Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3) QUOTES

1 " You wished for time,” Aldrik explained. “I heard each utterance when you beseeched time to stop, for mornings not to come. I want you to know I shared your every sentiment. I wanted to give you the promise of my minutes, my hours, my days.” His long fingers curled around hers, around the watch. “My future is yours, Vhalla Yarl. "

2 " She had thought she knew what war was, but as their empty eyes and too-thin bodies etched themselves onto her soul, Vhalla realized she knew nothing at all. They were all boys and girls playing at war, writing their own songs the bards would sing. But the bards never sang about this. Suddenly the faces of the people she had killed came back to her. We are monsters. "

3 " I told you this would never be easy, I warned you. I begged you to spare my heart if you weren’t ready for this fight. "

5 " You show up as if you materialize from the wind itself, to save the life of the crown prince whom you jumped off the side of the Pass in an attempt to save. You're unassuming, you're filthy, and you're soaked in what I can only presume to be the blood of our enemies." A grin slowly spread across Jax's face, like that of a rabid beast. "Who said anything about being disappointed? "

6 " When was the last time you were in camp? Have you not seen more wings painted than rays of the Solaris sun?" Jax's eyes fell on her watch, and Vhalla instinctually grabbed it. "You were not born to be their leader, you were chosen. And that has far greater weight. "

7 " Aldrik," she said stubbornly, "I survived the Night of Fire and Wind, an assassination attempt, a fall from the Pass, a run alone through the North." Vhalla took a step away and pulled his hands from her shoulders. "I've killed more people than I have fingers. I'm not the girl you found in the library, and I can protect myself. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

8 " They were an equal match with his heartbeat in the back of her mind. His combat prowess flowed through her veins, coupled with the skill Vhalla had gained from months of her own training. They both missed the slack-jaw amazement from the other soldiers. That the Windwalker danced toe-to-toe with one of the greatest sorcerers in the world, that she could best Aldrik as often as he bested her, that the prince seemed to find amusement—even joy—and not frustration at that fact. "

9 " It doesn't matter." Aldrik shook his head. "I will fight to keep you until the end of my days. "

10 " The majors are enamored with you. They admire your strong and noble nature, your grace, your poise, your stunning intelligence and eloquence, and—after tonight—your inspiring loyalty." Aldrik sat next to her. "My father excused himself over dinner, likely to hide his face, and the moment they were free of his presence, all they spoke about was you. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

11 " I was raised in a world where I had thousands of friends, each one waiting for me on a shelf every day. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

12 " No matter how far we go, the Tower takes care of its own. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

13 " She could make her office my rose garden, forever, if she so chose. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

14 " People didn’t change when asked by others, no matter how important the asker was. True change had to come entirely from within. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

15 " You two move well together,” Baldair said ineloquently. “Must have great sex,” Jax snickered from Aldrik’s right. “Jax!” Baldair groaned. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

16 " She hadn’t studied and trained to be the woman she had become; it had been carved into her by the world’s demands. Vhalla "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

17 " The Epic?” Raylynn raised her eyebrows. “You actually read through it?” “Of course.” Vhalla couldn’t fathom who wouldn’t finish a book once they’d started. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

18 " You’re smart and capable and strong and beautiful, and I will not let you forget those things now. I will not let them be diminished. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

19 " Vhalla reached out and grabbed the prince’s bandaged hand, clinging to it. His right hand, the hand that had written her letters, the hand that had tangled itself into her hair as she slept, the hand that held her face when he kissed her; it was a wonderful hand of endless possibilities that now rested completely limp in her grasp. "

― Elise Kova , Earth's End (Air Awakens, #3)

20 " Where is she? Is she all right? Baldair, you swore to me you would protect her!” Aldrik’s words sounded half mad with worry. "
