41 " The Arkûl don’t come down this road, Human. No one does. There’s no one to hear you scream. No one except for me.” - Rachel Vaveran "

― S.G. Night , Attrition: the First Act of Penance (Three Acts of Penance, #1)

42 " 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. "

43 " Rachel gestured toward the city beyond the alley. “The people out there? Humans who spend every day under the Demons’ heels? They’ve given their share. They’ve made up for the blood of my kin with their sweat and their agony. Their debt is paid.
“But you,” she pointed a damning finger down at him. “You have given nothing. You’ve shed no blood, and you’ve suffered no pain. Your debt is unpaid, Hammon. I am here for compensation. "

44 " P-please…I beg you, don’t do this…you c-can’t, you can’t do this to me…”
“Yes, I can. "

45 " I am owed a debt of Human blood. Your share is overdue. God made me your creditor, Hammon. You are mine to do with as I please. Tonight, I am judge. I am jury. I am executioner.” - Rachel Vaveran "

50 " 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. "

51 " If he’d judged Felsted correctly, he was the kind of man who checked all the locks in his house every night. Twice. Probably for fun. "

52 " Azrael’s hand is on your shoulder, Human. I am here for your soul." - Racath Thanjel "

53 " The truth is in your actions. The guilt is in your eyes. You have lived in sin for far too long. Tonight, I come in judgment.” - Racath Thanjel "

54 " 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. "

55 " You had your chance. But that’s over now. No more antidotes. No more schedules. No more sickly-sweet order. No more cheating death. Your time has come, Felsted, and I am your angel. Follow me into the dark.” - Racath Thanjel "

56 " 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. "

57 " Racath’s eyebrows drew together. “Terms?”
“Yes, terms,” Briz’nar replied, a forked tongue dancing behind its sharkish teeth. “Conditions for the riots to cease. The rabble must have some sort of price if they are sending one of your kind to do the bargaining. What is it, then? Coin? Food? Perhaps a much needed bath?” Some of the Arkûl chuckled.
Racath rolled his eyes. “I’m not here to negotiate with anyone!” he answered incredulously. “The only terms I have are that you die, this Bridge is destroyed, and the Dominion never even thinks about looking at the Burrows ever again. "

58 " I do not believe that the Duke will find those terms acceptable. Might I convince you to reconsider—”
“Dear God, go faul yourself, you self-important gecko! "
