You could hear the screams and cries of all the commanders and soldiers that had turned to stone to the enemy of the capital, the basilisk, Allaric. Although you were frightened by the idea of dying, it was something you'd expect to happen, really. After all, you were blind and a slave, you either died to the capital or the enemy.

However, even after all the sounds had died down, you were still alive. It was strange. Too strange. Were you being spared by such a beast...? Unbelievable.
