Shadow and Son Quotes

“I bind myself to you, Elyria Lightbreaker,” he said, voice steady, unwavering. “You already know that, for me, there was never a choice to be made. I wish to be with you always, and not because of your power or your beauty, though those things are both so infinitely vast, it bewilders the mind to even attempt comprehending them. I simply want you. You, who are fierce and kind and terrifying in equal measure. Loving you is as easy and natural as breathing. It is like coming home. Never have I felt more at peace than when we are together. How could I not want that for eternity?”

“I bind myself with you, to you, Cedric Thorne. I choose you,” Elyria said quietly. “Not because of fate or prophecy and what we were destined to become. I choose you because you are mine to choose. Before you, without you, I was drowning. You brought me back to life, and were I faced with eons in this world alone or a single day together, I would choose you every time.”

“In darkness and in daylight, in peace and in ruin. What you carry, I carry. What you become, we become.”
