It 's going to end up being a pretty long letter, so bear with me. Before I found out about you guys, I had never cared that much about music.

As I am a fair man, you will be pleased to know that comparing today vs previous days, I didn't increment as much how hard I…

"I have no use for cowardice pigs in my army!" A gruff voice echoed. Laying the boys lifeless body upon the ground, Arien focused his attention upon the hilltop. "He did not deserve such a fate! You bastard!" Intrigued the King stepped out from behind the wall of thrity or so archers, "And who are you?" he questioned calmly as though nothing had happened.
