“Indecision is the source of chaos." - Paris Skyle(Allies of the Night)”

“I always knew there was power in the earth, but it must be much stronger than I imagined to resist such a relentless foe, day after day, night after night, year after year.”

“Confidence has brought them out into the light, but they seem to have forgotten - light's no good for creatures of the night.”

“If this were a made-up story, it would begin at night, with a storm blowing and owls hooting and rattling noises under the bed.”

“For a long time that's all I could do, howl and scream and cry like the wild animal of the night that I'd become.”

I repeated angrily."And if I don't?" she asked."I'll get back up on the bars and fight you till you do," I growled.Arra studied me at length, then nodded and took my hand. "Power to you, Darren Shan," she said gruffly."Power," I repeated weakly, then fainted into her arms and knew no more till I came to in my hammock the next night.”
