"Just this one bowl," Qibli said grumpily. "Because it's the stupidest bowl in Pyrrhia." Peril edged a little closer and peered at it. "Huh," she said. "Looks like a norm — nope!" she interrupted herself, seeing the look on his face. "You're right! Stupidest bowl I've ever seen! Can I join in? HEY, BOWL, YOUR SHAPE IS INANE! FOOD PROBABLY FALLS OUT OF YOU ALL THE TIME! I BET YOU DON'T EVEN STACK WELL IN CABINETS! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE THE WORST! Ooh, this is great. Let's do it every day! I feel much better."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"If you have too much of a plan, it'll show up in Darkstalker's view of the future," Anemone observed. "See, so it's actually better to wing it," said Qibli. "Ha ha, dragon pun, wing it. I'm hilarious." He did a little flip in the air."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"You're right," Qibli said to her. "Underneath the brainwashing genocidal murderer is a very lonely brainwashing genocidal murderer"
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Winter? Everything all right?" "I can't go there," Winter said. "Why not?" Qibli asked, startled. "It's cursed." Winter waved a talon at the sharp-edged shapes of the mountains. "No IceWing has ever returned from those mountains alive. They're a legend as old as Darkstalker in our tribe." "With a poetically ominous-sounding name, I bet," said Qibli. "Peaks of Doom? Mountain Range of Certain Death?" Winter frowned at him. "We call them Darkstalker's Teeth," he said with immense dignity. "Seriously?" Qibli cried. "SERIOUSLY? A mountain range called Darkstalker's Teeth, and you never thought maybe the old Night Kingdom was on the other side?" "It's not like I think about it very often!" Winter objected. "And no, honestly, we all assumed he went around cursing random parts of Pyrrhia as traps for IceWings to fall into." "What are we waiting for?" Anemone demanded, flying back to them. "Winter thinks the mountains are going to eat him," Qibli answered. "I DO NOT," Winter protested. "But I do think they're going to kill me, yes." "Um, a whole horde of dragons just flew over them a few days ago." Anemone flicked her tail at the evening sky, dimming to purple. "And they're all fine." "Because they're not IceWings," Winter pointed out. "The mountains only eat IceWings," Qibli explained with a straight face. "STOP THAT," Winter hissed at him. "It's a REAL CURSE." "If it's real, then it's not a curse, it's a spell," Qibli said practically. "And if it's a spell, then Darkstalker cast it, in which case the earring will protect you." Winter touched his ear doubtfully. One piece of jewelry against centuries of nightmare stories … Qibli could practically see Winter's courage trying to stamp out his childhood fears. "You'll make it through," he said. "Remember, Moon is on the other side." He knew that would work, because it was working for him. Winter gave him a puzzled look, as though he would never understand Qibli. "Yes," he said. "All right. Let's fly." "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally," Anemone grouched, wheeling about in the sky. As"

"Well, Onyx told me that Queen Thorn had sent her a message asking for us, and I thought, whoa, that's kind of awesome, but guess what, that turned out to be a LIE, Qibli! She was LYING to me! Why would she DO that?" Ostrich shot Onyx a resentful look. "And we were halfway to the palace when suddenly THIS guy showed up with, like, EIGHTY creepy dragons in hoods and they bossed us all here instead, although I was pretty sure Thorn wouldn't be here, and I was right, and then they said I couldn't leave, and finally I realized Onyx was actually WORKING with them, and then I was, like, ARRRGH NOOO, I'm a stupid HOSTAGE again, aren't I?"
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Sunny?" he said. "Qibli!" she cried. "Um … yes?" he said. "QIBLI!" she cried again, leaping to her feet. Her wings flared open in a glittering whirl. "A gigantic all-powerful possibly evil dragon just rose out of the ground and flew away with six of my students! SIX OF MY STUDENTS!" "I know," he said. "Uh, don't panic?" "Too late," Peril said, watching with bewildered amusement."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Who would say no to their secret dream come true? Why would I ever say no? Say yes to the magic. Say yes to the bright future. Say yes. Qibli looked up into Darkstalker's eyes and said, "No."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Moon took up so much of his headspace. He caught himself watching her the way he used to watch Cobra, hoping for a glance that would hint she might love him back. He wanted to bring her new scrolls that would make her face light up. He wanted to make her soup when her visions gave her headaches and sing her silly songs to help her stop worrying. He wanted to fly beside her while she saved the world."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Last one," Winter said, pointing to the mirror. "Try Tsunami." "She's probably back at the academy," Qibli said with a sigh. Most likely she'd arrived at the rainforest after everyone had left, and they were too far ahead for her to figure out where they'd gone. But he whispered her name to the mirror and breathed out smoke. It seemed to take a moment, coiling back and forth and around before settling into a blue spiral in the center, which immediately started yelling. "I SAID WHO ARE YOU?" shouted Tsunami's voice. "You coward! Show yourself! What do you want with me?" She took a deep breath, as if listening for a response, then roared again. "LET ME OUT OF HERE! My friends are heroes, you know! YOU'LL BE SORRY FOR THIS!" Thorn's eyes met Qibli's, both of them shocked into silence. Tsunami wasn't safely back at Jade Mountain after all. The great warrior of the Five Dragonets, one of the best and most ferocious dragons Qibli knew, was somebody's prisoner."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"It used to be bigger," Anemone said with a shrug. "Earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves, something something blah blah blah. Darkstalker was a little melodramatic about it, to be honest, like Roar where did my kingdom goooooooo, but like, what did he expect? I mean, he's been gone for thousands of years. Of course it's different. Anyway, the tribe is small enough to live there just fine for now, and he was already muttering about pulling rocks out of the sea and rebuilding the whole place with his magic." She made a grumpy huffing sound with her nose. "I was supposed to help him, but I'm CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO NOW." Qibli"
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"She had a really odd expression on her face, as if the agony of the prophecy vision had suddenly popped and meerkats had come cartwheeling out of the cracked mountain instead of death."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"She went to CLASSES. And STUDIED. And had HOMEWORK. And did projects with OTHER DRAGONS. It was SO WEIRD."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Sleepy," he said promptly. "Mommy made me get up SO EARLY." "Which is not how most dragons would describe noon,"
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"He looked at the animus-touched bracelets on his wrists again, itching to use them against Darkstalker. He wanted to throw a lightning bolt into the NightWing's grinning face."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Darkstalker spread his wings and paused. He leaned over to Vulture, tapped his head, and whispered something. Qibli's grandfather vanished again, as suddenly as he'd appeared."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"and a small glass vial with an emerald-green liquid inside."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"Mightyclaws is working on it now," Hope answered. She nodded at the dragonet crouched over a flat rock in the pavilion, drawing intently on a square piece of paper. Queen Glory sat beside him, her scales all gold and dark purple, watching quietly over his shoulder. Behind her, Deathbringer was eyeing the forest fiercely. Most NightWings had accepted earrings to free themselves from all of Darkstalker's spells, even the ones that gave them extra powers."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons

"A gust of wind lifted a spray of sand and danced it across the dunes."
― Tui T. Sutherland, Darkness of Dragons
