A Destiny of Dragons Quotes

“Later, after the King was gone with a kiss to my forehead, Justin and I remained. We didn’t say anything for a long time. Surprisingly, he spoke first. “I didn’t feel the same way when you first came.” I snorted. “I know.” “I didn’t like you. In fact, I hated you. I still do sometimes.” “I know that too.” “You have to come back.” I looked up, startled, only to find Justin looking more vulnerable, more determined than I’d ever seen him before. “What?” “You have to come back. You have to be safe and come back and be my Wizard. I could do this without you. I know I could. I am smart. And I can be kind. Sometimes. My father has taught me well. I’ve learned a lot in the past year. I can do this without you. But I don’t want to. The King of Verania needs his Wizard. It’s how it’s always been. So come back, and in one piece, or I swear to the gods, I am going to put you in the dungeon where you’ll poop in buckets for the rest of your days. Do you hear me?”

“You thought I was what… young? Stupid? Naïve, I think you said.” I took a step toward her. She stood her ground. “I have seen things in this life that defy logic. I have stretched the boundaries of my magic more than you can possibly imagine. I have done things in the name of the people I love and would do so again without regret. And even if the dark man comes for me, even if he tries to take from me, I will have my family at my side fighting with me, for me, every step of the way. And there is nothing you or Ruv or your people can say that would change my mind. Ryan Foxheart is my godsdamned cornerstone. I won’t let anything happen to him. You say you’ve seen the paths I will walk? Fuck you. Because I’m about to blaze my own fucking path, and you won’t even see me coming. “Insolence,” she breathed as the throne room began to crack around us. The runes on my skin began to itch and burn, but I didn’t look away from her. “You would risk everything?” “For them? For him?” I didn’t even have to think about it. “Yes. Because they would do the same for me. We are better together than we ever will be apart. We are bound to each other. And nothing, nothing, will change that. Not you. Not the Dark. Not anything.” The roof cracked overhead as she said, “It would seem I have underestimated you.” I snorted. “No shit. Maybe next time, don’t come in here pimping a half-naked guy when I already have someone’s junk to play with. Not cool, Grandma. Not fucking cool.”

“¿Estás seguro de que no quieres saberlo? ¿Ni siquiera un poquito? —Sam, si no me llevas de vuelta al castillo en este instante, me aseguraré de que seas miserable el resto de nuestras vidas. Mi corazón se hinchó. Fue inevitable. Dio un paso atrás. —Qué. ¿Por qué me miras así? ¿Como si estuvieras teniendo sentimientos? Necesitaba abrazarlo mucho. —Porque —dije, dando un paso hacia él—. Acabas de decir que querías que me sintiera miserable por el resto de nuestras vidas. Como si viviéramos largos y miserables años juntos. Siempre. Como mejores amigos.”
