"Let the world know,” Aelin said, voice breaking, "that you are a male of honor. That you stood by your son, and this kingdom, and helped to save it." She kissed the cold brow. "You are blood-sworn to me. And you shall be buried here as such." She pulled away, stroking his check once.

"Thank you."

It was all there was left to say.

rowan finding him… my god so sad

i mean why… WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY i’ve cried like 3 times already

Dismiss him. Throw him into some hell-world. That's what he should do.

And yet Dorian knew for whom he had really brought down Morath. For whom he'd buried that room of collars, the hateful tomb around them.

"I'm sorry," his father said again.

He did not need Damaris to tell him the words were true.



i am so thankful i don’t have daddy issues otherwise id sob rn

"I want to hate you," Dorian said, his voice breaking.
"I know," his father said.
"You destroyed everything." He couldn't stop his tears. Aelin's hand only tightened in his.
"I am sorry," his father breathed. "I am sorry for all of it, Dorian." And even the way his father said his name—he had never heard him
speak it like that.

"My boy," his father whispered again. And it was love— love and pride and sorrow that shone in his face.
His father who had been possessed as he had, who had tried to save them in his own way and failed. His father, who had everything taken from him, but had never bowed to Erawan-not entirely.

“Nameless is my price.”

“Come back to me.”

"I can't bear it, Aelin. I can't."
She threaded her fingers through his hair. "I wanted that thousand years with you," she said softly. "I wanted to have children with you.
I wanted to go into the Afterworld together." Her tears landed in his hair.

sigh take me!!

The rage in his eyes fractured, right along with his voice. "I would go in your stead, if I could."
Her own heart cracked. "I know."
Rowan fell to his knees before her, putting his head in her lap as his arms wrapped around her waist.
