TAG DUMP 1

He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.

Madeline Miller, from Circe (Little, Brown, and Co., 2018)

She remains my faithful servant.

- I hold but faith. In a man like no other.  - Gratitude. For your words and for what comfort your presence is given. 

Gratitude

‘’   Melisandre lifted her hands above her head. 

“Behold! A sign was promised, and now a sign is seen! Behold Lightbringer! Azor Ahai has come again! All hail the Warrior of Light! All hail the Son of Fire!”

A ragged wave of shouts gave answer, just as Stannis’s glove began to smolder. Cursing, the king thrust the point of the sword into the damp earth and beat out the flames against his leg.

“Lord, cast your light upon us!” Melisandre called out.

“For the night is dark and full of terrors,” Selyse and her queen’s men replied.  ‘‘

You wrong her.

She would have spared Renly if she could. It was Melisandre who urged me to meet with him, and give him one last chance to amend his treason. And it was Melisandre who told me to send for you when Ser Axell wished to give you to R'hllor. He smiled thinly. Does that surprise you?
