Minutes passed by. A little blue butterfly landed on my nose. I blinked at it and it fluttered to my ear. A big yellow butterfly gently floated over and landed on my paw. Soon a whole swarm of them floated up and down around me, like a swirl of multicolored petals. It happened in my backyard, too, if the magic was strong enough. Butterflies were small and light, and very magic sensitive. For some reason I made them feel safe and they gravitated to me like iron shavings to a magnet. They ruined my ferocious badass image, but you’d have to be a complete beast to swat butterflies. If a baby deer frolicked out from between the buildings trying to cuddle up, I would roar. I wouldn’t bite it, but I would roar. I had my limits.Ilona Andrews

No. See, when you throw up you're vomiting, but when you throw down you're starting a fight, as in throwing down the gauntlet."" Ohhhh, " he said. "I thought you were speaking literally."" I do beg your pardon. Let's literally throw up, but figuratively throw down.Kevin Hearne

The answer to enemies who heal annoyingly fast is always, always decapitation. That is why swords will never go out of style.Kevin Hearne
