I know I have few mutuals here as I'm keeping this dash very small but... plotting call maybe?

❝ i was shattered. i lost everything. ❞ ❝ i warned you not to take me lightly. ❞ ❝ we’re partners, aren’t we? ❞ ❝ ever since we’ve met, you’ve been disobedient and rude. ❞ ❝ take suffering as your companion, and unease and fear as friends. if you do, darkness will become light. ❞ ❝ it’s a cold world out there. you’ve gotta learn to trust folks. ❞ ❝ as you stand before me now, you’re all desperation and bravado. that is not true bravery. ❞ ❝ you can’t change your past and you can’t change who you were. you can only decide who you’re going to be. ❞ ❝ resentment is a trap of the heart into which everyone falls. ❞ ❝ you don’t look well. are you ill? ❞ ❝ you were born into life with a destiny. you cannot run away from that. ❞ ❝ you carry a smouldering darkness inside you. ❞ ❝ it’s considered impolite not to give your all in a fight. ❞ ❝ at dusk and dawn…it’s easy for all sorts of things to sneak by. ❞ ❝ since that day, so much has changed for me. ❞ ❝ i’m sorry. it’s been hard, huh? ❞ ❝ a true hero must shoulder a heavy responsibility. ❞ ❝ stay calm. move cautiously and remain vigilant. ❞ ❝ one more time. try telling the truth. ❞ ❝ why keep fighting until you’re just a broken wreck? ❞ ❝ if we start a fight, we must be ready to hit back. ❞ ❝ in the end, it’s easier just to be selfish. ❞ ❝ i was lost without you. i was lonely. ❞ ❝ why do i so often taste this sense of loss? ❞ ❝ i think both our journeys are pointing to the same place. ❞ ❝ power does not inhabit a blade without bravery. ❞ ❝ did you hear something? like the cry of a beast… ❞ ❝ what’s wrong? if you’re too weak, then just leave. ❞ ❝ what is strength? is it displays of power mocking the weak? destroying beauty simply to satisfy your greed? ❞ ❝ you get too worked up over things. ❞ ❝ easy for you to say. i’m the one getting beat up. ❞ ❝ i don’t need thanks. i didn’t do it for you. ❞ ❝ depending on your attitude…i might be able to help. ❞ ❝ if you don’t do as i say, i’ll take your arm off. ❞ ❝ as leader, i will not choose the path of pain and death for my people. i must protect them. ❞ ❝ strength isn’t about power…it’s about being brave. ❞ ❝ you have good eyes. the eyes of a proud beast. ❞ ❝ if the need arises, i will not hesitate to pick up a sword and fight. ❞ ❝ i guessed you had a secret past.   people can try to hide it, but nature shows through. ❞ ❝ i was lying when i said i’d never held a sword.❞ ❝ there’s no time for sentimentality. ❞ ❝ if someone comes in who knows about your past, i’ll protect you if they try to hurt you. ❞ ❝ is there something strange about me? ❞ ❝ be careful…there have been monsters around here lately. ❞ ❝ choose…surrender or die. ❞ ❝ when i feel uneasy or afraid i just think: ‘this is my mission’. ❞ ❝ don’t take me for nothing more than a fine doll good only for decoration. ❞ ❝ i’m nothing more than dirt. i’m not worth all that effort. ❞ ❝ why do you think we’re any safer here? ❞ ❝ don’t die on me now. ❞ ❝ ha! even you have a good idea sometimes. ❞ ❝ i fought through all kinds of monsters to get here…and i survived. ❞ ❝ i’ve spent so long looking for you! i’m so glad you’re safe. ❞ ❝ people are always hovering over me…and it’s so suffocating! ❞ ❝ some detours lead to unexpected good luck. ❞ ❝ you say whatever you think…i’ve never done that. ❞ ❝ there is no greater joy than helping a friend. ❞ ❝ what do you mean ‘never mind’? ❞ ❝ these days such peaceful travels are rare indeed. ❞ ❝ wildly rushing into danger isn’t courage. ❞ ❝ didn’t you say there’s something you need to do, no matter what it takes? ❞ ❝ i sense unprecedented danger approaching. ❞ ❝ how do you feel now, looking back upon yourself at that time? ❞ ❝ as usual, you’re a wimp. ❞ ❝ resentment is dangerous. it comes in through the slightest crack in your heart. ❞ ❝ i’d go to the ends of the earth for you. ❞ ❝ it really hasn’t been that long, but you’ve grown into a fine man. ❞ ❝ now is the time for us to take back all that was stolen. ❞ ❝ one thing’s certain — those aren’t human. ❞ ❝ what do you fight to protect? answer. ❞ ❝ i wish you wouldn’t do such dangerous things. ❞ ❝ if you got hurt due to my mistakes…i don’t think i could live with that. ❞ ❝ why would you do all that…when we’ve only just met? ❞ ❝ it’s a pretty name. perfect for you. ❞ ❝ once your wounds heal, you’ll need to leave right away. ❞ ❝ the hero on his knees! quite a sight. ❞ ❝ how does it feel to be so strong? quite a rush, isn’t it? ❞ ❝ you’re all puffed up on your own arrogance…drunk on your own pride. ❞ ❝ i once wondered how good you are…now i see you’re really skilled. ❞ ❝ i’m not physically strong like you…but my wits, brains and analysis can be helpful. ❞ ❝ don’t say you can’t accept that this is the end. ❞ ❝ you just want to satisfy your own ambition and lust for power. ❞ ❝ it’ll be all right because we’re together. ❞ ❝ why would you leave me at a time like this? ❞ ❝ for the first time i feel like i’m overflowing with incredible power. ❞ ❝ there’s no time for doubt. you are the chosen one. ❞ ❝ your problem is that you demand absolute perfection. ❞ ❝ there is no easy path. but you can definitely overcome it. ❞ ❝ i’m so very sorry. i broke my promise. i hurt you. ❞ ❝ that’s the spirit. hate me more. only then will this fight be worthwhile. ❞ ❝ i thought you were dead. ❞ ❝ well…? say something. or has my beauty left you speechless? ❞ ❝ i never forgot you. not for one moment. ❞ ❝ sorry for killing the mood. ❞ ❝ light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. one cannot exist without the other. ❞ ❝ if you desire something…then that is my desire too. ❞ ❝ who says i’m afraid of you? ❞ ❝ your weapon is little better than a toy. ❞ ❝ all that awaits you is despair. ❞ ❝ i’ve done the unforgivable. i betrayed you. ❞ ❝ i’m here to repay you for what you’ve done. ❞ ❝ since i’ve met you, we’ve travelled a long way…and a lot has happened. ❞ ❝ are you on a journey of self-discovery? ❞ ❝ that was a great strike. if i was a hair slower, you’d have gutted me. ❞ ❝ when i was young, i wanted to be a hero. ❞ ❝ your struggle is futile. ❞ ❝ as you can see, i know how to fight. ❞ ❝ my hatred toward you will not be satisfied by merely killing you once or twice. ❞ ❝ you’ve been through a lot. ❞ ❝ whose side are you on? light or shadow? ❞ ❝ if you run then we’re done for! fight to survive! ❞ ❝ i’m not strong enough. not good enough. ❞ ❝ i must crush your bones, rip out your organs and relish your lingering cries of pain. ❞ ❝ that was close, huh? ❞ ❝ rest now. you don’t have to fight any more. ❞ ❝ i bear this sword so i can protect my home in times like this. ❞

You  got  People  you  know  by  Selena  Gomez  !

AND  WHAT  HURTS  THE  MOST  IS  PEOPLE  CAN  GO  FROM  PEOPLE  YOU  KNOW  TO  PEOPLE  YOU  DON'T…He  may  have  regained  a  few  of  his  memories.  Something  that  should  bring  him  joy,  but  instead,  it  comes  with  a  bitter  ache  ❝  They  were  my  friends,  ❞  he  murmurs,  the  companions  meant  to  stand  by  his  side,  fighting  together  to  vanquish  the  Calamity  once  and  for  all.  But  that  wasn't  how  it  ended,  was  it  ?  They  are  dead,  and  that  is  a  weight  that  makes  him  falter.  His  next  words  catch  in  his  throat.

His  gaze  falls,  lingering  on  the  ground  ❝  and  the  only  thing  I  have  of  them  are  a  few  scattered  moments  ❞  Their  laughter,  their  faces,  the  sound  of  their  voices  —  ALL  OF  IT  FEELS  SO  DISTANT.  And  it  is  a  cruel  twist,  isn't  it  ?  To  remember  them  again,  as  if  meeting  them  for  the  first  time,  only  for  those  memories  to  become  a  painful  reminder  of  what  had  been  ripped  away  and  could  never  return.  Yet  the  loss  doesn't  stop  with  them.  It  spreads  further  to  the  other  soldiers  of  the  royal  guard  in  which  he  had  served  and  every  other  person  who  had  slipped  entirely  from  his  mind,  lost  to  the  depths  of  his  forgotten  past.

THE  SKY  WAS  PAINTED  WITH  THE  DEEP  HUES  OF  TWILIGHT,  stars  beginning  to  peek  through  the  canopy  of  trees.  The  air  was  cool,  filled  with  the  scent  of  pine  and  earth,  and  the  tranquil  sounds  of  the  evening  forest  surrounded  them.  The  last  rays  of  sunlight  filtered  through  the  trees,  casting  long,  dappled  shadows.  Though  she  didn't  seem  to  mind,  for  she  was  still  absorbed  in  her  observations.  The  knight  stood  a  few  meters  behind,  watching  the  golden  glow  of  the  setting  sun  illuminate  her,  casting  a  halo  around  her  form  and  highlighting  her  focused  expression.

❝  We  should  head  back,  princess  ❞  Link  finally  spoke,  his  tone  a  soft  warning  as  his  eyes,  always  sharp  and  alert,  scanned  their  surroundings.  No  matter  how  peaceful  the  scene  may  seem,  he  couldn't  ignore  the  growing  worry  inside  him.  It  wouldn't  be  the  first  time,  nor  the  last,  that  someone  used  the  darkness  and  the  familiarity  of  a  path  to  attack  ❝  It  is  getting  late  ❞  He  continued,  adjusting  his  stance.  The  weight  of  his  sword  shifting  slightly  against  his  back  a  constant  reminder  of  his  duty  to  protect  above  anything  else.  Even  her  own  orders  or  wishes.

❝ i have a dragon’s temper, that’s all. you must not let it frighten you. ❞

TARGARYENS  HAD  ALWAYS  HAD  FIRE  RUNNING  THROUGH  THEIR  VEINS,  AND  HIS  QUEEN  WAS  NO  DIFFERENT.  It  had  passed  down  through  generations  and  to  extinguish  it  would  be  to  rid  her  of  the  very  essence  that  made  her  who  she  was.  A  leader  who  inspired  love  and  loyalty  in  anyone  around  her.  But  fire  could  be  as  dangerous  as  it  was  magnificent  if  allowed  to  blaze  without  control.  As  her  servant,  the  knight  felt  it  was  his  responsibility  to  shield  her  from  that  double-edged  sword.

❝  If  I  may  speak  freely,  your  grace  ❞  Link  began,  with  the  respect  she  was  due  ❝  it  is  not  your  temper  that  frightens  me  ❞  After  all,  without  the  strength  she  seemed  to  draw  from  it,  he  was  sure  it  would  have  been  impossible  for  anyone,  let  alone  someone  so  young,  to  accomplish  what  Daenerys  had.  She  was  the  girl  who  saw  solutions  no  one  else  was  capable  of  —  the  girl  who  had  walked  into  the  flames  with  three  stones  and  walked  out  with  three  dragons.  How  could  she  not  believe  she  was  destined  for  great  things  ?

❝  but  rather  it  leading  you  to  danger  ❞  her  growing  conviction  in  her  own  infallibility  had  made  her  ignore  her  advisors' arguments  more  than  once.  It  had  blurred  the  fine  line  between  bravery  and  recklessness  and  caused  her  to  step  into  many  risky  situations  because  she  believed  her  fate  was  to  sit  the  Iron  Throne  and  nothing  would  stop  her  before  that.  Yet  fate  was  a  fickle  thing,  as  changing  as  the  wind.  And  it  wouldn't  be  the  first  time  the  world  had  witnessed  the  fall  of  a  dragon.

Q  :  HOW  DO  YOU  NEED  TO  BE  TOUCHED?

A  :  FERVENTLY.

you  crave  a  hug  that  cracks  your  ribs...  the  feeling  of  your  wandering  soul  being  crushed  back  into  the  bones  that  can't  seem  to  hold  it.  you  need  a  hand  gripping  yours  so  tightly  you  almost  fear  it  may  leave  a  bruise,  a  reminder  that  you  are  here.  and  that  you  are  not  alone.
