In Merai, they say that the Navolese are as twisted as the plaits of their women’s hair, and I cannot disagree. But, too, as Aghan Khan said, when we find that which we desire, our hearts fly swift and true. I would also add that our promises are as hard as the ice of the Cielofrigo, and just as cold.

RUNNING AROUND MY HOUSE SCREAMING

THIS DESTROYED ME BODY AND SOUL

IT TOOK MY HEART AND IT CAN KEEP IT

IT’S THE CLOSEST I’VE EVER COME TO ROBIN HOBB AND FITZ 

THE LAST PARAGRAPH WILL BE IMPRINTED ON MY BONES FOR ETERNITY
