On the corner of 8th and main there’s a man who sulkily shows up every day‚ rain or shine‚ with his taco stand. It was as if the man was a denizen of 8th street. Each day there is also a dog that languidly shows up‚ a cordial little pug to be exact. Each day the dog stands in front of the stand‚ just until the vulgar man chases him away and screams to him “never come back”. However it seems as though the dog is oblivious to the man’s words. Each day the dog still comes back‚ even if he was scrutinized

PLAYER X. START! Shattered tiles crunched beneath the soles of my shoes; the destruction of the ground was accompanied by the disheartening sign of fractured and partial columns haphazardly dotting the dreary landscape. Gaze surveying the remainder of what I considered the consequences of a ruined city‚ I noticed the emerging towers at the horizon.

Kaz Brekker didn’t need a reason. Those were the words whispered on the streets of Ketterdam‚ in the taverns and coffeehouses‚ in the dark and bleeding alleys of the pleasure district known as the Barrel. The boy they called Dirtyhands didn’t need a reason any more than he needed permission—to break a leg‚ sever an alliance‚ or change a man’s fortunes with the turn of a card. Of course they were wrong‚ Inej considered as she crossed the bridge over the black waters of the Beurscanal to the deserted

Auron stood away from the altar. He could only watch his two companions approach it in abject silence. He’d noticed Davon’s change gradually as they made their way back from Morvac.
