Abyssus 486 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thales stood on the beach staring out into the ocean, clutched in his hand was a curious engraved device. A moment passed in silence before the roaring of thunder took hold and the skies turned black as the ocean churned. "They have arrived." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
