[00:00:12]It pressed against the skin. It pressed against the eyes. It pressed. He stopped 20 feet away and looked up at it.

[00:00:19]>> Kaelarath.

[00:00:21]>> You should not know my name.

[00:00:25]Only Solethos knows my name.

[00:00:33]>> And whoever made Solethos?

[00:00:35]>> The plaza was silent, and the light dimmed by a fraction and then returned as if the sky were breathing.

[00:00:41]>> Solethos was not made.

[00:00:44]Solethos [music] is eternal. Solethos is the first light.

[00:00:52]>> With the patient tone [music] of someone correcting a very old mistake for the first time.

[00:00:57]>> Solethos [music] is the first named light.

[00:01:00]That's not the same thing.

[00:01:02]>> You will come with me to Solethos.

[00:01:06]You will answer [music] for your existence.

[00:01:09]This is not a request.

[00:01:12]>> The temperature in the plaza rose by several degrees. The nearest buildings were beginning to smoke at the edges.

[00:01:18]Kaelarath looked at the sphere of solar fire, and behind them he was aware >> [music] >> was the lower ward district, where 43 displaced people from Ashvin were currently having what should have been a quiet morning. He looked back at [music] Kaelarath and something shifted. It was not visible, exactly. It was more like the air around him changed its mind about something.
