City of Light (The Traveler's Gate Trilogy)
“He didn’t know how it had happened. He didn't remember jumping or summoning either sword, but now he hung in the air, ready to draw blood.
He hadn't called Nye essence, nor did Benson's cold steel flow through his veins. And yet, somehow, the world slid slowly by. He felt enough power in his hands to rend steel.
He didn’t need to hold the diamond anymore—the power was part of him now. His every thought was precise, filtered to absolute clarity by the focus of the Valinhall diamond. In that clea...r, cold light, his future became simple.
He was going to kill Zakareth. Then he would kill Asphodel. After that, he would begin the selection process: there were too many Travelers, too many people, who weren't strong enough to hold their own in combat. He would be doing them a disservice if he didn't attack. They would learn or they would die, and if they failed, he would be sparing them a worse death in the future.
It was so simple, he couldn't believe that he hadn't seen it before.
Vasha struck first, because of her length, but King Zakareth brought up a black-and-gold shield directly from his Territory.MoreLess
