Funny / Last Dragon Standing

• Svena confronts Amelia, and Amelia finally realizes what happens when you leave your only true rival and best friend alone with no idea that you were planning to attain godhood after death. Even Julius is sympathetic, though not for Amelia.
  • Even the beginning is hilarious. Svena unexpectedly barges in through their wards inside a magical fallout and while Julius tries to hide behind Amelia, Amelia immediately hides inside Julius' fire.
  • Amelia gets her payback when Svena in turn is confronted by her very angry lover/long-term business partner in the midst of a terrifying battle while Svena's carrying their multiple fluffy children.
• Julius' house — which was already missing walls due to events in the previous books — gets more damaged piled on top of it throughout the course of the story, much to his dismay. The house, originally a symbol of his hard-earned semi-independence from his Heartstriker family members, is practically destroyed by the end of this entire series.
• Svena's youngest sister trying to convince her not to take having a chance of a Seer stolen from her family by Bob too badly.
  Katya: You remember how crazy Estella was at the end. Brohomir's not even half her age, and yet he has a complex emotional relationship with a pigeon!
• After Svena stops trying to kill Bob, she tries to play up her "benevolence." Amelia scoffs that Svena wouldn't be able to kill Julius any more than anyone else could have. Svena doesn't even bother denying it, and just says she was planning to go around him.
• Amelia explaining how she read Svena's secret technique in her fire.
  Amelia: Hey, god here, remember? I see you when you're sleeping, I know when you're awake. I know if you've been bad or good, so do what I say, for goodness' sake!
  Svena: First, that doesn't even work with the song. Second, Santa Claus is not a god, so your comparison isn't just stupid, it's also incorrect. Third, this whole thing is invasive and disrespectful. I never gave you permission to read things out of my fire!
• Shortly after Svena complains about Amelia invading her privacy by reading her fire, she demands that Amelia tell her everyone else's secrets.
• How does Svena convince Amelia to never try to read her fire again? Threaten to show her memories of having sex with Ian, one of Amelia's brothers. Amelia grumbles about her pulling out "the nuclear ordnance" straight out of the gate.
  Amelia: You've never fought fair. But fine, whatever, do it your way. So long as the teleporting gets done, I don't care if you make the circle out of orphan hearts.
  Svena: [confused] What are you talking about? The hearts of children without parents are no more magical than the hearts of any other child, which is to say not very magical at all. You know perfectly well that humans are a vastly inferior source for—
  Amelia: For the love of—it was a joke. Just cast your spell before Julius has a conniption.
• Justin lampshades Julius' odd talents.
  Justin: (completely annoyed at the delay) Yeah what he said. Now can we get going? At this rate Julius would probably trip on something and kill the Leviathan by accident before we even get there, the lucky bastard.
• When the entire Heartstriker clan shows up to the fight, Ian gestures for Julius to join him next to Bethesda. Julius's Facepalm at their mother's loud gloating results in him completely missing the signal.
• Justin reacts to Julius's shock at learning that Marlin Drake is their father and no one ever told him with mild indignation.
  Julius: You’ve known who our father was since we were seventeen, and you never told me?
  Justin: You never asked! I’m not psychic! I don’t know what you want. Even when you do tell me, it doesn’t make sense half the time.
• Myron's incredibly dry commentary.
  Myron: This is the easiest way into the Heart of the World's holding chamber, so as they say in your country: "Geronimo".
  Raven: No Native American says that.
• Frederick kicks Chelsie out of the mountain to force her to finally take a vacation, his excuse being that F-clutch needs to get to know their new sister. He also did the same thing to Xian.
  Julius: Wait, wait, wait. Fredrick got the Golden Emperor kicked out of China?
  Chelsie: Actually, I'm pretty sure that part was Xian's idea. I find it highly convenient that my children kicked me out at the exact same time as my ex's subjects suddenly decided he needed a week off.
• Chelsie and Xian can't make it to the important peace conference, because a freak storm stranded them in the Bahamas.
  Marci: Sounds to me like Mr. Magical Good Fortune didn't want to leave his love nest to go to a meeting. Would a "getting lucky" joke be out of place?
• This gem from Julius' mother.
  Bethesda: The plan is still on, right? You haven't killed it or something stupid like that?
  Julius: Why would I kill it? It was my plan.
  Bethesda: Yes, but I like it, and you always destroy the things I like so...
• "Why would anyone put chicken on a waffle?" Even The Black Reach gets his moments.
  • The Black Reach calls out Bob for making a prediction on Julius' future title "the Peacemaker" as Bob would be the sole reason it would spread.
