“Night and day rule from their two thrones,
Where the darkest hour and the brightest light meet
the Hellmouth shall be crossed
by she strengthened under the gift of day,
by she liberated with the gift of light.
And the world is whole again.
But the Cruel Kingdom hungers for a sacrifice.
Sacrifice overthrows chaos.
Sacrifice is necessary
for what was two to become one.
Test your worth; offer
to her, Inanna’s immortality.
She will grieve endlessly for the sister
Who slumbers in the house of the dead,
but her tears will save us all.
And until the Gates of Death and Life interwine,
Love continues to be the toll.
And she will pay.
She will pay.”

“Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. Around any corner, there's a promise of something daring and ideal and things are just getting going. There's something obscenely joyful behind every door, either that or somebody crying with their head in in their hands. A lazy rhythm looms in the dreamy air and the atmosphere pulsates with bygone duels, past-life romance, comrades requesting comrades to aid them in some way. You can't see it, but you know it's there”

She felt nothing at all.”
