Fighters Quote by Rae Carson
““Even if they were trained fighters, they'd likely be as pathetic as the rest of Joya d'Arena's military." "Our pathetic military defeated yours in a single battle," I snap, before remembering that Storm is probably goading me for personal amusement. "No, my dear Queen, you did," he says. "You and your Godstone.””
