Summary
The nearest pub to Memoriam College is called The Blue Boar and, on the night of the Valentine Affair, the publican leaned out of the door and wondered if she smelled smoke. She ducked back inside and picked up a broom, swept the floor absentmindedly. Customers would be arriving soon, she could ask them if anything was burning. Inside The Gardeners, just down the road, two regulars were engaged in an argument about whether or not a rank of pala-din marching past the window were headed for Memoriam, nonsense, no, it's a legitimate patrol. It is! By the end of the night, you could smell the soot from The Lamplighter's Rest, a mediocre coaching inn on the far side of town. In cramped rooms on the third floor, people pressed up against windows to see the red glow on the horizon. The distant sound of gunfire.

| 0:00.0 | I gave them a gift, a little mansion in the woods, in that particular place, out in the vast |
| 0:09.0 | between Samothies, a city of light, and those rolling plains of celebration where the boy King Samop made his |
| 0:15.1 | wandering home. A grand house close to me. I'd hoped it could be a place where they could |
| 0:22.2 | work out their differences, where they could |
| 0:24.4 | consider the burden of their power and the strength of their bond. |
| 0:29.8 | But if I can be truthful, I had a more selfish motive too. |
| 0:34.7 | I wanted to leave them a momento, something to remind them of me when I had gone, and |
| 0:40.4 | somewhere close enough that I could look back at them from time to time |
| 0:44.4 | while I was leaving. Your old friend here well. I was never much of a jealous |
| 0:50.2 | god but call me sentimental and I will not correct you. |
| 0:54.0 | And looking back now, all these damn years of life later, |
| 0:59.0 | I suppose it's fair to say it all started there, |
| 1:02.0 | all because I gave them that gift, that |
| 1:06.4 | mansion in those woods, those woods too close to where I lay dying. Oh, Oh, The Oh, Oh, The remaining students, the teachers, everyone starts yelling and like running out. |
| 2:39.0 | And the thing that's that's confusing is that as soon as they come out like they do hear |
| 2:47.7 | shouting and yelling outside so it like corroborates your lie that there's fire. |
| 2:53.2 | And then the second bit of this is of course there is fire. |
| 2:58.1 | Because now the fighting on the ground floor has smashed into the memorial college and |
| 3:09.3 | There is fighting in the hallway on the first floor, and you can feel the ground warm as fire spreads through |
