[VXA]Destitute

A game by Archeia, rhyme, Marimo, Caz and thernz!

Across the crystal floor he laid down with a smile on his face.
The peaceful serenity baffled her and the burning conviction she once had crumbled.

Everything about this child confused her. An abnormality.
Nothing like she had ever experienced before.

It disgusted her knowing that the child realized something that she couldn't.
She longed for an answer herself and she couldn't even ask him the conclusion he came to.

The anger overflowed in her and the pent up emotions she held for so long burst.

Questions overwhelmed her more than answers.
What were they fighting for in the first place?

How is he able to smile until the very end?

I am very impressed, Nessiah. I can't wait to see a demo.

Its all very shiny! I second MA, demo please!

I shall totally have to look at this when the mill lets me go home. I'm actually more excited to see this since I can't see the images yet.

And I'm sure making a pet bird my lover will make sense as soon as I start playing...

Oh my I love the sprited battlers!  I may have to do the same for future projects of my own.

This looks impressive!
