She Walks In Shadow Quotes

“It was like he was a broken mirror, and everything about him was a shard. His voice, his laughter, the barest glimpse of him when she failed to look away fast enough, all of it razor sharp. All of it slicing easily through barriers she'd spent most of a lifetime building.”

“She hadn't been the only one given a title. She had been Akul Kurf, the Ice Bitch.

Dwalin had been Vadok.

Death.

Bilba had always been mildly insulted by that. He got to be Death, and she got to be the hobbit with the bad attitude.”

“She was drowning, and he'd be damned if she expected him to stand by and watch.”

“Bilba opened her eyes, and Fili was standing directly in front of her.

The last thread broke.

She'd spent years building walls around the hollow left by Ravenhill. There had always been cracks, even breaches over the years, but she'd endured, fortified them again and continued on.

It wasn't until she'd opened her eyes again in Bag End that the walls had turned brittle, and it wasn't until she'd laid eyes on him once more that they'd started to fall.

And it wasn't until that very moment, when his eyes sliced into her soul, that the final wall fell completely.

And, just like that, the wound was open and the truth she'd tried so hard to ignore was pouring. It had always been there, seeping out through cracks, bleeding into her veins, poisoning her sleep and freezing her days.

The truth, that the hollow inside her wasn't so hollow after all.

It was full, always had been full, always would be full, and with one thing and one thing only.

The knowledge of how deeply and irrevocably in love she was with this son of Durin. As much as that first day. As much as the last. Every breath, every beat of her heart cried out with the depth of her love for someone lost to her forever. All that love falling forever into emptiness, a void deeper than the one opened in her soul the moment she'd watched him die.”

“All she could see was that she'd already had her first failure.

A second chance, according to her aunt.

She was wrong.

There were no second chances, not for her. Not after the reason it had all gone wrong the first time was because of her. Because she was too much of a coward to act.

She was here because of the cursed ring. Her curse.

This was no second chance.

It was a punishment.”

“Their hopes, dreams and fears had been bound up in the figure of Thorin Oakenshield.

Bound with him, and died with him, and as Thorin had gone so had they all.

She rode now with a company of ghosts.

Fourteen souls had marched to Ravenhill, and eleven husks had left it.”
