Storm Constantine

Top 10 Best Quotes

“You’re important, Daniel, you’re Shemyaza’s vizier. They want you in their clutches, but they won’t risk your death.”

“Your time will come again, dark queen, but come, let us embrace as sisters at last.”

“You, my dear, are a sidekick. You always were in the past, and you are now. Azazel has the power, not you. Do not make the mistake of over-estimating your value.”

“You took me from the crystal, the first gate to the source, and dragged me to into the abyss. You sought to eclipse all knowledge of light from my soul, so that I would become your dark god. But Sofia…” and here he paused with a smile. “Don’t you understand that by showing me the dark of the Tree, you made me into the perfect avatar of the Shamir? The true king must have knowledge of both light and dark. You gave me this.”

“You look furtive, my dear. I hope you haven’t done any interfering in that quarter as well.”

“You are his creature and you must lure him to me.”

“You are beautiful, Daniel thought, but empty. I thought I wanted to touch you, but I don’t. You won’t let me reach the places I want to touch.”

“You are a fool! He is not Daniel, and you will never be me!”

“Without warning a rush of sensation assaulted Daniel’s mind and body. He felt as if he’d been caught up in powerful arms, held against a body of light and cloud, absorbed by it. He was flooded by a hungry desire and an awareness of heat and strength. His breath came out in a gasp of pleasure and shock. At first he thought it must be Shem, giving in to the urge for contact, but nothing about this entity was redolent of Shemyaza. Neither was it a ghost. He could sense, however, that it was male; a tall Grigori, eager with need. Daniel opened his eyes and the air was full of blue sparks. He felt he was suspended a foot above the bed, gripped by invisible arms.”

“Where had this provocative, sensual creature come from? Was it a product of what had happened at the High Place in Little Moor? Daniel had been so innocent before then, almost like a child. My fault, my fault, Shem thought, as he forced himself to witness every crucifying detail of what Daniel did with Taziel. He knew that Daniel could sense his astral presence in the room, yet it didn’t stop him from making love to this interloper. Where was the modesty that had been such a part of him? Gone, ripped from him by terror and dark knowledge.”
