1 " Fear abounds. And where fear dwells, evil festers. "
― Cameron M. Hayden , All the Gods Below (The Arclight Saga #3)
2 " It was only then, when that terrible voice spoke, that Taro realized just how outmatched he was. Craetos wasn’t some simple dragon. He wasn’t a creature that could be beaten with swords or spears or arrows. Or even with magistry. Taro wasn’t standing in the presence of a dragon. He was standing in the presence of a god. "
3 " He deserves to die.” “I daresay he might. But like all men: on his own two feet, with a sword in his hand. "

There are likely futures, and there are less likely futures, but nothing is set. That’s what my dad says, anyway.” “And what do you say?” “Like I said, dragons don’t believe in fate.” “You look as human as anyone I’ve ever met. "

7 " That’s the world we live in,” Vexis said bitterly. “People die every day by the thousands; old age, war, disease. You think the universe gives a damn about our feelings on the matter?” Vexis held Nima’s hands to hers. “Protect those you care about with your own two hands. Fuck morality.” Nima looked up in disbelief. “Taro was right. You’re twisted.” “No, the world is twisted. And messy. And unfair. I’m just meeting it halfway. "
