“I closed my eyes, seeking a moment of peace but finding none. Behind my eyelids, an entirely new nightmare was waiting. This wasn’t another haunting memory. This was a new form of torture.”

“In the dark, dank world of the Tunnels, I would call upon this memory. And there would be a flicker of candlelight. If only for a moment.

As long as I held them, memories were mine and mine alone.”

“Look into my eyes...' the Prince said. I have been calling you. The peace you seek you will find if you follow Me.”
