Dark Souls 2

Bearer of the curse, seek misery. Seek souls. As she speaks to me, the ocean crashes upon the cliffs around Majula, the haven. I stand and stare into the distance. The bonfire behind me crackles, a candle of warmth encroached upon by the sea. Surrounding Majula is the misery she wants for me. A sunken… Continue reading Dark Souls 2
