You Have Twenty-four Hours, Horseguy, To Kill Your Betrayer Any Way You See Fit And To Take Your Revenge. Make Them Count. Oh, And Know That You Can’t Let Daylight Touch You. If You Do…well, You Don’t Want To Die Without Your Soul. It’s Highly Unpleasant. Sometime In The Next Few Days, A Man Named Acheron Parthenopaeus Will Find You And Teach You Everything You Need To Know About Being A Dark-hunter. If You’re Smart, You’ll Listen To Him.

We All Have Regrets, Urian. Nothing That Lives Is Immune From That Nasty Emotion. (acheron) So What? You Want Me To Go Kiss And Make Up? (urian) Hardly. But I Want You To Set Aside Your Own Hurt And Anger To See Clearly For A Minute. This Isn’t About You And Your Father Anymore Than It’s About Me And Nick Hating Each Other Over Something We Can’t Change. This Is About Saving The Lives Of A Million Innocent People. People Like Phoebe Who Don’t Deserve To Be Hunted And Killed. If I Can Stand At The Side Of My Enemies For The Greater Good, So Can You. (acheron)

I’m Going To Make The Wildly Unfounded Assumption That Satara’s Dead By Your Hand And Not Tory’s. Now, Stay With Me On This, Cajun. My Father Slit My Throat And Murdered My Wife Because He Thought I’d Betrayed Him By Getting Married. Before That, He Loved Me More Than His Life And I Was His Last Surviving Child. His Second In Command. Now What Do You Think He’s Going To Do To You Once He Sees Her Body? I Can Assure You, It Won’t Be A Fun-filled Trip To Chuck E. Cheese. (urian)

There Are Cases Where Examinations Are Admitted, Namely, Before The Coroner, And Before Magistrates In Cases Of Felony.

How Can I Ever Trust You? (acheron) You Can’t. But I Have Lived Inside Your Memories For The Last Three Years. I Know The Pain You Hide. I Know The Pain I Caused. If I Stay Here, I Will Go Mad From The Screams. If I Return To The Vanishing Isle, I’ll Languish There Alone And In Time I Will Probably Learn To Hate You All Over Again. I Don’t Want To Hate You Anymore, Acheron. You Are A God Who Can Control Human Fate. Is It Not Possible That There Was A Reason Why We Were Joined Together?
