One month from now I'll be away. Far away. If there's a thing called the Magellan achievement, I'll acquire it given I don't die in the Phillipines during a skirmish.

He remembers the battles fought, all lost. He had the courage to fight, to challenge, to spread his wings. He dared and won ( Read more... )
