    How strange that instead of taking his heart, I’m hoping he takes mine.
  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    It feels like the entire world is asleep. And us – just us – we are finally awake.

    look, they're bonding <3

  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    Love and madness are two stars in the same sky.
  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    There are worlds between us, but that seems more like semantics than tangible evidence of how dissimilar we are.
  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    I don’t know why, but Elian has evoked the same feral feeling that used to be reserved only for her. The desire to allow sparks of loyalty and humanity in me to take hold. We’re the same, he and I. Just as looking into my cousin’s eyes feels like looking into a memory of my own childhood, being around Elian feels like being around an alternate version of myself. Reflections of each other in a different kingdom and a different life. Broken pieces from the same mirror.

  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    Two kingdoms that come with responsibilities we each have trouble bearing. Him, the shackles of being pinned to one land and one life. Me, trapped in the confines of my mother’s murderous legacy. And the ocean, calling out to us both. A song of freedom and longing.

    My mission, my kingdom. The world. They exist somewhere other than in this moment, and now there is only this. Me, my ship, and a girl with oceans in her eyes.
  • Dayahas quoted2 years ago
    Could it really be such a bad thing, to become a story whispered to children in the dead of night? A song they sing to one another while they play.
