Death Quote by Christine Feehan
““I thought you were planning on talking him to death," Darius informed the golden bat dryly as he himself shape-shifted from a black bat to a feathered and much more powerful predator. "Someone had to do something while you were playing with your rock patterns," Julian replied easily, allowing iridescent feathers to erupt along his own body, becoming a raptor more than able to keep up with his companion's aggressive flight. They began to fly side by side easily toward the forest where they had left Desari. "I could do no other than protect the man of my sister's choosing." Darius managed to make it sound as if his sister had a hole in her head. Julian snorted. "Protect me? I do not think so,old man. You were the one standing back in the shadows while I destroyed the beast." "I had to ensure you came to no harm through other traps and snares. You certainly wasted enough time with the undead," Darius replied softly.””
