Destiny (Prologue)My father always wanted me to learn battle tactics. I saw no point in them, really. After all, what does a twelve year old boy need to know about battle?

Even though I am an avid TREASURE PLANET fan, I really enjoy other work like Traditional artwork, digital, and photography. I would be here all day trying to list all of my interests in art and fiction.  |
