"Nothing is impossible when youโve lived as long as I have, child."
"You killed my parents," Elara said in a low voice. She was so mad that her hands were shaking.
"I had to." Things were going to go badly because of them.

"What am I?" Elara asked. "The last of the first family. The daughter of the original werewolf-witch mix."

"Did she?" The thing laughed. "Or did she just learn to hide very, very well?" Baby Truth started crying.
"Sheโs telling the truth," the baby said through her tears. "Elaraโs different from all the other Catalysts."
"How different?" Kael asked, moving closer to Elara. "Sheโs not just a Catalyst," baby Wisdom said sadly.
