Quote by H. Anthe Davis

“Its back was to him, showing broad shoulders armored in bark and stone, black as night, and a thick mane cascading down its spine to a short deer-tail. For a moment all he could do was stare at the tail and think, Nothing on a Great Spirit should be that cute .” quote by H. Anthe Davis — Download Open image
