Madnes Destiny
Busy with my current WIP V.Chronicles, I wasn’t able to write up a chapter for this week, sadly. But to keep in the Madnes Solver theme as my friend Candice suggested, I give you this rhyme based on the character Madnes and his story! I hope you enjoy. The new chapter will post next week. :)
