“He had claimed his throne, and a part of her too. He was welcome to it. For the living and the dead, she would make herself a reckoning. She would rise.”

“I can hear the change in Kaz’s breathing when he looks at you.”
“You… you can?”
“It catches every time, like he’s never seen you before.”

you will soon come to a crossroad in making a decision; don’t be afraid of choice and have faith in yourself and your beliefs. listen to your heart and good things will follow. there is no easy path to happiness. endure the bad, keeping your courageous heart pure and you will have the rewards. all good comes at a sacrifice. trust in your loved ones and have hope for the future.
@sixofcrowsnet heist: epilogue
running her nails through her hair, inej wondered if it was possible for her heart to leap from her chest. saints, she was nervous. it had been over 3 months since she’d seen them all; she missed them more with every passing moment she had been at sea. she missed the smell of kaz’ blueberry pancakes waking her in the morning; the rumbling sound of jesper’s infectious laughter; sitting in wylan’s study, admiring the burnt orange, jasmine blue, citris green paints that he adored almost as much as he adored jes; kuwei’s knowing eyes and hidden talents and nina; nina, her friend and ally who was so brave, so strong, so amazing, she missed hearing stories from nina and antonia, her girlfriend, about their wild adventures educating druskelle on grisha and their powers. they were all there, waiting for her. home.
the boat that slavers had come to fear the very name of, “iustitia”, docked in the port. stepping forward, a wretched smell travelled through the air and under inej’ nose: death. heart beating wildy and the joyful smile wiped from her face, inej worried for the very worse. they hadn’t return her last letter.
peering down the dock’s stained path, her wide eyes glanced at the signs surrounding the wooden post at the enterance of the city, ones that weren’t there when she left. as the faint ringing of sirens reached her ears, she forced herself to breath air into her lungs. squinting, she made out the words printed in red on the sign…
“BEWARE: this city has been infected with the queen’s lady plague.”

Jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. “Fine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”
Brekker’s lips quirked. “I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”
“My ghost won’t associate with your ghost,” Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.

“Jesper!” I’m going to kill that little idiot.
“What do you want?” he shouted down.
“Close your eyes!”
“You can’t kiss me from down there, Wylan.”
“Just do it!”
“This better be good!” He shut his eyes.
“Are they closed?”
“Damn it, Wylan, yes, they’re—” There was a shrill, shrieking howl, and then bright light bloomed behind Jesper’s lids.

“Pick up the pace,” Kaz said, eyeing his watch.
“If I spill a single drop of this, it will burn straight through the floor onto my father’s dinner guests.”
“Take your time.”
