Image
Wisdom, Niko thought as he leaned his cheek against his long-handled rake, cannot be had without price.
Janet Morris
Image
Loyalty must be forged - to him, to his: stronger than iron, from experience, from risk - it can't be bought, or taught, or promised before the fact. Allegiance must be earned so it will hold, win or lose.
Janet Morris
Image
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
Janet Morris
Image
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.

Learn what can, and cannot, be asked from destiny.
Janet Morris
Image
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.

I'm reverent from a distance.

Shed your mortal skin and let me take you beneath the waves.

When the balance is restored, people get hurt.
Janet Morris
Image
Always take responsibility for your past. It is your only collateral in life. Unless you despise yourself now, you cannot despise yourself then. Everything you did is a part of the process that brought you here. All your past is as alive and real as your so-called 'present.'

If cities have souls, Sanctuary's was troubled long before Tempus got here, and will be troubled long after he and his are gone.
Janet Morris
Image
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
Janet Morris
Image
Niko's angular face caught a flicker of firelight and Tempus saw his future there: sharp purpose, discipline, and power in perfect balance love of man and gods, and mercy transcending all. If war ever wore a more humane face, this one would make it so.

This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
Janet Morris
Image
Why is it we are always the targets of the angry Fates? Twice as many men of ours met harm as did theirs, since we've come here.
Janet Morris
Image
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Image
Don't blame yourself, or worry. Neither does a bit of good.

Survival has its own etiquette.

You must become like yourself.
