No one was my master — but I might be master of everything, if I wished. If I dared. - Sarah J. Maas

There are good days and hard days for me — even now. Don’t let the hard days win.

I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us — because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin. I felt Cassian’s spirit beside me in that moment, and could have sworn I heard him say, ‘If you don’t marry her, you stupid prick, I will.

She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.
