Evensong Quotes

“We all feel the need to prove ourselves. Just because you lost doesn't mean you'd decide differently next time.”
― Krista Walsh, Evensong

“Promise to watch the House. Dragon not dead, would die unsatisfied. Even in agony with burns, goes out to try his luck one more time and dies in second fight? Injuries how serious? He switched from his notes to the Internet browser, entered ‘burn injuries’ in the search engine and forty-five minutes later, had seen enough images to give him a very detailed idea of Jayden’s wounds. And earn himself a queasy stomach.”

“For six months his fans had been after him to start the next Feldall novel and he’d kept putting it off, stuck on a stupid plot point and chomping at the bit to start a new project with new characters.”

“Lady Jasmine of Feldall cursed as her black Friesian, Nalen, reared, and she struggled to stay in her seat. Tendrils of dark brown hair fluttered in her face and she puffed out a breath to clear her vision. This dragon had plagued their lands for months, terrorizing the skies as well as their cattle—what little remained of the herds after a three month drought.”

“The impact never came. At the last second, instead of seeing the water charging towards him, Jeff watched, confused, as it swept up and embraced him. Caught in the force of the wave, it dragged him under, deeper into the river until the surface was farther than the floor. The days of rain had quickened the current, and if the water looked choppy from a hundred metres up, it was nothing to the activity happening below.”

“Dragon’s breath billowed across the peaks of Feldall Forest, waves of green flame bursting into tongues of orange and red as it caught the trees in its path. The creature swooped, serrated wings chopping down the blazing tree-tops to spread the flames along the forest floor. Its scream shook the earth and set the horses to panic, but the three riders held their position along the edge of the tree line. Lady Jasmine of Feldall cursed as her black Friesen, Nalen, reared, and she struggled to stay in her seat. Tendrils of dark brown hair fluttered in her face and she puffed out a breath to clear her vision. This dragon had plagued their lands for months, terrorizing the skies as well as their cattle—what little remained of the herds after a three month drought. Whatever fate had brought the beast out to play while she, Jayden, and Corey were cleaning up the damage he’d done, this was the closest they’d come to ridding themselves of at least one plight. If only Corey would take the shot.”
