When I linked to this Age, I knew the search would be difficult.
There was no guarantee that I'd find my way home. But what
choice did I have? My wife is in danger! If I ever hope to see her
again, I have to follow all his instructions.
I fear I am running out of time.
I know he has a reason for everything. I have only to look, to
examine all I see, and I'll discover how things work.
I just can't figure out what he intends! The devices he built
in this Age, the tracks that begin and end without purpose...
What does he want me to learn?!!
I don't know. I don't know! And I'm afraid of what my
ignorance is costing me.
Don't know how much longer I can take this
The vast expanse of this Age, the utter silence,
cut only by the wind...
Yesterday I was certain I heard him speaking to me.
I thought maybe he'd come back. That he'd taken pity on me
and would show me the way home. I thought I would see my
beloved wife again.
When I reached the chasm gantries, I knew. I should not have
been able to distinguish his words. The waterfall should
have drowned out his voice.
And yet, I could still hear it.
The voice I had been listening to was my own.
I am going to die here
If I can't find a way out of this
Age, surely I am going to die
Have to keep searching. Have to find out where it is.
The last piece I need
The animals elude all my traps
The vines keep hindering my progress.
I chop them back to the branches, only to regret it later.
So hard to know what I must do
So hard, and I can hear him laughing.
Don't know how much longer I can take this.
Twenty years, old friend.
Twenty years I've been waiting for this moment.
You thought your past was buried. Thought you could
move on, make a new home for yourself. You thought
you could continue writing worlds. Leaving your
mistakes to die in the dust.
You can't old friend. You can't. I've been waiting all
these years. Planning, and scheming, just waiting
for this day. I knew it would eventually arrive.
Do you realize that I've visited your home?
Do you know what I've been setting into place?
Soon, my friend. You'll see.
You will learn what your mistakes have finally wrought.
