Not so easy is it, Atrus? Running like a rat through a maze looking for some sign that'll help you save your world. Is it over here; is it over there; is it some place I can't find? Sirrus and Achenar didn't care about saving Narayan. All that talk about fixing instabilities, rewriting the Age so that we would be free to live our lives. That was just talk to hide the truth of why they had come. But we believed their lies, Atrus, so we abandoned our traditions, forgetting that those traditions were keeping Narayan alive. And when the last tree started to die, I followed them here to tell them what they had done, and they laughed. They said they would never fix Narayan. They said they had already taken everything it had worth saving. So, my dear old friend, Atrus, I brought you to this place where your education begins. Find the remaining two symbols, and then come see what your boys did to Narayan.

This what you expected, Atrus, when you followed me here, hoping to reclaim Releeshahn? This class room what you expected to find? I read your journal, you know. In Tomahna, after I found your linking book abandoned outside this observatory. I read all about the D'ni. How you started their world again. Can you really do that, Atrus? After everything that's happened to Narayan, could you start their world over again? I don't think so. I think there is too much blood on our hands, too many ghosts. Surely you can't change that with a pen stroke. One more symbol, Atrus. Narayan is waiting

You've done well, my sons, but there's still one task ahead of you. The linking book you see here connects to an Age called Narayan. It's a very delicate Age. Civilization has emerged in response to the world's imbalances. It's also the first inhabited Age I'm sending you to alone, but don't be afraid. The knowledge you've acquired here will show you the way in. Use it, and see all that Narayan has to offer.
