Giselle Simlett QUOTES

1 " I’ve had enough of this destiny bullshit, OK? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

2 " Oh, right. I doubt this place has any delicious, fattening fast-food places, and maybe the Imperium doesn’t either. Yup, no McDonald’s, no Burger King, no Gino’s Pizza… Dear God, have I made a mistake coming here? I may be of small stature, but make no mistake: I am a glutton. On the other hand – possible franchise opportunity. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

3 " You’re overly hostile, and that’s not a good thing. Pulsar, especially, are very controlled in their emotions.’
‘So I’ve been told,’ I mutter.
‘They’re like water: elegant, neutral in all feeling. You, though, you’re like fire: blazing, belligerent, existing on all feelings – so unsuited to being a Pulsar.’
‘Maybe that’s why we clash so much, you and me, because we’re fire on fire. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

4 " Hearing those words, I instinctively turn to my new keeper, regretting it, because for only the third time in my entire existence, tears are streaming down my cheeks. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

5 " You’re not like any other keeper I’ve met before. I’ve seen you two together, and more than anything I see you treat him as a friend. You look at him as an equal. Him… he looks at you with hope, and even more than that. I know that whatever bond you share with each other, it’s something real and powerful. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

6 " Contrary to what you may think, when O’Sah told me about kytaen, that I’d be meeting one, I didn’t picture a pet or a lackey to follow me. I didn’t think of a prisoner. I… I pictured an ally, a friend, OK? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

7 " No. You see, the night works differently here than in the human realm,’ he continues. ‘Duwyn is a world of balance. Good and bad, light and dark – both must exist to keep the world in harmony.’
Oh God, he’s going to give me a Pocahontas speech. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

8 " You are not just any Chosen, my Lady," he says, and he meets my gaze with unflinching intensity. "The reason why your awakening of magic was so great, the reason why your eyes are red and no one else’s are… you are the heir to an ageless legacy, the heir of a slaughtered race. You are the last Pulsar, and we have been waiting for you for two hundred years. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

9 " I put my head on his shoulder
‘Wh-what are you doing?’ he yells, shoving me away from him with wide eyes.
‘I was giving you a hug!’ I say.
‘Y-you-!’
‘Pff. D’you really think I’d do that? I’m trying to keep warm, idiot. You’re like my overgrown Furby.’
‘I’m in a human form, not my kytaen!’
‘Tomayto, tomahto.’ I come close to him.
He pushes me away. ‘You shouldn’t be doing that!’
‘What’s the problem? You said you’re my tool, right? Well, I’m cold, tool of mine, so why don’t you calm the hell down and give me some of that sweet, sweet warmth?’
‘Don’t touch me!’
‘I’m starting to think you’re self-conscious in this form. You let me cuddle you in your other-‘
‘We did not cuddle!’ he shouts.
I manage a grin. ‘Would you prefer I use a different word? Snuggle, maybe? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

10 " She smiles. ‘I like black because it reminds me of night. You can only see all the stars when the sky’s black. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

11 " How to explain this? A shadow kytaen becomes, in a way, the shadow of their keeper, and when the keeper chooses it to, the shadow will detach itself like It did just then.’
‘What, like Peter Pan? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

12 " But maybe that’s why you’re the last one, maybe that’s why the stargods decided to bring you into our world, because you’re not indifferent and you’re not mindless. You’re someone who can’t be crushed or tainted. Or at least, you’re not someone who will be easily. Maybe in these times, it’s not water we need, but fire. Maybe that’s why we’re together. Fire on fire, as you said.’
I blink, confused. ‘Are you… wait, are you being… nice to me? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

13 " I-I know you think me a monster, and maybe I am, b-but please never doubt how much I believed in you. Everything I did was for you. Yes, I did it all for you! I would live and die for you. Over and over if I had to. I was never your enemy. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

14 " Oh, God.’
‘What?’ he says.
‘Ew.’
‘What’
‘Your leg. It looks dismembered. I swear there’s bone coming out of it. So gross.’
‘… Couldn’t you at lease have phrased that more delicately? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

15 " What are you? Who are you? I have never met a Chosen like you in my entire existence. You are everything that is free. You are freedom. And I... I'm the bird trapped in the cage, watching you fly away. But then, you look back at me, you always look back, and you reach through the bars and offer your hand to me. Though I am nothing, though I am just a heartless creature, you still offer me your hand. But I won't take it. I won't because... what will happen to us if I do?

It doesn't matter. None of it matters. Because you were kind to me, you made me laugh - that isn't something I will forget easily, and I will repay you. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

16 " OK. How to start? All right. I’m going to be very blunt, so here it goes,’ he says. ‘I can see the future.’

'Um. Yeah. Sure you can, Dad,’ I say. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

17 " You and I are not like normal humans. We’re known as the Chosen and possess, how should I say it? We possess abilities that would be thought impossible. Think of, I don’t know, think of shape-shifters, illusionists, seers – like me. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

18 " Wow. Another realm, huh? Your zealous delusions continue to impress me. Is this where we fly off to Olympus or Valhalla or Heaven or something? "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

19 " It’s probable that doctors would tell me indulging Dad’s delusions is not advisable, but what the hell. "

― Giselle Simlett , Girl of Myth and Legend (The Chosen Saga #1)

20 " Oh! I see it!’ I say. ‘I’m sitting, yes, I’m definitely sitting down on a chair with, let’s see, with my dad in front of me, who’s suddenly developed symptoms of Nutcase Syndrome, and… oh wait, that’s the here and now.’ I’m about to push his hands away from me. ‘I’m starting to think it’s you who needs to go to the hos- "
