My very best friend in the entire realm has saved my life on many occasions. My very best friend in the entire realm has stuck by my side since we became friends. My very best friend in the entire realm is also in need of a fantastic, superb, and incredible birthday gift. (He’s turning twenty-six.). “You don’t need to get me anything, Claire.” he said when I asked him what he wanted. “I gotta get you something.” I had said. “You’re my very best friend in the entire realm. What about a new sword? Didn’t you drop yours in that chasm?” (I was r...
