Quote by Elisabeth Wheatley

“You can threaten me. Torture me. Do what you want to me. But there is nothing you can do that will make me betray my son.” She addressed the Kadra’han with a steadiness Thadred couldn’t have managed himself. “We give our lives for our children, not the other way around. That’s something your empress has yet to learn.”

“I watch my loved ones weep with sorrow, death's silent torment of no tomorrow. I feel their hearts breaking, I sense their despair, United in misery, the grief that they share. How do I show that, I am not gone... but the essence of life's everlasting song Why do they wee? Why do they cry? I'm alive in the wind and I am soaring high. I am sparkling light dancing on streams, a moment of warmth in the fays of sunbeams. The coolness of rain as it falls on your face, the whisper of leaves as wind rushes with haste. Eternal Song, a requiem by Avian of Celieria from Crown of Crystal Flame by C.L. Wilson”
