Amber sees that the three griffins are left alone in the room, and for the moment, they are silent. It's rather nice room, with hardwood paneling, a fireplace that is currently the main source of warmth for the room, and a wall that has a painted portrait of a griffin in fine dress holding a violin, and a mounted, taxidermy goat head on another wall. A shelf of books is at least half empty.

Oh so very many more than one life has been uprooted, overturned, or extinguished by the caprice of politics in the past two generations. No matter. There is something deeper and higher in music. A connection to something at once more advanced and more basic, more complex and more fundamental. In the moment the music is played, it is like the soul speaks into the bow, and expresses itself.

Not until Amber has left the building does she have even the slightest idea of what she was in. Even now, looking back at it, she cannot see the whole of it, but only a small part. The building is utterly massive, and Amber finds her self at a portion that must be a set of rectangular wings of the larger building. It appears as three, sometimes four story buildings with rectangular windows, a white facade with lght green stripes that run between the windows up to the high, red tiled roof. Most of what is visible is crew quarters, some is a work shop, and some chimneyed section is the porcelain factory. In front of her is an open area of grass, trimmed hedges, carefully pruned trees, and smaller two story houses with green tile roofs beyond a ring of hedges that extends far beyond the wing of the building.

Wherever she ends up, it won't be nearly as grand as this. It may well be her last look at such a building, a testament to the former glory of the Katerin dynasty. She follows the others, feeling conspicuous in the wide garden.

Moving further out into the lawn, looking back Amber can see that the south wing was a rectangular construction, and recessed a hundred meters further back is the center of the Palace. There are larger squares five or more floors in height, with pointed pyramid-like red tiled roofs that stand up above the rest - one especially tall one right in the center, and two to each side. The construction of the south wing is mirrored on the other side, with the whole front side more than a third of a mile in span, and not visible from her vantage. In front of the center is a large pond, or pool, placed in front, and the few clouds in the sky, as well as the top of the roof of the north wing can be seen in its reflection.

This is not the castle from which the mad princess spent her final years. That distinction belongs to a special construction right out of a fairy tale, located on a hill that sits above the swamps some miles away. This is not the location where the final sane heirs of the Grimclaw - The Katerin - Dynasty were lynched by a mob of peasants. That belongs to an undistinguished town square a few miles into town. But this last relic of the Katerin dynasty, built 250 years ago as the summer home of the Grimclaws, then given the title of "Von Katerin" by the Emperor, lies as a perfectly embalmed corpse of yesteryear, even as the whole principality rots away around it, and even as the minds of the dynasty's last still living ignoble heirs decay and deteriorate.

The timeline is as follows: Dark Star first encounters the diamond dog as an outgoing and friendly hostess for the restaurant. She greats the male diamond dog after he enters, and has an extended conversation with him. There is a sound of gunfire from within the building. The male diamond dog, and then the female go upstairs towards the sound of gunfire, taking an extended amount of time as the male diamond dog was wounded. As a second gunshot rings out, the female gives the male a pistol, and he walks towards the shooting. Dark Star pretends to be an ally, and walks right past her. Then Dark Star shoots the male right in the back. Silver finishes him off with a shotgun burst. The female doesn't see much, but she does see that the male falls. Dark Star yells "it's that one with the shotgun who did it," and the female runs to the male, collapsing and crying at his side. She remains there a while until she stands up, in a fit of rage, and runs towards Silver (a shotgun wielder) with a flip out knife. Dark Star provokes a shot from the zebra, which shoots right through the wall, and hits the leg of the female, causing her to stumble and fall, and stab the ground. Then Dark Star levels his rifle, aims at her head, shoots, and her brains are scattered across the floor as she lies on her belly.

It's a fairly limited amount of interaction. Her only words to him were the question ""would you like to go to the bar, or be seated?" and "Okay, have fun," until later saying "You miserable bastard!" to Silver

Dark Star told her "I'm here to meet a friend," he wished her to "have a nice night," and then later "let's go get this bastard" and "That Bastard with the Shotgun! He Got Him!"

And that is all, really. He did not see her face as she died. She faced the ground.

Blue Skies looks at him. It's clear that she does not understand what is going on with Dark Star.

"I Don't.... She probably had a family. She.......I..I wish she wouldn't had drawn the knife.. Why Didn't she just stay at her friends side. I Don't know why i feel this way about her in particular. Maybe because she was a woman? Maybe because i lied to her and then took her life. does this make me a murder? Did i have to pull that trigger? Would she have Murdered Silver if i didn't? Did i Do the right thing?"
