...that’s why they should rule the world. That’s why I imagine, every morning, a world where Puff is king, where we all frolic, hand in hand, dragon wing in dragon wing. Where we are all magical, powerful, kickass, awesome, flying, breathing fire, and chilling together, forever, and ever. And ever...
