“But everything we’ve gone through has only made us stronger. Closer and better. I know that there will be difficult times in our future, but I also know we will be ok because we’ll always have each other to help us through everything.”

“Perhaps the magic of their mating bond still lives on even with all of that violent magic inside her,” Ora said. “It won’t be easy, but maybe she can fight that darkness, maybe she can find a way back to herself through that connection…or harness it at least to help her mate.

“Grae was right. There were so many people in the shadows that stretched out over the horizon, people like me who wanted to claim their life, their destinies with two hands, just as Vellia had once told me to do. I couldn’t shrink myself down like I had in Taigos anymore. I needed to live bigger, louder, until my people believed they could, too. I knew being merem might never get easier, but I would get stronger until every single person in my court never felt the shame of trying to control themselves into ab box that never fit. I would make this court better than the one I inherited even if I had to die all over again trying.”
― A.K. Mulford, A Sky of Emerald Stars
