One man can make another's life so much better.
Janet Morris
Image
To take care of the world seemed, finally, a privilege rather than a burden. The Riddler had led them to life's greatest victory. They had found a home.
Janet Morris
Image
Such hubris could only come from a man's mouth.
Janet Morris
Image
Niko, you're halfway to where you need to go. It's the most dangerous time. And all the gods and forces have a stake in you, Hero. Or do you want to be just a memory, a cult somewhere, with people sacrificing horses to your name?

Image
Sometimes a man does what he'd most like to avoid.
Janet Morris
Image
For Tempus...was a dozen storm gods' avatar no army he sanctified could know defeat no war he fought could not be won. Combat was life to him he fought like the gods themselves.

Survival has its own etiquette.

It is hard to battle anger, for whatever it wants it pays from the soul.
Janet Morris
Image
Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.

Each soul has its appointed doom. How is it you dare to raise a mortal boy so high - high enough to flout the gods? Bring godhead where a man may reach out and take it? growls Enlil, and lightning splits a clear blue sky.

Tempus wanders eternally, bringing death to whomever loves him and being spurned by whomsoever he shall love.

Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.

For me, myth is the 'common' language of us all.
Janet Morris
Image
Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.
Janet Morris
Image
There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint.
Janet Morris
Image
Reasons never matter, once Death comes cold and bold and takes the living by the hand. You count up your dead, every one.
Janet Morris
Image
Some nights, valor and cold purpose aren't enough.
Janet Morris
Image
Something is going on everywhere, most of which no one understands.
Janet Morris
Image
Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.
Janet Morris

What we hold sacred is honor, justice, and glory. You need not swear allegiance to our storm god, to serve with us. Fighters are among us from many lands, with many gods and many beliefs. Believe as you will. What is between a man and his god is theirs alone to say.
