Land of Demons (Dragon Heart, #7) QUOTES

2 " Hi, big man!” A red flower appeared right under Hadjar’s foot. The creature sitting in its petals smiled up at him with its wide, sharp-toothed mouth, and stared at him with its huge, black eyes. Hadjar put his foot down next to the flower and squatted down. “Can I ask you a question?” The creature frowned, as if considering his request, then nodded uncertainly. “But the question has to be small!” “Why?” Hadjar asked in surprise. The creature fluttered its long lashes and burst out laughing. “What a stupid big man you are!” It clutched its stomach and almost fell off the petal. Hadjar pushed the creature back inside the flower with the tip of his index finger. “Thank you, big man.” It smiled. “The question should be small because I’m small. If you ask me any big questions, their weight will crush me.” The creature crossed its arms and frowned. “I don’t want to be crushed!” It stamped its foot. “We’re crushed even without your stupid questions and-” “Where should I go?” Hadjar interrupted it. The flower and the creature swayed slightly. Had Hadjar asked something else, the creature would’ve probably been crushed by the weight of his question. “It’s big,” the creature rasped. “They’ll call you, big man. They call everyone-” “But-” “No more questions!” The creature wagged its finger threateningly at Hadjar. “I’m a flower, not a turtle! They are old and wise and know how to answer questions. "
