 ONYX STORM (#3 THE EMPYREAN)

REBECCA YARROS

“Your wings won’t hold the weight of this ice. And yet yours miraculously carry the burden of your ego”.

“Telling me you’re capable of horrible things while still loving me is pretty much your idea of foreplay”.

“Sometimes I worry about Violete. She has your sharp wit, quick mind, and steadfast heart paired with my bullheaded tenacity. When she finally and truly gives that heart, I fear it will overrule the other gifts you’ve given her and logic will cede its voice to love. And if her first two liaisons are any indication of what we might expect… Gods help her, my love, I’m afraid our daughter has atrocious taste in men”.

“-Xaden’s going to be pissed. -Which is why you’re going to be the one to tell him when we pull it off. He won’t kill you”.

“-Any chance you have an affinity for public speaking? It certainly runs in your family. -Was it the shunning of by birthright in favor of a high probability of death that gave me away?”

“You might be angry when you realize I didn’t wake you to say goodbye. But it’s only because I no longer fully trust mu ability to walk away”.

“I’m giving diplomacy a try. Not sure it’s for me, though”.

“[…] I’m trying really hard to be diplomatic, since that’s the role I’ve been handed, but let me put this in terms you’ll understand. Your king kidnapped our asshole of a prince, and there’s a large part of me that wouldn’t mind him staying here and annoying the shit out of you for the erst of your miserable life, but that would make things difficult back home for someone I have… complicated loyalty toward., so I’m going to need the prick back”.

“Perhaps the point of this is not to deny rebellion, but to only go to war with those you trust implicitly”.

“Usually, I consider myself pretty understanding about the fact that you sleep in her bed, and I look to the other way when you two attach yourselves at the face, but we have a meeting in thirty minutes and I need to talk to you before then”.

“Survive first so you can be curious later”.

“-You should see if she’ll hunt with the others. -Feel free to ask. I’ll watch. Be sure you’re near the water so you can put yourself out when she sets you on fire”.

“-The pain. The mess. Give it to me. I’ll hold it. I know that sounds ludicrous, but I’ll find a way. I will hold everything you don’t want to feel because I love every part of you. -You already hold my soul and now want my pain? Geeting greedy, Violence”.

“-I don’t care if she hands you a steaming pile of goat shit. No one complains. Got it? Smile and thank her. This is our last real chance to secure an army. -What if it’s cow shit. That’s considerably heavier. -No complaining. -Fuck, it’s like traveling with my parents”.

“-What the fuck are we going to do with that thing for the rest of the trip? -Keep Andarna from eating it”.

“-Hi! I’m Quinn Hollis. I’ve decided we should be friends. -Do you realize we’re about to cross the walkway of death. -Well, then it might be a short friendship, but we’ll make it a good one”.
