       | Another: "The clock struck twelve when a boom echoed throughout
       | the olden province. The ragged clocktower rattled and creaked but
       | continued to stand. Its aged wooden hands blustered with embers
       | and bent into a hexed configuration, as if to say that doomsday
       | had just arrived. Their country's war had just ended but their
       | own war was just beginning. They had no idea." - Stefan
