When I first came to Carthak, I was dazzled. The animals, the buildings, the people; all so much brighter than anything back home. And none more-so than the young Emperor himself; I was overwhelmingly honoured by the attention he deigned to show me.
Over our six years at the University Ozorne continued to accept my company. I heard the whispers, but paid them no mind. I knew that he could be vain, arrogant and impatient but he was my friend, so I did not know him.
Then he was not my friend, and I came to know him too well.
