“The truth is, you’re never actually stuck. You always have choices. They might not be easy choices, and they might come with risk, but they exist. The real reason you feel stuck isn’t because you can’t move forward—but because you’re afraid to. Maybe you’re afraid of failing. Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think if you take a risk and fall flat on your face. Maybe you’re afraid that even if you try, nothing will change. And so, instead of confronting that fear, you choose inaction. You convince yourself that you’re powerless, even when you’re not.”

“There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you. I would crawl and grovel. I would slaughter entire nations.” His golden eyes sear through my very soul as he holds my gaze. “So you had better fight with everything you have to make it through this. Because if you die, I will rip my own heart out and then claw my way out of Azaroth’s fiery realm and break the barriers between our afterlives so that I can follow you in death into Mabona’s evergreen garden. I will never let you go. You are mine. In this life and every life after it.”
― Marion Blackwood, Court of Lies and Deceit
