• Mi ánimo mejoró a medida que me adentraba en el bosque, pero no pude recuperar mi anterior elasticidad mental. Descubrí que la alegría es como la vida misma: no se crea con ningún argumento. Más tarde aprendí que la mejor manera de controlar algunos tipos de pensamientos que llenan de dolor, es desafiarlos a hacer lo peor que puedan; dejarlos que yazcan y roan tu corazón hasta que se cansen, y descubras que todavía tienes un residuo de vida que no pueden matar. Así, mejor y peor, seguí adelante, hasta que llegué a un pequeño claro en el bosque.

No parpadees. No parpadees... Dos ráfagas de viento brotaron de las fosas nasales del wyvern Jack saltó en línea recta, rebotó en el suelo en otro salto y se encaramó al árbol más cercano. En el claro, Gastón se agachó, carcajeándose como un idiota. '¡No tiene gracia!

It's almost as if it will come fall right on your lap. I know that I want to be champion.
