Dragon Mage Quotes

“The world makes of us what it will, and it doesn’t give a damn about what we want. If we’re lucky, we’ll look back from our deathbeds and find that our lives were lived for a purpose. But more often than not, all we’ll see is a long list of missed opportunities.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“Think about all that the wind is and all that it does. Where it goes. Where it comes from. The wind knows everything, for it travels everywhere, and it’s with us always. It endures. It feels. It speaks. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it rages. Give it a listen sometime. See what it tells you.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“As Calise entered, she couldn’t help staring at the walls as she crossed the room. She had never been inside the Dedicant Mother’s quarters before and had never seen the rich tapestries Luvana owned, which told the story of the world—not the history of it but, rather, the wonder.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“Aram was alive. Alive. For four years, he’d been kept alive and in agony. Everything they’d told him, everything Markus thought he knew, it was all just lies to keep him in line, to keep Aram suffering… He’d spent the last four years doing everything these bastards had told him, grieving for a friend he should have been saving. He’d let Aram suffer down there for four years. Four. Years. He stayed there, shaking, until the sun set behind the trees and the cool silence of twilight fell around him. Then he stood and stumbled back toward the dormitory, his mind too strangled for thought.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“He hadn’t known how attached he’d become to Aram until the end. But now, after all they’d been through together, he felt as though he were losing a little brother. A very brave little brother, who had saved his life by putting his own body between him and dragonfire.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“Lips trembling, Aram asked, “So it wasn’t my fault?” “Your fault?” His mother looked tormented by emotion. “How could you say such a thing? How could you ever think it was your fault?” “I thought maybe he couldn’t love me,” Aram said. “Because of the way I am.” His mother scooted back her chair and hurried around the table, coming to kneel at his side. “No. Oh, gods, no.” She took him into her arms, rocking him slowly as her tears mingled with his own. “Your father loved you more than anything in the world.” Hearing that made Aram cry harder. He clung to her with all the strength and conviction of a son’s love for his mother. It was several minutes before she let him go, but even then, it was much too soon. His mother drew back and kissed him on the cheek.”

“So, what is it you want to tell me? I promise I won’t laugh.” He hoped with every bit of his heart she didn’t. Closing his eyes, he took a deep, deep breath. “I want to tell you that … that…” He swallowed. “I really like your freckles.”
