Phillipa

“He missed her. Even though his heart was blackened and the rage inside him could have lit the entire camp on fire, he missed her with whatever good remained in him.”
― Israh Azizi, The General

“The whole damn world could burn, and I would still love you. When everything dissipates, you're the only thing I see. You've always been.”
― Israh Azizi, The General

“In the wake of terror,
A hero will rise,
A just and fairer
Ruler in everyone’s eyes.
A phoenix at his right,
Steel in his left,
He will bring the light,
That left them bereft.
He will end the pain,
He will right the wrong,
Avenger of the slain,
The phoenix beside him,
Their reign will be long,
The Golden Crown of power,
Before him, the evil will cower,
His secrets revealed,
The phoenix his shield,
Against whispers spread,
Vitality healed,
Though unrest is rampant,
The hero will end it,
The rider in the field,
His destiny sealed”
― Israh Azizi, The Cavalier

“There's always hope. We can give up, or we can hold on to it. We can grasp it until the stars burn out and the world collapses. Because even in the most desperate times, in the more uninhabitable places, it's there. It's there in the spots you least expect. We simply must be brave enough to look for it.”
― Israh Azizi, The General
