It's really not as bad as it sounds. I was attacked by a shark once, back when I was alive. Well, not so much a shark as a rather large fish. And not so much attacked as looked at menacingly. But it had murder in its eyes, that fish. I knew, in that instant, if our roles had been reversed and the fish had been holding the fishing pole and I had been the one to be caught, it wouldn't hesitate a moment before eating me. So I cooked it and ate before it had a chance to turn the tables.
Derek LandyWe punch people, Valkyrie. Thatโs who we are. Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed.
Derek LandyI need a weapon,โ Valkyrie muttered. โYouโre an Elemental with a Necromancer ring, trained in a variety of martial arts by some of the best ๏ฌghters in the world,โ Skulduggery pointed out. โIโm fairly certain that makes you a weapon.โ โI mean a weapon you hold. You have a gun, Tanith has a sword... I want a stick.โ โIโll buy you a stick for Christmas.
Derek LandyThis book is dedicated to you. Whether you are a Minion or a Skuttlebug or just, you know, a normal person, itโs because of you that I get to do what I love and laughingly call it work. I know some of you by name and some of you by sight (and some of you by smell, but letโs not get into that) but there are still countless others I have never met, and to all of you I say thank you for your support, your passion, and your lunacy.
Derek LandyThat's beautiful,' Valkyrie said, looking at it. Isn't it? This necklace has cost two very fine men their lives. At times, I wear it in tribute to their sacrifice. Other times, I wear it because it goes with this skirt.
