4.08 - The Fires

Sigel Balladack. You don't look like a Balladack officer, really, are you prepared to take the risk? Over there? Bring a torch? M all right. This is the only resting place of the great Lady Changel. We need to open it. Help me, help me, or I will call my ballorad brothers and they will tear this place apart, every tomb of every sultan, wife and rotten official. Hold the torch closer.

Her face painted on wood, her eyes sparkling in the light, as if in life, she dazzled the world in a time when everything seems certainly not anymore, No matter how beautiful or brilliant or powerful, we all arrived at this. Are you already offending. I knew her once you did. Well, what do you want with that? Help me to do? What? Move her? Hum gently? That's it? Lift ahead? What are you looking for? Yes? Her fees at cunning old fox. He was ahead of us all all this time. Ancient

scrolls seal the tomb. Tell no one I've been here. Wait wait, you're no bella at night? What are you? Who are you see? Better not to ask, my friend, Better not to ask two mon by, Season four, episode eight, The Fires by John Scott driving you're from touman By, saying that's right. Please sit down, so you see, it's important that I see as soon as possible. I had to wait outside the gates all night. Yes, yes, my apologies. You see some of our guards are well. We don't

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

My father took me and my sister too. Yes, one of the wonders of the world. Well, I need to see the Sultana because my master has been commissioned by the regents too. Sorry, the region mistress Fatima Fatimah. She has been appointed regent of to Mambay in the Sultana's absence. As she you will see very little news here. So my master is working on a great painting depicting the glory of Tombai, and he hadn't finished with his studies of the Sultana when she was unfortunately taken. Ill see,

he needs her to fully finish the great work. So I have been sent here's my sketch book. Oh he's so fine? Is that the me Daniel Sulliman. So and I recognize the gates of doors? That's right. I sketch things wherever I And this is her, yes, yes, it is. Huh. It's as if she is looking straight at me. Remarkable. My sister had the same. Never mind that, perhaps we could go on. But if you have a sketch of her already didn't Why did you need to? It's what

my master requires. She has requested that she'd be left alone. She will want to see me. Wait, please, can I come with you? Wait, I'll come straight back. Breakfast, Commander Dunty, bring the commander his breakfast. Nothing, thank you, mistress, just mint tea? You ready? Yeah, we're off. I thought you were done with work. Uncle says that's some finishing off. Come on, frog, just one moment. Did you do as I asked? So they are safe? The man and child?

You took them to the garden. They've gone? What left? The maid say they went two moons ago before the Ballarak locked down the city gates. Left to go where. I don't know, but she gave me this said they left it for whoever came looking. We need to go and I need to get back to my new friends, the Ballarak. I need to get the other half of the scrolls. I want a slave on every corner so that when Regent Fatima appears on the city walls, there

will yes, yes signor do you need something? Nothing is happening. I'm sorry. What my canvas lighting for the area around in My assistant has deserted me. I don't really need help to get the canvas outside and need to see it in the darkness tonight. But surely you will just make sketches and then take them back to the studio. Well, the final touches have to be done as the fires light up the sky, so I can see and feel the moment. I'm an artist. Did not question me the democrat. Hell,

I'll find someone for you. You will have slaves. You go with Senor Piero. Make sure he has whatever he needs. Youtually, come with me, Sor Piero. Right, well, I need five of you to go down to the gates. What do you think, uncle? Have you checked the trap door? Of course? Stand aside? Frog pull the ball? Not bad? Good? Me and Frog will make comments yet, right uncle, perhaps we can join you on your next job. That's well, that's it, boys, job done. That one's a bit now, it'll do the job.

We'll be taking them all down tomorrow. Anyway. Don't be, don't forget the rest of the pools. I'll help you. This is it. Don't be. Are you sure we should do it? What are you talking about? We agreed we can't back out, now, I know I know we're the sky rats. Yes, it's just wait, wait whereever you do. Going to get the tools from the hut quickly, then quickly we need to clear the same line up. I'm waiting for the gate to open quickly? Do you think

anyone's was I didn't know. It's gone very quiet. What can you see? Everyone's waiting for the guards to open the gates. Anyone looking over here? I don't think so they're opening the gates, So what now? Mm hmm, Hello, excuse me, I'm I'm looking for the Sultana Manel. She's staying here and she's in the throne room waiting for it all to be keen, waiting for what to begin the wedding. Of course, we're to have a feast. You know where is the throne room? Can you show me?

But we're not supposed to be there. Only the invited guests are allowed. But she would want to seem no I could be in trouble. No, no, you won't be in trouble. I am one of the guests. The Sultana is expecting me. I'm made to. You should have said quickly, then this one, this we come this way, let me through. He's late for the wedding. Come, come upending the throne, room offendy, I will withdraw, Thank you, enjoy it. We all wish the Sultana great happiness in her marriage. Yes, hello,

is anyone here? Hollell now we'll wake up? Hey, wake up, wake up, Come on, we've got to get you out of here. It's no good. Yes, chain me to the throne. Who sorry, it's all right, don't tell me please, I'm a friend. It's true. Moment has stayed with me and helped me. What is going on here? There has been a disturbance. The image have taken over the place I just sat with the governor. There is no governor anymore. All right, we need to do You have a sword? No?

They took it from me at the gates. But I told you I was a common thief. Picking locks is not a skill you easily forget. I need some tools, a pin, anything small enough to turn quill? Would that were? Perhaps? I know where I can get one. Be quick? Yes, what are you doing? Sor nothing to concern himself. We have a guest from Truman Bay. You can't be here. What are you doing? It's my sister. You can't touch her. Calm yourself, get out of here alone. So I beg

you don't do this. Ah, get her go. She's not your sister. God, God, don't let her go. Old man, let go of me. Listen to me, friend, listen to me. I am older than you and wiser. I know many things. When I was a child, I was supposed to be killed. But the man charged with killing me showed me mercy. He allowed me to live. Do you think your sister would want you to do this? I said? What have I done forgive? Let me take the key from your belt?

Or right? Taking me quick? It's just go. I've been bad, I've lost my way away, become a strange Yet is strange land? He's just waiting over already it was canceled and the feast. Excuse me? What about my horse? Where's my horse? We'll ride together? They let me help open the gates. Yeah, where are you going? Where do you want to go? I don't know. Yeah, it's not tight enough. Shall I bring your cloak? Yes? Brother? Is everything ready

as you commanded? Grandmaster? Go ahead, fetch the huffies. You seem anxious. The low clouds are unexpected, unusual at this time of year, an unnatural event. The brothers are concerned the fires in the sky. Are they a message from God? What do they mean? Oh? Everything and nothing? But that means nothing. I will tell you this because I do care for you. You see I have failed, all have failed. Yes, yes, but but I'm grandmother. How are you feeling, holiness? Yeah? Good?

Do you know the words? Of course? We have been practicing them all day, haven't we? All in us? Say go on I like we did before the wheel of life turns the waters flow. I think, Grandmother, I think it best not to tire his holiness at this time. I can assure you he will rise to the occasion. Take him to the carriage, stay with him, priest always, always heaven. I want you to ride next to me.

Of course, Grandmaster, have been a faithful servant. The time is coming when we are going to save the people of two Night. Save them? How from what? From what? The brothers are ready? Grandmaster? Good? Then let it begin. I'm invisible as far as the Ballarak are concerned. I've done what the Grandmaster brought me back to do. I've delivered to her feast to him and no one. It seems it's interested in me anymore. I can move amongst them as I please and get the other half of

the scrolls. Okay, wrist Christ what do you want, Gregor? What's going to happen? I can't speak to you. Why not? I have a job to do watching over the scroll what? No, the fist of course? Are they with her fists and the carriage? No, the Knights have them. They will hand them to be at a certain point. Then I will hand them to the haffies. And if he has any problems reading them, I will be there to prompt him.

And if he falls over, but don't worry, I'll be there to hold him and help you as you please, Commander, as you please, come, Commander Gregor, you have decided to join us, Grandmaster, how did you? I have my eyes? I'm sorry, Heaven here she sees much. I'm not really a suitable candidate for the Battle Act. No one is beyond redemption. There is time for you. Yeah. Perhaps, in any case, I felt compelled to accompany you on such an historic occasion as you wish, Grandmasters. The Great Square

is just ahead. It looks as if all of Tumun Bay has come as it is written, So it will be Heaven. I need to talk to you looking ahead on the stove. Hold back, hold back a bit, Let then ride ahead. The grand Master, did you do as I asked them? The husband and child fled the city two months ago. I don't believe you. I swear it's true. I have a note from your husband, quicken taking. He's given instructions how to find them. He will be waiting

for you in serene, Thank God. The future of Tumuan Bay, the future of everything, depends on bringing the scrolls together. What the scrolls? The Grandmaster only has half of them. The other half I have safe. They need to be brought together to save the city, to save everything. Why you'll think I'm mad if I tell you sometimes they that mad myself. Believe me, I have seen madness, and you are not mad. There was is a traveler, a woman who I knew. She used to advise the Sultana.

She died, but she's returned. She's traveled to distant lands and beyond. She knows many things. She has told me. Do you believe her? I do. Yeah, that does sound mad. Are you sure they'll be enthusiastic enough? Of course, it's been a long time since there's been a chance to celebrate and free refreshments are being distributed to one le. Did you make it clear that it's from me, that it's my gift to the people. Of course, of course, mistress. Come,

they're waiting for you. This will be the climax of the chronicles. The city. No, the empire receives its mother. Perhaps you would like to gather yourself. I'll just make sure everything said. Yes, Grand Visia, the jelly doesn't work in the crowds. They're chanting her name. So how did you achieve that? What? We have agents in the crowd. When people know they are being watched, they do as they are to old good, good, well done. Can you hear, mistress?

They are calling for you. Are you ready, Visier? Are you ready, mistress? Yes? If you could stand here, the door will swing open in three two. One step forward, mistress. Show them you are theirs and they are yours. You are one my people. They love me, they really do. My peoples here parts signor puiro. I trust all is in order. It's going to rain. I need shelter for the gandhas I can assure you it never reigns in Tuman Bass, so that is unlikely. Excuse me, good where

are the ballarack? They're almost here, Mistress, I should be the one making the grand entrance. We entered the square and it is as if all Tuman Bay is here. Ballarak soldiers clear away through the crowds towards a high platform on the far side. What do you see? Haven't why the people cheering dancers by readers? I see the prison block on one side with a hundred gallows, and all around, high up on the walls, Ballarak soldiers are

taking positions looking down enclosing the city. Grandmaster, I bid you welcome. I thought you would have come earlier to enjoy the entertainment. I thought God's fires would be entertainment enough Grandma's, but you put on some fair ground carnival. Come, grand Master, I am the regent. You are a guest soon to depart? Is that not so? It is? Undoubtedly? Then let this be a happy farewell for all our difficulties.

Let us leave on good terms. And Master perhaps would like to come this way as you requested, We have prepared a tent for you where you can rest and watch as the evening unfolds. Shall I accompany? No, No, it has begun. It is a blessing, a sign of God's approval, Mistress, a sign of a new dawn for the empire. But unfortunately they can't see much, Grandmaster, through the clouds. You know it's never cloudy in Tuman Bay. Is that it is? That all there is, that Murdam

is in the hands of the Almighty. There's a good job. We have other entertainment arranged. Let the executions begin the aqueduct first, if you will indulge me, Madam, ingratitude for your hospitality over these past moons. I would like to present our gift to the people of Tuman so they may drink the pure clear waters as he please, bring the helfied. He's sublime, Holiness the Huffies direct descendant of the teacher. Do you think you can stand? Take my

hand and don't worry. I'm right beside your holiness. Remember the words, the week of life turns, the will of life turns, the water slope, the waters flow, Drink the water of life. Drink the water of life, and to be free, and be free, Let the waters flow, Let the waters flow, And I give the order, Grandmaster, Let the wheel turn, Let the wheel turn, Let the wheel down. Bring the scrolls forward. The her fees must bless the scrolls. A Ballora officer places a box and come to their

fees helping it. And there they are. I could almost reach out and get their guarded closely. The her fees touches them, his fingers caressing the ancient parchment, a slight smile on his lips. Now it is take the cup, work, drink, see the words. I take this cup on, I take this cap and drink. Mhmm. Now you can withdraw in what there is life. In life, there is knowledge and hope. Drink, refresh your souls and rejoice in the medical existing holderness. What is it I think I think I've been. What's

wrong with him is a sickly fellow. I don't think. Let us retire to my tent. Our time is should but the huffies shouldn't be helping. God will take care of the huffies. Take my hand, show me the way. Yes, whatever her THESI has been taken ill. God, you want to take his hood and us back to the palace. And it's raining, he told me. It never rains in Tumanda. I think we should move on swiftly, Mistress. We don't

want the people to drift away. Yes, let's get on with the executions, of course, But perhaps whilst we wait for the prisoners to be brought forth, you should speak to the people, mistress. Yes, yes, it's time to tell them how much you love for them. Announcer. Now now, now, the mother of the Empire of Human Bays stand here, mistress. They will see you better speak to your people, people

of Human Bay. My heart was broken when my adopted daughter, the Sultana Manel, was no longer able to continue her duties. I've often dreamed of this moment. So what happens next? I don't know. I've always woken up just as the blind man puts the noose around her neck. Is that all you can say? They're bringing the prisoners out. Ready, careful, they'll see. They're bringing them all out, just the man. Surely the women are meant to be later. But I can see her. I can see Materna. They're leading her

to the gallows. Perhaps they changed the plan because of the rain. They're doing it. Quickly, get the straw. Start the fire started, now, I will. Can you see any fires in the sky? No, Occasionally the clouds appeared to glow. You're disappointed, for the brothers expected more for me. How it happens makes no difference. I cannot see, but shortly I will have sight. Grandmaster, you requested that the scrolls, and then I will keep them here beside me as

the end of time approaches. Is everything prepared? Yes, Grandmaster, then bring me the cup. Brother thank you. It has been an honor to serve you, Grandmaster. We all serve only one must. Now go take the brothers up onto the walls and wait. You may be needed yet, if is the rain come to cause any problems the door, the wheel is turning. The elixir is potent, the will the elixir I I don't understand. Brothers, Be resolute in your actions, be certain in your purpose. Do not doubt

that we will be reunited shortly in the light. Go, brothers, Go distribute water, Make sure that all drink. If they won't, persuade them, offer them the chance of salvation. Yes, Miss Master Robert, read to me, Read from the scrolls, and you will understand. And at the end of times, the wheel of life will turn, and those who have drunk from the fountain drink from the cup. Don't question, just drink and you will be saved. The Aqueduct, the Alixiry,

the promise of salvation. Those who drink will be saved. Those who do not will burn in the fires. Yes, the end is coming, Heaven, my dear child. The fires will destroy all, but those who can show their faith by drinking from the fountain will be saved. So take the cup. I will drink. After you come, we will drink together. No, my my duties to make sure your worldly body is treated with respect before I come. A body means nothing. It's ash. Now drink, Heaven. I need

to know you will be saved. It's all right if you don't wish to bring me the scrolls, put them back in the box of me. Drink. I cannot leave you behind. If you burn in the fires, you will burn for ever. But if you drink now and come with me, you will be free in the spirit. Those who burn will burn for eternity. You'll need to trust me, Heaven. I do you know what the good? Then allow me to put the cup to your lips. Yes, yes, I

understand doubt. I understand weakness. You know in my weakness I have longed to see you, And when we are saved, I will see you, and in the next life. You will be as my daughter that heaven. Listen for yours, your world, listener for mine. Yeah we're not. I's not. Come on, it's too damp, light, dumb you light. It's no good. We need a distraction. We have to help. Your hands are bleeding. Okay, Yeah, something's happening. This has to work. It has to Frog. Stop. People are dying.

I know no, they're falling down. The guds are just standing there staring out at the crowd. What are you doing? What's going on? What? The people are just dropping like flies? Frog? Frog? Follow me? Where are you going? You can't bring them out? Great Mantilla, take my hand, Come on, it's me God, get not enough dum Petilla's happen, Frog, they can't. I've got to get her out of it. We need to go. Why stop that coming? You have sorts, I have this

and have a complete lunithic go from go forever. We'll lose ourselves in the crowd. The rains have stopped, clouds are lifting. Did you see that, mistress? It's another one. The whole universe is celebrating your glory. Just Fatima, keep your head out. That's right, there's something happening. In the square below, people lying on the ground as if to better see the sky. Something's wrong, Commander, still here. I suppose you'll be leaving in the morning with your new friends.

My do hope you enjoy the monastic life. What's happening here here? Look down there? The people are celebrating a new dawn, the rebirth of Tuman back. Oh, dear Gregor, can't you see you picked the wrong side? The Ballarak are leaving with their tails between their legs, and Fatima, well, she is going to My mistress needs me. You have the scrolls here? What's going on down? They've poisoned the aqueduct. Come with me, how I think I know the source. We have to stop it. Don't drink the water about

This is the night we've been waiting for. Woman day is going Don't drink all of you you would die? Please? Can we have to hurry. Once we get up into the aqueduct, there's a bump house. It contains a huge wheel. That's where the poison is. H h are you Gregor, master of the palace guard? The Grand Master has sent me. Oh have you drunk from the water's yet? Brother? Not yet? Then? Let me offer you this cup. You must be thirsty. Drink you two sister. Please we need to pass. No

one is allowed up here. I have orders, I have new orders, urgent ones. Let me see. Yeah, I'm sorry, my friend, it's over. At least you don't have to wait like your brother's come. Why are this girls so important? I don't know. The two halves need to come together. I have to take them somewhere where. I have to wait for a sign just along there. I saw it before the Grandmaster was expecting to work, so I didn't know what it was. Bella regards all dead. I must

have drunk poison. You need to find of controls to stop m hm No, it's embedded in the machine itself, the card spear. Yeah yeah, what is no good? You need? Iye and stay back. This is poison. I know that I've got it all over you. What are you doing here, dumpy? I've lost my friends. We're trying to get to the garden. This is the only safe way to get there around the walls. Can I help you for Mallet give it to me. Are you all right? Brother? Don't touch me.

The poison might enter through the skin. Come sit here. M h m hmm. Maybe it doesn't matter anyway. What do you mean? Fires from destroy everything? That's what the bell I reck when? Yeah? And do you think so? Maybe? I don't know. I don't believe that. If there is a god or gods, why would they want to destroy us? Why would they allow all this to happen? Mhm. The clouds are clearing out of the moons, shining down. And it's the palace. Oh, it's the grounds just beyond the palace,

of course, the old Imperial Menagerie. Look, the birds are flying circles above it. Fires the disorientated or is it the sign that I've been waiting for? Stay here? What are you doing? Give me the scrolls. Don't go down there. It's it's not safe. Don't worry, and may be dead already. Please, Now I know the managerie. It was always the Menagerie, where it began and where it will end. And on the glorious night of the fires, a little do the

last stars shone, bright eyes up, wonderful, wonderful. And the people demanded that Mistress Fatima accept the type. Don't look away, look at me of Empress, not Sultana, but Empress of Truman. Bag where are you moving? It's coming into low. We're not going out ahead that they're not beforening of the city. Perhaps mistress and I maybe said both. Perhaps we should come down from the walls and retire to the safety of the palace. Yes, where are you going, mistress? The

great work? H my my mom my painting in branch. Someone helped me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no hopeful look or the city it's burning. Do you want to go back? If I did what you coming, I would I would accompany you wherever you went, even to death, even to death without question. I know you have a duty. Come. No, no, there's nothing there for me anymore. Everything that means anything to me. It's right here beside me. We go east towards the sun rise,

towards the sun Hyeah? Where is everyone? Summon, my slaves? Are you go? Tell the steward the regent require Mr Fantom and this way we need We need to get back out. The palace is under attack. I need my army. Mrs You have no army. You never paid them. They went away, all of them a carriage. Then we have to get out of the city to my palace in the provinces. Now come, are you right? I need to stop for a moment. There's a quiet street along here. I know it will be safe. I lived here once

when I was young. Sit there, rest for a moment. What was happening back there? People were falling all around us. I don't know. You shouldn't have come from What do you mean you're here? Were I rescued you from the blind man? You think because you're rescuing me from the gallows. I am released from your dreams. As long as you are here and we are together, there's hope. Oh Ma thress so dry. They wouldn't give us food or water. Today there's a fountain on the corner. Water is flowing

throughout the city. A gift from the Ballaraq, Yeah, drink, A gift from the ballaraches, A gift from the blind man. Everyone has deserted me. This is what we want to like loyalty these days the Eastern Gates. As fast as you can it will be well rewarded. I'm not sure that's wise. There's trust. The Eastern Gates likely to be wounded, with people watching the fires from its high walls. Might I suggest them let's go hard, driver, don't roll The head is blood because he could see h m hm.

The Ballarak soldiers. They're forcing people to drink. Those that refuse they are slaughtering. Driver, driver, turn around, ray gone, deserted us. I think, mistress, we may be better off going on foot. No one will notice us in the panic. So put your shawl over your like like soup. Yes, yes, yes, take my hand. Where are we going? I know a way through the back streets. We need to be quick less the poltic time h when you get out of the way, excuse me leaving now? We don't have time.

What's I know? You? Your mistress, Fatima, mother of the Empire. I'm I'm sorry. You're mistaken. It's Fatima. She's here. Leave me alone, Leave me alone. Go Ali, good, Ali. Put a noose around her neck. You are mistaken defending my son, so you could leave your palis and the bothers. Killer killer, killer killer stand stand hello, task which of you dares to touch me? Your empress? Come on, then, come on? Who will be the first to die? Killer? Hello? I

have what you asked for. I've brought the scrolls. What do I do? How can yeah? If you can hear me? Hello, Gregor? You have them? I do I never doubted you. So what happens now? Give them to me? What will you do with them? Give them to me. They used to be all sorts of creatures. Here Sultan al Guri collected them from the furthest lands. Yes, I told you before. The world is like this menagerie, and it is in danger.

But the scrolls, they are the promise. Promise for what the promise at the inception of the world, a contract between this world and the outside, that once the seeds are planted, the world will be left alone, and those who live on it will be allowed to det herm in their own future. The scrolls guarantee. That's right. You need to give me the scroll so that the fires stop. They will not stop until the scrolls are returned to me. You are so close, Gregor, We need to be quick.

Look the fish, what in the pond floating? They've been poisoned too. These waters are fed by the aqueduct. See I see my reflection. The curious slave boy who arrived in two munday full of hope and ambition has become a lost and empty face gazing back at me through the surface of the water. I wonder what is on the other side, the other side another world. Nothing, there is nothing there. Come away. We need to act fast.

And then, for a fleeting instant, I see her reflect action in the surface, and all at once everything comes into focus. When suddenly I understand the Queen. You might have seen a new dreams. Perhaps this has all been an illusion that she will wake inside your head. This is a kingdom that will be destroyed from within. One of them is inside you too. The scrolls were never about the past, they were about the future. Sarah. What I saw her reflection in the water. I heard her voice.

I don't know what you are talking. Will wake up inside your head, maya you. We need to stop the fires. The fires, yes, the battle, I believe they herald the end of the world. But do they yes? Or is it merely a celestial occurrence. It has happened before, astrologers predicted their coming the battle. I believe the world is ending. But the end is coming, Gregor. Only the scrolls can save it. The important thing is that the scrolls are whole again. You have brought them together, Gregor, and you

will be rewarded. Rewarded how with too, mum Bey the city is yours to rule. You mean I will do your bidding. You have proved yourself, Gregor, master of the Palace Guard, Gregor, Sultan of all he sees. No, you came here as a slave. You have a chance to be your slave. I was born free and I will die a free man. Just give me the scrolls, Greggor, and you can have all you desire. I can see inside your heart. Greggor, you are full of doubt, uncertainty. The world. It is not as you think it is.

You need to have faith. You need to trust, Sarah, Gregor, I love you. If you love me, take my hand. I don't believe you. Where's Alkin? Where did you go? Elkin died, she was hanged. Remember you cremated her, sent her body out to sea. You saw it. Give me what Maya desires. You're in my head. If I die, you die, Maya dies, and two Monday will be saved from one from us. Brother. Remember when we first came to Two Monday's boys, we thought we could conquer the city.

We still can. You and I we can escape together, Gregor, you and I forever. Just give me the scrolls. No, No, you don't exist. You're in my head. Of course, I am. We are one. I am you. You are me. I've always been with you, brother, Give me the scrolls. I am your brother. No cool, and you are dead. No, I'm alive. Give me the scrolls and we can rule together as we always want. We are running out of time, Grickols. Your world is about to anything. The fires will stop

as they did before. The city can survive them, but it cannot survive you. You are making a complete elephants ass of yourself. Little brother, I wonder if it's healthy being seen in your company anymore? What are you going to do? Run into the fire. You've always going to survive, a grandmoire. You're not going to do that. Throughout your life. You killed to survive. You have survived at any cost. Not this time, brother, What are you doing? Peace? No
