He is not an evil man, but he is a ruthless one. If Alendi does return from the Well of Ascension, I am certain that my death will be one of his first objectives. Afraid for myself, yes-I admit to being human. I write this record now, pounding it into a metal slab, because I am afraid. I am the one who started this all.Īnd I am the one who betrayed him, for I now know that he must never be allowed to complete his quest. I am the one who discovered Alendi, and I am the one who first proclaimed him to be the Hero of Ages. Perhaps I am mad, or jealous, or simply daft. They are deaf to my objections and blind to my discoveries. They cannot connect the other strange things that are happening. Can the others not see? They have been waiting so long for their hero to come- the one spoken of in Terris prophecies- that they quickly jump between conclusions, presuming that each story and legend applies to this one man. I have begun to wonder if I am the only sane man remaining. I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted. This books epigraphs contain the inscription left in the Conventical of Seran by Kwaan, describing Ati's part in the Ascension of the Lord Ruler.
