"Do not test me."

"You dare defy me?!"

"I have friends in high places."

"What would you have me do to them?"

"Name your price. I will gladly pay it."

"I am your loyal servant."

"Leave no survivors."

"Let them feel our might."

"I have brought you a prisoner."

"Your loyalty deserves a reward."

"If you betray me, I will make you regret it."

"I won't kill you. Death would be a mercy."

“Is it really that evil if it’s justified?”

“You play these simple parts and ignore the grey in between.”

“I don’t want to admit it’s more fun… but…”

“Does this cause you pain?”

“Being ignorant is just as bad as committing the act itself.”

“Terrible is just a means of perspective, really…”

“Feel that? That well of emotion? How does it feel?”

“Playing heroes and villains… how pitifully precious that all used to be.”

“Appealing to any sense of humanity in you was a mistake.”

“You may think I have a lingering sense of guilt, but you’re wrong.”

“It’s amazing what will turn people when they have nothing left to lose.”

“A monster? Perhaps, but monsters are far too easily discarded in the eyes of fear.”

“You’ve taken almost everything from me, I dare you to try it again.”

“Death is only a tool to me. Nothing else.”

“Oh, anything can feel. It’s a matter of how you deal with them.”

“The sooner they fall, the more power to us.”

“It could be swift and painless, but there isn’t any fun in that.”

“You forget the lengths I’m willing to go. Don’t test them.”

“If we’re going to be tossing blame around, it’s really your fault, isn’t it?”

“I can break you down in ways that horrify your own nightmares.”

“Good and evil don’t exist, only the extremes of passion and how far someone is willing to go.”

“There might be a way to persuade just a fragment of mercy out of me.”

“Screams and cries are just background noise to my everyday life.”

“Please, keep trying. The futility is still entertaining.”

“Heard a rumor that something lives in these woods, something… otherworldly.” 

“Are you /trying/ to get yourself killed?!”

“Your spellwork is shoddy at best.” 

“Enunciate! Don’t mumble!” 

“What sort of Craft do you do?” 

“You’re… you’re a witch.” 

“You’re going to get caught walking around like that.” 

“What a beautiful creature…” 

“Please do not drop things into my cauldron.” 

“They say that you’re a Fae.” 

“Your eyes… you’re not human, are you?” 

“What are you doing in a place like this?” 

“This isn’t your natural habitat…” 

“This is… impressive spellwork.” 

“Oh! What beautiful enchantments!” 

“Do you think you can make me one of these?” 

“I’m looking for someone whom people say can brew any cure.” 

“This place is cursed… I can feel it in my bones.” 

“Your magic is very oppressive.”

“Supposedly there’s a dragon who dwells here. Heard anything about that?” 

“Your wards and shields are pathetic.” 

“Don’t be ridiculous, they’re a fairytale.” 

“Magic doesn’t exist.” 

“It’s probably some rabid wolves or something, not some ‘mythical creature’.”

“Ghosts aren’t real, and this place isn’t haunted!” 

“Isn’t it about time you crafted your own focus? 

“I’ve never seen magic quite like this.” 

“Please take your wand away from my throat.” 

“Is this a cure, or a poison?” 

“I didn’t know this type of herb grew here.” 

“Do you think someone will be willing to sell me a crystal?” 

“What are you going to do? Read my palm? Tell me my fortune on a poker hand?”

“I haven’t seen a creature like that in years.” 

“Excuse me, but have you seen any __ around these parts?” 

“A __ you say? No, I don’t believe I have.” 

“You should check the vendor down the block if you’re looking for /that/ kind of thing.” 

“You do know that even possessing that is illegal here, yes?”
