“Can we really do this?” I asked, looking around at all of them. “That would be freakin’ amazing.”

“I think Lucas will agree with me, and most likely Larry after what Anna did, that the Council no longer serves its purpose,” Marco stated. “The dragons and phoenixes here don’t need a Council—they need a Queen.”
“Whether they realize it yet or not,” Henry agreed.

“They want to leave the mountain,” I said, looking back down at the letter to make sure it was real. “They want me as their leader.”
