Ravencaller Quotes

“Evelyn’s wings turned incorporeal, granting her body passage through the solid stone of the street below her. The void-monster’s arms pummeled where she’d been, bashing giant cracks and indents into the street. Evelyn righted herself as she fell, then shot a hand upward. Her clawed fingers hooked the stone of the street. Her descent halted, she pulled, and then shot out of the ground like a bullet. Whisper-Song’s handle rolled over her shoulder, back into her grip, and then swirled. Both scythes carved through the void-monster’s body, spilling shadow. Evelyn flapped her wings to carry her above, and then she ripped Whisper and Song apart so she might bury both their blades directly into the void-monster’s forehead.”

“The three marched in the center of the twelve soldiers, an angry, noisome crowd following on all sides. Their curses and shouts were beginning to lose meaning to Tommy, instead becoming a singular wave of sound that represented the dark, awful place many found themselves in since the black water washed away their normal world. He found himself blamed for crimes he could never have committed. He heard Cannac accused of deeds only the Goddesses could have performed. Most of all, he heard him and Malik called traitors, and Cannac a monster. It was the one consistency amid the hate.”

“Monsters collapsed with gaping holes in their chests. Others howled as their limbs were severed, or chunks of their sides suddenly disintegrated. Adria took their lives with but a thought, her mind mapping a path of slaughter and Sena’s soul following it with perfect obedience. Let these vicious monsters die for threatening the innocent. Let them run.”

“The avenria wielded a lone blade, as long as a traditional soldier’s sword, but the steel was curved up and down in waves. Something about its unnatural shape was off-putting to watch, and it made blocking and parrying a tense affair, for it never behaved quite as she expected. Best to kill the avenria quickly, she knew, but the strange raven-like man was more than an equal match to her skill.”

“Of the dozen avenria she’d painted in the picture, only two still lived, having survived the wars against humanity prior to the Sisters banishing them into centuries of sleep beneath the dirt. She was one, her oldest son the other.”

“A new order rises, and you shall be at the forefront of its creation! Equality among all creations. A shedding of morality built to cage your kind and justify the killing of ours. Are you willing to bleed for this, Ravencallers? Are you willing to break bones? To lift corpses to the sky?”
― David Dalglish, Ravencaller

“Only Belvua remained, and together Tesmarie and Tommy fled its blood-soaked streets.”

“Flee, humans. As much as it burns your pride, accept that tonight belongs to the dragon-sired.”
― David Dalglish, Ravencaller

“No, not ending, its cold voice spoke within his mind. He sensed within it a powerful promise, and an overwhelming sense of excitement. Awakening.”
― David Dalglish, Ravencaller

“Whatever he’d expected, it was a pale comparison to the sight of the crawling mountain. Even Soren and Albert looked shaken. Six enormous legs slammed into the earth and dragged craters open with their claws. Its belly cut a groove with its approach. The sound of its passage was like thunder.”
― David Dalglish, Ravencaller
