Neighbor of Kimble is another classic museum, which is as impressive as Kimble. This was my second visit to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and I would gladly like to go back again and again.

I jump at the sound of the little crackle in her voice that was caused from having way one to many smokes throughout her lifetime. "Brexley! I am talking to you young lady!" "I'm sorry?" I look up at the teacher while the rest of the class laughs. I roll my eyes, nothing more than being laughed at…

“The shadow beasts are nothing compared to the nocturnals. The nocturnals are powerful creatures that can stand toe to toe with heavenly spirits like myself.” “I’ve trained to become stronger, I won’t lose to anyone or anything. Eido we have to fight, I have to get to Pele. I want to hurry up and go home.” “The numbers are too great, Isaac.
