Nyx is my favorite, except for when she chooses her family over Ignifex, because her family sucks and Ignifex is Ignifex. Sex over whiny sister! I'd have left them high and dry for sure.<br /><br />IGNIFEX. I ship them so much that I literally cannot ship them more. They are all ships in the world built into one monster ship.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646664861833035183.post-32408553366572680652014-01-22T13:39:32.936-08:002014-01-22T13:39:32.936-08:00I hope you fall onto the positive side!
