CLASH

“There’s only one person who would ever go to this much trouble for you. I’m your mother.”
― Briar Boleyn, On Wings of Blood

“You told me once that the world would be simpler if people were all one thing. But we will never live in a world that easy. Your family is a part of you. Of course you will love them. Of course you will miss them. And… of course you will want to make a better world than they did. You will build upon what they gave you. You will draw from their strengths and confront their mistakes. You will make something better”
― Carissa Broadbent, Children of Fallen Gods

“Death was like a lost lover. We circled each other. I craved more with every brush of its touch. All I wanted was for it to take me to its bed and never let me leave.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Mother of Death & Dawn

“Between the dead patient, the drunk men, and the blood sun, my day was not off to an auspicious start.”
― Penn Cole, Spark of the Everflame
