S.G. Night QUOTES

41 " She was always like that — it’s what I remember most about her. There was always something…wrong with Rachel. She was always permeated with some terrible resentment, like a cloak she wore around herself. In a way, it was fascinating. Beautiful…but terrifying. Make no mistake: I have seen greater power than hers, before and since. But hers…hers was different. And I feel no shame in admitting that I was always afraid of Rachel Vaveran.

43 " All the blood drained from Hammon’s face. “No…”
“Yes.”
“But…that’s not possible….” Hammon’s voice was weak, and he sounded like he was talking more to himself than to Rachel. “It can’t be…I thought they were all—”
“Dead?” Rachel’s eyes flashed with ire so cold it could have frozen the ocean. “Do I look dead to you? "

45 " I owe nothing to anyone, I swear it! Who hired you? I can pay, just tell me who hired—”
“God hired me!” Rachel’s rebuke was like the crack of a toxic whip. Like poisoned thunder. “Humanity owes my kind a debt of flesh for every drop of blood we shed for you. For every one of us that died to save you. "

53 " Genshwin?” Jax called after him. “A moment, if you please?”
Racath looked back over his shoulder at the Duke.
“I’d like your name, if you’d be so kind.”
Beneath his hood, Racath smirked, then continued toward the tunnel. “I told you,” he called over his shoulder. “My name is Death. "

57 " No.” The word shattered Felsted’s question like an ugly, stained-glass window. “I chose poison because you deserved it. Because I wanted to watch you wriggle while the fear turns your brain to paste. That fear of death that drove you to the Demons door? I wanted to watch it betray you and eat you from the inside you. This is what comes of people like you, Felsted. I will not abide the folly of your peers’ betrayal. By every drop of blood on my hands, I swear that every single one of you who turned to the Dominion — for power, money, fear, I don’t care — will wither, break, and die. Azrael is coming for you and your friends, Felsted. The angel of death is here. "

59 " I am here on behalf of the people of the west. I speak for the Burrows.”
“Ohh,” the Demon said, mockery dripping from the word. It made an exaggerated bow, its movements smooth as flowing magma. “An emissary! How quaint. I would expect introductions are in order, then. I am called Briz’nar, Greater Demon, Hand to the Duke of Milonok, and Commander of the Guard.”
“That’s delightful,” Racath scowled. “You can call me Azrael. "
