Memorable Quotes[]
"So how do you like the odds of you and me convincing Konietzko to even let us in on his plans to take this Joe Killa Matrix thing on?" - Albrecht - Pg. 37
"I don't know," Albrecht grumbled. "I liked that part."
Mephi glanced at him and rolled his eyes. "Ahrouns... You know, it probably didn't even happen that way. Where were the margrave's warriors during all of this? His pack? Did he just walk from here to Transylvania? Sure! Realism, take the hindmost."
"It's just a song," Albrecht said. "You saying you never exaggerate to make one sound better?"
Mephi bristled. "I don't have to. When I tell a story, it's what the heroes do that makes them look good, not what I make up about them."
"Oh," Albrecht said. "I guess I can take that as a compliment."
Mephi looked a little confused at that, but he caught on quickly. "Yeah. Because of The Saga. You should. You came off great in that."
"Thanks." - Pg. 65
Then they all lifted higher into the air together and called out, 'The light of hope has gone. Here the forgotten son will remain. Ever here. Forgotten son." - Tamara Tvarivich - Pg. 81
"You can because it's the honorable thing to do," Albrecht said. "You have to. Sometimes, you've got to admit you made a mistake and take your lumps for it. That's just the way it goes. Then everybody gets over it, and the war goes on. And if those guys in there can't get over it, well..."
"The hell with them," Mephi finished.
"Yeah," Albrecht grinned. "What he said." - Pg. 86
"So what about until then?" Albrecht said. "What do we do?"
"You and I?" Tvarivich asked. "Our duty. That's all we can do. The war goes on regardless."
"Yeah," Albrecht said. "I guess it does." - Pg. 97
"I recognize you," the Spiral barked, causing Albrecht to check his lunge in surprise. "The eye patch. The circlet. The sword. You're Albrecht. The one Brother Arglach preached about at our hive." - Pg. 129
"Should have listened to your Brother Ass-rack. Now where'd Solemn Lord go?" - Albrecht - Pg. 130
"The Lore Bane was made of tale spirts! Folded, twisted into muscle fibers..." The realization was so startling that she only realized she'd spoken aloud when the others turned round to stare at her.
Cries Havoc was the first to speak. "What do you mean?"
"It's..." She looked for a way to explain it that made sense. "It's about information. Information is like energy; it can't be created or destroyed. It can only be lost."
"Like the rest of us," muttered Carlita.
Julia sighed. "Okay, two plus two is four, right? If you somehow had the power to make everyone forget that, right across the world, even made them forget what numbers were, you still wouldn't change the fact that two plus two is four. No one would know it, the information would be lost, but it would still be part of the world. That's true for any sort of information. The story of Laughs-at-Pine-Cones will always be the story of Laughs-at-Pine-Cones, even if the time comes that no one knows it. There's always the chance that the story could be recovered somehow - a lost book, chatting to an ancestor spirit, glyphs in a lost cave, whatever - it doesn't matter. You can make people forget, hide the knowledge from them, lock it away, but you can't destroy it."
What has this to do with tale spirits? Even speaking in the growls and movements of the wolf tongue, Storm-Eye managed to sound slightly impatient.
"Don't you see? A tale spirit is the consciousness of a piece of information. If the information can never be destroyed, then the tale spirit must be as resilient. The Lore Bane wasn't feeding off the tale spirits, it was keeping them captive. When Cries Havoc killed it, it exploded. That's because it was made of hundreds of tale spirits, folded and wrapped around and spun together and bound with Wyrm essence. Imprisoned within that foulness, locked into a shape of evil and forced to serve the Wyrm. It must be hell for them. Literally. And when we killed the spirit that kept them bound together, they were set free again."
"That's monstrous." The Children of Gaia were a famously empathic tribe anyway, but as a Galliard, Garou tale-teller, Cries Havoc looked doubly sickened. Pgs. 155-156
"I'm really sorry about Geoffrey. He's a..."
"Ragabash?" suggested Carlita helpfully.
"Wanker," corrected Julia. - Pg. 179
"This is Julia Spencer, Glass Walker of the Old City Sept."
"I call to those who dwell around the campsite hearth."
"I call to those who share in the pleasure of a jug of ale. I call to the spirits of tales lost. Arise! Fight to be heard once more!"
"Awake! Awake! AWAKE!" - Pg. 245
"Probably. Anyway, he roused us. All those tale spirits at once - it must have been way too much. It's a good thing they held off. We were lucky, anyway. They totally suckered us. Me. I led us into a bear-perfect ambush, and it was total luck that invoking the tale spirits dazed the Banes. We'd all have been slaughtered otherwise."
"I'll let you in on a secret. We make our own luck," said Blake, smiling. - Pgs. 252-253
