As if reading my thoughts, he glanced at me, his eyes glimmering with the same hope and nerves that I felt. “I fear that the Dragon Realm is far from the home we once knew.”
I nodded. “I know,” I assured him. “That doesn’t make me love it any less.”
“Your devotion has always been admirable to me,” Axureon said softly.
