Jeff R.: The Prince

"Everything ends," shouted the priest through his bushy grey beard. Irem pulled Lancel away from the man's sight, and dragged him down the Street of Lanterns.

"Who was," said Lancel, dazed and trailing off.

"Oh, just another mad priest," replied the near-giant. "A Finalist. Think's there's a reason all the other cities fell to the Shadow. Thinks the Ark's immoral, and that humanity doesn't deserve any more second chances."

"Were I King such men would be called the traitors they are, and hanged."

Irem laughed. "Well good for him your father's still hale, then."

"Everything ends," whispered Lancel. "Even kings."
