a trip to lestallum was long overdue, all things considered. it could well be her last time in the coastal city, and she did not wish to squander such a blessing -- the water would be forever implanted in her mind, just like all the other cities she refused to forget. tenebrae’s glass hallways were limited, like any prison castle, and after the traumatic events that occurred in insomnia ...
