Quotes[edit | edit source]

Volume 1[edit | edit source]

  • (To Erin) “Or inflict other forms of bodily or mental harm upon you.”
  • (To Erin) “I will accept the pasta and water as well. But may I inquire if you have any bugs?”
  • (To Olesm) “My apologies, Olesm Swifttail. I had forgotten you were with us.”
  • (To Erin) “Have you not heard it said? The Antinium never truly die.”
  • (To Erin) “Greetings, Erin Solstice. May I come in?”

Volume 2[edit | edit source]

  • (To Ksmvr & Pawn) “I regard this night as a positive outcome on the whole, even in light of the failure of the rxlvn. I will make our apologies tomorrow to the others.”
  • (To Erin) “If I told you not to go, I believe you would. You and Relc share the same tendencies.”
  • (To Ksmvr) “Protect Erin and those she travels with. Her life is more important than yours. If she is harmed or dies, I will see you deconstructed.”
  • (Thoughts) Some days he could not bear to see her as she was. He remembered when she had been smaller, and the first time she had walked through the tunnels of the Hive. But now she was bloated, obscenely huge, grand and horrible and beautiful all at once.
  • (To Ryoka) "The Antinium Wars? What Drakes and Humans and Gnolls fear so? They were setbacks. Dust. The true disaster occurred on the oceans when we lost our entire people. Even now, we are a fraction of what we were.”
  • (To Ryoka) “We fled from a God, Ryoka Griffin. There is a God buried in Rhir. And it is trying to wake up.”

Volume 3[edit | edit source]

  • (To Pawn) “I do not know. Surprise me. Or pray for an idea. That is your Skill, is it not?”
  • (To Zel) “Yes. I have come to kill you. If you die, the Antinium will triumph here.”
  • (To Zel) “It is how we fight to survive, Drake. When we do battle, you will know the difference.”
  • (To Free Queen) “You have done well, my Queen. You and the others. You rebuilt with what you had; I cannot begrudge that. I only regret that I was too weak to finish the battle on Rhir. It is myself I blame.”
  • (To Erin) “Friends. How are friends created? How does friendship work? How do you make friends?”
  • (To Erin) “I believe I understand. If that is the case, anyone may be your friend. So then you care about everyone.”
  • (To Relc) “He is not my friend. He killed two of the beings I called friend. Two of my comrades fell at his claws, never to rise again.”
  • (To Zel) “What my kind does is our affair, Zel Shivertail. It may be there is no Dragon and that I am simply tricking you. As I recall, you fell quite easily for such tricks during the war.”

Volume 4[edit | edit source]

  • (To Xrn) “I prefer not to guess. Speculative statements are a time-consuming endeavor that I attempt to refrain from partaking in. You remind me of my partner in that regard.”
  • (To the Individual Workers) “Very…good. Unexpectedly good. Carry on. I will relay this to the Queen. I do not doubt she will be very…well, good.”
  • (To Belgrade) “There is not much to say. We charged. They held. We charged again. Still they held. And then we charged a third time and they broke. That was all there was to it.”
  • (To Antinium) “Antinium. Listen well. This is the tale of the first battle of the Antinium Wars. This is the tale…of how I met your Queen.”
  • (To Xrn) “Oath breakers! They violated the peace treaty! And they are about to flood the Queen out. Xrn, we must launch a full-scale attack.”
  • (To Antinium) “Antinium! The enemy is attempting to slay a Queen! They are destroying the Hive! They must be stopped! Follow me! Give no ground to our foe! Charge!
  • (To Erin) “No. I believe I stabbed him in the chest before our forces separated us. With this sword.”
  • (To Erin) “Or was it this one? I cannot recall.”

Volume 5[edit | edit source]

  • (To Relc) “My ‘stupid Hive’ is well-attended in my absence, yes. Although I resent the implication.”
  • (To Relc) “By saying ‘we’, are you referring to you and I as Senior Guardsmen, the four of us present in the graveyard, or the entire group including Watch Captain Zevara and Miss Solstice?”
  • (To Relc) “Hmm. I believe in our case we would both be fired or forced to resign instantly, be court martialed, perhaps imprisoned and potentially be executed.”

Volume 6[edit | edit source]

  • (To Relc) “Because they are a [Builder]’s blueprints. Not a sketch. I believe I should also call you a fool. Fool.”
  • (To Lyon) “No thanks are needed. I am merely performing my duty as a [Guardsman]…and as a Revalantor of the Hive, apparently.”
  • (To Erin) “The desire to create a pancake has never occurred within me in my entire life.”

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

  • (Toasting) “To the Centenium of the True Antinium. To the Antinium of Rhir!
  • (To Erin) “They were never designed to be people. I am a weapon. One that thinks and lives and changes as I must. But I was made for one purpose. And I will fulfill it, even if it means laboring for ten thousand years. Even if it means my oblivion. I despaired until I met you, Erin Solstice. You gave me hope. Solved the puzzle I had searched for. Salvation for my people.”
  • (To Erin) “You do not know us. This is not Aberration in True Antinium. ThIS iS raGe.
  • (To Pawn) “I will slay God.”
  • (To Anand) “When you walk among the Antinium, remember we were more. Remind them of that.”
  • (To Saliss) “You…don’t appear to be trying to kill me as badly as Wrymvr. Despite being able to.”
  • (To Saliss) “I left Liscor, but somehow she followed me even to war with Drakes. But Erin Solstice helped me reclaim my strength. If you won’t fight me—”
  • (To Saliss) “Then we are two of a kind. I thought so.”

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

  • (To Wrymvr) “Wrymvr, I must ask you to sing to Anand to alleviate his fears that you do not care for his life on a personal level. Also, because he is growing depressed.
  • (To Wrymvr):
    • “…Why is Ksmvr in Chandrar? Why is he being interviewed by Humans and associating with Garuda? Finally. Why are you showing me this? Wrymvr?”
    • “But that is—my sword style! He cannot inherit it! That is mine!

Volume 9[edit | edit source]

  • (To Liscor's City Watch):
    • “Yes. I hope I may come back here as well. Even if I am not an officer of the Watch. I would like that. I—would like to go on patrol some days and drink with you all and talk to you. I must go—and I do not want to. This place is not my Hive.”
    • “—But I wish it could have been part of my Hive on Rhir. I think I would have been happiest of all if both things existed. I am going to avenge my first home. If I should survive, along my long journey—I hope I can come back to my second home.”
  • (To Vetn) "Curious."
  • (To Vetn) “[Recaptured Sublimity]. You were very quick. I used to be quicker.”
  • (To Vetn and Bviora) “I know both your faces. I am a former Guardsman, and the Antinium will never let you steal my blades. I am being very nice. What were you thinking? There is nowhere you can run that I cannot find you.”
  • (To Erin) “Erin? Your friend Vetn stole my sword. I am going to, with respect to your guests—murder him.
  • (To Erin, about Vetn) “One of them is Erin’s guest. She gets petty about her guests getting killed. I may chop the hand off the other one. She had a crystal hand which used the Skill.”
