    Summary

    “I’m hardly a god,” said Zagreus. He turned his cup before taking a drink. “Let alone the god of anything. I bleed like a mortal. I can’t bestow blessings like my relatives can, I have no cult. I’m just the son of the god of the dead. The prince. That’s all.”

    Summary

    “This is old magic,” said Lysithea. “Archaic. It’s like the kind of thing you read in school about our barbaric forebears doing before Seiros showed everyone how to heal. There’s no reason in it. I’m amazed they could even work it, it’s nothing like their city.”

    Edelgard nodded. She recalled Hubert’s final report on Shambhala—the City Without Light, where the streets glowed blue; an impossible civilization, centuries more advanced than anything on the surface. Now returned to dust.

    “The only thing to do,” Lysithea said, matter-of-factly, “is cut it out of you.”

    To save Edelgard's life, Lysithea will learn all her secrets—even the ones Edelgard doesn't know she's keeping.

    Summary

    It’s a victory lap. That’s all it is.

    “You and Sora,” Mulan says.

    “Sora and I,” Riku replies.

    “I looked into it, for I wanted to be respectful of your warrior’s culture,” Mulan continues. “After their journey is over, a Keyblade Master bringing his consort to explore the wor—”

    “Excuse me,” Riku interrupts. “What did you say just now?”

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.
