A collection of EXCERPTS. [poetry, quotes, and otherwise]. Your place to come when you feel lonely, because you're not alone when you feel this way. "We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going insane and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't." IMPORTANT: Read 'not an update; read please' beforehand. Note: parts more towards the end are fairly better than the beginning, just a fair warning. **TRIGGER WARNING** [Highest ranking: #1 in Poetry]

He hates the High Demon Prince with every fiber of his being and is prepared to do whatever it takes to overthrow the dominion of demons. But their captive--the one Remgar is charged to torture and kill--is not the High Demon Prince. They have captured the younger brother, Isalio. And Remgar is not prepared for Isalio.
