Quotes by Urzen
Urzen: If he had sounded his horn—
Theon: Try and imagine it was you up here, Urzen. It's dark and cold. You have been walking sentry for hours, looking forward to the end of your watch. Then you hear a noise and move toward the gate, and suddenly you see eyes at the top of the stair, glowing green and gold in the torchlight. Two shadows come rushing toward you faster than you can believe. You catch a glimpse of teeth, start to level your spear, and they slam into you and open your belly, tearing through leather as if it were cheesecloth. And now you're down on your back, your guts are spilling out, and one of them has his teeth around your neck. Tell me, at what moment during all of this do you stop to blow your fucking horn?[1]—Urzen and Theon Greyjoy
