The Family of Deceit
(This story was inspired by the above shot taken at Gallifrey One this weekend) “You invited who to the castle, my King?” “That family we encountered at – where do you say we were this weekend, Nyx?” “Gallifey One, my liege.” “Ah yes, Gallifrey.” Sombra paused as a crystal slave pony […]
