Married Pikkian Quote by Kristin Cashore
““Mydogg’s sister Murgda has just married a Pikkian,” Roen said, “a naval explorer of the eastern seas. And we have reason to believe that lately Mydogg has been recruiting Pikkians into his Dellian army. And having some success at it.” Fire was startled; this was news, and not of the happy variety.””
