[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 3999205, member: 386"] [b]Scene. Petrus Shir Dil, Building (by way of Kofer Pyatt):[/b] Surene Vachir Edrene sits cross-legged in a small cave.

The drug opens his mind and he sees the world through his bright mark as though he were in a dream. He opens his eyes. Petrus Shir Dil sits across from him. "The Worm ravaged this world.
