“To keep Velaris safe, to keep Mor and Amren and Cassian and Azriel and鈥� Rhys safe.

I said to Lucien, low and quiet and as vicious as the talons that formed at the tips of my fingers, as vicious as the wondrous weight between my shoulder blades, 鈥淲hen you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.鈥�

A pulse of surprise, of wicked delight against my mental shields, at the dark, membranous wings I knew were now poking over my shoulders. Every icy kiss of rain sent jolts of cold through me. Sensitive鈥攕o sensitive, these Illryian wings.

Lucien backed up a step. 鈥淲hat did you do to yourself?鈥�

I gave him a little smile. 鈥淭he human girl you knew died Under the Mountain. I have no interest in spending immortality as a High Lord鈥檚 pet.鈥�

Lucien started shaking his head. 鈥淔eyre鈥斺€�

鈥淭ell Tamlin,鈥� I said, choking on his name, on the thought of what he鈥檇 done to Rhys, to his family, 鈥渋f he sends anyone else into these lands, I will hunt each and every one of you down. And I will demonstrate exactly what the darkness taught me.鈥�

There was something like genuine pain on his face.

I didn鈥檛 care. I just watched him, unyielding and cold and dark. The creature I might one day have become if I had stayed at the Spring Court, if I had remained broken for decades, centuries鈥� until I learned to quietly direct those shards of pain outward, learned to savor the pain of others.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
