PROPHET

“Today just isn’t your day, is it?”

“We don’t want your kind here.”

“Tell me where he is and I’ll be on my way.”

“You don’t give the orders around here.”

“Kill him with your bare hands if you have to.”

“You’re not scared of us, are ya?”

“Can you not leave it alone for a moment?”

“[name] can’t be trusted.”

“I’m not speaking to you.”

“I apologize for my man’s interference in your day.”

“Hopefully he can improve his behavior by tomorrow.”

“Beer for my friend here and one for me.”

“I am speaking to you now, good sir.”

“My mother, god rest her, would be mortified.”

“It’s hard to make a living on main roads.”

“And you desperately need money for new clothes.”

“More and more, I find monsters wherever I go.”

“I killed a rat this morning with my breakfast fork.”

“It had been shitting in our pantry for days.”

“You mentioned coin.”

“You don’t scare me.”

“He’s willing to pay for odds and ends he needs for elixirs.”

“Have you ever killed a succubus? A striga, werewolf, she-wolf?”

“I think that makes you a hero.”

“She says you’re the offspring of foul sorcery, a diabolic creature, a filthy degenerate born of hell.”

“I don’t know where that is, but I could learn, if you’d let me.”

“Which is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Yes, well, forgive the confusion.”

“This is my own creation. Helps pass time more delightfully.”

“Not often we see your likeness here.”

“Not many of my likeness left.”

“I’d offer you my condolences, but I seem to remember that your kind don’t feely anything.”

“I’m grateful destiny brought you to me.”

“She works for me now and then, on matters of great import.”

“You don’t want my monster. You want me to kill yours.”

“Could use a bit of feel-ty myself right now.”

“If you can’t win a game of knucklebones for fear of a few horses..”

“At least you didn’t shit your kecks.”

“Is it too much to ask that you exercise a modicum of respect??”

“Destiny has many faces.”

“My destiny, for example, is beautiful on the outside but hideous on the inside.”

“Wizards are all the same.”

“You talk nonsense while making wise and meaningful faces.”

“Doesn’t rhyme. All good predictions rhyme.”

“Eliminating these women was the lesser evil.”

“They could’ve drowned entire kingdoms in blood.”

“Do you consider me a fool?”

“Do you think I did not conduct research?”

“And now no man can defy her, it’s said.”

“She’s chased me for years, bent on revenge.”

“She possesses the power to destroy us all.”

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling –– it’s all the same.”

“I haven’t only done good in my life either.”

“If I have to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

“Pretty ballads hide bastard truths.”

“As in life, it is impossible always be to be fully prepared for battle.”

“Thank you for allowing our company at this splendid affair.”

“Would you honor me with a dance?”

“Let her enjoy this night in peace. It may be her last for awhile.”

“I stole rather than starve, killed rather than be killed.”

“I will take down anyone in my way.”

“Here I am trying to convince you I’m not a monster.”

“When I hate someone for stealing my whole life from me, I kill him.”

“People call you a monster, too.”

“Why not kill them?”

“Then I am what they say I am.”

“You’re resentful of that burden.”

“You are both incredibly boring.”

“You know cautionary tales don’t work on me.”

“The apple never falls far from the tree.”

“When I go, it will be far more dramatic than this.”

“Want to hear about my first monster?”

“It took two strikes to kill him. They weren’t clean, but they were spectacular.”

“I thought the world needed me, too.”

“You don’t believe in destiny or the lesser evil.”

“What do you believe in?”

“I don’t pick sides, I just kill monsters.”

“Destiny may yet side with us.”

“In the face of the inevitable, good leaders should always choose mercy.”

“In the future, you will be wise to do the same.”

“Continue to be brave.”

“You are destined for great things.”

“I can’t do this without you.”

“I’ve been protected my whole life, why?”

“You say you can’t choose, but you had to.”

“You’ll never know if you were right.”

“She gave us a message to pass on to you.”

“I will kill everyone here until he comes down.”

“Magic doesn’t work on me.”

“They created me just as they created you.”

“We’re not so different.”

“If you touch a single hair on her head, yours will be on the ground next.”

“Have you gone mad?”

“She got to you too, didn’t she.”
