the ember QUOTES

1 " We are souls, eternal and perfect, captains of our mystic ships: gods and goddesses of our universe. We are beautiful, we pearls of grit. We, the ember of everything. Our uniqueness IS what makes us special, and the expression of it is our gift to the rest of us. In order to feel happy and fulfilled, we must honour our own personal brand of creativity... let it out into the world... BE who we came here to BE. "

“No, it’s just how it is.”
I think for a second. “If that’s true, then why did Ian try to turn me?”
He loses his composure. His face shifts into something worried, something almost human. “Did he kiss you?”
“Almost. Betty killed him first.”
He almost smiles. He pulls his hand through his hair. “Betty is fierce.”
“Is that why you stay away when she’s here?”
“Not even a pixie wants to tangle with a tiger.”
He blows on the ember in his hand. It turns to dust.
“You seem like you could handle almost anything,” I say.
“This?” He smirks. “Parlor tricks. "
