Resistance of Posterity
"Speak. Now." The shadow cast over Hogarth's bowed head reared into full view, bearing eyes of luminescent violet and full lips, pressed into a grim line. Framed by shimmering silver tresses, the eyes bore into the top of Hogarth's blond head as the silence in the chamber grew.

I want to join the circus.” “Ok Kid, I’ve heard that before. You want to join the circus. What do you think you want to do?” “I’m not sure. I like elephants. I’m pretty good at working.
