CONSTABLE

“All I had were questions. But questions get you killed.”

“Are you afraid of god?”

“Do you think…it’s possible to redeem the kind of things that we’ve done?”

“Give a man a little power; he falls in all kinds of love with himself.”

“Go back to when he was born…and I’ll smother the son of a b*tch in his crib.”

“Hello yourself. Keep your hands where I can see them.”

“I appreciate a lady who appreciates VALUUUE!”

“I made it very clear that I don’t believe in the exercise.”

“I’m not going on any walk with you. Your reputation is well established.”

“If I get caught, it’s gonna be a very long time before we see each other.”

“If we don’t watch out, we’re going to find ourselves in a kind of trouble you’ve never imagined.”

“If you’re going to be a sore loser, then I shan’t do this again.”

“Lives. Lived. Will live. Dies. Died. Will die.”

“My debts were many. My options were few.”

“Odd isn’t it? The way we finish each other’s sentences…”

“One doesn’t expect one’s corpse to look so…. lifeless.”

“Stop asking what when the delicious question is when.”

“The only difference between past and present is semantics.”

“There’s a world of difference between what we see, and what is.”

“Time rots everything. Even hope.”

“We swim in different oceans but land on the same shore.”

“What I do, I do for love! What lion does not cringe to see their cub in pain?”

“What is this place? What are you planning to do to me?”

“What’s done is done. What’s done…WILL be done.”

“When the body cries out, the spirit listens.”

“With just a whisper, they’re all yours.”

“You don’t want to be here when he gets here.”

being completely immersed into a book as if you’re watching a movie

being able to study for a long time without being distracted

wandering upon a scent that reminds you of a distant memory from your childhood that you haven’t smelled for years and years

the freedom of letting yourself do something badly (like art or learning) and knowing you’re progressing every day

being completely happy despite the bad things because you remember every little good thing and kind person in your life

stargazing in a remote landscape and feeling existentially precious and insignificant at the same time

waking up early enough to see the darkness turn to sunrise 

finding someone who is radiant in every way

being consistent with a goal you’ve been working on for the longest time and seeing the finished result

Brows furrowed, expression hidden by a half mask of blue and white and the Templar dipped his head.

❝My apologies - it seems I’ve made a bad habit out of letting others borrow my words,❞ Aderyn makes a point to fiddle the decorative armor she donned; fingering the silk belt that hung at her waist while her royal colored hues shift away from the Templar to stare down idle recruits who had gravitated towards each other. They looked like sheep who had found themselves in a lion’s den — and the scoff that had been building inside of her finally forces itself through her teeth. A recruit notices the shimmer of blue from the Constable’s hip and looks up at her from the ground floor with weepy eyes, mouthing gaping open then shut as he tries to express his anxiety, but finding the courage not to as Aderyn raises her chin — it’s not quite the nod he wanted, but it’s enough affirmation that she even acknowledged him that his shoulders lift with the deep breath he takes before his attention flits back to his comrades, just as Aderyn’s returned to Arteus.

❛ This is our eternity. ❜

❛ I was never good enough. ❜

❛ Will you be the death of me? ❜

❛ I’ve been drowning in questions, over and over again. ❜

❛ Just look at me and say goodbye. ❜

❛ I know you’re by my side. ❜

❛ The only promise I could make you is that my promise is a lie. ❜

❛ I don’t know how I’ll get through this. ❜

❛ My beautiful liar, why are you crying? ❜

❛ I love you for always driving me insane. ❜

❛ Can I give you just a taste? ❜

❛ I don’t need you to save me. ❜

❛ You’re dangerous, so keep your distance. ❜

❛ I’ll tell you exactly what you want. Teach you to behave. ❜

❛ Come on, inside my room. ❜

❛ I would walk through flames for you. ❜

❛ And in your hate, I find love. ❜

❛ I’m not gonna change. So stay out of my way. ❜

❛ Can we run away now and hide from tomorrow? ❜

❛ These voices are killing me. ❜

❛ All my life I was afraid to die but now I come alive. ❜

❛ It’s been a beautiful tragedy. ❜

❛ We wanted peace but you brought this war. ❜

❛ I’ll be the best you ever had. ❜

❛ You’ll never know what it is you’ve done to me. ❜

❛ We’re not gonna stop tonight. We’re gonna burn this city down. ❜

❛ I know that I can survive this. ❜

❛ I don’t want to wake from this. ❜

❛ You know where to meet me and you know just what I need. ❜

❛ Don’t try and stop me now. ❜

❛ I’m so tired of you telling me how to live and what I should not be. ❜

❛ Take me away tonight, just me with you. ❜

❛ Let me hear you scream. ❜

❛ I crave excess, turning wine into sweat dripping down my neck. ❜

❛ You’re cutting into me. ❜

❛ There’s just something about you. It feeds the addict in me. ❜

❛ It’s haunting, that hold that you have over me. ❜

❛ Release me from these memories. ❜

❛ Let me tell you how I want it. ❜

❛ I know how this will end so I’m turning away now. ❜

❛ Why does fear dominate when all we want is peace? ❜

❛ I’m only here for one thing. ❜

❛ You and me. We’re gonna be alright. ❜

❛ There’s a look in your eyes, I know just what that means. ❜

❛ I feel you growing closer. I feel you in the air. ❜

❛ These memories run through my veins. ❜

❛ You never once have doubted me. ❜

❛ I’m the person you’ve been thinking about. The one thing you can’t live without. ❜

❛ The strong will fight and the weak will run. ❜

❛ You love me for everything you hate me for. ❜

❛ I found a world where we are free. ❜

❛ You know I’m always there with you. ❜

❛ I love the way you dominate and you violate me. ❜

❛ It’s true, I was waiting for a sign. ❜

❛ You won’t forget me. I will haunt you until the truth unfolds. ❜

❛ I’m the one that you need and fear. ❜

❛ Tell me why we’re lying here on the floor. ❜

❛ I am falling down the rabbit hole. ❜

❛ Endless days and nights I wait for you. ❜

❛ You’re so pretty, dripping sin. ❜

❛ I’m just what you need, the perfect disease. ❜

❛ You don’t know how hard I fought to survive. ❜

❛ I still believe in the good and I still believe in the light. ❜

❛ You left me there alone. ❜

❛ I’ll have you down on your knees. I’ll have you begging for more. ❜

❛ I was my own worst enemy. ❜

❛ Take me, pull me all around. Break me, I’m yours. ❜

❛ I’ll taste you until I can’t. ❜

❛ You’re beautiful and sick like me. ❜

❛ I want you biting down on me. ❜

❛ You’ll still love me. Dead or alive. ❜

❛ I am the misery you crave and you, you are my faithful enemy. ❜

❛ I’m yours to have and to hold. ❜

❛ No matter where you run, you cannot hide from me. ❜

❛ Is it sick of me to need control of you? ❜

❛ Even in these chains, you can’t stop me. ❜

❛ What I would give just to be with you. ❜

❛ I thank you for the moments of your life. And never giving up on me. ❜

❛ You run through my veins. ❜

❛ Stay the fuck out of my head! ❜

❛ There’s nothing I won’t do to show you, I would sacrifice my dying breath for you. ❜

❛ Let me sleep away these memories within. ❜

❛ Shut your dirty, dirty mouth. ❜

❛ Baby, go ahead. I’ll be the villain you can blame. ❜

❛ Hello, are you listening? Can you hear me? ❜

❛ They will never know all the blood we shed. ❜

❛ We knew it was meant to be, but never meant to last. ❜

❛ The wrath of your hate has returned. ❜

❛ Not even death could take me away from you. ❜

❛ I am your sinner, I am your whore. ❜

❛ I know you had to go, it’s my war not yours. ❜

❛ Even if the world ignites into flames, you’ll be right here by my side. ❜

❛ We have to end the hate. ❜

❛ This sufferings my blessing. ❜

❛ You’re gonna listen to what I say this time. ❜

❛ Determination is pushing me. Perseverance is what I bleed. ❜

❛ I’m drowning in solitude again. ❜

❛ You don’t know the torture. You don’t know the pain. ❜

❛ I still can see your eyes believing in your love for me as you watched me die. ❜

❛ The time has come for me to say goodbye. ❜

❛ I wanted to believe in you. ❜

❛ These faces come and go and all I do is think of you. ❜

❛ I hate you for the way you smile when you look at me. ❜

❛ You think if I bleed, it can save you. ❜

❛ As your sky starts to fall, you realize you’re standing alone. ❜

❛ This confession is killing me again. ❜

❛ Take my hand, show me the way. And never bring me back here. ❜

❛ I know you’ll never understand me. ❜
