“Achilles might be a good papa to the family, but he was also a killer, and he never forgives.

The important thing is, stay on the good side of God. That's what Helga teaches, isn't it? Stay right with God.
I'll stay right with Achilles. I'll honor my papa, that's for sure, so I can stay alive until I'm old enough to go out on my own.”

The sound was pure and sweet as water, bright as lemons. It was like no music I had ever heard before. It had warmth as a fire does, a texture and weight like polished ivory. It buoyed and soothed at once. A few hairs slipped forward to hang over his eyes as he played. They were fine as lyre strings themselves, and shone.
He stopped, pushed back his hair, and turned to me.
"Now you."
I shook my head, full to spilling. I could not play now. Not ever, if I could listen to him instead.”
