Dragon Quote by Lisa McMann
““Hux closed his eyes and gave a ragged sigh, as if he’d been through a battle. Everyone around them became quiet, waiting to hear his response. Finally the dragon opened his eyes and looked at Alex, completely dejected. “Because if you don’t come, my sister Arabis the orange will be killed.””
