Speaker 1: The tomb of the martyrs. There are some bad people
Speaker 1: buried here. Is there anyone there? Wake up? Watchman? Where
Speaker 1: are you? What do you want? The sun is not
Speaker 1: up yet? You think the dead care? Do you think
Speaker 1: I care? Let me in? What do you want? Shadya
Speaker 1: she fights a sultan Algori. She was later rest here.
Speaker 1: Indeed she was. I need to see her go away
Speaker 1: by order of the Grandmaster, amal Rick. You will let
Speaker 1: me in. Not strictly true, but I still have his
Speaker 1: Sigel Balladack. You don't look like a Balladack officer, really,
Speaker 1: are you prepared to take the risk? Over there? Bring
Speaker 1: a torch? M all right. This is the only resting
Speaker 1: place of the great Lady Changel. We need to open it.
Speaker 1: Help me, help me, or I will call my ballorad
Speaker 1: brothers and they will tear this place apart, every tomb
Speaker 1: of every sultan, wife and rotten official. Hold the torch closer.
Speaker 1: Her face painted on wood, her eyes sparkling in the light,
Speaker 1: as if in life, she dazzled the world in a
Speaker 1: time when everything seems certainly not anymore, No matter how
Speaker 1: beautiful or brilliant or powerful, we all arrived at this.
Speaker 1: Are you already offending. I knew her once you did. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you want with that? Help me to do? What?
Speaker 1: Move her? Hum gently? That's it? Lift ahead? What are
Speaker 1: you looking for? Yes? Her fees at cunning old fox.
Speaker 1: He was ahead of us all all this time. Ancient
Speaker 1: scrolls seal the tomb. Tell no one I've been here.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, you're no bella at night? What are you?

Speaker 1: receive many visitors. Would you care for anything? I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to eat or drink. You've had a long journey. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see this sultana. First, of course, it's
Speaker 1: just I'm sorry to ask you this. But by whose
Speaker 1: authority are you? Do you have an order? Not exactly?
Speaker 1: You see the painter signor pierro is into mamba signor
Speaker 1: matte el pierro. Yes, he has been commissioned. I am

Speaker 1: of the wonders of the world. Well, I need to
Speaker 1: see the Sultana because my master has been commissioned by
Speaker 1: the regents too. Sorry, the region mistress Fatima Fatimah. She
Speaker 1: has been appointed regent of to Mambay in the Sultana's absence.
Speaker 1: As she you will see very little news here. So
Speaker 1: my master is working on a great painting depicting the
Speaker 1: glory of Tombai, and he hadn't finished with his studies
Speaker 1: of the Sultana when she was unfortunately taken. Ill see,
Speaker 1: he needs her to fully finish the great work. So
Speaker 1: I have been sent here's my sketch book. Oh he's

Speaker 1: I recognize the gates of doors? That's right. I sketch
Speaker 1: things wherever I And this is her, yes, yes, it is. Huh.
Speaker 1: It's as if she is looking straight at me. Remarkable.
Speaker 1: My sister had the same. Never mind that, perhaps we
Speaker 1: could go on. But if you have a sketch of
Speaker 1: her already didn't Why did you need to? It's what
Speaker 1: my master requires. She has requested that she'd be left alone.
Speaker 1: She will want to see me. Wait, please, can I

Speaker 1: it in the darkness tonight. But surely you will just
Speaker 1: make sketches and then take them back to the studio. Well,
Speaker 1: the final touches have to be done as the fires
Speaker 1: light up the sky, so I can see and feel
Speaker 1: the moment. I'm an artist. Did not question me the democrat. Hell,
Speaker 1: I'll find someone for you. You will have slaves. You
Speaker 1: go with Senor Piero. Make sure he has whatever he needs. Youtually,
Speaker 1: come with me, Sor Piero. Right, well, I need five

Speaker 1: All right, we need to do You have a sword? No?
Speaker 1: They took it from me at the gates. But I
Speaker 1: told you I was a common thief. Picking locks is
Speaker 1: not a skill you easily forget. I need some tools,
Speaker 1: a pin, anything small enough to turn quill? Would that were? Perhaps?
Speaker 1: I know where I can get one. Be quick? Yes,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Sor nothing to concern himself. We
Speaker 1: have a guest from Truman Bay. You can't be here.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's my sister. You can't touch her.
Speaker 1: Calm yourself, get out of here alone. So I beg
Speaker 1: you don't do this. Ah, get her go. She's not
Speaker 1: your sister. God, God, don't let her go. Old man,
Speaker 1: let go of me. Listen to me, friend, listen to me.
Speaker 1: I am older than you and wiser. I know many things.
Speaker 1: When I was a child, I was supposed to be killed.
Speaker 1: But the man charged with killing me showed me mercy.
Speaker 1: He allowed me to live. Do you think your sister
Speaker 1: would want you to do this? I said? What have
Speaker 1: I done forgive? Let me take the key from your belt?
Speaker 1: Or right? Taking me quick? It's just go. I've been bad,
Speaker 1: I've lost my way away, become a strange Yet is
Speaker 1: strange land? He's just waiting over already it was canceled
Speaker 1: and the feast. Excuse me? What about my horse? Where's
Speaker 1: my horse? We'll ride together? They let me help open
Speaker 1: the gates. Yeah, where are you going? Where do you
Speaker 1: want to go? I don't know. Yeah, it's not tight enough.
Speaker 1: Shall I bring your cloak? Yes? Brother? Is everything ready
Speaker 1: as you commanded? Grandmaster? Go ahead, fetch the huffies. You
Speaker 1: seem anxious. The low clouds are unexpected, unusual at this
Speaker 1: time of year, an unnatural event. The brothers are concerned
Speaker 1: the fires in the sky. Are they a message from God?
Speaker 1: What do they mean? Oh? Everything and nothing? But that
Speaker 1: means nothing. I will tell you this because I do
Speaker 1: care for you. You see I have failed, all have failed. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but but I'm grandmother. How are you feeling, holiness? Yeah? Good?
Speaker 1: Do you know the words? Of course? We have been
Speaker 1: practicing them all day, haven't we? All in us? Say
Speaker 1: go on I like we did before the wheel of
Speaker 1: life turns the waters flow. I think, Grandmother, I think
Speaker 1: it best not to tire his holiness at this time.
Speaker 1: I can assure you he will rise to the occasion.
Speaker 1: Take him to the carriage, stay with him, priest always,
Speaker 1: always heaven. I want you to ride next to me.
Speaker 1: Of course, Grandmaster, have been a faithful servant. The time
Speaker 1: is coming when we are going to save the people
Speaker 1: of two Night. Save them? How from what? From what?
Speaker 1: The brothers are ready? Grandmaster? Good? Then let it begin.
Speaker 1: I'm invisible as far as the Ballarak are concerned. I've
Speaker 1: done what the Grandmaster brought me back to do. I've
Speaker 1: delivered to her feast to him and no one. It
Speaker 1: seems it's interested in me anymore. I can move amongst
Speaker 1: them as I please and get the other half of
Speaker 1: the scrolls. Okay, wrist Christ what do you want, Gregor?
Speaker 1: What's going to happen? I can't speak to you. Why not?
Speaker 1: I have a job to do watching over the scroll what? No,
Speaker 1: the fist of course? Are they with her fists and
Speaker 1: the carriage? No, the Knights have them. They will hand
Speaker 1: them to be at a certain point. Then I will
Speaker 1: hand them to the haffies. And if he has any
Speaker 1: problems reading them, I will be there to prompt him.
Speaker 1: And if he falls over, but don't worry, I'll be
Speaker 1: there to hold him and help you as you please, Commander,
Speaker 1: as you please, come, Commander Gregor, you have decided to
Speaker 1: join us, Grandmaster, how did you? I have my eyes?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Heaven here she sees much. I'm not really
Speaker 1: a suitable candidate for the Battle Act. No one is
Speaker 1: beyond redemption. There is time for you. Yeah. Perhaps, in
Speaker 1: any case, I felt compelled to accompany you on such
Speaker 1: an historic occasion as you wish, Grandmasters. The Great Square
Speaker 1: is just ahead. It looks as if all of Tumun
Speaker 1: Bay has come as it is written, So it will
Speaker 1: be Heaven. I need to talk to you looking ahead
Speaker 1: on the stove. Hold back, hold back a bit, Let
Speaker 1: then ride ahead. The grand Master, did you do as
Speaker 1: I asked them? The husband and child fled the city
Speaker 1: two months ago. I don't believe you. I swear it's true.
Speaker 1: I have a note from your husband, quicken taking. He's
Speaker 1: given instructions how to find them. He will be waiting
Speaker 1: for you in serene, Thank God. The future of Tumuan Bay,
Speaker 1: the future of everything, depends on bringing the scrolls together.
Speaker 1: What the scrolls? The Grandmaster only has half of them.
Speaker 1: The other half I have safe. They need to be
Speaker 1: brought together to save the city, to save everything. Why
Speaker 1: you'll think I'm mad if I tell you sometimes they
Speaker 1: that mad myself. Believe me, I have seen madness, and
Speaker 1: you are not mad. There was is a traveler, a
Speaker 1: woman who I knew. She used to advise the Sultana.
Speaker 1: She died, but she's returned. She's traveled to distant lands
Speaker 1: and beyond. She knows many things. She has told me.
Speaker 1: Do you believe her? I do. Yeah, that does sound mad.
Speaker 1: Are you sure they'll be enthusiastic enough? Of course, it's
Speaker 1: been a long time since there's been a chance to
Speaker 1: celebrate and free refreshments are being distributed to one le.
Speaker 1: Did you make it clear that it's from me, that
Speaker 1: it's my gift to the people. Of course, of course, mistress. Come,
Speaker 1: they're waiting for you. This will be the climax of
Speaker 1: the chronicles. The city. No, the empire receives its mother.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you would like to gather yourself. I'll just make
Speaker 1: sure everything said. Yes, Grand Visia, the jelly doesn't work
Speaker 1: in the crowds. They're chanting her name. So how did
Speaker 1: you achieve that? What? We have agents in the crowd.
Speaker 1: When people know they are being watched, they do as
Speaker 1: they are to old good, good, well done. Can you hear, mistress?
Speaker 1: They are calling for you. Are you ready, Visier? Are
Speaker 1: you ready, mistress? Yes? If you could stand here, the
Speaker 1: door will swing open in three two. One step forward, mistress.
Speaker 1: Show them you are theirs and they are yours. You
Speaker 1: are one my people. They love me, they really do.
Speaker 1: My peoples here parts signor puiro. I trust all is
Speaker 1: in order. It's going to rain. I need shelter for
Speaker 1: the gandhas I can assure you it never reigns in
Speaker 1: Tuman Bass, so that is unlikely. Excuse me, good where
Speaker 1: are the ballarack? They're almost here, Mistress, I should be
Speaker 1: the one making the grand entrance. We entered the square
Speaker 1: and it is as if all Tuman Bay is here.
Speaker 1: Ballarak soldiers clear away through the crowds towards a high
Speaker 1: platform on the far side. What do you see? Haven't
Speaker 1: why the people cheering dancers by readers? I see the
Speaker 1: prison block on one side with a hundred gallows, and
Speaker 1: all around, high up on the walls, Ballarak soldiers are
Speaker 1: taking positions looking down enclosing the city. Grandmaster, I bid
Speaker 1: you welcome. I thought you would have come earlier to
Speaker 1: enjoy the entertainment. I thought God's fires would be entertainment
Speaker 1: enough Grandma's, but you put on some fair ground carnival. Come,
Speaker 1: grand Master, I am the regent. You are a guest
Speaker 1: soon to depart? Is that not so? It is? Undoubtedly?
Speaker 1: Then let this be a happy farewell for all our difficulties.
Speaker 1: Let us leave on good terms. And Master perhaps would
Speaker 1: like to come this way as you requested, We have
Speaker 1: prepared a tent for you where you can rest and
Speaker 1: watch as the evening unfolds. Shall I accompany? No, No,
Speaker 1: it has begun. It is a blessing, a sign of
Speaker 1: God's approval, Mistress, a sign of a new dawn for
Speaker 1: the empire. But unfortunately they can't see much, Grandmaster, through
Speaker 1: the clouds. You know it's never cloudy in Tuman Bay.
Speaker 1: Is that it is? That all there is, that Murdam
Speaker 1: is in the hands of the Almighty. There's a good job.
Speaker 1: We have other entertainment arranged. Let the executions begin the
Speaker 1: aqueduct first, if you will indulge me, Madam, ingratitude for
Speaker 1: your hospitality over these past moons. I would like to
Speaker 1: present our gift to the people of Tuman so they
Speaker 1: may drink the pure clear waters as he please, bring
Speaker 1: the helfied. He's sublime, Holiness the Huffies direct descendant of
Speaker 1: the teacher. Do you think you can stand? Take my
Speaker 1: hand and don't worry. I'm right beside your holiness. Remember
Speaker 1: the words, the week of life turns, the will of
Speaker 1: life turns, the water slope, the waters flow, Drink the
Speaker 1: water of life. Drink the water of life, and to
Speaker 1: be free, and be free, Let the waters flow, Let
Speaker 1: the waters flow, And I give the order, Grandmaster, Let
Speaker 1: the wheel turn, Let the wheel turn, Let the wheel down.
Speaker 1: Bring the scrolls forward. The her fees must bless the scrolls.
Speaker 1: A Ballora officer places a box and come to their
Speaker 1: fees helping it. And there they are. I could almost
Speaker 1: reach out and get their guarded closely. The her fees
Speaker 1: touches them, his fingers caressing the ancient parchment, a slight
Speaker 1: smile on his lips. Now it is take the cup, work, drink,
Speaker 1: see the words. I take this cup on, I take
Speaker 1: this cap and drink. Mhmm. Now you can withdraw in
Speaker 1: what there is life. In life, there is knowledge and hope. Drink,
Speaker 1: refresh your souls and rejoice in the medical existing holderness.
Speaker 1: What is it I think I think I've been. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with him is a sickly fellow. I don't think.
Speaker 1: Let us retire to my tent. Our time is should
Speaker 1: but the huffies shouldn't be helping. God will take care
Speaker 1: of the huffies. Take my hand, show me the way. Yes,
Speaker 1: whatever her THESI has been taken ill. God, you want
Speaker 1: to take his hood and us back to the palace.
Speaker 1: And it's raining, he told me. It never rains in Tumanda.
Speaker 1: I think we should move on swiftly, Mistress. We don't
Speaker 1: want the people to drift away. Yes, let's get on
Speaker 1: with the executions, of course, But perhaps whilst we wait
Speaker 1: for the prisoners to be brought forth, you should speak
Speaker 1: to the people, mistress. Yes, yes, it's time to tell
Speaker 1: them how much you love for them. Announcer. Now now, now,
Speaker 1: the mother of the Empire of Human Bays stand here, mistress.
Speaker 1: They will see you better speak to your people, people
Speaker 1: of Human Bay. My heart was broken when my adopted daughter,
Speaker 1: the Sultana Manel, was no longer able to continue her duties.
Speaker 1: I've often dreamed of this moment. So what happens next?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've always woken up just as the
Speaker 1: blind man puts the noose around her neck. Is that
Speaker 1: all you can say? They're bringing the prisoners out. Ready, careful,
Speaker 1: they'll see. They're bringing them all out, just the man.
Speaker 1: Surely the women are meant to be later. But I
Speaker 1: can see her. I can see Materna. They're leading her
Speaker 1: to the gallows. Perhaps they changed the plan because of
Speaker 1: the rain. They're doing it. Quickly, get the straw. Start
Speaker 1: the fire started, now, I will. Can you see any
Speaker 1: fires in the sky? No, Occasionally the clouds appeared to glow.
Speaker 1: You're disappointed, for the brothers expected more for me. How
Speaker 1: it happens makes no difference. I cannot see, but shortly
Speaker 1: I will have sight. Grandmaster, you requested that the scrolls,
Speaker 1: and then I will keep them here beside me as
Speaker 1: the end of time approaches. Is everything prepared? Yes, Grandmaster,
Speaker 1: then bring me the cup. Brother thank you. It has
Speaker 1: been an honor to serve you, Grandmaster. We all serve
Speaker 1: only one must. Now go take the brothers up onto
Speaker 1: the walls and wait. You may be needed yet, if
Speaker 1: is the rain come to cause any problems the door,
Speaker 1: the wheel is turning. The elixir is potent, the will
Speaker 1: the elixir I I don't understand. Brothers, Be resolute in
Speaker 1: your actions, be certain in your purpose. Do not doubt
Speaker 1: that we will be reunited shortly in the light. Go, brothers,
Speaker 1: Go distribute water, Make sure that all drink. If they won't,
Speaker 1: persuade them, offer them the chance of salvation. Yes, Miss
Speaker 1: Master Robert, read to me, Read from the scrolls, and
Speaker 1: you will understand. And at the end of times, the
Speaker 1: wheel of life will turn, and those who have drunk
Speaker 1: from the fountain drink from the cup. Don't question, just
Speaker 1: drink and you will be saved. The Aqueduct, the Alixiry,
Speaker 1: the promise of salvation. Those who drink will be saved.
Speaker 1: Those who do not will burn in the fires. Yes,
Speaker 1: the end is coming, Heaven, my dear child. The fires
Speaker 1: will destroy all, but those who can show their faith
Speaker 1: by drinking from the fountain will be saved. So take
Speaker 1: the cup. I will drink. After you come, we will
Speaker 1: drink together. No, my my duties to make sure your
Speaker 1: worldly body is treated with respect before I come. A
Speaker 1: body means nothing. It's ash. Now drink, Heaven. I need
Speaker 1: to know you will be saved. It's all right if
Speaker 1: you don't wish to bring me the scrolls, put them
Speaker 1: back in the box of me. Drink. I cannot leave
Speaker 1: you behind. If you burn in the fires, you will
Speaker 1: burn for ever. But if you drink now and come
Speaker 1: with me, you will be free in the spirit. Those
Speaker 1: who burn will burn for eternity. You'll need to trust me, Heaven.
Speaker 1: I do you know what the good? Then allow me
Speaker 1: to put the cup to your lips. Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: understand doubt. I understand weakness. You know in my weakness
Speaker 1: I have longed to see you, And when we are saved,
Speaker 1: I will see you, and in the next life. You
Speaker 1: will be as my daughter that heaven. Listen for yours,
Speaker 1: your world, listener for mine. Yeah we're not. I's not.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's too damp, light, dumb you light. It's
Speaker 1: no good. We need a distraction. We have to help.
Speaker 1: Your hands are bleeding. Okay, Yeah, something's happening. This has
Speaker 1: to work. It has to Frog. Stop. People are dying.
Speaker 1: I know no, they're falling down. The guds are just
Speaker 1: standing there staring out at the crowd. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: What's going on? What? The people are just dropping like flies? Frog? Frog?

Speaker 1: and have a complete lunithic go from go forever. We'll
Speaker 1: lose ourselves in the crowd. The rains have stopped, clouds
Speaker 1: are lifting. Did you see that, mistress? It's another one.
Speaker 1: The whole universe is celebrating your glory. Just Fatima, keep
Speaker 1: your head out. That's right, there's something happening. In the
Speaker 1: square below, people lying on the ground as if to
Speaker 1: better see the sky. Something's wrong, Commander, still here. I
Speaker 1: suppose you'll be leaving in the morning with your new friends.
Speaker 1: My do hope you enjoy the monastic life. What's happening
Speaker 1: here here? Look down there? The people are celebrating a
Speaker 1: new dawn, the rebirth of Tuman back. Oh, dear Gregor,

Speaker 1: You have them? I do I never doubted you. So
Speaker 1: what happens now? Give them to me? What will you
Speaker 1: do with them? Give them to me. They used to
Speaker 1: be all sorts of creatures. Here Sultan al Guri collected
Speaker 1: them from the furthest lands. Yes, I told you before.
Speaker 1: The world is like this menagerie, and it is in danger.
Speaker 1: But the scrolls, they are the promise. Promise for what
Speaker 1: the promise at the inception of the world, a contract
Speaker 1: between this world and the outside, that once the seeds
Speaker 1: are planted, the world will be left alone, and those
Speaker 1: who live on it will be allowed to det herm
Speaker 1: in their own future. The scrolls guarantee. That's right. You
Speaker 1: need to give me the scroll so that the fires stop.
Speaker 1: They will not stop until the scrolls are returned to me.
Speaker 1: You are so close, Gregor, We need to be quick.
Speaker 1: Look the fish, what in the pond floating? They've been
Speaker 1: poisoned too. These waters are fed by the aqueduct. See
Speaker 1: I see my reflection. The curious slave boy who arrived
Speaker 1: in two munday full of hope and ambition has become
Speaker 1: a lost and empty face gazing back at me through
Speaker 1: the surface of the water. I wonder what is on
Speaker 1: the other side, the other side another world. Nothing, there
Speaker 1: is nothing there. Come away. We need to act fast.
Speaker 1: And then, for a fleeting instant, I see her reflect
Speaker 1: action in the surface, and all at once everything comes
Speaker 1: into focus. When suddenly I understand the Queen. You might
Speaker 1: have seen a new dreams. Perhaps this has all been
Speaker 1: an illusion that she will wake inside your head. This
Speaker 1: is a kingdom that will be destroyed from within. One
Speaker 1: of them is inside you too. The scrolls were never
Speaker 1: about the past, they were about the future. Sarah. What
Speaker 1: I saw her reflection in the water. I heard her voice.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you are talking. Will wake up
Speaker 1: inside your head, maya you. We need to stop the fires.
Speaker 1: The fires, yes, the battle, I believe they herald the
Speaker 1: end of the world. But do they yes? Or is
Speaker 1: it merely a celestial occurrence. It has happened before, astrologers
Speaker 1: predicted their coming the battle. I believe the world is ending.
Speaker 1: But the end is coming, Gregor. Only the scrolls can
Speaker 1: save it. The important thing is that the scrolls are
Speaker 1: whole again. You have brought them together, Gregor, and you
Speaker 1: will be rewarded. Rewarded how with too, mum Bey the
Speaker 1: city is yours to rule. You mean I will do
Speaker 1: your bidding. You have proved yourself, Gregor, master of the
Speaker 1: Palace Guard, Gregor, Sultan of all he sees. No, you
Speaker 1: came here as a slave. You have a chance to
Speaker 1: be your slave. I was born free and I will
Speaker 1: die a free man. Just give me the scrolls, Greggor,
Speaker 1: and you can have all you desire. I can see
Speaker 1: inside your heart. Greggor, you are full of doubt, uncertainty.
Speaker 1: The world. It is not as you think it is.
Speaker 1: You need to have faith. You need to trust, Sarah, Gregor,
Speaker 1: I love you. If you love me, take my hand.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. Where's Alkin? Where did you go?
Speaker 1: Elkin died, she was hanged. Remember you cremated her, sent
Speaker 1: her body out to sea. You saw it. Give me
Speaker 1: what Maya desires. You're in my head. If I die,
Speaker 1: you die, Maya dies, and two Monday will be saved
Speaker 1: from one from us. Brother. Remember when we first came
Speaker 1: to Two Monday's boys, we thought we could conquer the city.
Speaker 1: We still can. You and I we can escape together, Gregor,
Speaker 1: you and I forever. Just give me the scrolls. No, No,
Speaker 1: you don't exist. You're in my head. Of course, I am.
Speaker 1: We are one. I am you. You are me. I've
Speaker 1: always been with you, brother, Give me the scrolls. I
Speaker 1: am your brother. No cool, and you are dead. No,
Speaker 1: I'm alive. Give me the scrolls and we can rule
Speaker 1: together as we always want. We are running out of time, Grickols.
Speaker 1: Your world is about to anything. The fires will stop
Speaker 1: as they did before. The city can survive them, but
Speaker 1: it cannot survive you. You are making a complete elephants
Speaker 1: ass of yourself. Little brother, I wonder if it's healthy
Speaker 1: being seen in your company anymore? What are you going
Speaker 1: to do? Run into the fire. You've always going to survive,
Speaker 1: a grandmoire. You're not going to do that. Throughout your life.
Speaker 1: You killed to survive. You have survived at any cost.
Speaker 1: Not this time, brother, What are you doing? Peace? No
Speaker 1: m hm. As the fire takes me, I gripped the
Speaker 1: scrolls hard and field a parchment disintegrate between my fingers.
Speaker 1: In my end is my beginning? Have I defeated? Maya?
Speaker 1: Will there be here tomorrow? There is a city far away.
Speaker 1: My parents often spoke of it as if it had
Speaker 1: always been there and always whitby. I had seen it
Speaker 1: in paintings, I had read of it in stories. The
Speaker 1: richest most powerful place on earth, the center of everything.
Speaker 1: It drew people from every corner of the empire and beyond,
Speaker 1: hungry for wealth and power, or in some cases, more
Speaker 1: wealth than more power. They were dazzled by its brightness,
Speaker 1: and like baths drawn to a candle. Many were burnt
Speaker 1: alife by its fire. Come and by why? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if there was anyone else. I saw
Speaker 1: some others having towards the city gates. I'm frog Heaven.
Speaker 1: Have you seen any Ballarat? No? Last night they were
Speaker 1: cutting everyone down. Then they drank their own poison. Damn them.
Speaker 1: Are you alone? No, it's safe. You can come out now.
Speaker 1: My name is Mittilla. Are you Heaven? Where are you
Speaker 1: going out of the city. I'm looking for my family.
Speaker 1: I think they're in Serene. Can we come to Yes?
