Using his web of dreams, he found fragments of the Prince that had been forgotten and overlooked, cocooned in the darkness of London Beyond. And he placed each one of these cocoons with a human family, good folk oblivious to their origin, unmindful of their destiny. Thus were these royal hatchlings kept far away from the two warring tribes until it was time for their coming of age, and for the plan that the Spider Mage had formed to be put into action. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joanne Harris" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joanne-harris/the-mage-s-powers-were-almost-gone-and-his-web-which-had-once-spanned/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/640/joanne-harris-1428_aspect_the-mage-s-powers-were-almost-gone-and-h_1166084.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/640/joanne-harris-1428_aspect_the-mage-s-powers-were-almost-gone-and-h_1166084.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/640/joanne-harris-1428_aspect_the-mage-s-powers-were-almost-gone-and-h_1166084.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Mage's powers were almost gone, and his web, which had once spanned the worlds, had shrunk to little…” — Joanne Harris", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "I've never been very good at leaving things behind.

The thread he had followed was broken, and he had no means of spinning another. His friend, the Spider Mage, was too far away to hear his cries, and this world of cruelty and noise was too much for him. Even the air was unbreathable. And so he crept into World Below, and wept to himself in the darkness. As he wept, his grief was so great that he broke into a cloud of butterflies and moths, each one a fragment of himself, that scattered into the darkness of the tunnels beneath the city. Some of them found their way to the light. Others stayed in the darkness. Some slept. And they became two separate groups-- one living underground, one in the light, both yearning for the world they had left, and for the chance to be whole again. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joanne Harris" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joanne-harris/the-young-prince-arrived-in-this-world-lost-and-very-frightened-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5e8/joanne-harris-1428_butterflies_the-young-prince-arrived-in-this-world-l_2967889.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5e8/joanne-harris-1428_butterflies_the-young-prince-arrived-in-this-world-l_2967889.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5e8/joanne-harris-1428_butterflies_the-young-prince-arrived-in-this-world-l_2967889.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The young Prince arrived in this world, lost and very frightened.
