Dinosaurs Quote by Skye Melki-Wegner
““In the Deadlands, they had learned the truth. The war between their kingdoms was a sham, hatched by their kings to save their own necks. A fraudulent conflict, churning out bodies as payment to the secret Carrion Kingdom. In exchange for their protection, the kings allowed the carnivores to feast on their fallen soldiers.””
