" No one wants to go through life alone, fighting battles single-handedly their whole life. Not even the hardiest of heroes. That’s just a miserable existence. Everyone needs someone in their corner, right?...Even if you could,” I wrinkled my brow, “would you really want to? By all accounts, it gets lonely being your own hero. "
― J.M. Richards , Tall, Dark Streak of Lightning (Dark Lightning Trilogy, #1)
