Under cold water, till she chokes.

PROJECT M : To protect freedom against oppression

Uncategorized
Apollonia Saintclair 1055 – 20240203 Le pacte secret (To protect freedom against oppression) – sketch

“Together they form an occult society,

A ring of protection, hidden but strong,

Forged by devotion, a sworn company,

A cult against oppression and wrong.

.

The circle that binds them all

Towards a common destination,

Is also what condemns them all

To suffer the same retribution.”

Haunted by feverish clairvoyants,

Slip into my city with a smile

And capture all living souls

To burn them at the stake”
