Quotes by Aaron Hodges (?)

“Fear is natural. We are all afraid at times. But you must not run from fear. If you do, it becomes a beast that will devour you. Real men take their fear and learn from it. Do not feed the beast,”
― Aaron Hodges, Stormwielder

“fingers clenched around the pommel of her sword. The blade trembled in her hand. Pressure swelled in her chest, her frustration bubbling within. Then she took a deep breath,”
― Aaron D. Hodges, Firestorm
