He went in, lean and deadly, and ended the creature with a lightning-fast spike of his blade. It shrieked, likely altering the rest. The death call carried like a mournful song.
Ann Aguirre
Image
But wishes were empty thoughts, cast down a dark hole. They didn't come true unless you worked for them. I'd learned that about the world, if nothing more.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I’m sick of asking questions everyone else already knows the answers to.
Ann Aguirre
Image
A good huntress respected her partners instincts, even if he was socially ignorant.

How can you miss someone who’s right beside you?
Ann Aguirre
Image
My heart should be breaking, too, but there comes a point when you’re so inured to loss that you no longer feel the lash.
Ann Aguirre
Image
You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination. That would have to do.
