Minden kötet elején található egy hosszabb-rövidebb költemény, amely a kötetet indítja, illetve ami valamilyen módon fellelhető az adott kötetben. Ezeket hoztam most el, egyelőre angolul, de valószínűleg így is marad.

1. kötet - A Halál és az Eper

"We fear that which we cannot see"

2. kötet - Viszlát törpepapagáj, jó éjt hugi

"People have hope, because they cannot see death standing behind them."

3. kötet - Emlékek az esőben

"If I were rain
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch
Could I join two hearts as well?"

4. kötet - A quincy íjász utál téged

"We are drawn to each other
Like drops of water, like the planets
We repulse each other
Like magnets, like the colors of our skin"

5. kötet - Az óriás jobb keze

"I can't protect you
without holding a sword,
I can't embrace you
while holding a sword"

6. kötet - A Halál Trilógia nyitánya

"Yes
there is no fate for us,
Only those that are swallowed
by ignorance and fear
and miss a step,
Fall in to the rapid river
called fate"

7. kötet - A törött kóda

"We should not shed tears
That is a surrender of the body to the heart
It is only proof
That we are beings that do not know
What to do with our hearts"

8. kötet - A Penge és én

"If it rusts,
it can never be trusted
If its owner fails to control it,
it will cut him
Yes, pride is
Like a blade"

9. kötet - Tizennégy nagy összeesküvésért

"Oh, all of us dream
That we are flying the skies
With our eyes open"

10. kötet - Tetoválás az égen

"We reach out with our hands
Brush away the clouds and pierce the sky
To grab the moon and Mars
but we still can't reach the truth"

11. kötet - Egy csillag és egy kóbor kutya

"Light a fire to the fang that cannot be reached
So that I do not have to see that star
So that I do not slit this throat"

12. kötet - Virág a szakadék szélén

"We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful
because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge,
unable to step out into the sky
like that fearless flower"

13. kötet - A halhatatlan

"Every time we set aside our pride
We take a step closer to the beast
Every time we kill an emotion
We take a step away from the beast"

14. kötet - A Fehér Torony lengése

"Creak, creak, tower of purgatory
Piercing the world like light
Sway, sway, tower of spine
Will it be us or the sky that falls?"

15. kötet - A holnap halálának kezdete

"I just keep practicing
Saying goodbye to you"

16. kötet - Wijnruit éjszakája

"The mane of the sun pouring down
Erases the footprints on thin ice
Do not fear deception
The world already lies atop deception."

17. kötet - Vörösebb a rózsánál, fehérebb a liliomnál

"Red like blood.
White like bone.
Red like solitude.
White like silence.
Red like the senses of a beast.
White like the heart of a god.
Red like molten hatred.
White like chilling cries of pain.
Red like the shadows that feed on the night.
Like a sigh piercing the moon
It shines white, and scatters red."

18. kötet - A Haláleper visszatér

"Your shadow, quietly
Like a vagrant poison needle
Stitches my footsteps.
Your radiance, lithely
Like lightning striking a water tower
cuts down the source of my life."

19. kötet - A fekete Hold felemelkedése

"No, nothing can change my world."

20. kötet - A hipnózis vége

"Those who do not know what love is
liken it to beauty.
Those who claim to know what love is
liken it to ugliness."
