__"We all know the InksPirate. It seeps out of our deepest subconcious, wraps inky tentacles of doubt, fear and sadness around the rainbow sails of our Ship of Dreams, which would take you anywhere your heart wishes to go. The Darkness slowly drains the Color and Thrill out of Life, but only if we let it be stolen. Dreams and Thrills in our sails are driving the power to overcome anything that tries to restrain the Ship" __
