[The pages crackle, and you can see fine lines forming where it threatens to break apart, but it seems to be holding for the moment . . .

The text inside is written by hand in some foreign, scratchy looking tongue. And yet . . . as Chrono stares at it his patron's mark grows warm, and the words seem to come together for him.

"don't believe any longer. How can they lose faith at a time like this? A time when the Gods need us most of all? I know He will smile on us once more, just as they all will. We need only to weather this time of despair, and then we will be shown back to the lands that kiss the sky. The lands that I heard my elders speak of."]

But He descended! He came and spoke, and his voice was—. Even the most furious of those men couldn't—. Both they and I fell to our knees before him, and He promised that we would see an end to this in time, but—against the Gods would only delay—escape.

I knew. I knew there must be a reason! It is because—that we are still here!"]
