Without warning, he jumped into the air. Startled, I held him tighter, my cheek against his. Speaking into my ear, he said, “Yer not too tall, nor too thin, nor do ye weigh too much. Yer perfect the way ye are, lass. A man that does not possess the strength, patience and intelligence to provide fer and protect a woman is no man at all. ↗
S’ils participent tous deux des littératures de l’imaginaire, s’ils ont quelques points communs, comme par exemple leur localisation sur des planètes exotiques et la description de sociétés organisées selon des règles différentes des nôtres, la science-fiction et la fantasy n’en sont pas moins de nature très différente. L’une procède d’un retour à la pensée magique, elle est donc régressive, tandis que l’autre s’appuie sur les conquêtes de l’intelligence et du savoir. L’une flatte l’irrationnel, l’autre est un outil de questionnement du monde. La fantasy est une pure littérature d’évasion alors que la science-fiction est toujours en prise, même dans ses projections les plus lointaines, avec le réel. ↗
If you see the dragon fly, best you drink the flagon dry.” —Zarost ↗

Carla had realised there wasn’t just one destined adventure in life, there were thousands of them. ↗
You read, move your lips, figure out the words, and it's like you're in two places at the same time: you're sitting or lying with your legs curled up, your hand groping in the bowl, but you can see different worlds, far-off worlds that maybe never existed but still seem real. You run or sail or race in a sleigh--you're running away from someone, or you yourself have decided to attack--your heart thumps, life flies by, and it's wondrous: you can live as many different lives as there are books to read. ↗
Does it make you brave to stick your hand in a bear's mouth? Would you do it again just because you didn't die? ↗
Quote from MOONLIGHT MAYHEM – pg 224 “Hero Intercedes”: His hands flickered upward, and before I knew it, they were cupping my face. So, damnably fast now. Demonic-like fast. Trent reeled me closer. Our foreheads joined. He held me, while I trembled in his arms. I was vaguely aware of Evans and Maxwell watching, although it didn’t seem important. Nothing seemed important whenever he did this. It felt like we were enclosed in our own personal bubble made only for the two of us. Trent murmured something in my ear. We stood like that until my shaky legs gradually regained strength. I shut my eyes and pretended my body wasn’t sizzling with heat-lightning because Trent stood so close. My hormones always decided to rebel whenever he put his arms around me. And it wasn’t totally awkward and uncomfortable. No, it felt like the best thing I’d experienced since before Dad’s death. And that’s saying a lot. ↗
