"After a long life of death and despair, our souls are dark and we are easily tempted. Sometimes we are no longer able to make the choice that we should. We no longer have the will to throw ourselves to the dawn. It is a terrible thing. Those who are that way should have greeted the dawn long before. But there is no longer enough hunters for us to do so anymore, so we stay longer than we should."

"Yes. It is a grave matter. That is why it is important that you become a great hunter."

"Without a lifemate, you will only be able to feel the thrill of the kill. And it will gnaw at you every time you feed, growing stronger each time. You'll see in black, white, and gray, with barely even a memory of the color to hold on to. And if you are lucky, you will have someone to go through this with, to help keep you strong. If you are not strong, disciplined, and bound to your honor, you'll become a vampire long before you reach my age. And then someone will be forced to hunt you."

"It is not impending doom. You have one hope, and you should search for her when you are not tracking and eradicating the undead from the world."

"You should have asked that when we first began talking." Nicholai pulled his wrist up to his mouth and tore it open. "I offer freely to you."
