I can't accept this. We've found no reason that so many lives were lost in this place. We scraped by yet another fight that could have expired Gwen.. It could have taken us all. So why here? There can't just be nothing. There has to be more than a cruel joke or is this really just a cave many swords were sent to as a means of execution. -This show …

It's strange how easy it is to find even more reasons to keep fighting when it would just be so easy to be let to exist. To not spend so much time and energy on "fixing" this world.

Our Swords go Shopping.. or.. Stealing? You decide!De către Blaise Lacktis
