Jared Quote by Daniel Daniel Schwabauer
““What is a king, JaRed?" "A king," JaRed said, "is supposed to act like a king." "Yes." "The one who serves them!" "Yes." "Even when-" His words stopped. No more would come. He stared in silence. "The true king is the one who sacrifices himself for his people." In two strides the man towered above JaRed. "The one who loves them.””

![“Honestly, Jared, one thing at a time. Why are you in a well with me? This is a really bad rescue!" [...] "I called the police as I was running to the well. I'm sure they're coming." "Did they say they were coming?" Kami asked suspiciously. "Or did you shout, 'Kami's in the well!' before jumping in…” quote by Sarah Rees Brennan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b54/sarah-rees-brennan-994_bark_honestly-jared-one-thing-at-a-time-why-a_937874.jpg)
