“You can't leave us all here to die, Alina!' the Darkling shouted. 'If you take this step, you know where it will lead.' I felt a hysterical laugh burble up inside me. I knew. I knew it would make me more like him. 'You begged me for clemency once,' he called over the dead reaches of the Fold, over the hungry shrieks of the horrors he had made. 'Is this your idea of mercy?' Another bullet hit the sand, only inches from us. Yes, I thought as the power rose up inside me, the mercy you taught me.” — Leigh Bardugo
