Halayda Quotes

That doesn’t happen to a king very often.”

“Why does a horse need to steal a horse?” Taylan held the reins of the bay stallion while Zad swung into the saddle of his new acquisition—a dapple gray that threatened to bite anyone who came within easy reach.

“Why would I run the whole way when someone else can do the work?” Zad settled onto the gray stallion’s back and smacked the horse’s nose as it nipped at his leg.

“It looks like you two will get along perfectly.”

“Shut up and start destroying things so we can get out of here.” Zad urged the scowling horse into the cover of the trees.”

“I vow with all my heart to love you with the constancy of the sun, to protect you as the thorn protects the rose, to sustain you as a river in the wilderness, to stand beside you when all others desert. This is my promise to you, my halayda, until the world fades to nothing.”

“We march through snow and we march through rain
With naught to lose and naught to gain
Sun and moon and sun again
One day’s dawn is another day’s end  

We come by day and we go by night
We fall and rise again to fight
Sword and spear and bow the same
One man’s life is another man’s game  

They fell like lightning and they raged like fire
They lit the blaze on the funeral pyre
Picked and chose the paths they trod
One man’s will is another man’s blood  

We live forever and we die today
We’ve seen the end of eternity
Time and fate outwit us all
One man’s rise is another man’s fall”
― Sarah Delena White, Halayda
