Beneath Ceaseless Skies #20 Read online

  One day I will find the words I seek and upon that day I will leave the Bone House and journey south. I will have my revenge upon those who took my mother and father from me. I will stand upon the battlefields and utter the Terrible Words that that destroy flesh and blood and stone and steel. My father was a kind and forgiving man, but I am not.

  A world without life will be a world at peace.
