The prisoners inside the asylum cages, some too weak to stand, others beaten and broken into shells of themselves, can hear whispers that something has changed inside the cells, can hear singing, and rattling of bars, hollers of ‘let us out!’ The cries of freedom, get louder and drown out the darkened despair of lives lost to brutality, to Lord Anderson’s war.

Helga Ritter was not on the lower deck when Alexand chased her footsteps. But Alexand knew Helga would escape, because the Amanojuko Lady had always escaped, and would forever in an endless cycle escape from this ship, on this day. She could not change this, no matter how much she wanted to.(Unbound Boxes Limping Gods is back after a break. Thank you to everyone for your support.
