“Magic won't save us. The power it would take to conjure on such a scale, the tithe would destroy us. The only hope...is hope. You don't need tokens for it- it's in your heart or nowhere. And in your heart, child, it had been stronger than I have ever seen.”
“I am One. I value my uniqueness. If there were more like me I would hope they were small and easy to destroy.”
“More than most men, he valued his name-I only hoped that given time, it would once more have value.”
