->''"I am a warrior of ages, Anasûrimbor... ''ages''. I have dipped my ''nimil'' in a thousand hearts. I have ridden both against and ''for'' the No-God in the great wars that authored this wilderness.

->[[AffablyEvil I wish I could trust you, I really do]]. But everything is in far too delicate a state at the moment. I think it was twenty thousand years ago, give or take, that I decided the little details weren't worth bothering with. Ended up being thrown in a volcano for my sloppiness. Let me tell you, [[LoserProtagonist Mr Dionysus]], there's nothing like having to claw and scrape your way through a sea of molten lava to remind one [[NoNonsenseNemesis to keep an eye on the details]].

->'''Polgara:''' I was happy here. The walls were high, and the towers soared. We all thought it would last forever. Over there was a flower-filled garden where ladies in pale yellow dresses used to sit while young men sang to them from beyond the garden wall. The voices of the young men were very sweet, and the ladies would sigh and throw bright red roses over the wall to them. And down that avenue was a marble-paved square where the old men met to talk of forgotten wars and long-gone companions. Beyond that there was a house with a terrace where I used to sit with friends in the evening to watch the stars come out while a boy brought us chilled fruit and the nightingales sang as if their hearts were breaking. But then the Asturians came. You'd be surprised at how little time it takes to tear down something that took a thousand years to build ... [[NotSoStoic I didn't think the trees would come back so fast.]] I thought they might have waited a little longer.\\

->My injuries? My pain? ''Hah!'' When I wore the dragonhelm and got a lance through my visor, which broke the bridge of my nose, [[GoodThingYouCanHeal shot through and smashed out the back of my skull]], that was pain! Pain, aye, for part of me — the real ME — had been hurt. That was Silistria, where we crushed the Ottoman. Oh, I know pain, my friend. We are old, old acquaintances, pain and I. In 1204 at Constantinople it was Greek fire. I had joined the [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Fourth Crusade]] in Zara, as a mercenary, and was burned for my trouble at the height of our triumph! Ah, but didn't we make them pay for it? [[RapePillageAndBurn For three whole days we pillaged, raped, slew]]. And I — in my agony, half eaten away, burned through almost to [[TheSymbiote the very heart of ME]] — I was the greatest slayer of all! The human flesh had shriveled, but the ''[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Wamphyri]]'' lived on!
