Quotes

  • Alison Reynosohas quoted10 hours ago
    Be wary the violet,

    Be wary the dread.

    Be wary the glass and the world of the dead.

    You’ll fast disappear.

    You’ll tremble in fear.

    Be wary the glass and the world of the dead.

    Be wary. Be clever. Be good.

    Now’s your chance, the Nightmare said, his voice thick with mischief. Tell him your real magic. Go on. Tell him why you refuse to touch Providence Cards.
