. But the important thing to remember is that they’re not real. They can be influenced by what happened to us before, but they have no control over what will happen to us next.”

“If you were in my position, and believed as I do, what would you do?” Elliot asked. Leaning forward, the chief responded thoughtfully. “I’d seek more answers, making sure not to endanger others in the process.”

“The forest air, momentarily filled with the gods’ synthetic laughter, seemed to echo their cruel amusement.”
Bradley James, Lunar
“Elliot’s description of climbing axes, which could be attached securely to their wrists, sparked particular interest.”
Bradley James, Lunar
“can only offer you my word that I am not one of these gods and that everything I’ve told you is true,” Elliot said earnestly. “But I understand your duty to protect your people, and that my mere word may not suffice, especially since I have yet to earn your trust.” “And therein lies our predicament,” the chief concurred.”

“Though my son’s anger is misplaced, his words bear truth,”
Bradley James, Lunar
“I had a son, but I lost him and his mother in an accident while I was away, serving as a soldier,” he revealed, his voice laden with deep, lingering grief. “I’m so sorry, Elliot,” Ava said softly, reaching out to gently take his hand in hers. “You’ve endured so much loss in your life. More than anyone should have to bear.”
Bradley James, Lunar
“Your eyes can see more than what you’re directly looking at, darling,” Ava explained. “You just need to open your mind to perceive everything your eyes capture.”
Bradley James, Lunar
“We’re all responsible for our actions in life, no matter how unfair they may seem,” she took the bow from Bella’s hand. “If we want to learn, we must first accept we might be wrong; otherwise, we can never be taught. Do you understand?”
Bradley James, Lunar
“His grandfather’s words echoed in his mind: “If it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, stay down.” The advice was clear—while black bears might be intimidated, brown bears were a different matter entirely. They were known as grizzlies for a reason, and their reputation for ferocity was well deserved.”
Bradley James, Lunar
