Quotes / Atop a Mountain of Corpses

Go To

Pit: It wasn't cool of you to disappear earlier. After all, this IS our final battle.
Hades: Oh, I was just going to make a quick stop to decimate a country or two.
Pit: In the middle of battle? Why would you do that?
Viridi: Probably so he could fuel up on souls.
Hades: Yes, I was hoping to greet Pitty on top of a mountain of corpses.
Hades: But I didn't even get a pile started with him hot on my heels. What a killjoy.
Palutena: Your hunger for destruction is as boundless as it is callous, Hades.
Pit: Plus, a "mountain of corpses"? Seriously?

Son: Dad! There's a monster under my bed!
Dad: I told you! There's no such thing! It's 3 AM! Go to sleep!
-5 hours later...-
Dad: Son, you're... covered in blood.
Son: The night was unkind, father. They came like storm-woven waves. The blanket was no barrier.
I pulled a chair leg from its socket. The nail was razor-sharp. The monsters' backs were hard and scaly, but their eyes were soft as jelly. SOFT AS JELLY, FATHER.
I cut them down! Men, women, children! Each retaliation cost me less conscience than the last!
When dawn came I stood atop that cairn of corpses! Alive! Alive by God! Alone against the darkness!
