❝ a few true friends are better than a thousand friendly-feigning faces. ❞
❝ curse these old wounds of mine…i once was stronger than this. ❞
❝ look at yourself, you are too calm. suppressing your anger for the illusion of control. ❞
❝ in spite of everything, i don’t hate you. not entirely. ❞
❝ forgiveness is like a special healing ointment, to be applied sparingly. ❞
❝ better to be modest than a braggart, i suppose. but you might aspire to be somewhere in between. ❞
❝ there is a stir of something different in the air tonight…you feel it too, yes? ❞
❝ when tears well up, let them spill forth; they’re not so precious that they need to be contained. ❞
❝ i have outsmarted you…and i shall overpower you as well. ❞
❝ my pain i can handle fine, who cares? yours, i don’t think i could live with. ❞
❝ you really do care about me, huh. for the longest time i just wouldn’t let myself believe it. ❞
❝ tell me you killed the bastard? drove your staff into his wretched skull, slid a dagger in his gut? ❞
❝ you’ve a defiant streak in you. one you’d be wise to hold in check. ❞
❝ you gods never forgive; why then should i? ❞
❝ you cannot break me; that i know. ❞
❝ if suffering brings about a better tomorrow, so be it. ❞
❝ loyalty is either earned or bought, and it makes little difference either way. ❞
❝ we are most powerful when we remain obscure; when we are underestimated. ❞
❝ as you begin your next attempt at the seemingly impossible, know that i shall be with you to the bitter end. ❞
❝ good thing i can drown my sorrows here, and guess what? so can you! ❞
❝ if my safety is now your concern…you can begin by showing yourself out. with all due respect. ❞
❝ if you undermine my authority, you shall suffer the consequences. simple. ❞
❝ let’s not talk about the past, all right? i much prefer the present. ❞
❝ even in a place of sorrow such as this, there’s beauty…gentleness. ❞
❝ power always contains the secrets of its own undoing. ❞
❝ for you? i shall not hesitate to pierce the heavens and the earth alike. ❞
❝ i feel sorry for you. really do. we always want what we can never have. ❞
❝ that was one of the worst sentences i think i’ve ever heard. ❞
❝ gods do not go quietly, and history repeats. ❞
❝ you got into my head. i want you out. ❞
❝ sounds like you’ve had quite an eventful night. ❞
❝ i don’t know, this sounds a little treasonous. ❞
❝ we get to know each other, you’ll live to regret it. happens all the time. ❞
❝ what are you fighting for? what do you hope to prove? ❞
❝ my pain i can handle fine, who cares? yours, i don’t think i could live with. ❞
❝ if there is some bad blood between us, i would like to know the cause. ❞
❝ in this world, you can’t rely on anybody but yourself. ❞
❝ spilled half my blood back there… ❞
❝ quickly now, tell me but this: have you been…are you well? ❞
❝ why do the gods do anything at all? simply because they can. ❞
❝ spare not a single wretch that dares to stand against you. ❞
❝ look at you, it’s like, just…wow. don’t even have the words. ❞
❝ love and hate! the most powerful emotions, and the underlying causes of war. ❞
❝ i am no stranger to the punishment of gods. ❞
❝ you know who i am, and you know why i’m here. ❞
❝ get up. you get off that stolen throne. ❞
❝ must we always have to take a blasted side in everything? ❞
❝ stand tall and show no weakness. ❞
❝ the bigger they are…the harder they fall. ❞
❝ come on, we all have fantasies. ❞
❝ if i can’t see into the shadows, i’ll cut through. ❞
❝ come to think of it, i’ve never seen you angry. ❞
❝ things were quite recently much worse, and we’ve weathered worse storms. ❞
❝ it’s commonplace to fear what we don’t understand. ❞
❝ truths are only truths if they’re believed. ❞
❝ oh, i don’t get offended…i get even. ❞
❝ the more we wander, the wiser we get, hey? ❞
❝ if you insist on siding against me, then i insist on making you regret it. ❞
❝ appreciate the silence. we will have company any moment now. ❞
❝ for all the dread and despair everywhere i turn, you’ve come to be a welcome sight. ❞
❝ i love you, too, of course, with all my heart and soul. far more than i could ever love myself. ❞
❝ you goddesses, you wield your beauty like a blade. ❞
❝ i may kind of like you, but that won’t stop me from doing what needs to be done. ❞
❝ now, go on, grab yourself a cup and mingle with the crowd. ❞
❝ you have inherited your father’s strength. ❞
❝ all right, all right, i’m going. bye. ❞
❝ there is no fury like that of a parent bereft of their child. ❞
❝ one outcome awaits as you continue down this path. ❞
❝ a small ripple can become a big wave. ❞
❝ ooh, i love a good threat! ❞
❝ you are even more than i imagined. ❞
❝ time drags on when things are bad, goes too quick when things are good.. ❞
❝ were you just…speaking to your own reflection there? ❞
❝ a proper army needs to be driven by glory, if not fear. ❞
❝ about ready to give in? you don’t have the fire. ❞
❝ was that a trace of jealousy? ❞
❝ really? looks like you could use all the aid you can get. ❞
❝ you don’t know who you’re dealing with. ❞
❝ couldn’t resist giving one of your pep talks, huh. ❞
❝ you wish for me to step aside, make me. ❞
❝ my name and business are not your concern. ❞
❝ save your pity for another soul. ❞
❝ please…don’t go telling anyone about this. ❞
❝ how could you be so cruel? ❞
❝ you, who stalks me as a nightmare…begone! ❞
❝ but one small misstep and i shall char you to a crisp. ❞
❝ i live in your nightmares. i thrive on them. ❞
❝ i got us into this, i’ll find a way to get us out, ok? ❞
❝ you’re safe now, you’re all right. ❞
❝ i’ll carve you limb for limb for this. for everything. ❞
