❝ The brave princess Lucretia raced through the marble halls of the palace. ‘I must find Cordelia,’ she gasped. ‘I must save her.’ ‘I believe Prince James holds her even now, captive in his throne room!’ Sir Jerrod exclaimed. ‘But Princess Lucretia, even though you are the most beautiful and wise lady that I have ever met, surely you cannot fight your way through a hundred of his stoutest palace guard!’ The knight’s green eyes flashed.

@theshadowworlders mission 5: side characters Charlotte Branwell “It is a bit like they’re your children, isn’t it?” Charlotte sighed. “Yes,” she said. “Except for the part where they’re required to love me, I suppose.”

“It seemed impossible to James any of them could be his grandfather. It was like having a mountain for a grandfather, or an exploding star. Nothing evil was more powerful than the Princes of Hell, save perhaps Lilith, the mother of demons.”
