Verragos Tapestry Quotes

“Children, Hakhos! Women and children. My own Epheema, curse you! She was one of your people. She was your friend. Epheema loved you, Hakhos, loved you as her own brother…” Lonaris’ strength was failing, his vision blurring. “And you killed her, for what? Because she chose to live with one of the Volami?”
“I did not kill her!” Hakhos said, pointing his blade down at Lonaris. “You did that. You condemned her the day you thralled her to you and took her under your roof.”
Lonaris barked a wry laugh, bloody spittle frothing at his lips. “You disgust me, Hakhos. Well, congratulations, child murderer. I hope you rest easy tonight, remembering how easy it was to strike down so many supposed gods.”
“Gods?” Hakhos shook his head. “No. Demons is what the Volami are, but we struck you down first. Goodbye, Lonaris, old friend.”
