A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC / A GATHERING OF SHADOWS by v. e. schwab sentence meme.

❛  I’d rather die on an adventure than live standing still.  ❜

❛  After all, you can kill people, but you cannot kill magic. Not truly.  ❜

❛  Impossible. What a useless word, in a world with magic.  ❜

❛  Everyone thinks I have a death wish, you know? But I don’t want to die – dying is easy. No, I want to live, but getting close to death is the only way to feel alive. And once you do, it makes you realize that everything you were actually doing before wasn’t actually living. It was just making do. Call me crazy, but I think we do the best living when the stakes are high.  ❜

❛  You have two faces. One you wear for the world at large, and the one you wear for those you love.  ❜

❛  Everyone’s immortal until they’re not.  ❜

❛  It is as it is. It cannot be undone. So please, be grateful, and be done with it.  ❜

❛  The thing about freedom? It doesn’t come naturally. Almost no one has it handed to them. I’m free because I fought for it.  ❜

❛  I know you can do this. I know you can hear me. Stay with me. Listen to my voice.  ❜

❛  Maybe you just got a taste of what it really means to be alive. You almost died. So now you know what it feels like to live. To fear for that life. To fight for it. And once you know, well, there’s no going back.  ❜

❛  You made a mistake. Everybody makes them. Even me. I’ve made many. It’s only fair that you made one.  ❜

❛  I did only what I had to do. If I could have given my life for yours, I would have.  ❜

❛  A kiss for luck. Not that I need it.  ❜

❛  I know. I know what and who you are. What will you do? Kill me?  ❜

❛  Why am I the only one in this fucking world to be held accountable for my actions?  ❜

❛  Aren’t you afraid of dying?  ❜

❛  I’m sorry. For whatever happened to you. For whoever hurt you so deeply that you see things like friends and fondness as weapons instead of shields.  ❜

❛  You know so little of war. Battles may be fought from the outside in, but wars are won from the inside out.  ❜

❛  Between the two of us, we’ll tear the whole world down.  ❜

❛  I am going to cut that smile off your face.  ❜

❛  It hurts. More than dying ever did. There are days when I feel like I deserve this.  ❜

❛  Death doesn’t scare me. Not nearly as much as the idea of wasting a perfectly good life in fear of it.  ❜

❛ You’re always so eager to slash and stab, why couldn’t you have stabbed him.  ❜

❛  Which is it, huh? You’re angry at me, or worried about me, or happy to see me? Because I can’t keep up.  ❜

❛  Wouldn’t it be amazing, if we got away with it?  ❜

❝It would appear as though you know                      very little about me, in that case.❞

It was a sharp blade. The hilt was emblazoned, along with the very base of the kris’ blade. A very peculiar thing, it seemed quite peculiar in the hands of a Nightfallen, and yet somehow that made it all the more fitting for a man such as himself. It aimed itself at the stranger before him, enough to glint the light of day off its blade. The possibility of a threat had presented itself to him in the form of dagger-like words into his psyche. There was little else he needed to be disdainful.

     ❝You seem rather keen on losing your tongue, outlander. No matter      the hunger that claws at my mind, I will not falter. Yet I would sooner      WITHER than allow myself to serve mindlessly like royal little      loyalists. Regardless of your poison’s meaning  — it would be wise      to watch what you say.❞

Though the kris had been lowered at that point, thevery thought of such an audacious comment set a fiery blaze in his blood. The very boiling could almost be seen against the thinness of his skin.Sooner he would take his own life than to be aslave to anything. Madness, tyranny, falsehood.The arcanist’s grunt would be his last audiblewarning before his silence.

BLOODBORNE SENTENCE MEME.

The morning always comes.

This will be your home, for now.

Look at you, you sorry drunk.

Don’t you worry. This will help you forget.

I’ve never been use to anyone.

I only wanted to help…

Your blood is tainted.

You shall not abscond your crimes!

Is it the blood, or are you just raving mad?

This can’t be the real you. …Please, stop.

I have no time for your petty lies.

I will never leave your side.

Your presence somehow soothes.

I only wanted…to be your….friend

Would you ever think to love me?

You let the blood get the best of you.

Remember yourself. You are not a beast.

You are no more than a beast. I should’ve known.

Too proud to show your true face, eh?

I don’t seem apt for this life anymore.

Please, just stop. Stop, please!

Of course…I do love you.

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood.

My eyes grow heavy…Let me rest a while. I’ll be fine, just wait.

Whatever can be gained from this place, it will do more harm than good.

We must find a way to surpass our own stupidity. 

Isn’t it time someone put you out of your misery?

I’d like to tender my thanks, but I haven’t much to offer.

Just think about what you’re doing. It’s utter madness.

What good is your immortality now!

You’ll be one of them, sooner or later.

May you find your worth in the waking world.

Have you got a screw loose? Or is it your…animal intuition?

You hunters have got more blood on your hands.

Hunters are killers, nothing less!

You call me a beast? A beast? What would you know? I didn’t ask for this!

Without fear in our hearts, we’re little different from the beasts themselves.

You can’t bottle everything up inside. You mustn’t be afraid to share.

Rancid beasts, every last one of us.

I should think you still have dreams?

But…do the gods love their creations?

May the good blood guide your way.

You know not the value you posses. 

The things you hunt, they’re not beasts. They’re people.

If you insist on hunting them, then I will hunt you first. You understand me?

What is the meaning of this? Why turn your blade on me?

Oh don’t you worry. Whatever happens, you may think it all a mere bad dream.

arcanxctis started following you

   “Suramar is a beautiful place.” Wrathion mused quietly, eyes far off - back turned - his voice the only hint that he knew someone was in his presence. “I’ve grown rather fond of it here, in such a short time. I am Wrathion.” He said, turning. 

        “Have you heard of me?” 

     ❝I know nothing of you.❞

It was not a very welcoming statement. The arcanist’s eyes were stationed on a fruit in his lithe fingers, the skin peeling unevenly from it as he dragged his kris across it. He only paid the stranger mind when the long, spiraling string of flesh detached itself from the fruit.       ❝It is as beautiful as it is mendacious. It would be wise to       do naught more than gaze upon it, outlander. ❞

The knight looked at the wolves for a moment as they scurried away. He was suprised that the arcanist did not choose to simply kill them, but what was the point? Another pack would simply move in, 

“I should”, he conffessed, his hand still resting on the hilt of his enchanted sword, “Are you part of the elves of Shal’aran? I don’t take that you belong to the Grand Magistrix.”

[arcanxctis-blog]

His eyes narrowed at the thought of descending into the burrow as he had not long ago. The arcanist was not particularly FOND of the sight of refugees piled up in a corner. And though many of them shared similar woes, the very thought of revealing his own kept him far away from the enclave. But perhaps he would humor the knight, just once.

     ❝I suppose you could say that,❞ Algrenon shifted in his      place. Something made him unknowingly antsy. ❝I am a      rebel. And I would sooner wither than grovel at the feet      of a false goddess. You can imagine what a faux pas      such as this might net me had I still resided in      Suramar...❞

Below you will find quotes taken directly or paraphrased from the movie 'Labyrinth'. You know, the one starring David Bowie's bulge. Send in one of the following to see how my muse reacts:

❝ I ask for so little. ❞

❝ Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. ❞

❝ Just fear me, love me - do as I say and I will be your slave.❞

❝ You remind me of the babe. ❞

❝ That’s not fair! ❞

❝ Give me the child. ❞

❝ You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is? ❞

❝ I have been generous up ‘til now; I can be cruel. ❞

❝ You cowered before me, I was frightening. ❞

❝ I have reordered time; I have turned this world upside down, and I have done it all for you! ❞

❝ I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. ❞

❝ Isn’t that generous? ❞

❝ Your mother is a fraggin’ aardvark! ❞

❝ Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. ❞

❝ I move the stars for no one. ❞

❝ Your eyes can be so cruel. ❞

❝ If she ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a prince. ❞

❝ If he ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a princess. ❞

❝ You’re him, aren’t you? ❞

❝ You’re her, aren’t you? ❞

❝ My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great. ❞

❝ You have no power over me. ❞

❝ How you turn my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ Well then, come on, which way? ❞

❝ Which way do you want to go, hm? ❞

❝ Was that wrong? ❞

❝ I’ve brought you a gift. ❞

❝ But if you turn it this way and look into it, it will show you your dreams. ❞

❝ In nine hours and twenty-three minutes…you’ll be mine. ❞

❝ Where you goin’ with a head like that? ❞

❝ No, I said ‘allo’, but that’s close enough. ❞

❝ It’s only forever, not long at all. ❞

❝ All right then, throw down your weapons, and I’ll see that you’re well-treated. ❞

❝ Don’t tell me truth hurts, because it hurts like hell. ❞

❝ No one can blame you for walking away. ❞

❝ I don’t know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. ❞

❝ The way forward is sometimes the way back. ❞

❝ It’s very rude to stare! ❞

❝ What did you have to go and do a thing like that for? ❞

❝ What’d you expect fairies to do? ❞

❝ What’s the matter, my dear, don’t like your toys? ❞

❝ There’s such a sad love, deep in your eyes. ❞

❝ I’ll place the sky within your eyes. ❞

❝ What kind of magic spell to use? ❞

❝ I’ll paint you mornings of gold. ❞

❝ I’ll spin you Valentine evenings. ❞

❝ I’ll be there for you as the world falls down. ❞

❝ We’re choosing the path between the stars. ❞

❝ I’ll leave my love between the stars. ❞

❝ How you turned my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ You starve and near exhaust me. ❞

❝ I do believe in you. ❞

❝ I live without the sunlight. ❞

❝ I love without your heartbeat. ❞

❝ I can’t live within you. ❞

there is no better FRIEND than a SISTER

      && there is no better SISTER than YOU

[bringerxfstorms-archived]

The stranger drew back but not too far. He made himself comfortable on a large rock nearby. He was not at all bothered by the Nightfallen’s words. Oddly enough, he appeared to be amused.

“Far enough.” Come his reply. “My curiosity got the better of me. We are alike in that regard.”

Abaddon didn’t make it a habit to ruffle the feathers of the locals. Though it wasn’t like he was new to the isles. “In my rudeness, I have utterly failed to introduce myself.”

In a way, the man mocked the other. For it was not he who had started it. But alas, he must stop doing it. “You may call me Abaddon. A humble man ever seeking enlightenment. And you are?”  

[arcanxctis-blog]

❝Algrenon.❞

Did he even think anymore? Even statement was a calculated response, formulated long in advance for  every situation he might think to encounter. Even now it seemed to be a mechanical process. He spoke it all as the truth, as if not even realizing how fake it truly was. Regardless, his introduction was a short one.

     ❝I am an arcanist. Simply put, a mage  — with far more      reverence for the arcane. It is a pleasure...❞

His tone was perhaps questionable, but it seemed far more polite than anything else he had spoken thus far. It remained blatantly obvious, however, that he was not in high spirits.

Careless. Of course, the Nightborne was right. Anierous WAS careless, walking through the unknown forest like that. Taking the road and risking Duskwatch patrols, however, was even more of a risk. The wolves however were no real risk to someone as trained (and exprienced) as him,

Still, a thanks was in order, and he inclined his head polietly to the taller elf, “Thank you for the assisstence. I’m not quite as familiar to the area as I would have liked.”

[arcanxctis-blog]

❝Feh.❞

Callousness was a habit. It had not been the most prideful one, nor something he wished to think any further on. Everything that came from him was fired like bullets, one statement after another. It was all instinctive. A snap of the fingers dropped the prisons from the wolves’ forms, allowing them to reunite with the ground once more. The very moment they felt the earth beneath their paws, they scattered away from the duo with whines breathed to the air. It happened every time. Not a one ever stayed to fight him.

      ❝You should be more careful,❞ ‘You’re welcome’. That was       what he meant. It remained masked behind a cascade of       disappointment.  ❝...❞

Low, threatening snarls. It seemed but a warning to prowling wolves, yet the Snarlers scattered across Suramar were vocal about their discontent with wanderers. Every part of the mana-ridden land they lay claim to had been their territory. And they would settle for nothing less. With every step the Blood Knight took, there came the soft crunching of foliage following behind. And within a few yards of walking, the wolves thought it DISDAINFUL that the man would continue treading their grounds against all better judgement. 

Without further hesitation a full pack jumped at the champion, with guttural growls and teeth bared seeking the very marks they all set upon his throat. And surely he may have handled the large group of beasts, but before a weapon drew from its sheath the lot of them FROZE. Arcane magic bonded them in place, like prisons in mid-air. Though not a one could move a muscle, the animals growled and struggled in their confines. Given a moment there would come whines of pain in unison, the tethering magic squeezing them. It was after the howls of pain that the arcanist stepped into a clean view, underneath the wolves in the midst of their attack. And he paid very little mind to them.

     ❝Looking to get yourself killed by mere beasts, I see,❞ were his      words of ‘wisdom’. Perhaps blunt and unimpressed, but      Algrenon cared naught how it came off,  ❝Well. at least your      carelessness has allotted me a time frame of practice. I      would thank you, but... well, I certainly can’t ENCOURAGE      carelessness, now can I?❞

[bringerxfstorms-archived]

He had never seen a Nightfallen before. He heard of them but never had the pleasure of meeting one. Some blindly sought magical energy while others kept their sanity. At least for a time. Or so he believed. Regretfully, he could not do anything for their cursed state by other magical means.

Abaddon had spend most of his time in the skies in his true form. Storms and raging seas for the most part was from his doing. Though He usually stayed away from Suramar. Drawing his hood back, arcane markings that seemed to be etched into his skin becoming visible. His head was shaved on both sides, making the markings there noticeable.

“Ah, still like them but not. Such a cruel fate.” Spoke the stranger. “Perhaps it is I that can help you, Nightfallen. But it seems to me that you would rather be alone to read a withering tome.”

[arcanxctis-blog]

Snark. Or perhaps, simply the way one would speak to the man who seemed to be collapsing into himself. Thinning fingers tightened, more volatile in correspondence with the current nature of things. And for a moment he held back baring his teeth like an animal, but the FORCE that built behind his lips had no doubt been obvious. Even in any bit of good will the Nightfallen saw little but a ruse.

     ❝My business is my own,❞ a noise rumbled in his throat,      something akin to a growl and yet it seemed far too quiet      and shrill to fit the agenda,  ❝and I do not need your pity,      outlander. You need only concern yourself with where      you stand on this fine line you come so close to      overstepping.❞

His only interest that remained had been the sight revealed by the uncovering of the stranger’s hood. Etchings, almost in a way that had reminded him  of unknown GLYPHS, ebbed his irritation enough to force his ever-growing uncertainly into spreading the back bindings of his book even further out. How regretfully he grew curious, for what he saw was merely a man. But of what magic did the snide partake in? Had it been purely arcane? Now he ached to know, if only that he might be done with the confrontation.
