A Sea of Fate and Starfire Quotes

“Maybe that’s why we fall in love, whether human or Naiad or a flame plucked from the stars. Not because love makes us strong. Because it allows us to be soft. I once might have greeted Death like a challenge, an opponent to be conquered. But I’d run with Death across the sky, and I knew he was a friend. Life was made of finite single seconds strung together, each precious from the first to the last. And if these were my last, I’d waste them in his arms, unafraid to fall apart in the safety of his body.”
