At the beginning of 'Tales in the dark' that candle was supposed to be broken and without any flame or fuel to ignite it. This was a symbol to show how poor it is. 'Am i not at the beginning?. This candle was lit only at the start of the city's construction and at the at the end of the novel' last volume.
Silch remember the fan made clip of the final scene of the candle's flame being lit. He even remember the original dialogue the main character 'Ayris' says at the end of the original novel. "Let the flame burn as bight as the future"
"So why is it burning now?. Did i enter in a time after the main story" SIlch wonders as we walks to the gate and stands upfront of it.
He knocks on the large gate wondering who will open it. He wishes to see 2 tall armored guards with spears in hand open the gate slowly and ask him who he was and where he came from. He had no idea of what changes were made after the candle was rebuild as that was most likely the last scene in the novel. If there were guards like for other cities near the border he needed to answer then so he had prepared an answer to both of those questions on the pathway.
CreakAs the the gate slowly opened, Silch why the giant gate made the creaking sound as the large gate has shown him no signs of any damage. 'It came from behind.'Just as gate was about to open it stopped midway which allows Silch to take a peak of what is happening inside.He bend over, taking a look at the city. The city was very lively and completely different form what he imagined it to be. It was filled with small, medium and large sized houses which reminded him of a tavern for some odd reason. The houses were seemed to be made with stone but also resembled bricks. 'How for past the original time line did i enter and why?. There shouldn't be a story about this.' Just as he was pondering about this, one of the rectangular part of the wall next to the gate suddenly was lifter up as a large pale hand with very little hair can be seen under it, Likely the hand that pushed it up.Just then did he realize that the rectangular part of that wall was actually made of wood.The hand then gestured his to come. 'Who is that' Silch wondered as he followed what the hand gestured and walked towards the opening and bent down and walked through.ThudThe pseudo-gate fall likely dude the person holding it released their grip on it. Silch looked towards his left only to see a sharp, shiny knife held perpendicularly to his neck. He could see the person who held the 'door' for him. It was a brawny man with a shaved and shiny head he had no facial hair and was not that good looking. He was wearing common clothes such a blue shirt and a brown pant but a more old fashioned type of version of both.He asked with a serious face, looking at Silch. "Why were you in the prohibited zone and why did you wish to enter through the first gate of the City of Dawn"Silch was not scared at all for some reason that even he couldn't under stand 'City of Dawn?' he remembered another scene from the same fan made clips channel on internet when the main character proposed the idea of changing the name of the city. But all the member of the city refused to show their sincerity to the towns history and culture. Even though they were mocked by all the other towns, major cities and even minor villages for the name 'Calamity'. he still had no idea why it was named that, or even if that was the cities' original name. His extremely slightly confused face turned to a smile.'I am definitely in 'Tales in the dark' but not the version i know.'
