#book 19

[adriles]

The year is 1217 BCE. There's battle tomorrow and your mom just commissioned you a fine set of armor from Lord Hephaestus. Youve been staring at the bloated corpse of Patroclus for 19 hours straight

[twi-quotes]

“Have you ever seen anything more beautiful, Krshia? Tell me honestly.”

“Yes.”

The word made Lism twist in his chair. Krshia looked at the High Passes far overhead. The Floodplains.

“Better than this? Really?”

She looked at him.

“Of course I have, Lism. I have roamed Izril’s south. I have seen wondrous sights. The Walled Cities, flowing grasslands, ponds and forests. And that is nature. I have seen taller walls, grander cities.”

It was all true. But he looked so—hurt. Lism looked across the city and shook his head.

“I have never seen those things. I’ve seen pictures—even walked in Invrisil and Pallass.”

“And?”

He looked back at her.

“How can it be better than the city I love? How can my home not be the most beautiful place in the world?”

~ Lism and Krshia, 7.51

[ID: The meme of Mr. Waternoose from the movie Monsters Inc saying, "I'll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die", now edited so he's saying instead, "I'll allow a thouand children to be tortured before I'll kill a single slave owner and lose my self-appointed moral highground." End ID.]

“We shall still keep you safe this time, O hard Achilleus. And yet the day of your death is near, but it is not we who are to blame, but a great god and powerful Destiny. For it was not because we were slow, because we were careless, that the Trojans have taken the armor from the shoulders of Patroklos, but it was that high god, the child of lovey-haired Leto, who killed him among the champions and gave the glory to Hektor. But for us, we two could run with the blast of the west wind who they say is the lightest of all things; yet still for you there is destiny to be killed in force by a god and a mortal.”

Book 19 of the 50 book challenge. Queen’s Shadow by EK Johnston. The second in the series about Padme, after her time as Queen is over and when she starts being a senator. A really good book and I highly recommend it.

It's all fun, remembering Lucio as usually fighting animals for food etc, but

Didn't Nadia forget every single thing of her palace life? Including being friends with Asra? Or whatever?

Aren't all routes supposed to have a very same income before we are told of how things go and what has changed?

Did it feel natural to you? I felt so out of my skin!
