“You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night's fever dream that I have finally woken up from. I say you are the smoke-wisp memory of a flame, thawing ice suffering under an early spring sun, a chalk ledger of depts being wiped clean. I say you do not have a name.”

“From the desperation of golden crowns and born of mortal flesh,
a great primal power rises as the heir to the lands and seas, to the skies and all the realms.
A shadow in the ember, a light in the flame, to become a fire in the flesh.
When the stars fall from the night, the great mountains crumble into the seas, and old bones raise their swords beside the gods,
the false one will be stripped from glory until two born of the same misdeeds, born of the same great and Primal power in the mortal realm.
A first daughter, with blood full of fire, fated for the once-promised King.
And the second daughter, with blood full of ash and ice, the other half of the future King.
Together, they will remake the realms as they usher in the end.
‘And so it will begin with the last Chosen blood spilled,
the great conspirator birthed from the flesh and fire of the Primals will awaken as the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction to the lands gifted by the gods.
Beware, for the end will come from the west to destroy the east and lay waste to all which lies between.”

“I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us—because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin. I felt Cassian’s spirit beside me in that moment, and could have sworn I heard him say, ‘If you don’t marry her, you stupid prick, I will.”
