43 " Terms of endearment become terms of enslavement when used correctly. "
44 " Truth is raw but never ugly. "
45 " I thought we were past this, Apolli. Overprotective doesn’t look good on you. Go back to scowling at everything that moves. "
46 " Never apologize for being alive. "
47 " Show me the boy who rose from nothing to become boss of the Apolli. Show me the king who built an empire from thin air. Show me the most powerful mage in this Nyx-forsaken world. Show me the soul who struggles every fucking second for sanity but still manages to rise above everyone else. And show me how much that man loves me, if he loves me at all. "
48 " Demons don’t leave survivors. "
49 " We turn on each other instead of turning toward the sky. "
50 " You’re nothing without your power. If you weren’t born on the solstice, no one would want you. No one would need you. No one would give a shit about their helpless Apolli. "
51 " We can’t escape our upbringing. We can’t escape the echoes of blood. "
52 " I know some people call you a monster, but more people call you a god. "
53 " We all come home together. "
54 " The war is a series of divine feuds. The gods play puppets with people. There is always someone more powerful pulling the strings. "
55 " I relive her death before I remember her life. "
56 " We wrestle grief like it’s a monster with claws when it’s really a ghost in the night. "
57 " What use is power if it’s not absolute? "
58 " Hold a mirror to a mirror, a parent to a child, and you’ll see an endless reflection of violence. "
59 " I never wanted revenge, Apolli, but apparently, revenge is more important than I am. "
60 " You were my reason to live. Let me be yours. "
