A Night Without Armour Romane & Geschichten

"What do you want." He held up the metal bundles. "Nero's orders. Both of you wear these tonight. No arguments." He dropped his eyes to the gown Isolde was holding. "As beautiful as that would be — and it would be genuinely beautiful — tonight is not the night." He held out the armor. "Warriors only." We looked at the armor. Then at each other. It was metal.

Once we got out of the cars, Patrick handed me a black, long-sleeved sort of armor made of thick and rough fabric.

The forest was a cathedral of shadows as our strike force moved through the darkness. Thirty Nightshade warriors rode in perfect silence, their horses' hooves muffled by strips of leather wrapped around each shoe. We were ghosts in the night, death given form and purpose. I rode beside Darius at the formation's head, my borrowed armor feeling strange against skin that had grown accustomed to servant's clothes. The throwing knives Moira had given me hung at my belt, their weight both comforting and terrifying. In a few hours, I would discover whether I truly had the stomach for war.

he joked. “It means night or darkness,” she said. “Opposite of light or day. You’re day, I’m night. It’s like fate is telling us through our names that we can never be together. Night and day are always apart. When one comes, the other one leaves. Y-You’re peace, I am chaos. You’re perfect, I’m broken.” Tears started to well in her eyes at that moment and he wanted to touch her by her shoulder and pull her closer to him to console him, and maybe kiss her tears dry, but he was apprehensive that it would just drive her more away from him.

In remembrance! In remembrance! Lord Nox, the God of War, succumbed to the siege by the Ten Nations and perished in the treacherous Ocean of Death. The battleground witnessed not only the staining of azure waters but also a sea adorned with lifeless forms, as Lord Nox, with unmatched prowess, faced and conquered the formidable lions of the Ten Nations.Contrary to popular belief attributing Lord Nox's demise to the collective might of the Ten Nations, the truth unfolds that the one responsible for extinguishing his life was none other than the woman who held the deepest place in his heart.In the passage of time, Nox Greenshade stood atop the towering peaks, gazing upon the vast expanse below

Remy (voice raw): “I still have nightmares that one day I’ll wake up and the coyote will have taken too much. That I’ll hurt you. And you’ll finally see the monster everyone warned you about.” His fingers tremble in mine (only I feel it). Seras stands beside us, hoodie sleeves pushed up, fire licking her wrists. Seras: “I keep the armor on at night because I’m scared if I take it off I’ll disappear again. Like the girl I was before the mountain never actually existed.” Lucian’s wings unfurl slow, sheltering all of us. Lucian: “I was ready to let the world burn if it meant keeping her warm.

"You think poison improved my personality?" "A little, but you are so dramatic." I laughed before I could stop myself. "I learned from you." Heat immediately surged into my cheeks.

It was impossible to remove alone. He turned around. "Gina."

The Citadel’s shattered bells still trembled in the dawn air when the ivory bone banners of the northern legion advanced, spectral warriors clad in furnaced steel, armor glimmering like ghost fire. Nyra Duskbane stood on the ramparts, her threefold runes dim after Mother of Ruin’s defeat, her cloak torn but her spirit unbroken.
