He got up and hugged her tightly. "Promise it'll be okay?"
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

“I didn’t know any better.” Ky smiled a little. “I didn’t have any siblings either. Or a Mama. Or any aunts or uncles other than Zander. It’s so new to me how big our family is now!”

"We have a billion people in our family!!" Mattathias announced, letting go excitedly. "A billion billion, and I haven't even met them all!"
