Quotes by James Osiris Baldwin (?)

“And you, heretic! Where is she? Where is the queen?” “Have you checked your ass? I heard it's pretty roomy in there.” I spat blood, moving to hands and knees. I still had the Spear of Nine Spheres wrapped in one tight-knuckled fist, for all the good it was doing me. “You are in no position to sling insults.” The masked Mata Argis Agent had a cold voice, dark with anger. “Where is she!? What have you done to her?!” “The same thing I do to your mom every night.”
― James Osiris Baldwin, Trial by Fire

“I was going be to flying around like some wacked-out Chinese martial arts movie hero by endgame, which was 200% okay with me.”
