Scar Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““War would linger with me long after it had ended, some invisible scar that would perhaps face, but never wholly vanish. But for my home, for Prythian and the human territory and so many others... I would clean my blades, and wash the blood from my skin. And I would do it again and again and again.””
