“I have seen worlds grow and die, until their ashes don't even float on the wind of the highest mountains. I've loved the legends of men whose names are lost, loved people who aren't even memories. The trees you climb now will be the coal that heats the rooms in a thousand years that house the babies that grow to found the empires that will crumble to dust while I sit and watch. I've seen libraries burn, my boy, I've seen books crackle and spit and crack to black earth and shadows. I've waited and slept and ignored more history than you and your islanders will ever know happened. Don't tell me I can't have a moment of thought before the bite.”

― Simon P. Clark, Eren

“The thing – was he a bat? – was too huge to see. His wings merged into the shadows, his shape too fuzzy to make out. He grinned at me with small, sharp teeth and darkness whirled around him. He cocked his head and bowed it slightly. "Once upon a time," he said, "a boy dreamed, and all his wishes came true. Once upon a time, old things woke up, and magic – real magic – came back into the world.”
― Simon P. Clark, Eren
