Return of the Runebound Professor 7 Quotes

“Gold is nice, but it isn’t what I’m looking for right now. What I need is loyalty.” Ulya’s head tilted to the side, and she pulled her gaze away from the runes to meet Noah’s eyes. “That’s the kind of line that someone preparing for some real shit gives. What are you planning?”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 7

“Someone tipped them off. This is going to be a bloodbath. How fun. I wonder if I can get the battle named after me.”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 7

“I don’t care if it’s a crazed mage, a rune, or a fucking god. I will not allow anything to take my people away from me.”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 7

“I determined what caused demons to have their detrimental affixation with a single feeling or aspect of life, and I can repair it.” “So all the demons here…” “Not all fixed. Not yet—but they will be.” “And this makes them… docile?” “It makes them who they were meant to be. Are you docile?” Silvertide’s lips pulled up in a smile. “No. And there are few who are foolish enough to believe otherwise.”

“I can’t leave either of you alone for more than a minute.” “We do kind of need a supervisor, don’t we?” Noah asked. “Sometimes,” Lee said. “But that makes it harder to eat the squirrels.”

“There’s nothing wrong with you,” Noah said. “Everyone gets dealt a hand in life, and we all need help from time to time. I’m just giving you the tools that you should have had from the start.”

“Why? There was no answer. Perhaps not every action could be described by logic. Perhaps not every man was completely good or evil. When Noah had been a teacher on Earth, he would have said that he’d had a pretty good understanding of life. That some things were inherently good, and some were evil. That was that. But the more he witnessed, the harder it became to understand. Wizen had not been a good man. He had stolen people’s minds with his runes. Only the gods knew how many people he had killed, and he had done irreparable damage to countless families, not to mention countless other crimes. And, in saving Sticky, Wizen might have saved more than just a child. He might have saved the demons as a race. Even if there were others that were like her, she was the one that Noah had to work with. How are good and bad weighed? Can you right past wrongs through good deeds? Is there some sort of cosmic scale for good and bad? A small smile pulled across Noah’s lips. Eh. Fuck it. I don’t know, and it’s not my job to know. That’s a problem for the gods to deal with. Maybe I’ll find an answer one day, but right now, there’s only one thing I care about. Keeping the people I care about safe.”
