“Everything is extraordinary about you, Tress,” her mother said. “That’s why nothing in particular stands out.”

“Then you’re mad, girl. Did you see those people? Did you see that hammer they hit me with? Me. That thing was meant to drive nails bigger than you. Huge hammer.” He has a point. He’s taller even than Darrow and has more muscle than all my brothers ever did put together.

“Without you on this journey I would have fallen apart. You’re my brother, Cassius.”
He thinks I speak in hyperbole. “What’s next then, when this journey ends?” he asks.
“Cassius. I wasn’t just talking about this trip. By journey, I meant my life.” He looks over at me, touched and more than a bit surprised. “You’re my brother. We let ten years slip past. Ten years we should have fought side by side. I won’t make that mistake again. Whether you like it or not, you’re with me to the end.”
A very small “Oh,” is all he can manage. He thinks for a long moment. “I mean that’s a lot of commitment, Darrow.”
I knew the sarcasm was coming but I still almost burst a stitch laughing.
“Brothers,” he murmurs. “It does feel like it fits. We’ll try it on.”

“Are we all going to die?”
A cheer from the Daughters in the cavern rattles the cell.
“Yes,” Diomedes says.
“Probably,” I correct, annoyed at the man’s pessimism.
“You talked forever,” Diomedes mutters at me. “And looked weak.”
“You basically told them to slag off and shoot you,” I snap.
The Daughters cheer in the cavern again.
“Apparently you both were terrible.”
