'Does the moon look bigger to you tonight?'

The Book of Ataniel

Underneath All This Mithril Dagger Hero Crap I Am Still The Same Dark And Dangerous Guy You All Know And Love, You Know



"Khyri," said Luthien, low and serious, "look, I'm not the kind of person who says these things out loud very often, but you do know how close a friend I consider you, and how much that means to me, don't you?" Khyrisse nodded. "Good. Because I can't come with you on this one."

"If this is about your curse, Luth... it's behind you now. I'm willing to stake all our lives on that, and I don't say that lightly. You're one of a very few I really trust."

"Then trust my judgment now," said Luthien. "You don't want to put me in a crucible of souls with Ebreth Tor." Khyrisse sat down. "If either of us slipped up there, one of us would kill the other. I don't want it to come to that. There are too many ways for this to go wrong, and any of them would screw up the life of someone I care about. I have some magic items I can lend you, Khyrisse. Beyond that, I'm sorry, but I know my limitations, and I won't endanger your mission that way."
