A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted.

If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.”

“I'm the son of Jupiter, I'm a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed Titan Krios with my own hand. And now I'm going to destroy you Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves."
