Hello. You've lost much, I know, but still you press on. That is what it means to live. Always forward. Against any adversity you go forward, forward, forward. It's the way it has always been, <playername>. Even since Creation, life and Light have spread... Forward. Forward. Forward. And what drives this, do you think? You stand now on burnt world amidst contless dead and you go forward, forward, forward. Why? What for? Hope, <playername>. You hope. You all hope. You always have hope. I know because it is what I am. You see, I am not he last Truth. I am the first. I am the one you never lost. None of you. Even on worlds long dead, men always held fast to my promis. I thrived within them, praying they'd meet the other Truths - I hoped for those who only had hope left... Ironic. Tragic. And now we're here. All is se. All is ready. You hope and so I shall figt you hope. you live and so I shall gift you life. you move forward and so I shall lay your road. You are Light. You are the sword and shield of Creation. The Sigil rises. It creates the Battleplain. It carves into the Earth a place where you can defeat the Demon so long as you keep Truth close. The Herald has been chosen. She will lead you. She knows. We have shown her. Go now and hope for a better tomorrow, <playername>. Hope so fiercely you will it to be. Woe to the Dark, for I am the Child, with whom hope never dies.

Sorrow fills you. You are not alone. Sorrow fills everything, <playername>. Even now it rushes across the universe and beats against my heart, carried on the backs of those souls that flow in the great River. That's what this is for. All of this... The Sigil. Truth. us. Everything in Light exists to bring an end to sorrow - to strike a balance and halt the Demon. You have glimpsed the Eldest, Sydonai, and know now what assails us. I will meet him soon, <playername>. I will meet him and face my own test. Then I will make him pay for this world. This one, at least, he will pay dearly for. But am I truly ready? I don't know. I've only just awakened. I always thought my burden a curse. But it was a blessing. I see that now, far too late for those who screamed for salvation over the past 20 years of Burn. The Child has shown me, <playername>. They've all shown me Truth. My eyes are open and I see the Creator's realm under siege - I see the Sigil we shall use to launch our counterattack and restore order. It was always on us to do this, <playername>.We are the shield of Light. We are Truth. We are the opposite of the Demon, angels for whose who come after to pray to. Rest now. Grieve now. Soon you will have your chance. Soon you will have your justice. Soon we will war.I am The Herald. This I say.
