“To be kin to a dragon, you must not only have a soul of water. You must have the blood of the sea, and the sea is not always pure. It is not any one thing. There is darkness in it, and danger, and cruelty. It can raze great cities with its rage. Its depths are unknowable; they do not see the touch of the sun. To be a Miduchi is not to be pure, Tané. It is to be the living sea. That is why I chose you. You have a dragon’s heart.” DragonsThe Priory Of The Orange TreeTanéNayimathun Book:The Priory of the Orange Tree Source: The Priory of the Orange Tree
“You are a servant of the Nameless One. Oh, nothing as exciting as that, Lady Tané. Just a lonely old man, trying to get off this island so I can die in my own country.” The Priory Of The Orange TreeNiclays RoosTané Book:The Priory of the Orange Tree Source: The Priory of the Orange Tree
