@Vampiretwilight, I like muenster cheese a lot. When I make the family grilled cheese sandwiches, I use muenster cheese instead of cheddar.

Book Quotes

Another way to articulate this idea is by distinguishing between an enchanted view of the world and a disenchanted view. The disenchanted view is that reality is "just" a bunch of meaningless objects to which we assign meaning. But the enchanted view is that, because of the connection between the physical and the spiritual, everything in the physical world has some intrinsic meaning, whether or not we're aware of it. Even if you're skeptical about things like karma, curses, or holy water, you probably have some vague sense of a deeper meaning in the natural world. The glory of the stars on a dark night, the mystery you sense at the heart of a forest, the profundity of the sea, the energy and beauty of the human being-these are things that inspire us and beckon us. We have a sense of their deep significance even if we cannot explain why.

_N/A

Rowan’s knuckle swished through the air. He was ready to shift his body and offer a better attack this time, now that his opponents speed was better accounted for. (How could he have misjudged Vasco?) when Barrock grabbed a hold of him.

"Master yourself!" He reprimanded. "Are you not a soldier?!"

Rowan’s eyes quickly shifted towards the Orc. Silver was beaming angrily in them. The Light Elf shut his eyes from a breath, and when he re-opened them, the storm that had been raging inside of Rowan had quelled — for the time being.

A smile grimaced on his face, “You’re right, my friend.” He pulled himself free of the big creature’s grasp. He did not bother to look towards Vasco. “I apologize about my behavior.”

Rowan mentally swallowed shame. Although, he still felt upset, at himself for not being able to control himself over his sister and equally at Vasco for pulling every string he possibly could. The human cared for nothing of Avalia. He was a selfish brat.

“It’s all better now, brother,” Aurora spoke wearily. There were tears still swelled in her eyes. Her lips pressed together in an attempt to keep her emotions to herself.

Bashfully, she turned towards Barrock. Thank you so much, for your kindness and help,” She could feel her cheeks tingling. The darkness in front of her comforted her. She imagine did she could see their images, their actual faces, she would be even more embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

“We are all under so much stress.” She thought of the break Rowan, Zara and she had taken before meeting Barrock. She wished she could muster up the courage to suggest something of the sort again, except, she knew they had to stay serious minded.

A small frown toyed on her lips as she remembered Zara’s reaction to eating the cake. She had been so innocent, even the quarreling wirh Rowan was so petty. It was petty just like… with Vasco. All of his talk was merely like a yipping puppy. He did not really have a bite.

“The plan sounds solid, my friend.” Rowan agreed with Barrock. He did not like it, and he had reasons he could use to argue against it, they were all fruitless. His sister was right, again, Barrock was wise.

“Well, you heard Mother Superior, ladies. Let’s shake a leg.” Aurora could smell Vasco leaning closer to her. His voice was smooth and vibrating against her skin. “MWAH!” She heard an exaggeration of his lips smacking together“Ruin you later, toots.” And she jumped. Her hand immediately cupping her cheek.

Rowan’s knuckles clenched. His teeth gritted, and he released a heated breath. “Your powers won’t obey you very well if you keep heading down this path.” The silver globe beamed in his eyes, again like a warning ray. “You should have your mind more focused on your training. Like Barrock said, stay in your lane, and you might just survive.”

Aurora was still cupping her cheek. She was having trouble admitting that Vasco’s behavior was further clouding her sight. She did not want to believe that Vasco was as terrible as Rowan was insisting. And yet, she knew he was much more devious than Zara. Any fear she had for Zara’s soul were multiplied many times when it came to Vasco.

Best of luck! 👋🏻

Book Quotes

Giselle sighed. "Yes, Molly. It's clean. You're not the only person in the world who sanitizes things, you know."

This pleased me immensely because it confirmed what I knew in my heart. Giselle and I are so different, and yet, fundamentally, we are very much alike.

Book Quotes

Gran always drilled into me the importance of a clean and orderly home.

“A clean home, a clean body, and clean company. Do you know where that leads?”

I could not have been more than five years old when she taught me this. Ilooked way up at her as she spoke. “Where does it lead, Gran?”

“To a clean conscience. To a good, clean life.”

It would take years for me to truly understand this, but it strikes me now how right she was.

It's funny the way memories bubble up whenever I clean. I do wonder if that's the same for everyone — for everyone who cleans, that is.”
