Journal entries
''There is a certain beauty in the windborn predator, whether eagle or falcon, as it circles and dives upon its prey. Of all the minions of Yaatz, there is a cast of warriors, that I've come to call Ladies of the Blades who inspire a similar charming fascination. They are a breed of wingless warrior, a literal heartbreaker, as elegant as a cat and as fine a sword wielder as I've ever confronted.''

''These lithe Warriors of Yaatz make me pine for the civilized world more than anything else still dancing in these wicked halls. I no longer fear they might kill me. I've forgotten what it is to be afraid of dying. I fear only that I might someday, in some bout of madness ask the Gods of Wonder to transform me into one, that i might dance with them, in one never-ending ballet of steel and graceful agony.''
