Quotes edit see section history

  • “Only one unspoken rule existed. The two vastly different creations, humans and Atlanteans, were never to meet, never to interact, never to fall in love. Someone should have told Grayson James.”
  • “I'm schizo." The statement burst from his mouth, too shocking and surreal to keep inside. "I've finally jumped over the ledge of sanity with thousand-pound weights tied to my ankles.”
    Grayson James
  • “A name is such a simple thing. Surely you can tell me yours." "I can't" "Yes, you can. Open your mouth and let sound come out. Try it, you might like it.”
    Grayson and Jewel
