Peter V. Brett Quotes

He Slowed Down When The House Was In Sight, Despite The Cries Of His Parents, Despite The Terror In Their Voices. This Was The Time Of Day He Felt Most Alive. He Watched The Sun Dip In The Sky, Eclipsed By The Turning Of The World Beneath Him. Shadows Began To Lengthen. He Waited Until The Last Minute, And Then Ran To His House As Fast As He Could, The Exhilarating Tingle Of Fear Sweeping Over Him, Making His Heart Pound And His Hands Shake. Air Tasted Better In Those Few Seconds, His Body Alive With Sensation. No Sight Was More Beautiful Than The Reds And Oranges Of Dusk, No Sound More Exciting Than His Parents' Warnings. He Tumbled Over The Threshold, Careful Not To Disturb The Wards, And Turned To Watch The Corelings Rise.
