1 " Humans are passionate in all they do, even should they wish to do nothing. They battle, they rage, they kill, they love, they are capable of mercy in the most impossible of circumstances, and they are monstrous. "
― Pippa DaCosta , Wings of Hope (The Veil, #0.5)
2 " Fire is ever the optimist. "
3 " I considered how the princes were masters of manipulation and wondered if Ahkeel knew exactly how this would end and if I’d survive his game. "
4 " One day you will have vengeance, little half-blood. You will stand upon a wasteland littered with your dead kin and you will be free. "
5 " You are not yet grown. But you, little half-blood, will be magnificent. "
6 " I dragged my beaten body onto my feet, spat blood into the mangled dirt, and lifted my head to Mammon. “Do not let my human half beguile you.” I echoed his words, almost to the letter. "
7 " And then, when I understood this world, I would be my own person. Not even the Prince of Greed could stop me. As for my demon, she slumbered in my mind and warmed my soul. She was the whisper in my ear, the voice of desire and hunger. I would not forget who or what I was. Half-human, half-demon, damaged, but oh so wonderfully free. "
8 " We are not so different, and yet we are worlds apart." Ahkeel/Akil, The Veil Series prequel. "
