“Most of us are lucky not to be Kings and Heroes, because we do not have to make the choices that Kings and Heroes have to make.”
― Cressida Cowell, How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel

“The Last Song of Grimbeard the Ghastly

I sailed so far to be a King but the time was never right
I lost my way on a stormy past, got wrecked in starless night
But let my heart be wrecked by hurricanes and my ship by storm weather
I know I am a Hero, and a Hero is… forever

In another time, another place, I could have been a King
But in my castle’s ruined towers the lonely seabirds sing
I burned up my Tomorrows, I cannot go back ever
But I am still a Hero, and a Hero is… forever”
― Cressida Cowell, How to Betray a Dragon's Hero

“Blood just draws more blood.”

“Me and the moon, the moon and me
When all the world gives up on me
When everyone thinks bad about me
I still have the moon, it`s me and the moon
It`s always the moon and me

So I have to keep running, keep running
Can`t stop in case I bite someone
Keep running, keep running
I thought I was good and then I looked down
My shaggy coat, my wolfy paws
I`m bad as a snake and meaner than grit
Don`t try to stop me `cause you will get bit
Let me keep running

I`m running for the moon, up to the moon
Where I can be good
When all the world gives up on me
When everyone thinks bad about me
I still have the moon, it`s me and the moon
Mostly it`s me and the moon”
― Cressida Cowell, Twice Magic
