And this Atlantean Destroyer is now leading the Daimons and sending them out to battle against Acheron, who is just using us and the humans as cannon fodder to protect himself? Really, Kyros, put down the crack pipe...or go write childrenโs fantasy novels. Iโll bet you even know exactly who conspired to kill Kennedy, huh? Iโm sure the money from D.B. Cooper is what financed your stunning collection of furniture. (Danger)
Sherrilyn KenyonYeah, right. I donโt believe that one for a minute. What do you think? I fell off a turnip truck? (Simone) Honestly? All I was thinking about was how beautiful you are. How much I wanted to feel your skin against mine and how Iโve never been this attracted to a woman before. (Xypher)
Sherrilyn KenyonHow long have you been here? (Jericho) Donโt know. Again, tried to count once, got depressed so I stopped. I find it easier to just go with the flow. Ease with the peas. (Asmodeus) Ease with the peas? (Jericho) Yeah, thatโs not a happy memory, either. Letโs forget I mentioned it. (Asmodeus)
Sherrilyn KenyonIf they canโt survive alone for four days once a year, they deserve to die. (Acheron) Thatโs harsh, for you. (Dante) Harsh? Tell you what, you take my phone and skim through the three thousand phone calls I get every day and night and see how harsh I am. I truly hate modern technology and phones in particular. I havenโt had a full four hours of sleep in over fifty years. โAsh, I broke a toenail, help me. Ash, my head hurts, what should I do?โ (Acheron)
Sherrilyn KenyonShamefully, all of us have wanted revenge on someone at some point for something. I've lived since before man and buffalo roamed this small planet. I have survived the beginning, bloom, and death of countless enemies, civilizations, and people. And the one truth I have learned most during all of these centuries is the old Japanese proverb. If you sit by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy float by.
Sherrilyn KenyonAlright then, let's explain it this way. There are four basic kinds of Daimons or vampires; bloodsuckers, soulsuckers, energy/dreamsuckers, and slayers. (Talon) You guys are the slayers. (Amanda) (Hunter snorted) What? Were you born with a remote in your hand? (Kyrian)
Sherrilyn KenyonYou told me once, long ago, to look into a mirror and see your face. I refused to then. But now Mnimi has forced me to look at my own reflection. Iโve seen it through my eyes and Iโve seen it through yours. I wish to the gods that I could change what happened between us. If I could go back, I would never deny you. But I canโt. We both know that. Now I just want the chance to know you as I should have known you all those centuries ago. (Styxx)
