“There he stood — Bram St Silas, Bramwell Avon, waist-deep in vows, in vengeance, born to privilege, marked by brutality. There he stood, the Saint of Silence, triumphant in the dark.”

“You should be wary of how you are looking at me.”
“How am I looking at you?”
“Like you no longer loathe me.”

🤭🤭🤭

“Habibti.
Hayati.
Roohi.”

“Why do you cry?”

“Roohi, roohi, roohi. He stitched her soul anew.”

“Because my heart cannot contain it.”

🥹😭🥺

“Knowing you can lose something is what makes it more precious.”

“Love was a terrible thing. It tore hearts apart with talons and gnashing teeth and left nothing behind.”

“We hunted the flame on Sharr, set free the stars across the skies, but it was only ever the dawn of our zumra. Now we make sure that light doesn’t go out. Forever. Together.”🥺

“Do you know how it feels to stand beside others forged of the same flesh and bone and still be treated as inferior? As someone undeserving?

Of course she did. Every girl was born to that unfortunate truth.”

‼️

“Must an entire creed suffer for the sins of a few? Must the body be destroyed for the failings of an organ?”

“We learned power from the women of old. A dominion so great it forged a kingdom.
We learned vengeance from the boy of two bloods. A pain so deep it bred darkness and malice.
We learned compassion from a girl. A sentiment so profound it altered our spirit.”

“He took from me my life, and now I will take from him tenfold.”🔥🔥🔥

“He said…he thinks of you when the moon fills the sky.” 🥺🫂

“You love her.”
No, he did not love her. The word for what he felt for Zafira bint Iskandar did not yet exist.

😭😭😭😭😭😭

“If I hurt her, I will bring every weapon at my disposal and lay them at your feet for you to do to me what you will. If I hurt her, I will no sooner carve out my own heart than dare draw breath again.”

“We’re a zumra. We hunted the flame together, found the light in the darkness, but we were far from done, laa? Now we unleash it. We free the stars, shatter the darkness holding us captive, and return the world to the splendor it once was.”

“They say the soul cannot rest until it finds its match. Then it ignites.”

“Do you understand, brother? You’ll have me. No matter how thick the night, I will always be there to light your way.” 🥹🥹🥹

“Did the stars fall from the sky to adorn you in their luster? No—liquid silver. You are the well that forged every blade in the world.”

Oh Altair🥺🥺🥺🥺

“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul.

Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough.
Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the other’s life.
Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibers of an existence.”

“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul.”

“He was watching her in that odd way of his, as if she would be lost among the stars if he looked away. It was reverent, almost. Wishful. She loosed a tight breath and averted her gaze. In the end, when this journey and mission was done, none of it would matter, would it?
He was her future king, and she his subject.”

“He was never as… resilient as you. You would fight your way out of the grave for us. You would kill for us. He was content enough with the chance to die for the ones he loved.”

“Then Altair al-Badawi lifted his hands to the skies, a crooked grin upon his face, and Sharr exploded with light.”

I freaking love this dude

“We’re so quick to dismiss the sentiment as weak, but hearts beat for love, don’t they? A life without purpose may be no life, but a life without love is nothing but an existence.”
