"The dark and terrible antithesis of nature was Kurai. The force that drove men to hack at the sheltering forests, and leave deep gashes, long in healing, in their mother, the earth, was Kurai. The thought that drove some elves to disdain men as inferior, and leave them to hurt others and die in ignorance, was Kurai. It was the most evil, vile, terrible, ruinous force in the world, and at this time it was strong. It brought the ceaseless winter, and had turned the wolves and coniferous trees to its cause. Its demons were horrid things that razed anything they found, heartless, merciless embodiments of evil."

"I need a weapon," Valkyrie muttered
"You're an Elemental with a Necromancer ring, trained in a variety of martial arts by some of the best fighters in the world," Skulduggery pointed out. "I'm fairly certain that makes you a weapon."
"I mean a weapon you can hold. You have a gun, Tanitha has a sword...I want a stick"
"I'll buy you a stick for Christmas."
