AvisRara22 октября 2018 г.— Люди отвечают на доброту, Лада. Они верят улыбке больше, чем обещанию, что ты заставишь их поперхнуться собственной кровью и умереть.
Лада фыркнула.
— Да, но мое обещание искреннее твоих улыбок.195
RamingoWS28 сентября 2018 г."I am no longer the daughter of the dragon." She lifted her chin, sights set on the horizon. "I am the dragon."

"These are lives, Lada," Radu said. "How can you speak of them like they are matters of simple mathematics, a problem to be solved?"
Lada stood, a hand to her side against the pain of her wound. "Because thinking like that is the only way to keep from losing our minds."
"What about our souls?" Mehmed whispered.
Before Lada walked out, she paused at the door. "Souls and thrones are irreconcilable."182 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.
"Was he the first man you have killed?"
"No. But he was the first one I murdered."174 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.
"They killed Mircea as well."
"Poor Mircea. I am certain that must have upset him."173 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.
"The price of living seems to always be death."
Tohin stood, joints popping audibly. "And that is why you become a dealer of death. You feed death as many people as you can to keep it full and content so its eye stays off you."170 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.Читать далее
"Perhaps that is what I need. Maybe if I went to Mecca, if I saw it..."
Kumal smiled kindly. "Someday you will go, and your life will be blessed for it. But it will not fix you — all your troubles will still be here, waiting. First you should strive to find peace where you are, and then you can make the pilgrimage to celebrate that peace."
Radu shook his head. "I do not know where peace can be found in this city."
"That is your problem, then. Peace is not to be found in this city, or any city. Not even Mecca. Peace is to be found here." He pointed to Radu`s heart.
Radu put a hand over his chest, feeling the beat of his life beneath it. The pulse that thrummed for so long to the nam of Mehmed. "I think my heart is the problem."175 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.Читать далее
"You will never be one of us," he said, putting his face right above hers so she could look nowhere else as he wrenched her tunic up and grabbed for her underclothes.
She slammed her head into his nose. In his momentary distraction, she pushed up, knocking him off-balance enough to free one leg. She brought it between his, and he howled in pain, rolling of her. He pushed himself to his feet, and Lada jumped on his back, fastening her legs around his waist and wrapping her arm around his throat. She grabbed her own wrist, pulling the arm tighter. Ivan staggered backward, slamming her into a tree, but she held tight. He clawed at her arm, trying to get a good enough grip to yank it away. She slammed her heel down into his stomach and groin, three sharp jabs.
Finally, he stumbled forward, falling to his knees.
"I am not one of you," Lada said, her mouth right next to his ear. "I am better."177 - RamingoWS27 сентября 2018 г.
"How did you know where I was?" she asked, disappointed and thrilled in equal measure.
Mehmed`s laugh was a silent exhalation. "This is the best area of the garden tactically. Your back is protected, but you have an open view of everything going on, while remaining hidden. Of course you are here."165
