Purple Days Quotes

“They walked into the hall of the Yellow Emperor in a hush of
whispering voices, a multitude of different kinds of men turning to
see them. The hall seemed to have more in common with a
reception at a Braavosi evening than a royal court hearing in
Westeros; the guests of the Yellow Emperor formed groups around
the ground floor, while the second held a massive throne filled with
topaz from which a shadowed figure watched them all. He wore a
topaz encrusted tunic which fell from his shoulders in wide pieces of
fabric, all of them intermingling as they seemed to fuse into a vest by
his chest. His head was almost completely hidden by a hood though,
the angle of lighting around the place making it hard for Joffrey to
define any features at a distance.”

“Don't tell me to calm down uncle! You can't understand how precious life is if you haven't seen it frozen and perverted with your own eyes! Each a small flame barely clinging to the face of the earth while we spend our days scheming-”

“WE HAVE NOT DETECTED SIGNS OF OTHER
INTELLIGENT ORGANISMS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE
OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SENTIENT LIFE SEEMS TO BE AN ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA
UNIQUE TO THIS PLANET FOR REASONS UNKNOWN. SUCH
REASONS ARE LIKELY TO END OVER A LONG ENOUGH
TIMESPAN IF THE CYCLE IS NOT STOPPED. STOP THE LONG
NIGHT'
COMMUNICATIONS END.' It ended abruptly, thought there was
something more, a few words here and there, smaller than the rest,
chiseled messily and irregularly as they tried to squeeze themselves
under the last line of the last paragraph.
'DO NOT LET - THE LIGHT OF - CONSCIOUSNESS – BE
EXTINGUISHED. – FAREWELL.”

“Knights of the Seven Kingdoms!" Joffrey bellowed, and the
thousands bellowed back. He could see Samwell and
Robar leading the Silver Knights, riding out to form up around him.
He saw Lord Tarly and his lances leading the Reach, Tywin and the
lords of the West taking up his right. He saw Renly in his armor of
summer carrying the stag of the Stormlands, Edmure Tully and his
fishbones chanting out defiance. In the way of legends, the lords of
Westeros had gathered for one final charge. Even though it might
mean the death of them all, Joffrey could see that they were glad for
it. An ending fit for a song—one last charge for peace.”

“Knights of the Seven Kingdoms!” Joffrey bellowed, and the thousands bellowed back.

An ending fit for a song, he thought, one last charge for peace.”

“DO NOT LET THE LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS BE EXTINGUISHED. FAREWELL.”

Joffrey blinked slowly as he read the last words of the Deep Ones, alien beings whose mindset he didn’t and would likely never comprehend…

“A last chance for life…” he whispered, reading their last will and testament, the last words from a civilization already long lost to time.”
