Storytelling Quote by Marissa Burt
““You have the Elements to write a grand Tale,” Kai said with a sad smile. “But you will not rewrite Story.” He thumped his staff on the wooden floor, and his form flickered, grew taller, and then morphed into a towering warrior-king, crowned with white fire and readied for battle. “My name is Story, and I cannot be unwritten.””
