Volume 7[edit | edit source]

(To Eliasor) “Yes. It has been too long since we have walked among the little ones. Tell me your grief, child. Then—abandon it.”
(To Wuvren) “Oh, you love so well! So freely! You are more than a delight, milady! You dance half as well as some of my court! Across time and space! Old and young!”
(To Ryoka) “Sit. Before you speak, mortal, sit a while. You have words for me, which I will hear. My kin are displeased, but they should have expected naught else from you. I expect nothing at all. So sit. This company promises to entertain me for a moment.”
(To Ieka, Mavika, Ryoka and Zedalien) “Come, sit! Each of you, for but a moment will entertain. A lady of this land who stole all she possesses. A witch who has forgotten her oaths! An intruder who disappoints my kin, yet has their friendship and speaks to the wind! And the son of whores.”
(To Ryoka) “Yes. I know Ivolethe, the name she gave you, friend of the wind. Intruder. I know why you have come here. I know what you seek. But first—we shall dine, as is fitting. You have not eaten or drunk at this moment. Such things must be done at any party.”
(To Ryoka and Zedalien) “You do so with every breath you draw. As do you, whoreson. The other two, less such. But I am a guest! Ignore my words.”
(To Zedalien) “I did not insult your mother. I insult you. Your mother. Your kin. Your entire race upon this world. If you would challenge me, I would gladly break every rule of hospitality and tear you to pieces before departing. Sit down.”
(To Mavika) “On the day your craft ends and the last of witches draw breath, make your choice. And for those who will it, I will open this world’s gate. That is my promise if you cannot avert your fate. Now go.”
To Ryoka:
- “Enough. That is more than I expected. It was worth coming, this day. For this party, this moment alone, I thank you, Ryoka Griffin.”
- “Some come only for merriment’s sake. And that is I. Nor will I help you break any rules.”
- “I am of the Faerie King’s court. Did you think I would break his rules so lightly, mortal?”
- “Ah, mortal girl. Windfriend. Favored of the Winter Court. You are a foolish one. You ask three where most would not dare one. You ask for gifts far beyond what you could ever give or pay for. And you would overturn the will of the King of the Fae.”
- “Since I am bound by the old ways. I say one more thing. You have reason. You have…right.”
- “But you do not have my consent. And I will fight your boon to the last. So. Persuade me. Give me one more reason.”
- “He would be wroth with me, if you succeeded. If thou wish’st to dare enter the land of fables, thou surely must create legend themselves. Show me the will that would defy your disgusting world. Or die.”
To Ylawes:
- “Why should I match blades against a foe who cannot trouble me? I do not defend my honor, or seek the thrill of worthy foes. I only desire to humble Ryoka Griffin. So no. You have nothing to offer me, nor any other. Ryoka Griffin will not leave. Unless…”
- “Well done, boy! Timeless bravery! Timeless foolishness!”
(To Durene) “Child, for kinship, I tell you do not try. I mean my every word.”
(To everyone) “This world does entertain!”
(To Durene) “You tried well, little one. With creativity. But did you think you could overturn stories so easily? Ah—my turn. Gentleness, for the mortal mingling as rare as yours.”
(To Laken) “Mortal man. Do not allow them entry. Deny nothing! Deny it!”
(To Fae Warriors) “Warriors. To arms! Nothing has dared to enter this place. On this day. So nothing dies.”
To the Strangers:
- “You dare to show your craven forms after all this time? You dare to test the might of the fae? On this day? In this place?”
- “There shall be naught for you! Nothing to feed on! Nor anything shall remain! I see you. I remember your names!”
To Oberon:
- “We uphold our oaths. We will never forget! My liege! My king. I call your name. Oberon! Oberon!”
- “I am so sorry. I tried to make an end to it. But we cannot return. Each one of us becomes a weapon against you. Each blade, each piece of us—”

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

(To Ivolethe) “Not for friendship! Not for fate! Nevermore, I said. Nevermore.”
(To everyone) “Agreed, Ivolethe. If it must be done, let it be done! More was done that day, and not all ill. This, though, this interference? The petition? We shall hear it now and be done. Especially that one, who violated the hospitality of guests.”
(To Sikeri) “Do not answer to me. Answer to him. I call on the judgement of the Faerie King. Oberon!”
