These Twisted Bonds

None of us asks for the burdens we bear, but that doesn't make the way we handle them any less significant.

Those of us who love the night revel in it because of how clearly it allows us to find even the smallest points of light. Whereas they deny that darkness exists, even while the sun they worship throws shadows in every corner.

You're no princess. You're my queen.

Personal sacrifice is what makes great kings. They're willing to give up what they want for themselves in exchange for what's best for their people.

In a different world, in a different life, we'd be together," I whisper. "No kingdoms to rule, no people to save, just you and me and a simple life loving each other.""But we're in this world. In this life." He presses a kiss to the top of my head, and it feels like goodbye. "So I'll have to save that for my dreams.

I shouldn't feel this way, but feelings very rarely care about should and shouldn't.

I am just as selfish as the males who loved Queen Gloriana. I don’t want pieces of you. I want all of you, and I won’t share.

Emotions aren't allways that simple,they are not limited by what we should or should not feel.

Well...What did love do for us, other than ruin our plans?

Don't blame yourself for the cracks of a world that was distroyed far before you were born.

...I know a good soul when I see one, and good souls are never alone for too long.

She’s been so quiet, I almost forgot she was here. I wonder how much she learns simply because others forget she’s present.

There is only one thing I can trust, and that is that no one can be trusted.

I don't belive love is about what we deserve.

-I'm ok.-You're not, but you'll be.

This isn’t just a kiss. It’s all the words we haven’t said written with our mouths, with our bodies. It’s unbridled anger and hope and fear and lust—all woven together and electrified.

I don't know how to decide who to trust in this realm, but you can learn a lot from the way someone treats those weaker than they are, those who have nothing to offer them.

But there is another part of you. Your shadow self. And it has power.

It's the only thing that blocks out this other feeling- this anguish and frustration that belongs to the one I love. The male I'm bonded to forever. The one who lied to me, who betrayed me.

Our love, my child, its what makes us worthy to rule, but, at the same time, it also makes us evil.

Attraction is such a strange thing! It's like we don't even have a word to say about this. Just...boom!

It never takes you long to forgive him, does it?

Don't loose your darkness out of sight! Let it serve the light!

I told him I don't care, but we both know that's not true. I care more than I want to.

...never let yourself fooled by the thought that love is enough.

None of us asks for the burdens we bear, but that doesn’t make the way we handle them any less significant.

I am not just the girl who understands, I am the one who wants better.The anger and pain unfurls inside me until it hurts worse than the toxin, until it's bigger than my body and darker than the shadows. My shadow self brushes her fingertips over the charred edges of my heart and smiles. Too many years of silence. Too many years of pushing aside my own pain to take care of someone else. This part of me is just as valid as the rest.

- En otro mundo, en otra vida, estaríamos juntos. No habría reinos que gobernar ni gente a la que salvar. Seríamos tan solo tú y yo, llevando una vida sencilla y amándonos mutuamente.- Pero estamos en este mundo, en esta vida. Así que deberé conformarme con mis sueños.- Abriella y Finn

You thought you were dreaming? What else do we do in your dreams?

Ambriella, Every star in that sky shines for you.
