Conquering Darkness Quotes

“The birds in the trees were singing
A song as old as the world,
Of love and green leaves and sunshine,
And winter folded and furled.

They sang that never was sadness
But it melted and passed away;
They sang that never was darkness
But in came the conquering day.”
― George MacDonald, Donal Grant

“My armor begins to shine, adding its own unique glimmer to our combined pink.
My mother’s magic.
The darkness doesn’t stand a chance.
The next time it launches forward, it doesn’t just retreat. It burns away in a flash of screaming smoke.
Our pink magic—my mom’s, Robin’s, mine— keeps growing, building like a tidal wave, filling the armory, traveling up the spiral staircase—until, in a flash, I feel it spill right through the walls of built-up bricks, through the entire school, destroying the shadows still tormenting the rooms and the vicious storm roaring through our land, turning everything that had been twisted and mangled back into what it once was.
Until only pink remains. This new shade of pink, one we created. Together.
With a final, pitiful hiss of darkness, the last of the shadows are vanquished.
Our magic rushes back, receding into our hearts. Mine glows fiercely.
And my armor… it’s changed color, too… from light pink to that bold magenta hue.”
