❝ somebody else came through earlier. you should have seen the look on my face when it wasn’t you! ❞
❝ let’s forgive each other and forget, go back to how things used to be? ❞
❝ right now i wouldn’t talk to me if i were you. ❞
❝ i’ll have to pick up the pieces somehow, and figure out how to get on with my existence. ❞
❝ we have caused such violence in the intervening time, that we must take this as a real victory. ❞
❝ the only one responsible for all of this is you. and i thought even you would have understood that by now. ❞
❝ what is it with you gods talking behind the backs of all your friends? ❞
❝ the world you seek out there…it’s even crueler than the one you know. ❞
❝ look, i don’t hold grudges, you know that. ❞
❝ i didn’t mean to lose my temper with you. ❞
❝ the fates are pretty mean to keep on doing this to you. ❞
❝ i hardly think this is the time or place to indulge your overwrought imagination. ❞
❝ for our sparring practice, there’s no teacher than the real thing. ❞
❝ they say a lot of things about me; and they’ll tell you, ample caution is in order. ❞
❝ either your limitless power has considerably waned, are you are up to something. ❞
❝ i risked everything by helping you out there. ❞
❝ my voice is nothing but the crunch of gravel underfoot compared to yours, which soars as though on wings. ❞
❝ is clinging to a memory what keeps the soul from fading? ❞
❝ don’t know what it is about you, but i feel like i can be me with you, you know? ❞
❝ war, much like the heavens and the sea, can be considered as a force of nature. ❞
❝ if you know that you could only see me for but a moment’s time…would you still make the journey for me? ❞
❝ i, too, wish for a lot of things. unfortunately there’s no unraveling the fates’ patterns. ❞
❝ i left when it was necessary. i thought of you and hoped you’d understand. ❞
❝ all of which you think you have achieved was merely handed to you. ❞
❝ the past me, it’s as though…it wasn’t even me. this is me, now. ❞
❝ in war, one must take sides, and you had best choose mine. ❞
❝ i do not act by whim or by mistake. ❞
❝ we can learn from our mistakes or we can keep repeating them. ❞
❝ there’s nothing you can do to hurt me. ❞
❝ soon doubtless it’ll be your portrait hanging on that wall back there. ❞
❝ just don’t go starting any wars you don’t intend to finish. ❞
❝ you do something for me, in the meantime: don’t give in to what you’re feeling now. ❞
❝ it is not often i attempt to kill someone and they survive. bravo! ❞
❝ why does the soul remain, after the body bleeds, and dies, and turns to ash? ❞
❝ all gods and goddesses are to be feared. ❞
❝ what more could i have even done? could i have swayed you, in any other way? ❞
❝ i tried, with all my might, with all my heart, you must know that, and still, it never was enough. ❞
❝ i’m pleased to see your father’s stubbornness is manifest in you as such determination. ❞
❝ i’m really starting to hate you. you know that? ❞
❝ i’m with you every step. then i will probably ignore you like the rest. just warning you ahead of time. ❞
❝ use caution with the tone you take with me. ❞
❝ if you have any sense remaining in that head of yours, i caution you not to discuss this here and now. ❞
❝ you saw something in me i never knew was there. in turn, with you, i felt….calm. whole. ❞
❝ i only know that i was filled with rage. ❞
❝ the fates decided this for us, i guess, and so…who are we to complain? ❞
❝ i pray the fates not ruin all your dreams as they did mine. ❞
❝ what’s the worst that could happen? ❞
❝ they left their mark upon the world. shall you? ❞
❝ your mockery of me may temporarily embolden you, but achieves nothing useful in the end. ❞
❝ what exactly is it that makes you feel entitled to show me such disrespect? ❞
❝ i’ve got to admit, you are really frustrating, you know? ❞
❝ i seem to have this whole ‘easy-to-underestimate’ thing about me. ❞
❝ you seem a little quieter than usual. dare i even say a little somber and remorseful, for some reason? ❞
❝ keep following that heart of yours. it’s good enough a guide, believe me. ❞
❝ you always seem in good spirits, though. ❞
❝ a loving heart is a forgiving heart. ❞
❝ just in case it hasn’t been made clear as crystal lately, let me tell you: when presented with the opportunity, don’t ever reject me. ❞
❝ you know, i got to say i had a few concerns when we first met, your father being who he is and all. ❞
❝ i like it when my prey bites back. ❞
❝ you’d best not take for granted my affection yes, i’ve lots of it to go around; but i can just as easily rescind such privileges. ❞
❝ don’t be messing with my feelings. my loyalty’s hard-won and quickly lost. ❞
❝ the truth is i’m a lover, not a fighter. ❞
❝ you truly take me to the best of places. ❞
❝ death shall come. either to your enemies, or you. ❞
❝ a mortal’s life is short, and fraught with pain; is that truly the life you yearn for? ❞
❝ you think you are superior to me? you are a fool. ❞
❝ i grow angry merely thinking of your situation. ❞
❝ i wanted to apologize for when i pried about your past. ❞
❝ nobody gets out of here, whether alive or dead. you think i jest? you think i haven’t tried? ❞
❝ they got me, finally, of course. but not before i broke them first. ❞
❝ you are immortal, but in a manner, you can die. ❞
❝ you have a lot of nerve — but little else. ❞
❝ you’re either naive or you’re much too kind, or both. ❞
❝ despite whatever difficulties you’ve encountered, again and again, you have never yielded. ❞
❝ though, that war? don’t ask me about it again. all right? ❞
❝ you may not make your father very proud, but it is just the opposite with me. ❞
❝ even i’m beginning to fear you, i think. seems i don’t know you as well as i thought. ❞
❝ you have a worried look about you. spare me your thoughts? ❞
❝ names are there to be forgotten. ❞
❝ you honor me…i have done nothing to deserve this. ❞
❝ oh, how i hate to fight with you like this! ❞
❝ follow your heart? that’s odd advice, especially from you. ❞
❝ the fear of death keeps mortals well in check. you’d best learn to fear something yourself. ❞
❝ you are going to get me in a heap of trouble before all is said and done. ❞
❝ i’ll hear no more such wicked lies, half-truths, or quarter-truths. ❞
❝ well, if you won’t say it, i’ll say it. good-bye. ❞
❝ i know of no one, nothing stronger, other than the love we share. ❞
❝ i’ve some memories i’m not quite ready to give up on, yet. ❞
❝ you seem less warlike than the rest. ❞
❝ i am unmade, unwhole, here in this place, alone. ❞
❝ my past is not really worth mentioning. ❞
❝ you sound a little tongue-tied. just like you always used to around me. ❞
❝ you should be ashamed of yourself, and learn your place. ❞
❝ this look like a shoulder to cry on to you? ❞
❝ …you know who you sound like right now, don’t you? i can’t believe this. ❞
❝ i think, deep down, you are still that inexperienced little godling that you used to be. ❞
❝ i always had doubts the gods were listening. that they could even hear. ❞
❝ i was just checking up on you, just…let me know if you wanted to talk, for any reason. ❞
❝ if there’s one thing i know, it’s that the three fates always get their way. ❞
❝ hey, you’re not alone. you’re not alone, ok? ❞
❝ you’re not exactly easy to approach, you know. ❞
❝ i grieve for you, my friend. ❞
❝ are you lecturing me about healthy relationships with family? your family is the most broken and corrupted in the history of the entire concept. ❞
❝ you think you can just walk away from me? ❞
❝ how about it, then? care for a drink, with me? ❞
❝ you are entirely too young to have had meaningful experience with loss. ❞
❝ something the matter, there? or have you come to torment me some more with idle chat? ❞
❝ you will find me waiting for you once you get here. every single time. ❞
❝ men worship ares willingly; they are so much like him. ❞
❝ while love’s the force that brought me and countless other’s low in life, it also brought me and countless others strength. ❞
❝ beware the narrow distance between hastiness and swiftness. ❞
❝ a crashing wave or thundering tempest are nothing to a broken heart. ❞
❝ think back on when you started all of this. you now know so much more. are capable of so much more. ❞
❝ as ever, you think only of yourself. ❞
❝ this is where you belong. you feel out of place? where would you even go? your place is here. ❞
❝ your path is yours to shape as you see fit, regardless of the fates’ design. ❞
❝ you’re no god! you’re nothing but a piece of trash, born into all of this. ❞
❝ you seem to have me all figured out. and here i thought we were still getting to know each other. ❞
❝ leave me be, and don’t think you’re going to be so lucky next time we meet out there. ❞
❝ you have the tendency to ask too many questions. ❞
❝ i smell the blood on you. you are severely wounded. ❞
❝ don’t be messing with my feelings there. my trust is hard-won and quickly lost. ❞
❝ if you wish to test the fine relationship we’ve built, why then, i can confirm you’re testing it, all right. ❞
❝ don’t ever take me for some thoughtless nymph to be manipulated. ❞
❝ don’t get on my father’s bad side like that and you’re going to be fine. ❞
❝ how’s your endless toil treating you? ❞
❝ i’d never trade my bow for all that pomp and armor. but, to each their own. ❞
❝ let me see you now for what you truly are. ❞
❝ was i deceived, in thinking this of you, of us? ❞
❝ i get what i want around here. ❞
❝ don’t you dare look at my like that. ❞
❝ life isn’t particularly fair. i’d have expected you to know as much. ❞
❝ i’m leaving. try and stop me. ❞
❝ when i inevitably, inadvertently trample all over your feelings at some point, please tell me, all right? ❞
❝ you don’t even know who i am. who i was. ❞
❝ won’t you come back to me? when you are able, please. come back. i shall be waiting here, however long it takes. ❞
❝ never met a god that bleeds like you. red. like a worthless mortal. ❞
❝ i got to hanf it to you. you don’t back down. you don’t ever back down. ❞
❝ i’ve a tip for you: don’t be slow! ❞
❝ i…feel awful. i…i have to go. ❞
❝ once people set their minds to certain things, it can be difficult to show them other possibilites exist. ❞
❝ there’s something that i’ve wished to tell you: there’s no shame in your upbringing. ❞
❝ i have known too many far too proud to accept help, even when it was sorely needed. ❞
❝ may you yet come to your senses. ❞
❝ you can’t be serious. you’re going to pretend as though it never happened? ❞
❝ seems i’m left to thanking myself, since you’re too proud to do it. ❞
❝ fight like i’d fight out there. ❞
❝ you left, without so much as telling me good-bye. ❞
❝ you’ve such weak blood, and such a temperament… ❞
❝ i am very, very sure i haven’t murdered anyone. ❞
❝ i am truly blessed simply to have made your acquantince. ❞
❝ you wish to take advantage of my pity? ❞
❝ it comforts me to see how far you’ve come. ❞
❝ i’ve always wanted to kill a god. you’ll have to do. ❞
❝ you don’t have to give me something in return, it was a gift! ❞
❝ you know i’d take you if i could. ❞
❝ who might you be, wandering all the way out here? you’re trespassing on private property, you know. ❞
❝ really, you’re kicking me out? why? ❞
❝ you’re funny, but you’ll break. they always do. ❞
❝ you must think that i abandoned you. you think i had a choice?❞
❝ you’re stuck with me forever. remember that. ❞
❝ you know these heroes by their deeds, not by their character. ❞
❝ some would question the destruction which you sow, but i shall never do so. i fully understand your impulses. ❞
❝ you’re quite effective at locating me, but not so good at leaving me in peace. ❞
❝ you don’t need me & i don’t need you. ❞
❝ you lived through all that? ❞
❝ my heart soars, knowing you live. then it breaks, that our time together was so brief. ❞
❝ you’ve only me. and i have only you. ❞
❝ sulk in your chambers all you like, for i care not. ❞
❝ where did you go…? what did you do…? ❞
❝ monster! you have no bearing, grace or courage! ❞
❝ you’re beneath the notice of the gods. i have earned their favor. ❞
❝ your youth provides you with a certain mindless strength. ❞
❝ wait. i don’t think i owe you any favors, here. ❞
❝ you appear to have grown stronger since when last we interacted. ❞
❝ please…it was never my wish to hurt you. ❞
❝ death is your only family. ❞
❝ i too was born of darkness, but i chose the path of light. ❞
❝ don’t know how come everybody doesn’t sing. lightens the mood, passes the time. what’s not to like? ❞
❝ you come from the bowels of hell. this is not your place. ❞
❝ heroes? mere mortals, same as all the rest. ❞
❝ offend me, and i’ll drain the last traces of colour from your cheeks. ❞
❝ punishment is not the path to rehabilitation. ❞
❝ you’re nothing like your father. i mean that as a compliment. ❞
❝ i just hope that their intentions are as pure as they appear. ❞
❝ don’t be sad, pretty much everybody dies sometime. ❞
❝ i’ve done some things that maybe aren’t great. ❞
❝ actions beat intentions. ❞
❝ my fits of anger come and go just like the tides. ❞
❝ you know, i’d rather have my eyes put out, but thanks for offering! ❞
❝ you will need to face your fears someday. ❞
❝ true wisdom only comes with age. ❞
❝ something has stirred within your heart. i can always tell. ❞
❝ or…wait…what is this, did you just ask me out? ❞
❝ i’m getting awful sick of seeing your smug face, time, after time, after time. ❞
❝ your humility is matched only by your perseverance in the face of adversity. ❞
❝ your stubborness shall only bring you pain. ❞
❝ sometimes, our hearts become so full that they could burst. if only you could see how much i care. ❞
❝ wait, you’re not serious. that famous sense of humor shining through. ❞
❝ i’m surrounded by my family, but i always feel alone. ❞
❝ i shall make myself quite clear in one respect: i fear i have a lack of patience for discussion. ❞
❝ thought i might find you all the way out here. although, quite frankly, i’m surprised you’re still alive. ❞
❝ absolute silence is my general preference. it may not be yours. ❞
❝ i just like to see you menacingly smile. ❞
❝ don’t tell anyone about this, understand? ❞
❝ i told you i don’t need your help. ❞
❝ you’re much too modest for someone with such a number of heroic deeds to their name. ❞
❝ if anybody asks, we’re even. ❞
❝ we had a lovely time getting to know each other. we laughed, we cried! ❞
❝ what’s the matter, you gone soft or something? ❞
❝ be sure to add those to the list of words you’ll eat someday. ❞
❝ you know i’d do just about anything to aid you. ❞
❝ you again. i told you to stay clear of me. ❞
❝ in spite of all your efforts, it is probably the case that you still have a long and painful road ahead. ❞
❝ you’ve always cared for me. i can’t ever repay you for that. ❞
❝ i just thought i’d say, that was well fought back there. ❞
❝ hush, it’s the god of trash, come once again to filthy up this place. ❞
❝ changed your mind yet, or looking for more pain and suffering? ❞
❝ maybe get some sleep or something? you look pretty beat. ❞
❝ look, i’ve got a reputation to uphold. ❞
❝ your father’s quite the big shot around here, but that means nothing to me, understand? ❞
❝ you don’t have what it takes. nobody does. ❞
❝ there’s no returning to the way things used to be. ❞
❝ can i offer you some words of advice? get over yourself. ❞
❝ fear is for the weak. ❞
❝ you now what i like about you? the way you bleed. ❞
❝ may all the death you bring become the stuff of legends told in fearful mortal whisperings around the world. ❞
❝ i just happen to think you deserve better than you’ve got. ❞
❝ no love without pain. ❞
❝ you know what? i think we’re finished here. ❞
❝ i know you’re not in a good spot right now. ❞
❝ what you’re attempting is impossible. ❞
❝ i’m not your practice partner, fool. ❞
❝ first you defy me openly, and now you lie. ❞
❝ admit it. you can’t stop thinking about me. ❞
❝ maybe this might numb the pain a bit. ❞
❝ something’s troubled me a little, about you. ❞
❝ your failure is quite easily imagined. how often it recurs! ❞
❝ found this, thought of you and all that, so…here. ❞
❝ how i love these unexpected little run-ins with you. ❞
❝ what brings you back around this way again? ❞
❝ now what’s the matter? it’s like you’ve been up feasting day and night, you’re barely standing, everything ok? ❞
❝ if it wasn’t you proposing it, i’d like to call it madness. ❞
❝ i’ll sleep when i’m dead. ❞
❝ you must see plainly, then, what your birthright amounts to: you’re no better off than any of us here. ❞
❝ i’ll do my best. for both our sakes. ❞
❝ the world is not all lies and deceit as you make it out to be. ❞
❝ you fight so desperately. at first i thought you simply lacked in patience. but now i see it’s urgency that drives you. ❞
❝ you don’t know who or what you’re dealing with. ❞
❝ who are you to judge, you misbegotten, shameful, unfilial maggot? ❞
❝ you’re getting real predictable, you know. ❞
❝ ahh, so you are taking pity on me, then? ❞
❝ thank you for making me feel welcome in your pleasant home. can’t say the same for most places i’ve been lately. ❞
❝ while i know what you meant, i don’t want you to say such things again. ❞
❝ look at you, you’re hurt there pretty bad. ❞
❝ i can’t be completely sure but, what you said just now i think contained some of the component pieces of a compliment? ❞
❝ you’re stubborn. however, so am i. ❞
❝ you think me cruel, yet no nothing of cruelty. ❞
❝ you just stick with me, i’ve always time for you. ❞
❝ you look a little down and so i was just wondering, would you perchance fancy a song right now? ❞
❝ i get the feeling we’re starting off on the wrong foot. ❞
❝ a harsh winter is coming for you. and i’m afraid you’ve brought it on yourself. ❞
❝ i was unkind last time. forgive my indiscretions there…or don’t. but i wished to apologize. ❞
❝ don’t suppose i can talk you into fighting back this time? ❞
❝ go occupy yourself someplace else. ❞
❝ don’t feel bad! it had to happen! but if it’s any consolation, it’ll probably happen again! ❞
❝ you’re running from yourself. ❞
❝ wine does have a rather special way of making everybody look even more beautiful than ever. ❞
❝ i am not interested in having company, especially from you. ❞
❝ my faith is prone to shakiness sometimes. ❞
❝ you’re not your father, thank the gods. ❞
❝ i’d ask you to join me for a drink, but i know you’ve a task ahead of you, and liquor dulls the senses. ❞
❝ you’re more stubborn than your father. i never thought that such a thing was possible. ❞
❝ remember, next time, that on my whim i can take everything from you. ❞
❝ haven’t we had more than enough of each other by now? ❞
❝ i get the feeling i’m being watched. ❞
❝ you’ve berated me repeatedly and often. ❞
❝ you ever lose somebody dear to you? ❞
❝ as you grow long in years, perhaps you shall learn better judgement as to whom to trust, and whom to never, ever disrespect. ❞
❝ stay focused on the hunt, and it’ll help keep the pain at bay. ❞
❝ you are just so spontaneous, and i’ve a liking for that sort of thing! ❞
❝ no one gets out of here, whether dead or alive. ❞
❝ what is it that you’re after, really…? ❞
❝ do not throw away your life as i did mine. ❞
❝ you do not take all your defeats to heart, do you? that’s good. ❞
❝ the fates can twist intentions. i don’t want to take the risk. ❞
❝ sometimes you make me feel alive again. ❞
❝ we’ve been through a lot, and i think we’ll be going through a lot more yet. ❞
❝ feelings we shared…they faded, with time. ❞
❝ learn well to shut that foolish mouth of yours, or i shall shut it for you. ❞
❝ i knew so many warriors who would throw away their lives for glory, believing that the gods were on their side; refusing to consider that their opponents felt the very same. ❞
❝ you didn’t need to vent all that inner turmoil onto me throughout my life. ❞
❝ swear to me that you shall never repeat what you are about to hear. swear it! ❞
❝ sometimes i wonder what’s going through your head. ❞
❝ i can do this. i can do this. i can do this. ❞
❝ you have a good heart. keep listening to it. ❞
❝ you picked sides, and things are not the same. ❞
❝ all the terrible choices i’ve made. by the time you have existed for as long as i have, pray youo will have made fewer. ❞
❝ please open your mind to the fact that there are those who care about your wellbeing. ❞
❝ i know you mean well. from the bottom of my heart, i thank you truly for the thought. ❞
❝ how can somebody be so brash yet hate to take unnecessary risks? ❞
❝ i know we can’t exactly change the past, but we can try to move forward. ❞
❝ you didn’t answer my question. though, you know something? forget i asked. ❞
❝ just checking in on you, but i’ll be on my way again shortly. ❞
❝ you would speak to me of foolish mistakes? ❞
❝ do not question my power. ❞
❝ i don’t hate you. i don’t think i can ever hate you. ❞
❝ i’ve decided not to kill you. no sport in cornered prey. ❞
❝ i never thought i’d hear you talking about looking forward to working. you feeling alright? ❞
❝ it has been far too long. although, the passing of the time was very kind. ❞
❝ i have been thinking on this for some time, and i’ve a declaration i must make: i shall hear no more of your silver-tongued lies. ❞
❝ may i have this dance for old time’s sake? ❞
❝ no matter how far you run, it doesn’t make your problems go away. ❞
❝ i ever tell you you’re a real sweetheart? because, if not, i’m telling you right now. ❞
❝ oh don’t worry, i’ll be back in fighting shape in no time. ❞
❝ it’s not that i’m upset or anything. you know i’m not, but truthfully i’m a bit annoyed. ❞
❝ you’ve got quite the fighting spirit in there, i have to say. ❞
❝ …answer me something. what am i to you, exactly, as of late? ❞
❝ if you’ve not anger enough for it yet, you’ll learn, i promise you. ❞
❝ i shall bring desolation upon those who wrong you. ❞
❝ you know nothing of tempers if mine is your frame of reference. ❞
❝ let me save you lots of future suffering: i happen to be the jealous type. ❞
❝ i was really hoping we could change the subject. please? ❞
❝ finally you cleared the mess you caused. ❞
❝ i never grew accustomed to the air, up here. it gusts senselessly whichever way it pleases. ❞
❝ i need your help with something. as i’m about to risk it all. ❞
❝ love tends to blossom in the strangest places at the strangest times. ❞
❝ normally they grovel, then they scream. they shut up eventually, but not you. at least, not yet. ❞
❝ you know, you ain’t near as bad as i’d heard! ❞
❝ so now you know. but, only half the truth. ❞
❝ you are and always will be an insufferable brat. ❞
❝ they say both gods and mortals are notoriously poor at estimating how long it takes to get anything done. ❞
❝ i’m warning you, i’m not susceptible to bribes. many have tried. ❞
❝ by my estimation, you have slain at least a thousand souls. ❞
❝ everyone’s saying i went easy on you. ❞
❝ no, on quite the contrary i’ve been under no impression that avoiding conflict is an option here. ❞
❝ i don’t exactly know the ways of mortals. ❞
❝ it’s not just you swept up in all this nonsense now. you didn’t ask for me to get involved but what did you expect? ❞
❝ if only i had wisdom such as yours, so that i was more capable of picking up on subtle jabs and insults such as that. ❞
❝ did i detect some hesitance on your part just then? perhaps you knew that you were making a mistake. ❞
❝ i need you in my life! how can you just…turn me away like this? ❞
❝ no. no mournful speeches. now get out of my way. ❞
❝ you needn’t lavish me with your faint praise. ❞
❝ our memories are warnings. when you have lived as long as i have, you come to understand your weaknesses. ❞
❝ you speak as one who’s not experienced war. ❞
❝ you’re looking kind of down. normally you’re all smiles, for whatever reason. ❞
❝ your heart shall never carry you astray. ❞
❝ it almost sounds as though you’ve broken up with me. ❞
❝ come now, i don’t think that’s anything to be concerned about. ❞
❝ where did you steal that kingly blade you’re brandishing about? it seems ill-fitting for one such as you. ❞
❝ if there’s one thing i’ve learned since we met, it’s that the trust we share is at the very foundation of our relationships. ❞
❝ so you’re realizing now that your entire image of me came from your imagination, is that it? ❞
❝ sorry, my lips are sealed. how about we change the subject? ❞
❝ you mistook me for someone who blindly follows orders without considering the implications. ❞
❝ you, in a healthy relationship? why yes, that i have to see. ❞
❝ you won’t tell me anything about you? you’re just going to leave me to speculate, forever? ❞
❝ oh, would you look at whom i found, all by their lonely self. ❞
❝ sometimes our tempers get the best of all of us. you’re fortunate mine didn’t get the best of you back there. ❞
❝ you really need to learn to stop meddling in others’ affairs. ❞
❝ was just thinking about you. ❞
❝ i may not be the one to kill you. but i’ll soften you up for whoever does. ❞
❝ i have been waiting for a special moment to confess my great appreciation for your deeds. this moment’s special enough, isn’t it? ❞
❝ all mortal life is fragile; it simply is a struggle to survive. ❞
❝ it wasn’t any of my business to pry into your personal life. i should have asked. ❞
❝ what do you say we deal some death together? ❞
❝ the more you step away from your responsibilites, the less you shall want anything to do with them. ❞
❝ what we were once, i wonder if it’s but a falsely ringing memory of mine… ❞
❝ in all your boundless intellect, i’d have expected you would know i see through your intentions, plan as day. ❞
❝ ii shall not lie to you again. that much, i swear. ❞
❝ oh, i don’t have the heart to keep exacting vengeance on you. ❞
❝ privileges are earned, not begged for. ❞
❝ i thought we had an understanding. but, this wouldn’t be the first time i was wrong about someone. ❞
❝ i have every confidence you’ll someday clamber from the shadows into the light. ❞
❝ no paradise awaits you. ❞
❝ did you miss me? i thought i’d steal away a bit and that together we might make up for lost time. ❞
❝ when blood is spilled and death is dealt, i simply cannot remain discontented for too long. ❞
❝ unlike my present company, i do not ask too many questions. ❞
❝ what’s life without a little pain. ❞
❝ such a waste, all for your foolish pride, that you should care more to be remembered by those you shall never know than to be loved… ❞
❝ you chose to die in glory, not to live in peace…and all for what? ❞
❝ what’s the matter there? gone awful quiet. did i hurt your feelings? ❞
❝ please, if not for your sake, then for mine…do not return. ❞
❝ you blame your ancestors for your own weakness? ❞
❝ i still grow frustrated with myself quite often and don’t always know whom to turn to. ❞
❝ i’ll just remain here, comfortably at rest, for some untold millenia. ❞
❝ the world has a limitless capacity for pain. ❞
❝ well, if you do require some emotional support, know that i likely shall be standing over here. ❞
❝ you’re not fooling anybody with your feigned benevolence, you know. ❞
❝ i’m just an old killer, yet you treat me like i’m the one who’s royalty around here. ❞
❝ life and death are inextricable, and war is often what connects the two. ❞
❝ someday or night you shall look back on this, and thank me. ❞
❝ i can no longer tolerate my life here in this place. ❞
❝ they said you were headed this way. i said i’d stop you. ❞
❝ if you were being too pushy, you better believe i would have put you back in your place, royalty or not. ❞
❝ i am leaving, even if it kills me. ❞
❝ hey, can’t ever be too careful when it comes to people’s past and feelings and stuff, right? ❞
❝ should you ever go to war…do look me up. i imagine i would take your side. ❞
❝ have you given any thought to just…leaving me alone, and going back to wherever it is you came from? ❞
❝ and here i was beginning to think we had something special going. ❞
❝ i’m worried you’re going to burn yourself out if you keep pushing yourself past your limits. ❞
❝ whoever it was you used to be, i believe you’ve changed. ❞
❝ i’m no mere mortal. ❞
❝ i suppose this must be what it’s like to be a god. being shown affection such as this. ❞
❝ admittedly i was quite good at it, but i was nothing other than a killer. ❞
❝ no need to get emotional, is there? i’m not the sentimental type. ❞
❝ all that pent-up rage behind your smiling words… ❞
❝ don’t ever fall for mortals. use them if you must, but do not waste your love on those who waste away. ❞
❝ i was never terribly fearful of gods. they seem to have their struggles much like mortals do. ❞
❝ i would ask you to think of your well-being for the time, not mine. ❞
❝ must say you’re very good at hiding your worries. ❞
❝ anger fades. anger burns hot, then burns out. what’s left is a dull ache. ❞
❝ you have much to be proud of. you’re a great warrior. a great instructor. a great friend. ❞
❝ you must know the seven types of love by now, don’t you? why, i have several types of love for you! ❞
❝ sometimes i fear i shall develop some sort of grudging respect for you. ❞
❝ as you grow long in years, you gain more burdens and responsibilities, until they bind you. ❞
❝ you’re being very nice to me, and that makes me suspicious, understand? ❞
❝ you like me? i never thought, i…don’t know why that sounds so strange, coming from you. ❞
❝ just know that…if you feel the way i do…you know where to find me. ❞
❝ i still have feelings for you, i think. ❞
❝ you’re a god. i’m telling you to learn to act like one. ❞
❝ we were invincible together, weren’t we? though, i have never missed those days… ❞
❝ i like being on my own and all, but it’s been nice, talking to you like this. ❞
❝ you’ve done more for me than i’ve any right to expect, from anyone. ❞
❝ the heart can make us do the strangest things, can’t it? ❞
❝ i would never have been remotely prepared for everything i’ve had to face, if not for all your guidance. and i don’t just mean the violent stuff. ❞
❝ you’re not so bad, you know that? careful with that, or you’ll undermine the ruthless reputation you have. ❞
❝ well, for all his failings, i’m thankful that he did not teach you how to hate. ❞
❝ i don’t know that i hate anybody, really. ❞
❝ there are a myriad of tales to be told, of both great deeds and of vainglorious defeats, and this has been a tale that falls somewhere in the middle. ❞
❝ there is no replacing your presence. i felt that before we ever met, and now i know for sure. ❞
❝ mortals are so bent on clinging to their lives, that many among them would gladly kill for it. ❞
❝ listen to me. i don’t know how else to put this, but, i want you to come home. ❞
❝ i think we understand something of loss, now, don’t we? ❞
❝ hey, look, i can tell you’re struggling right now… ❞
❝ you must know i often hunger for destruction, almost uncontrollably at that. ❞
❝ you still have no idea how to be up front with me, do you. why don’t you tell me why you’re here, and what you want. ❞
❝ the destruction you have sown, the sheer carnage…nothing can surpass that. ❞
❝ i do not think i ever would have asked for help, at any point, because…i don’t entirely know how. ❞
❝ but hope alone is worthless without action, is it not? ❞
❝ as bloodshed has become somewhat of a necessity in my situation, i am very grateful that you’re with me in this. ❞
❝ many mortals strive for greatness all their lives, never quite realizing there is no existing formula for it. not even a specific definition for it. ❞
❝ there are aspects of my country that i miss, from time to time. the stark, bright beauty of that strange, wondrous land. ❞
❝ i think for many of us, it can come as a surprise to learn that love and war often go hand in hand. ❞
❝ you don’t have what it takes. ❞
❝ quit messing with my heart. ❞
❝ you’re nothing to me anymore. ❞
❝ say, you must know a lot of big shots, don’t you? other gods and all that? ❞
❝ i trust, from time to time, you stop to ask yourself how come you choose to fight. ❞
❝ you cannot change the course that has been set. try all you like. ❞
❝ we don’t all share the same demeanor, nor see eye to eye. though all of us, i think, wish you the best. ❞
❝ i’ve known great men throughout my life, and i can always tell when someone’s better than their circumstances. ❞
❝ i am quite capable of making your life plenty difficult. ❞
❝ i bet whoever it is that loves you…it’s because of who you are. ❞
❝ i lay the blame entirely upon you, yes. who else? ❞
❝ i think, deep down, you are not the heartless harbinger of retribution that you want everyone to think you are. ❞
❝ in my domain, you either find your place, or you learn your place. ❞
❝ you have no idea how good you’ve had it here. maybe someday you’ll come to understand. ❞
❝ do not mess with me right now. ❞
