The city's outskirts are a terrifying ruin, interwoven with the nightmare of the plague. The Shrike's call grows more insistent; is she in trouble? I should hurry. All signs point towards the lighthouse - I have a feeling she awaits me within it.
The lighthouse is in flames, undoubtedly blown up by Napoleon's troops. I must hurry before the French manage to seize the Shrike.
The city is almost completely deserted, with only the Mice remaining. They are orphans who serve the Shrike; they hide in nest-like burrows and whisper to me whenever they get the chance. They seem friendly, but one can never be too careful.
I didn't make it in time... The lighthouse has collapsed. Since that moment, the Shrike has stopped speaking to me. Has she perished? I must reach the ruins of the lighthouse and see for myself.
