Quote by Fenna Edgewood

“The evidence was there before my eyes, but I could not believe it. I did not want to believe it. It was only when my sister forced the matter that I was compelled to accept the truth—that my wife had been seduced by my best friend, and was with child by him.”

“I lift his chin and gaze into his face, so darkly beautiful, and I lower my mouth to his without a word... Sometimes, there is no need for words. It is not a romantic kiss, but a reassuring one. "You need to let me go, Brian..." "And you, I, Matthias," he says sadly, as I lift my head, and gaze into the eyes of Timothy, my husband, who has silently approached us on foot, sword drawn. As I have just stated, sometimes words are unnecessary. Timothy looks as if the weight of the entire world has fallen upon him. His eyes are wide and solemn, his face, gaunt. One solitary tear trickles down his cheek. His wings drag on the ground, the feathers filthy and dark with mud. "Matthias, how could you?!" he whispers huskily. "You...of all people...betray me, with a...with a kiss?" I open my mouth to protest, but no words emerge. Indeed, what can I say?”

“The Saxons upon the signal “Nemet oure Saxas.” Drew their daggers and fell upon the Briton princes, who little suspected any such design… For they all came without arms having no thoughts of anything but treating peacefully. This gave the others a fairer opportunity of exercising their villainous plot. But the pagans did not escape unpunished; a great number of them were killed during the massacre. For the Britons, taking up clubs and stones, resolutely defended themselves… There was present one Eldol Consul of Gleven who at the sight of this treachery took up a stake, which he happened to find, and with that made his defense. Every blow he gave carried death along with it… until being no longer able to stand his ground against such numbers, he made his escape.”
