Sure, you've got good eyes, lets you spot water and fruit, but you've got weak limbs. You can barely do anything without wobbling like a baby.

If it wasn't for our strong arms smashing those rocks to open up the mountain pass, nobody would be able to get here!

And what about us?

It was us who crossed the streams, us who led the way for you, and us who guard the lake day in and day out. We're the ones who make sure parasites don't dirty the water, so we're the ones who should own the heart-lake!

Why must you fight among yourselves again...?

There is enough water here for all to drink, and enough forest for all to build homes.

My word... These fruits and crops... How are they growing out of nothing?

Is this one of your miracles? We should make you our leader.

From now on, we wish to hear your will, to follow your teachings.

It was all of you together who awakened me.

I have seen all the hardships you endured as you came here from every corner of the land... Your instincts tell you to slay one another, and your instincts tell you to aid one another.

But what can be achieved through strife can also be achieved through sharing and communication. It is already so difficult to survive upon this land. Must you add harming each other to the mix?

From here on, you need not regard each other as enemies. Enjoy what this land has to offer as equals.

It was the beginning of it all.

She appeared amidst the people, worked Her miracles, resolved their disputes.

The three clans began to live together. From then on, this land had a name.

Your Majesty... This book recording the history of Kjerag is complete. Pray, look over it the once.

We do not dare forget a single line of Your teachings. We shall abide by Your every commandment.

No... No need.

You must remember my words, and the road you have followed here, but most importantly, remember the first kindness you felt in your hearts.

You must reflect upon yourselves, see clear your own hearts, and make them clean. So long as you hold goodness within your hearts, you shall not walk down false paths.

I have nothing more to teach you. The road ahead is yours alone to walk.

I believe... It is time for me to rest.

Her Majesty has left...

She told us to live as we have, but if there is nobody to command the Three Great Clans, how can we have faith in others?

No... We must hurry back to our lands and warn our people. We must beware invasion from the other clans!

Kjeragandr left, and as She did, She returned authority to Her people.

The wheel of history turned back to the beginning, and it seemed that the peaceful days of the past were but a fleeting dream...

Humanity returned to where it started.

What? I...?

Indeed. You are the next Saintess. Please prepare your luggage.

My family still needs me. It's sowing season, after all. They won't be able to till the soil without me, and if that happens, they'll starve come winter.

What about the lady from before? Where did she go after she came back from the mountains? Didn't you say that only she needed to climb?

We need an answer, and need someone to bring that answer back to us. She was unable to fulfill her duty, and so the task falls to another.

It is a great duty. The weight of the lives of all Kjerag rests upon your shoulders. Please come with me, Saintess.

Rubbish! Complete nonsense! I can't believe you would lie to a little girl like that!

Don't listen to him! Go tell your family that you shouldn't throw your life away like that!

O watcher above the clouds, god of Kjerag, Kjeragandr...

I ask... Hah... I ask that You, return to us...

I beseech you... Respond to my voice...

...Cold... Mama... So cold...

What must we do, Kjeragandr... Mmf...

Seriously... I keep shivering so much... If the bells bother Kjeragandr, if She gets mad... What do I do...?

No matter... No matter the wrongs we have done, I beg You, do not abandon us...

O Great Kjeragandr...

Enough... Enough.

Don't come any further! You'll die!

Why... Why all this for a lie...?

Kjeragandr... has never—

So you saw.

You're...

Kjarr...?

Did you really only just figure it out?

Enya... You're more muddle-headed than I thought at times.
