1 " I could stand alone because I knew I was not alone. "
― Emma Raveling , Breaker (Ondine Quartet, #4)
2 " The flower drifted, light and open, gliding a path through still water like the faint stirrings of a dream. "
3 " To be ready does not mean it will be easy. It doesn't mean it will be smooth. It means that even when it's difficult, you have what it takes to survive. "
4 " Love was as flawed and terrible and beautiful as we were. To be alive meant looking for it in ourselves and in others, an imperfection searching for an impossible perfection.Because in that journey was where truth resided.Love wasn’t about being held. It was about being freed. "
5 " Mortals search for what they are unable to give, what they lack within themselves. "
6 " Our dreams are fluid, just as we are. They change as we change. "
7 " Sometimes we think we're losing something when we're really finding something else. "
8 " Endings do not exist. There are only choices leading to other paths. "
9 " We all choose, Kendra. In the end, we can only hope we've chosen wisely. Regret is a horrible monster to flee from. "
10 " Perfect beauty could be so ugly. "
11 " Losing beauty was easy.Overlooking it, forgetting it, hardening yourself so much you could no longer be surprised or overwhelmed by it.I pulled back, taking in the strong line of his jaw, the sharp edge of cheekbone and the skin now warm from the rising sun. The trick was in holding on to it. Protecting it. "
12 " What drove me now was a force beyond elementals, beyond time.It was the force of a thousand years of history, the collected voices of generations of ondines, the desires of those who’d lived and died. It was the dreams of my mother, the regrets of my grandmother, the forgotten promise of every Irisavie back to the first. "
13 " He looked at me, dark, silky locks falling forward, naked and beautiful and so much more than anything I could’ve ever dreamed. "
14 " Not where. When.” The Elemental brand on my chest pulses, his rumbling voice tugging at the thread of old magic. “It is the start of another day. "
15 " These hands don't have magic." Daniel looked down at his palms. "But they can still do good, Kendra. Magic is extraordinary, a gift I will always marvel over. But it doesn't determine a person's worth, what they choose to believe in. Our dreams are fluid, just as we are. They change as we change. "
