“Then what of Savette? She’s still too full of magic. What about Rakturan? Your comrades will happily kill him if you don’t stop them. What about Hubric? Did you not swear to him? None of us can do everything, spider. Crushing yourself under responsibilities that aren’t yours is not wise.”
― Sarah K.L. Wilson, Dusk Covenant

“No, I wasn’t going to think about that. I didn’t think about it through the long hours of flight. I didn’t think about it as the sun came up – finally – on the horizon, bathing me in gold and hope. I didn’t think of it when Hubric signaled a weary stop and we landed exhaustedly next to a pond in a rolling field of grass.

But honestly, how did you stop thinking about something like that? I’d been so close to having something I’d wanted all my life. I’d been so close to getting what I didn’t even believe was possible.”

I really hoped that was some sort of dragon legend and not something true. It sounded awful.

― Sarah K.L. Wilson, First Message

“Like I said, there are layers. People might agree with the principles but there’s more to it. Maybe they finally find a place with the true believers – a place they never had before with anyone else. Maybe the ideals, while not that important to them, open up paths to success or honor that weren’t open to them before. Maybe they get power they didn’t have. Maybe it just makes them feel good to rub other people’s faces in the dirt or feel like they’re somehow in the right or cleverer than their neighbors, or to rebel – not against anything, just to rebel in general. People are strange. In that buzz of thoughts and wants any one thing could be the controlling impulse that launches them down a path you can’t turn back from.”
― Sarah K.L. Wilson, First Message

Even the long life of a dragon is not enough to teach everything that is. Be content with what you have while always learning anything you are offered.”

“Not everyone is willing to break the rules and customs like I am. But I say that customs are made to serve us, we are not made to serve customs.

― Sarah K.L. Wilson, First Message

“It would be so much easier if I could just be a student instead of always a pawn in a bigger game – and I had no illusions. I was no center of the storm. I was no rook or bishop. I was a pawn and nothing more.”

The only bulwark against the dark
Watch as the arches declare
Dominion of Light.””

Judgment and Wisdom borne by the flow of spirit to spirit,
Do not speak to us of the times that follow,
For they shall be as a dream of death as a nightmare walking,
The dusk shall vanquish all but the covenant until the dawn of the tide.””

To save the morning light.’”
