Eaon-r-jackson Quote by Eaon R Jackson
““There is a saying' said Milandra 'about a view of distant castles. My father would say that from afar, they all looked so imposing. It is only when you approach them that you will see the crumbling walls and realize that they are as all other castles, houses or even peasant's hovels.””
