[1.0.1.1.1] [1.P_HEX] To predict the future is to modify it. But can man really be the master of his own destiny? I used to think so. I remember the fateful night when everything seemed possible… [1.0.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] During those long years I spent in my laboratory, I tried to penetrate life's great secrets. There is a familiar force in us which is difficult to define. A force that guides our mortal existence, and we call it... Time. [1.0.1.1.1] [3.P_HEX] The clock was ready. The minute hand, made from the purest crystal quartz, vibrated to the rhythm of Creation. It required many long months without rest for me to design the plans of my machine. In its glass cage, the Chronoeider beat with restrained energy. It would provide the force which would propel me into the most fantastic of voyages. The Chronoeider was the motor of the machine that was about to turn my life upside down… [1.0.1.1.1] [4.P_HEX] Was the name Herbert George Wells going to go down in history? That wasn't important to me. The past didn't interest me, the future seemed much more fascinating… [1.0.1.1.1] [5.P_HEX] I was getting ready to leave when a strange shell appeared in my laboratory. It bore the inscription : “The nautilus guides the voyager through time.” Without really thinking about it, I decided to take it with me... and that sealed my fate. [1.1.1.1.1] [1.P_HEX] “The nautilus guides the voyager through time…” I'm afraid I do need a guide to explore this time and place. [1.1.1.2.1] [1.P_HEX] It's impossible to get through! [1.1.1.3.1] [1.P_HEX] It's closed. [1.1.1.3.2] [1.P_HEX] I can't open it! [1.1.1.4.1] [1.P_HEX] The machine has disappeared... and I'm stuck more than eight hundred thousand years from my era! [1.1.2.1.1] [1.P_EFF] If you have something to trade, I'm your man! [1.1.2.1.2] [1.P_HEX] Thank God, he speaks my language! [1.1.2.2.2] [1.P_HEX] Hello. My name is Wells, and I come from England. I seem to be lost. Can you help me? [1.1.2.2.2] [2.P_EFF] If you have a name, you are one of the Chosen... You must know a lot more than I do. You can find your way alone. [1.1.2.2.2] [3.P_HEX] I'm afraid that's impossible without my machine... I'm stuck here! [1.1.2.2.3] [1.P_HEX] Tell me, do you know what year it is? [1.1.2.2.3] [2.P_EFF] What is a “year”? [1.1.2.2.3] [3.P_HEX] Well, I'll be... ! That's a practical way to find where you are in Time! [1.1.2.2.3] [4.P_EFF] Oh, it's like an hourglass! If this is the kind of thing you want to know, you'd better go and see the priests of the Sand God. [1.1.2.2.4] [1.P_HEX] Do you know the name of this city? [1.1.2.2.4] [2.P_EFF] This is Hourglass City, you fool! Even the Outcasts know that! [1.1.2.2.5] [1.P_HEX] Young man, where are your parents? They might be able to help me. [1.1.2.2.5] [2.P_EFF] What?? I don't know what you're talking about. Go and see the priests. They'll be able to answer your bizarre questions. [1.1.2.2.7] [1.P_EFF] You really do look like an Outcast! [1.1.2.3.1] [1.P_EFF] You have a nautilus? That's a sacred object which only the Chosen are allowed to wear. I can't give you anything in exchange for that. [1.1.2.3.3] [1.P_EFF] Keep your nautilus, I don't want it. [1.1.2.4.1] [1.P_EFF] So, what do you have to trade? [1.1.2.4.2] [1.P_EFF] If you have something to exchange Adhamid, I'm interested. [1.1.3.1.1] [1.P_GARH] What have you done with that sacred object? Only the initiated can use it without risking the loss of their soul! Give it to the priests! [1.1.3.1.3] [1.P_GARH] I believe I already told you to take that to the temple! [1.1.3.2.2] [1.P_HEX] Hello. My name is Wells. I'm afraid I'm a bit lost. Can you help me? [1.1.3.2.2] [2.P_GARH] If you're lost, go see the priests - they'll refresh your memory! [1.1.3.2.3] [1.P_GARH] You'd better get to work instead of taking it easy in the shade! [1.1.3.2.5] [1.P_GARH] Don't you have better things to do than keep on talking? [1.1.3.3.1] [1.P_GARH] You're not allowed to enter the Hierarch's palace! [1.1.3.3.2] [1.P_GARH] You can beg all you want, but we won't let you in! [1.1.3.3.3] [1.P_GARI] Go away, Adhamid! [1.1.4.1.2] [1.P_GARI] I have nothing to say to you. Stop bleating like a tripodon and get back to work! [1.1.4.1.4] [1.P_GARI] The sun isn't the only thing that gets me hot under the collar! [1.1.4.2.2] [1.P_GARI] I am not interested in you or your shell! [1.1.4.2.3] [1.P_GARI] You stick worse than a honey-cactus! [1.1.5.1.2] [1.P_HEX] Hello. Lovely weather we're having, isn't it? [1.1.5.1.2] [2.P_FS3] I'm sorry , but I have to keep on working. [1.1.5.1.3] [1.P_HEX] Forgive me for persisting, and asking this stupid question, but, can you tell me what era or year it is? [1.1.5.1.3] [2.P_FS3] I don't know what a “year” is. The priests are the only ones who know how many Hourglasses have rung. [1.1.5.1.4] [1.P_HEX] I'm sorry to bother you again, but what do the inscriptions you're engraving in the stone stand for? [1.1.5.1.4] [2.P_FS3] They're only decorative designs. Everyone knows that the priests are the only ones who can decipher symbols. You must be an Outcast! [1.1.5.1.4] [3.P_HEX] I'm afraid I'm lost for good… [1.1.5.1.5] [1.P_FS3] I don't have much time. I have to finish my work on the Sand God's temple. [1.1.5.1.5] [2.P_HEX] Where is this famous temple? [1.1.5.1.5] [3.P_FS3] Beyond the Grand Arch, on the other side of the Hourglass. [1.1.5.1.6] [1.P_FS3] I have no time to talk. [1.1.5.1.7] [1.P_FS3] I'm busy! [1.1.5.2.2] [1.P_FS3] A nautilus! Quick! Take it to the priests, or the Sand God will punish you! [1.1.5.2.3] [1.P_FS3] Only the Chosen can wear a nautilus! You're going to be de-harmonized by the Sand God, and disappear forever. [1.1.5.2.3] [2.P_HEX] I'm certainly not going to die for this shell! [1.1.5.2.3] [3.P_FS3] Who said anything about dying? We're not animals! We are made of Sand and Ash! [1.1.5.2.3] [4.P_HEX] Well... I'm not sure I understand what you mean… [1.1.5.2.3] [5.P_FS3] There's nothing to understand! [1.1.5.2.5] [1.P_FS3] Stop harassing me, I have work to do! [1.1.6.1.2] [1.P_HEX] What magnificent plants you have there! [1.1.6.1.2] [2.P_VHS] Well, I take good care of them! And I'm sure to have a crop of ripe sandelopes before the next Hourglass. [1.1.6.1.3] [1.P_HEX] Tell me, what is the purpose of that large hourglass on the square? [1.1.6.1.3] [2.P_VHS] Why, it announces the arrival of a Wave to the Sandpeople! It proclaims the Sand God's will! [1.1.6.1.3] [3.P_HEX] A Wave? Are we near the ocean? [1.1.6.1.3] [4.P_VHS] You've been in the sun too long! The sea is beyond the edge of the earth! But the breath of Khronos knows no limits! [1.1.6.1.3] [5.P_HEX] Khronos? [1.1.6.1.3] [6.P_VHS] Yes, Khronos, the Sand God! You'd better go and see the priests… [1.1.6.1.4] [1.P_HEX] This wave you told me about... how does one escape from it? [1.1.6.1.4] [2.P_VHS] Miserable merthweed! You must be crazy! You can't escape from the Wave! Our memory belongs to Khronos! [1.1.6.1.4] [3.P_HEX] Good Lord, this is all so strange to me… [1.1.6.1.6] [1.P_VHS] Don't stand there like a sandsquash stalk! You'll start to take root! [1.1.6.2.2] [1.P_VHS] Holy Sandelope seeds! You'd better take that to the priests! [1.1.6.2.4] [1.P_VHS] If I were you, I'd take that to the priests before the cactus stabs you! [1.1.6.5.1] [1.P_HEX] That's odd... the sand's not flowing! It's as if time has stopped! [1.1.6.6.1] [1.P_VHS] Bad seed, bad plant! [1.1.6.6.2] [1.P_VHS] Oh, My poor back!! [1.1.6.7.1] [1.P_HEX] Can you guide me through this strange place, little animal? [1.1.6.7.1] [3.P_HEX] That's what I thought. [1.1.6.7.2] [1.P_HEX] It looks like Mrs Watchet's Yorkshire. [1.1.7.1.1] [1.P_PAA1] I don't have time! [1.1.7.1.2] [1.P_PAA1] Go and talk to someone else, I'm busy! [1.1.7.1.3] [1.P_PAA1] Pardon me, but I'm very busy! [1.1.7.2.1] [1.P_PAE1] Oh - can't you see that we're talking? [1.1.7.2.2] [1.P_PAE1] We'll chat some other time! [1.1.7.2.3] [1.P_PAE1] You really do look like an Outcast! Go and see the priests! [1.1.7.2.4] [1.P_PAE1] I'm sorry, but someone's waiting for me! [1.1.7.3.1] [1.P_PAV1] Excuse me, but I have a lot of work to do… [1.1.7.3.2] [1.P_PAV1] Some other time, friend! [1.1.7.3.3] [1.P_PAV1] Oh! I'm late! I don't have time… [1.1.7.4.1] [1.P_PAD1] It would be impolite to interrupt! [1.1.7.4.2] [1.P_PAD1] It's late, I have to go home! [1.1.7.4.3] [1.P_PAD1] Some other time... I've got to go! [1.1.7.4.4] [1.P_PAD1] Later, Please! I must get going! [1.1.7.4.5] [1.P_PAD1] I sense a soul in search of answers… [1.1.7.5.1] [1.P_PEE1] I'd like to help you, but I'm already late! [1.1.7.5.2] [1.P_PEE1] I have to hurry! Excuse me… [1.1.7.5.3] [1.P_PEE1] You look like an Outcast... but I can't do anything for you. [1.1.7.6.1] [1.P_PVE1] You're behaving like a sandscraper! Leave us alone! [1.1.7.6.2] [1.P_PVE1] I have other things to do besides listening to you! [1.1.7.6.3] [1.P_PVE1] Go and beg somewhere else! [1.1.7.6.4] [1.P_PVE1] I have nothing to do with you! [1.2.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I... I've become a child again! What's going on? [1.3.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] What am I doing here? I can't remember anything! [1.3.1.1.2] [1.P_PREA] May the Water of Khronos nourish the roots of your spirit! [1.3.1.1.3] [1.P_HEN] I remember... a long voyage... and a shell with a crystal chip in it… [1.3.1.1.3] [2.P_PREA] You are an Outcast. Now you are back among your people. [1.3.1.1.3] [3.P_HEN] What do I have to do? [1.3.1.1.3] [4.P_PREA] Your task is to care for our plants. May the Sand God bless you! [1.3.1.2.1] [1.P_HS2] The breath of the Sand God has covered everything... I have to find my sandelopes. [1.3.1.2.2] [1.P_HS2] My sandelopes... where are my sandelopes? [1.3.1.3.1] [1.P_HEN] Do you understand what happened, my friend? [1.3.1.3.1] [2.P_HS2] Khronos has taken back what belongs to him. If only he would ripen my sandelopes and make my sandsquash grow in exchange! [1.3.1.3.3] [1.P_HS2] I have to take care of my plants. Come and see me later. [1.3.1.4.1] [1.P_HS2] That's not a sandelope seed! [1.3.1.4.2] [1.P_HS2] That won't help me find my sandelopes! [1.3.1.5.1] [1.P_HS2] You better go and show that to the priests, my boy! [1.3.1.5.3] [1.P_HS2] Take that to the priests before the cactus pricks you! [1.3.1.6.1] [1.P_HEN] It's closed. [1.3.1.6.2] [1.P_HEN] I can't open it. [1.3.1.7.1] [1.P_HEN] This hourglass is gigantic! It makes me feel like a Lilliputian! [1.3.1.8.2] [1.P_HS2] That's not worth a handful of mondal nuts! [1.3.1.9.1] [1.P_HS2] By Khronos! Weeds can destroy even the loveliest garden! [1.3.1.9.2] [1.P_HS2] This miserable merthweed! It's everywhere! [1.3.1.10.1] [1.P_HEN] It looks like a cross between a rabbit and a turtle! [1.3.1.10.3] [1.P_HEN] In a hundred thousand years, it might be the dominating race... [1.3.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I don't understand what happened. Can you explain it to me? [1.3.2.1.1] [2.P_GARH] Don't worry, Effahid. The Water of Khronos will restore the memories that the Wave took from you. [1.3.2.1.1] [3.P_HEN] What memories? I haven't forgotten anything. I may have become a child again, but my brain is still intact! [1.3.2.1.1] [4.P_GARH] Sacred Soul of Ashes! You must have the Gift! Go quickly to the Sand God's temple! [1.3.2.1.2] [1.P_HEN] What do you mean, a gift? I don't know what you're talking about. [1.3.2.1.2] [2.P_GARH] It's no accident that you resisted the breath of Khronos. The priests will tell you more. [1.3.2.1.3] [1.P_HEN] The Wave didn't transform you! How did you manage that? [1.3.2.1.3] [2.P_GARH] I am a sacred guard, and the breath of Khronos spares me so that I can fulfill my duties. [1.3.2.1.3] [3.P_HEN] How does one become a sacred guard? [1.3.2.1.3] [4.P_GARH] You are too curious Effahid. Go and see the priests instead of driving me crazy with your questions. [1.3.2.1.4] [1.P_GARH] Don't stay there, Effahid. You have better things to do. [1.3.2.2.1] [1.P_GARH] Give this sacred object to the priests. You don't deserve to wear it. [1.3.2.2.2] [1.P_GARH] Effahid. Take this nautilus to the priests! [1.3.2.3.1] [1.P_GARI] Go away, Effahid! [1.3.2.3.2] [1.P_GARH] You can try all you like, we won't let you in! [1.3.2.3.3] [1.P_GARI] The Hierarch does not receive Effahids! [1.3.2.4.2] [1.P_GARH] I don't care! [1.3.3.1.1] [1.P_GARI] Go find yourself some shadow, and don't bother me! I don't feel like talking! [1.3.3.1.2] [1.P_GARI] Go and play further away, Effahid! [1.3.3.2.1] [1.P_GARI] Keep your toy, and get lost! [1.3.3.2.2] [1.P_GARI] Go and get lost in the desert! [1.3.3.3.1] [1.P_GARI] Are you really going to show me all your trinkets? [1.3.4.1.1] [1.P_VF3] Be careful not to offend Khronos, or he'll punish you! [1.3.4.1.2] [1.P_VF3] Oh Sand God! Forgive me for straying! [1.3.4.2.1] [1.P_VF3] I have work to do. Come back later. [1.3.4.2.1] [2.P_HEN] I would like to understand what happened to me. Where did this force that transformed me into a child come from? [1.3.4.2.1] [3.P_VF3] The Wave, and the breath of Khronos. Our impure bodies can't resist their force. Only the Chosen can. [1.3.4.2.3] [1.P_VF3] Leave me alone! I have important things to do! [1.3.4.2.6] [1.P_VF3] I don't have time to talk to you. [1.3.4.3.1] [1.P_VF3] Let us thank the Sand God for his good deeds! [1.3.4.4.1] [1.P_VF3] This shell belongs to the Sand God! Take it to the temple immediately or you will be punished! [1.3.4.4.2] [1.P_VF3] I told you to take that nautilus to the priests! [1.3.4.5.2] [1.P_VF3] I have everything I need. [1.3.5.1.1] [1.P_PREA] The Wave took away your memory, Effahid. But the Water of Khronos can bring it back. [1.3.5.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I haven't lost my memory! But I have lost a few years! [1.3.5.1.1] [3.P_PREA] Your memory is intact? That's unusual... Go and see Kemessed. You'll find him in the temple of Khronos. [1.3.5.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Are you a priest of Khronos? Is he really the God of Time? [1.3.5.1.2] [2.P_PREA] Khronos is the master of the world and of Time. We exist by his will alone. [1.3.5.1.2] [3.P_HEN] That's one way of looking at it. In any case, you played quite a trick on me! [1.3.5.1.3] [1.P_HEN] You don't seem to be frightened by what happened! [1.3.5.1.3] [2.P_PREA] Why should I be? The Sand God's breath is the rhythm of our lives. It is part of the Divine Order of things. [1.3.5.1.4] [1.P_PREA] Forgive me, but I must sanctify the offerings. Go and see Kemessed, he can help you. [1.3.5.1.6] [1.P_PREA] I have to distribute the Water of Khronos. Go to the temple and speak to Kemessed. [1.3.5.1.8] [1.P_HEN] I don't mean to be indiscreet but... where does the Water of Khronos come from? [1.3.5.1.8] [2.P_PREA] It comes from the tears of the Sand God. The priests gather them to help men overcome their difficulties. [1.3.5.2.1] [1.P_PREA] You are wearing a nautilus! Go and give it to Kemessed. You will find him in the temple of the Sand God. [1.3.5.2.2] [1.P_PREA] You must give up this nautilus and return it to Kemessed. [1.3.5.2.2] [2.P_HEN] This nautilus is mine ! Why should I give it away? [1.3.5.2.2] [3.P_PREA] You are in danger of being de-harmonized by his power, little Effahid. [1.3.5.2.2] [4.P_HEN] De-harmonized? That sounds disagreeable… [1.3.5.2.2] [5.P_PREA] Follow my advice: Khronos rewards those who obey his laws. [1.3.5.2.4] [1.P_PREA] Go and see Kemessed, and let me finish my duties. [1.3.5.2.5] [1.P_PREA] I have to distribute the Water of Khronos. Go to the temple and talk to Kemessed. [1.3.5.2.7] [1.P_PREA] You are wearing a nautilus! Now I understand... Go and give it to Kemessed. You will find him in the temple of the Sand God. [1.3.5.3.1] [1.P_PREA] May the Water of Khronos nourish the roots of your spirit! [1.3.5.3.2] [1.P_PREA] Your memory has been restored. Go back to the task the Sand God entrusted you with. [1.3.5.4.1] [1.P_PREA] Everything and everyone serves the designs of Khronos. [1.3.6.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello. [1.3.6.1.1] [2.P_GARE] I don't have time to talk to you Effahid. I have been specially ordered by the Hierarch to survey the entrance of the memory sanctuary... by the Hierarch himself! [1.3.6.1.2] [1.P_GARE] The Hierarch said “Kashem, You're my right hand man. I trust you. Guard the door to the Sanctuary!” [1.3.6.1.2] [2.P_HEN] That's quite an honor! [1.3.6.1.2] [3.P_GARE] That's right! [1.3.6.1.3] [1.P_GARE] You cannot go through the red door, Effahid. Orders from the Hierarch himself. [1.3.6.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Do you know what this is? [1.3.6.2.1] [2.P_GARE] It's a sacred object. Only the Chosen can possess it, and I doubt you're one of them. Give it back to the priests. [1.3.6.2.2] [1.P_GARE] Go and give this object to the priests, Effahid. [1.3.6.3.1] [1.P_GARE] You don't have the right to enter! Only the Hierarch decides who has the right to enter the red door. [1.3.6.3.2] [1.P_GARE] Don't bother. You can't come in. [1.3.6.4.2] [1.P_GARE] Ha! You can't get through over there! [1.3.6.4.2] [2.P_HEN] Oh... I just wanted to take a look. [1.3.6.4.2] [3.P_GARE] Don't push it! [1.3.6.5.1] [1.P_GARE] Put that away and go and play. [1.3.7.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm looking for help... [1.3.7.1.1] [2.P_GARF] Look somewhere else. [1.3.7.1.2] [1.P_GARF] Leave me alone. [1.3.7.2.1] [1.P_GARF] It's a nautilus. Go and take it to the temple. [1.3.7.2.2] [1.P_GARF] Play somewhere else! [1.3.7.3.1] [1.P_GARF] Don't bother me with that! [1.3.8.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I beg your pardon but can you give me some information? [1.3.8.1.1] [2.P_VFV] Trade... I've got to trade. [1.3.8.1.2] [1.P_HEN] I wonder if you could help me. [1.3.8.1.2] [2.P_VFV] I've been trading all my life. [1.3.8.1.2] [3.P_HEN] Oh. [1.3.8.2.1] [1.P_HEN] I need help. [1.3.8.2.1] [2.P_VFV] Listen: I'm here to do business, not to chat. [1.3.8.2.2] [1.P_VFV] Don't stay there. Clients will think I'm busy… [1.3.8.3.1] [1.P_VFV] I don't know what to do with this... [1.3.8.3.2] [1.P_VFV] I have nothing to trade for this! [1.3.8.4.1] [1.P_VFV] That's a nautilus. It's sacred. You should show it to the priests. [1.3.8.4.3] [1.P_VFV] Go and take this to the temple! [1.3.8.5.1] [1.P_VFV] Oh shut-up you stupid animal! [1.3.8.5.2] [1.P_VFV] Will you be quiet? [1.3.8.5.3] [1.P_VFV] May Khronos carry you away! Be quiet! [1.3.8.6.1] [1.P_VFV] Don't touch anything, Effahid. [1.3.8.6.1] [2.P_HEN] Oh. I was just looking... [1.3.8.6.3] [1.P_VFV] I told you not to touch anything! [1.3.8.7.1] [1.P_HEN] Oh. That little animal looks like he's difficult to handle. [1.3.8.8.1] [1.P_VFV] It's bad quality. I'm not interested. [1.3.8.8.2] [1.P_VFV] Pack up your junk. It's worthless. [1.3.9.1.2] [1.P_HEN] I think we should let him pray in peace. [1.3.9.2.1] [1.P_HEN] He's not interested in that. [1.3.9.3.1] [1.P_HEN] I can't get through. [1.3.9.4.1] [1.P_HEN] It looks like an altar for offerings. [1.3.9.4.2] [1.P_HEN] This is where the faithful give their gifts. [1.3.11.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello, old man. Could you help me? [1.3.11.1.1] [2.P_VH2] Huh?... Uhh... I don't know... OOWWW! My back hurts! [1.3.11.1.2] [1.P_VH2] OW! My back! [1.3.11.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Old man, could you give me some information? [1.3.11.2.1] [2.P_VH2] OH! This infernal backache! I'm sorry, Effahid, my back is killing me, but I'm ready to trade with you. [1.3.11.2.2] [1.P_HEN] Oh... You have... aged. [1.3.11.2.2] [2.P_VH2] Certainly not! I'm a Vissahid, not a brainless animal! Ow! My back is killing me. I need an ointment. [1.3.11.2.3] [2.P_VH2] We Vissahids often suffer from back pain. That's why the ointments exist. But I don't have any on me… [1.3.11.2.5] [1.P_VH2] You want to trade? What have you got? [1.3.11.3.1] [1.P_VH2] No, no. I won't trade anything for that. [1.3.11.3.2] [1.P_VH2] I'm not interested in that. [1.3.11.4.1] [1.P_VH2] It's a nautilus! I don't trade those! They're sacred! [1.3.11.4.3] [1.P_VH2] You'd better give it to the priests. [1.3.11.7.1] [1.P_VH2] Do you want to trade with me? Offer me something of yours, and I'll exchange it for something of mine. [1.3.11.7.3] [1.P_VH2] Offer me something and we'll trade. [1.3.11.8.1] [1.P_VH2] Hmmm... Let's see... I'll give you a knife for that bowl. Shall we trade? [1.3.11.9.2] [1.P_VH2] Now the knife belongs to you, Effahid. [1.3.13.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello, young man. Could you give me some information? [1.3.13.1.1] [2.P_EF2] Huh?... Uhh... I don't know… [1.3.13.1.2] [1.P_EF2] There's something I'm supposed to do, but what is it? [1.3.13.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello. That's an awfully strange animal you're caring for. [1.3.13.2.1] [2.P_EF2] I don't see what's so strange about it - it's a tripodon. [1.3.13.2.1] [3.P_HEN] Well... it only has three legs. [1.3.13.2.1] [4.P_EF2] Have you ever seen a tripodon with two legs? No? So? [1.3.13.2.1] [5.P_GARB] Hey! Stop whining like a sandscraper and get to work! [1.3.13.2.1] [6.P_EF2] Oops! Excuse me, but I have to keep going. You see, those tripodons belong to them… [1.3.13.2.2] [1.P_HEN] Do we... uh... ride these tripodons? [1.3.13.2.2] [2.P_EF2] The Wave must have turned your head around! You should go see the priests - they'll refresh your memory. Of course we ride them! They're the best way to cross the Great Desert. [1.3.13.2.3] [1.P_GARB] If you don't stop jabbering, I'm going to box your ears! [1.3.13.2.4] [1.P_GARB] Effahid! See the size of my feet? If you don't want a swift kick, you better work! [1.3.13.2.5] [1.P_EF2] He loves his tripodon: he always wants me to pamper it... Pfff… [1.3.13.2.6] [1.P_GARB] Let him work! [1.3.13.3.1] [1.P_HEN] Do you have any information on this object? [1.3.13.3.1] [2.P_EF2] No... I have to... uh... I forgot. [1.3.13.3.2] [1.P_EF2] I don't know where to begin... [1.3.13.4.1] [1.P_EF2] Hey, that's a nautilus! You hardly ever see those. Actually, I don't know what they're good for… [1.3.13.4.2] [1.P_EF2] I can't tell you anything else... [1.3.13.4.3] [1.P_GARB] Go to work! Stop the chatter! [1.3.13.5.1] [1.P_HEN] He looks like Sir Willoughby. But less... stubborn. [1.3.13.5.2] [1.P_GARB] Don't go near that animal: it's mine! [1.3.13.5.4] [1.P_GARB] Go and play further away from here and don't bother my tripodon! [1.3.13.6.1] [1.P_EF2] I always use this kind of knife to cut out honey cactus hearts for the tripodons... [1.3.13.6.2] [1.P_EF2] That's a beautiful knife. [1.3.13.7.1] [1.P_EF2] What am I supposed to do with that? [1.3.15.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello, can you give me some information? [1.3.15.1.1] [2.P_GARB] No. [1.3.15.1.3] [1.P_GARB] I hate Effahids. Go away! [1.3.15.2.1] [1.P_GARB] Are you really going to show me your all your trinkets? [1.3.16.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Hello. My name is Wells. I'm new here, in a manner of speaking. [1.3.16.1.1] [2.P_GARC] I don't know what you mean by “new”, but I welcome you all the same. [1.3.16.1.2] [1.P_GARC] Please excuse my colleague's behavior. He's on edge. Our work can be very trying. [1.3.16.1.2] [2.P_HEN] Where I come from, being rude is more offensive than anything else... aside from being a bad sport. [1.3.16.1.3] [1.P_HEN] What lies beyond these walls? [1.3.16.1.3] [2.P_GARC] The Great Desert. Don't ever go there - there are ghosts prowling around… [1.3.16.1.4] [1.P_HEN] I wonder... what lies beyond the desert? [1.3.16.1.4] [2.P_GARC] The edge of the world, of course. Huge cliffs surround the desert. And beyond them lies the Sea of Eternity. [1.3.16.1.5] [1.P_GARC] I've got to keep an eye on the vicinity. I'll see you later, Effahid. [1.3.16.2.1] [1.P_GARC] It's a nautilus. You must be somebody important if you have one of those. Those who possess a nautilus are blessed by Khronos! [1.3.16.2.3] [1.P_GARC] You will find the priests near the temple. They can tell you more. [1.3.16.3.1] [1.P_GARC] If I were you, I wouldn't go wandering into the desert. [1.3.16.3.3] [1.P_GARC] I warned you Effahid! [1.3.16.5.1] [1.P_GARC] It's a beautiful object. [1.4.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Could you help me? I come from a far away place, and I'm lost in your city. [1.4.1.1.1] [2.P_PREB] Hm... Effahid. I feel you have an uncommon energy. [1.4.1.1.2] [1.P_PREB] Do you want to enter the Chronomantic sphere, Effahid? [1.4.1.1.2] [2.P_HEN] Uhh... I'm not sure anymore. [1.4.1.1.2] [3.P_PREB] You're mistaken. I feel you have an uncommon energy. [1.4.1.1.3] [1.P_HEN] What energy? What are you talking about? [1.4.1.1.3] [2.P_PREB] Khronos has asked me to watch over Man, and his power permits me to see beyond appearances. I detect a spark in you that illuminates the Chosen. [1.4.1.1.3] [3.P_HEN] You seem to know a lot of things... Could you explain to me what that incredible force that submerged the city was? [1.4.1.1.3] [4.P_PREB] That was the Wave, The Wave of Time. It is the respiration - the Breath of Khronos, and It allows him to take away man's memory. That is the only price man is obliged to pay for his protection. But we priests and the sacred guards keep our memories so that we can guide man more wisely. This might appear to be a privilege to those unfamiliar with our religion. But in fact, it is a great burden, for we are responsible for every one of the people of Khronos. [1.4.1.1.3] [5.P_HEN] Don't you think it's a bit cruel for a god to take away a man's memory? [1.4.1.1.3] [6.P_PREB] Not at all, Effahid. In his infinite Goodness, Khronos gave his priests the power to restore man's memory; to give it back to him. [1.4.1.1.3] [7.P_HEN] You say that this God Khronos keeps people's memories. What does he do with them when they die? [1.4.1.1.3] [8.P_PREB] Man doesn't die, Effahid. Time, which passes slowly, has no hold on them. Only plants and animals die. [1.4.1.1.3] [9.P_HEN] This world is very strange... [1.4.1.1.3] [10.P_PREB] The Shekandar monks are exclusively devoted to exploring the mysteries of this world. Their name means they are the Chosen of Khronos. In the middle of the desert, they live secluded lives in their monastery. [1.4.1.1.3] [11.P_HEN] Perhaps these monks could help me... I'm stuck in your world. Do the Shekandar monks control the secrets of Time? [1.4.1.1.3] [12.P_PREB] You ask a lot of questions, Effahid. Go into the copper sphere. You will surely find some answers there… [1.4.1.2.1] [1.P_PREB] Effahid, this is a nautilus. It's a sacred object. Where did you get it? [1.4.1.2.1] [2.P_HEN] It would take too long to explain... it appeared... in my laboratory. [1.4.1.2.1] [3.P_PREB] Only those who have the Gift can hold a nautilus in their hand without being de-harmonized. I feel a special force in you… [1.4.1.2.2] [1.P_PREB] The nautilus is a sacred object. Very rarely, but from time to time, a nautilus appears in the desert. Only the Shekandars can pick it up without inspiring Divine Anger. You have a nautilus, Effahid. And the fact that you can hold it in your hand without being de-harmonized proves that you have a special gift... [1.4.1.2.3] [1.P_PREB] Go into the sphere, Effahid. The spirit there can teach you many things, including your Gift. [1.4.1.2.3] [2.P_HEN] What Gift? [1.4.1.2.3] [3.P_PREB] It's too early to talk about it... Go into the sphere. [1.4.1.2.4] [1.P_PREB] You must enter the sphere, Effahid. [1.4.1.3.1] [1.P_PREB] What you're looking at is a Chronomantic lock. There's one on every sphere. You mustn't touch it. [1.4.1.3.3] [1.P_PREB] Don't touch that lock. You might harm the sphere. [1.4.1.4.1] [1.P_HEN] I don't know exactly why, but he gives me a bad feeling. [1.4.1.4.2] [1.P_HEN] So you're Khronos... My! What a face! [1.4.1.4.4] [1.P_HEN] This type of sculpture might go over rather well in London. [1.4.1.5.1] [1.P_HEN] There is something odd going on here, but I can't put my finger on it. [1.4.1.6.2] [2.P_PREB] It's yours. Keep it. [1.4.1.7.1] [1.P_HEN] Tell me more about the Shekandars. [1.4.1.7.1] [2.P_PREB] I already told you: they are monks. Masters of Magic. [1.4.1.7.2] [1.P_HEN] Can we meet the Shekandar monks in the city? [1.4.1.7.2] [2.P_PREB] The Shekandars rarely come to the city. They live isolated existences and have very little contact with the outside world. [1.4.1.7.3] [1.P_PREB] Go into the sphere. Learn how to use your gift. [1.4.1.8.1] [1.P_PREB] Khronos. May your name be in every thing and every man. [1.4.1.8.2] [1.P_PREB] May my actions always be in harmony with the ways of the world… [1.5.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm looking for information about the Shekandars... [1.5.1.1.1] [2.P_GARH] The Shekandars are the Chosen. [1.5.1.1.1] [3.P_HEN] I heard about a monastery... [1.5.1.1.1] [4.P_GARH] That is where the Shekandars proclaim their faith. It's in the desert. [1.5.1.1.2] [1.P_HEN] How does one get to the monastery? [1.5.1.1.2] [2.P_GARH] You can't go there! It's in the middle of the desert and you need a tripodon! [1.5.1.1.2] [3.P_HEN] And what if I have a tripodon? [1.5.1.1.2] [4.P_GARH] That's not enough, Effahid. In order to cross the desert, you must be guided by Khronos. [1.5.1.1.4] [1.P_GARH] I've told you everything I know. [1.5.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Can you tell me more about the Shekandars or their monastery? [1.5.2.1.1] [2.P_GARI] I have better things to do, Effahid. [1.5.2.1.2] [1.P_GARI] Your shadow bothers me. [1.5.3.1.1] [1.P_HS2] I like taking care of plants, Effahid. They need it. [1.5.3.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Why? [1.5.3.1.1] [3.P_HS2] You see, we men don't die. Plants die, and don't come back. If we didn't take care of plants, what in the world would we eat? [1.5.3.1.1] [4.P_HEN] You only eat plants? [1.5.3.1.1] [5.P_HS2] Of course! Can you imagine eating a tripodon? Or a Sandscraper? Don't say such silly things! [1.5.3.1.3] [1.P_HS2] Plants are so precious that Khronos blesses all of the seeds. Every one of them... [1.5.4.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I don't mean to disturb you while you work, but could you give me some information about the Shekandars? [1.5.4.1.1] [2.P_VF3] I don't know the Shekandars. I would simply like to work in peace. These bas-reliefs are for the temple and they have to be perfect. [1.5.4.1.1] [3.P_HEN] For the temple? [1.5.4.1.1] [4.P_VF3] Yes. I sculpt these bas-reliefs. Sometimes I also restore the statues in the room of the Lords of the Wave. It is very painstaking work. [1.5.4.1.3] [1.P_VF3] Be nice, Effahid and leave me alone. [1.5.5.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I'd like to know more about the Shekandars' monastery. Is it far from here? [1.5.5.1.1] [2.P_PREA] It's a long and difficult journey. Only the Chosen can cross it without fear of angering Khronos. Only those who have the Gift can avoid getting lost in the immensity of the desert. [1.5.5.1.1] [3.P_HEN] Do you have any maps of the desert? [1.5.5.1.1] [4.P_PREA] Effahid, the arts of writing and drawing are reserved for the priests who serve Khronos. Part of our work is to inscribe events in what are called the “Sacred Scrolls”. [1.5.5.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Khronos seems like a cruel God: he takes away people's memories. Then they have no history, no past… [1.5.5.1.2] [2.P_PREA] That's not true! Khronos has given us the job of restoring memory. And to accomplish this, he has given us the Water of Khronos. With this water, some memory will come back to those who have faith in him. [1.5.5.1.2] [3.P_HEN] Only a part of their memory? [1.5.5.1.2] [4.P_PREA] Those who love Khronos know that it's not good to remember everything... [1.5.5.1.4] [1.P_PREA] Have faith in Khronos. [1.5.5.2.1] [1.P_PREA] You have a nautilus. That is a precious object. [1.5.5.2.2] [1.P_PREA] Khronos thinks you are worthy of a nautilus - that is a privilege. [1.5.5.2.2] [2.P_HEN] I'm touched... [1.5.5.2.2] [3.P_PREA] Don't be sarcastic, Effahid. Nautiluses come from the domain of Khronos: the Sea of Eternity. They are carried by the Wave - like the one that submerged our city not so long ago - and they rarely make it all the way here. [1.5.5.2.4] [1.P_PREA] Have faith in your nautilus. [1.5.6.1.1] [1.P_GARE] Halt! No one enters here. [1.5.6.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I am simply looking for information. [1.5.6.1.1] [3.P_GARE] Look elsewhere. [1.5.6.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Is there no way to get through? [1.5.6.1.2] [2.P_GARE] If the Hierarch Harmikail wanted you to get through, I would know about it. I am his right hand man. [1.5.6.1.2] [3.P_HEN] The Hierarch Harmikail? [1.5.6.1.2] [4.P_GARE] Yes. The Master of the city, the king. And high priest of Khronos. [1.5.6.1.3] [1.P_GARE] Go away unless you want to end up in the Hierarch's jail. [1.5.9.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Do you know the Shekandars? [1.5.9.1.1] [2.P_VFV] We almost never see them, Effahid. They don't have the same illnesses we do. They're not interested in what I have to trade. [1.5.9.1.3] [1.P_VFV] If you have nothing interesting to trade, go play somewhere else. [1.5.11.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm looking for information on the Shekandar monks. [1.5.11.1.1] [2.P_VHS] The Shekandar monks. Hmmm... I believe I recall looking for their monastery… [1.5.11.1.1] [3.P_HEN] And did you find it? [1.5.11.1.1] [4.P_VHS] I... I don't think so... I don't really remember… [1.5.11.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Try to tell me more about the monks. [1.5.11.1.2] [2.P_VHS] I can't... I don't remember… [1.5.11.1.4] [1.P_VHS] A merchant trades. That is the order of things. [1.5.16.1.1] [1.P_GARC] The Shekandar monastery? Yes, it exists. It's in the desert. [1.5.16.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Tell me about the desert. [1.5.16.1.1] [3.P_GARC] It's a dangerous place. You never know who you'll run into. [1.5.16.1.1] [4.P_HEN] Who will I run into? Are there people living in the desert ? [1.5.16.1.1] [5.P_GARC] No... well, I mean yes... But they aren't really people. They're specters... phantoms... and they're very dangerous. [1.5.16.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Is there a way to keep from getting lost in the desert? [1.5.16.1.2] [2.P_GARC] I've heard about a talisman... It's the only way to stay on the path... but it's not a sufficient guarantee that you'll find the monastery. [1.5.16.1.4] [1.P_GARC] Don't go into the desert alone, Effahid. It's dangerous. [1.6.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMB] I see that you are a magician, Master. To learn new spells, simply touch the luminous prisms in the cavern. [1.6.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Spells? A Magician? I don't believe in those things. I am a scientist. [1.6.1.1.1] [3.P_LEMB] Please, Master. You're hardly a stupid Sand Bag! Your spirit can see beyond appearances… [1.6.1.1.2] [1.P_LEMB] Magic is based on Chronomantic rhythms. Each prism is a physical representation of a spell. [1.6.1.1.2] [2.P_HEN] Rhythms... Chronomantics? A kind of Magic that uses Time? [1.6.1.1.2] [3.P_LEMB] Of course, Master! Everything is linked to time. The spells use this link to modify reality. Try... and you'll see… [1.6.1.1.2] [4.P_HEN] Manipulate Time? That's a tempting idea. And I know what I'm talking about. [1.6.1.1.3] [1.P_LEMB] As soon as you touch a prism, you learn a Chronomantic spell. You can use it at any moment providing you have a sufficient amount of Jad Garrûl. [1.6.1.1.3] [2.P_HEN] Jad Garrûl?? What is that? [1.6.1.1.3] [3.P_LEMB] In a way Jad Garrûl represents the will of the Chronomancers. It's a kind of third eye, or a sixth sense which permits one to perceive and alter the flow of time. When you cast a spell, your Jad Garrûl goes numb. The more you use Chronomantics, the more your Jad Garrûl diminishes. [1.6.1.1.3] [4.P_HEN] What if I run out of Jad Garrûl? [1.6.1.1.3] [5.P_LEMB] You won't be able to cast any more spells, Master... but there are several ways to obtain more Jad Garrûl: from Black Salt gems, Shells of Time... these things nourish Chronomancers' willpower. [1.6.1.1.3] [6.P_HEN] So it is possible for one to manipulate Time by using willpower alone? I'm not sure I could explain this to my colleagues at Oxford… [1.6.1.1.4] [1.P_HEN] Chronomantics makes it possible to travel through time? [1.6.1.1.4] [2.P_LEMB] Even magic has its limits, Master... Chronomancers aren't Gods ! [1.6.1.1.4] [3.P_HEN] Hmmm... I don't think I'm one myself… [1.6.1.1.5] [1.P_LEMB] Go on, Master... You should touch the prisms. [1.6.1.2.1] [1.P_LEMB] By touching this prism you have learned a spell, Master. [1.6.1.2.2] [1.P_LEMB] Now you know the spell that corresponds to that prism, Master. If you wish, I can help you practice... Inside the sphere, you won't lose any Jad Garrûl. [1.6.1.2.3] [1.P_LEMB] Now you know the three spells which are available to you in this sphere. If you like, you can practice casting them. [1.6.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMB] There is nothing more I can teach you at present. But there are other Chronomantic spheres which contain other forms of knowledge. [1.6.1.3.1] [2.P_HEN] Where are the spheres? [1.6.1.3.1] [3.P_LEMB] Where the Great Shekandars are. But I doubt that other Lemurs are as attentive as I am. You mustn't trust them, Master. [1.6.1.3.2] [1.P_HEN] Something intrigues me: How can a cavern exist in a metal sphere? [1.6.1.3.2] [2.P_LEMB] Reality can be twisted, Master. Lemurs like familiar surroundings. It makes our exile more… comfortable. [1.6.1.3.2] [3.P_HEN] Your exile? Aren't you here of your own free will? [1.6.1.3.2] [4.P_LEMB] Umm... Let's say that we were not consulted about certain decisions that were made. But who can say they are truly free in this world? [1.6.1.3.3] [1.P_LEMB] A glorious destiny awaits you, Master. You will be a brilliant Chronomancer, and Time will hold no secrets for you. [1.6.1.3.3] [2.P_HEN] God hears you. If magic could only help get me home… [1.6.1.3.5] [1.P_LEMB] Master, you can leave the sphere now. Your future is yours. [1.6.1.5.1] [1.P_LEMB] Do you wish to use the De-harmonizer, Master? It's a spell that can destroy your adversaries. Under its power, the Sand of their bodies is no longer in tune with the rhythm of time. If you destroy the bonds that attach a man to the earth, he disappears... until the next Wave. [1.6.1.5.1] [2.P_HEN] To disappear when one is out of harmony with Time? Yes.. that seems logical. [1.6.1.5.1] [3.P_LEMB] I will create an illusion worthy of being a target for you, Master. You must concentrate on it. [1.6.1.5.2] [1.P_LEMB] Go on, Master! [1.6.1.5.4] [1.P_LEMB] Well done, Master! You have succeeded! But I must warn you: illusions are more fragile than real beings... it takes more than one good blow to de-harmonize your adversaries! [1.6.1.5.5] [1.P_LEMB] You are not concentrating hard enough Master. [1.6.1.5.6] [1.P_LEMB] You have de-harmonized it! [1.6.1.5.7] [1.P_LEMB] You must concentrate harder, Master. [1.6.1.6.1] [1.P_LEMB] You have chosen the Warp spell? Excellent choice, Master. [1.6.1.6.1] [2.P_HEN] Do you think so? [1.6.1.6.1] [3.P_LEMB] Yes! The Warp spell puts Time out of synch. You thus become invisible to those who were present at the same time as you. [1.6.1.6.1] [4.P_HEN] Does that mean that I am in the same place, but at a different time? Solely on the strength of my will? I simply must take some notes… [1.6.1.6.1] [5.P_LEMB] Try the Warp, Master… [1.6.1.6.2] [1.P_LEMB] You have chosen the Warp? Excellent! [1.6.1.6.4] [1.P_LEMB] There's something you should know, Master. If you start an activity with a living person, you will no longer be out of synch. [1.6.1.6.5] [1.P_LEMB] Take care, Master. Some people can still see you... You mustn't have blind faith in Magic! [1.6.1.7.1] [1.P_LEMB] You have chosen the Hourglass Ointment? Very well, Master. I will put you under a Chronomantic attack. [1.6.1.7.1] [2.P_HEN] You're going to attack me? But I've done nothing to you. [1.6.1.7.1] [3.P_LEMB] Don't take it personally, Master. The Hourglass Ointment will help you to strengthen the bonds that the Chronomantic attack damages. It will re-harmonize you. Don't be afraid! [1.6.1.7.3] [1.P_LEMB] Be careful - I'm launching the attack! [1.6.1.7.4] [1.P_LEMB] This spell has the same power as the Sand Herbs. Since they are quite rare, It helps you to use them sparingly. [1.6.1.7.5] [1.P_LEMB] There are no restrictions on this spell. You simply need enough Jad Garrûl. [1.6.1.9.1] [1.P_LEMB] Don't go! We hardly know each other! [1.6.1.9.2] [1.P_LEMB] Are you looking for something? [1.6.1.9.3] [1.P_HEN] A talking phantom! I don't understand. I'm at sea about this! [1.6.1.9.3] [2.P_LEMB] The Sea of Eternity is far from us, Master. I am a Lemur, not a phantom. Don't be afraid. It has been so long since anyone visited me. Welcome to my Chronomantic sphere! [1.6.1.10.1] [1.P_HEN] A cavern? This sphere is too small to contain a cave like this. How strange… [1.6.1.11.1] [1.P_LEMB] No Master, No! I can't let you leave the cavern. First, you must learn Magic. [1.6.1.12.2] [2.P_LEMB] First, choose a spell, and then cast it. I must be notified in order to advise you, Master. [1.6.1.13.1] [1.P_LEMB] Oh... I feel sorry for you... In this sphere, I am invulnerable, Master. You are too, by the way. [1.6.1.13.2] [1.P_LEMB] Why are you full of hate, Master? I only wish you well. [1.6.1.14.1] [1.P_LEMB] I've never seen anything like your nautilus, Master. You must have great powers… [1.6.1.14.3] [1.P_LEMB] You mustn't lose such a precious object. [1.6.1.15.1] [1.P_LEMB] This object must be useful to you, Master... at least more than it is to me. [1.6.1.15.2] [2.P_LEMB] Put that object away, Master. [1.6.1.16.2] [1.P_LEMB] Doing nothing is not the best way to learn Magic, Master. [1.7.1.1.1] [1.P_PREB] Now that you have awakened your power, you must go to the monastery. You must become a Shekandar. Your future is assured, Effahid! [1.7.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] How can I find the monastery? [1.7.1.1.1] [3.P_PREB] The desert is vast. But with Khronos as your guide, you can't lose your way. [1.7.1.1.1] [4.P_HEN] Khronos as my guide? But how? [1.7.1.1.1] [5.P_PREB] Well... there is a relic - a very precious object - which contains the will of the Sand God. The Shekandars entrusted it to us, but unfortunately, it has disappeared. [1.7.1.1.1] [6.P_HEN] But... how can I get to the monastery if I don't have the relic? [1.7.1.1.1] [7.P_PREB] You have got track it down. You won't be able to find your way without it. [1.7.1.2.1] [1.P_HEN] People are calling me strange names... Do you know what Effahid means? [1.7.1.2.1] [2.P_PREB] What I find strange is your question. Effahid means “those who play” and for whom thoughts are futile; Adhamid signifies someone who is a guardian, and the Vissahids are the oldest and wisest. [1.7.1.2.1] [3.P_HEN] I think I understand... the Effahids are the children, and the Adhamids are the adults, and the Vissahids are the old people... So this whole world is immortal, and transforms itself according to the rhythms of the Wave! What a bizarre place… [1.7.1.2.4] [1.P_HEN] I wonder when the next Wave will be? [1.7.1.2.4] [2.P_PREB] Only Khronos knows that, Effahid. Since you are not yet a Shekandar, his breath can transform you again. If you are faithful and worthy, you will become a Vissahid: the state closest to the Shekandars, the one all men wish to attain. They possess wisdom. [1.7.1.2.4] [3.P_HEN] What if I haven't been worthy? [1.7.1.2.4] [4.P_PREB] If you have made an error, or turned away from Khronos, you will remain an Effahid. [1.7.1.2.4] [5.P_HEN] I know a lot of people who would like that punishment: becoming children again… [1.7.1.2.6] [1.P_PREB] Be virtuous; maintain your faith in Khronos, and you will not remain an Effahid. [1.7.1.3.1] [1.P_PREB] What's the matter? Come to your senses, Effahid! [1.7.1.3.3] [1.P_PREB] Help!! [1.7.1.3.4] [1.P_PREB] Khronos - protect me! [1.7.1.3.5] [1.P_PREB] Oh Sand God please don't let me reappear far from your temple! [1.7.1.4.1] [1.P_PREB] Like all things, these plants are a part of Khronos. They fill you with His spirit and strengthen your faith. [1.7.1.4.3] [1.P_PREB] Khronos is Good. These herbs are proof. [1.7.1.5.1] [1.P_PREB] An Hourglass of Ashes! That is a precious talisman. The Shekandars use it in their Magic. [1.7.1.5.2] [1.P_PREB] I don't know exactly how it works, but it is a precious talisman. [1.7.1.6.1] [1.P_LEMB] What are you doing? I don't want to leave! [1.7.1.6.3] [1.P_LEMB] I'm not leaving this place. [1.7.2.1.1] [1.P_GARE] Hey! Alert! [1.7.3.1.1] [1.P_GARF] Alert! [1.7.4.1.1] [1.P_HEN] That looks like a weapon... It seems I've loaded it... I feel an energy vibrating inside of it! [1.7.5.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I want to meet the Shekandars, it seems as though I have the Gift. I hope I can find my way through the desert... [1.7.5.1.1] [2.P_PREA] There is a way to keep from getting lost. The Chosen are worthy of wearing the relic. [1.7.5.1.1] [3.P_HEN] Kemessed the priest told me about it. [1.7.5.1.1] [4.P_PREA] The Shekandars call this relic a “Chronomantic compass”. It indicates the precise way to the monastery for those who possess Jad Garrûl. [1.7.5.1.4] [1.P_PREA] May the Sand God accompany you on your quest for enlightenment, Effahid. [1.7.5.1.4] [2.P_HEN] I'm not really looking for enlightenment, I'm looking for a way home. [1.7.5.1.4] [3.P_PREA] The monastery will be your new home... if you're able to overcome all the trials that await you. [1.7.5.1.6] [1.P_PREA] Don't forget, Effahid, you need the compass if you want to get to the monastery. [1.7.5.2.1] [1.P_PREA] These are Sand Herbs. Khronos has given them the power to re-harmonize men's bodies. [1.7.5.2.2] [1.P_PREA] These herbs are a gift from Khronos. [1.7.5.3.1] [1.P_PREA] Don't attack me, Effahid. You will regret it! [1.7.5.3.2] [1.P_PREA] Alert! Alert!! [1.7.5.3.4] [1.P_PREA] May Khronos protect me! [1.7.5.3.5] [1.P_PREA] Help! This Effahid is crazy! [1.7.5.4.1] [1.P_PREA] I think the Shekandars use them to heighten their powers. [1.7.5.4.2] [1.P_PREA] I'm not exactly sure how it works. [1.7.5.5.1] [1.P_PREA] I don't know what good they could do me... [1.7.6.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm looking for the Shekandars… [1.7.6.1.1] [2.P_HS2] I don't know where they are. As a matter of fact, I don't even know who they are. But I've heard that in order to find their monastery, you have to cross the Great Desert. [1.7.6.1.4] [1.P_HEN] I intend to go to the monastery. What do you think? [1.7.6.1.4] [2.P_HS2] You are brave, Effahid. Everyone knows that it's a long and dangerous journey. [1.7.6.1.4] [3.P_HEN] I 'm not afraid. [1.7.6.1.4] [4.P_HS2] Hmm... take these anyway. They are Sand Herbs. [1.7.6.1.5] [1.P_HS2] You must be slightly mad to want to cross the desert… [1.7.6.2.1] [1.P_HS2] These herbs are a kind of blessing from Khronos. They will enable you to strengthen the bonds that tie you to him. [1.7.6.2.2] [1.P_HS2] You will find others on your way, but use them wisely… [1.7.6.3.1] [1.P_HS2] ALERT! [1.7.6.3.2] [1.P_HS2] He wants to de-harmonize me! [1.7.6.3.4] [1.P_HS2] May the cactus prick you! [1.7.6.4.1] [1.P_HS2] Only those who are truly pure can hold a nautilus without fearing the wrath of Khronos. [1.7.6.4.2] [1.P_HS2] This object is more precious than my best sandelope. [1.7.6.5.2] [1.P_HS2] I can't plant that! [1.7.7.1.1] [1.P_VF3] I have to finish this decorative plaque for the temple of the Sand God. [1.7.7.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Speaking of the temple... Perhaps you've heard about the relic? [1.7.7.1.1] [3.P_VF3] What... what relic? [1.7.7.1.1] [4.P_HEN] The one that mysteriously disappeared. [1.7.7.1.1] [5.P_VF3] I... I had nothing to do with that! [1.7.7.1.2] [1.P_VF3] I shouldn't have offended Khronos. But I wanted so badly to become a Shekandar… [1.7.7.1.4] [1.P_VF3] I have to finish my work! [1.7.7.2.1] [1.P_VF3] Stop! Stop! I confess! It was me! I stole the relic! But I couldn't make it work. I traded it to a merchant who wanted to go to the monastery. Don't turn me in! I beg you! [1.7.7.2.1] [2.P_HEN] I won't tell the priests about this incident, as long as it doesn't happen again. [1.7.7.2.1] [3.P_VF3] I swear it! Oh Khronos, forgive me! [1.7.7.3.1] [1.P_VF3] Khronos! May Time take me into its heart! [1.7.7.3.2] [1.P_VF3] I am at your mercy, Sand God! [1.7.7.5.1] [1.P_VF3] I'm surprised that Khronos allows you to wear such a thing. [1.7.7.5.1] [2.P_HEN] Khronos doesn't have anything to do with it. [1.7.7.5.2] [1.P_VF3] The nautilus! The gift of Khronos! May the Sand God forgive me for my sins! [1.7.7.5.3] [1.P_VF3] Khronos watches over those who possess a nautilus. [1.7.7.6.1] [1.P_VF3] An Hourglass of Ashes! That talisman was made by the Lords of the Wave! But it doesn't work on Effahids. You should give it to me - it won't do you any good. [1.7.7.6.1] [2.P_HEN] I'm sorry, but I prefer to keep it. [1.7.7.6.2] [1.P_VF3] This is a powerful talisman. They say the Shekandars make them. Maybe you don't need it… [1.7.7.6.2] [2.P_HEN] On the contrary, I think it could be useful to me... [1.7.7.6.4] [1.P_VF3] Keep it if it means that much to you! [1.7.7.7.1] [1.P_VF3] I have to work. I'm not interested in your objects. [1.7.7.7.2] [1.P_VF3] If you want to punish me, go ahead and do it. But I'm not interested in your things! [1.7.7.7.4] [1.P_VF3] I will be out of favor with Khronos if I don't finish on time. [1.7.7.8.1] [1.P_HEN] That's not very conventional, or very English, either... but it's not bad. [1.7.8.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I would like to meet the Shekandars. [1.7.8.1.1] [2.P_GARH] The Shekandars live in their monastery. To get there, you must cross the Great Desert. [1.7.8.1.2] [1.P_HEN] This Shekandar monastery is quite difficult to find, isn't it? [1.7.8.1.2] [2.P_GARH] If you don't have a tripodon, you can't. Not only that, but you if you don't have the Gift, and are not guided by Khronos, it is impossible to find. [1.7.8.1.3] [1.P_GARH] I can't help you, Effahid. [1.7.8.2.1] [1.P_GARH] Alert! Guards! Help me! [1.7.8.3.1] [1.P_HEN] I can't do it. [1.7.8.3.2] [1.P_HEN] This lever is stuck. [1.7.8.4.1] [1.P_GARH] That's an Hourglass of Ashes - a talisman used by the Shekandars. [1.7.8.4.3] [1.P_GARH] That's not a toy, Effahid. [1.7.9.1.1] [1.P_GARI] By Khronos! You dare to attack me? Alert! [1.7.10.1.2] [1.P_HEN] I was told that you were trying to reach the Shekandar monastery. [1.7.10.1.2] [2.P_VH2] It's possible, Effahid. Yes, I believe I did try to do that. But it was just an attempt... [1.7.10.1.2] [3.P_HEN] Did you get lost in the Great Desert? [1.7.10.1.2] [4.P_VH2] No, no. I had a relic. A Chronomantic compass. OWW ! [1.7.10.1.2] [5.P_HEN] So... what happened? [1.7.10.1.2] [6.P_VH2] My back hurts Effahid… I don't know what happened... I don't remember anymore… [1.7.10.1.2] [7.P_HEN] Do you still have that compass? Will you trade it for something? [1.7.10.1.2] [8.P_VH2] Yes... I have it here somewhere... OWW ! My back is killing me. Listen, Effahid, that compass is not just any old merchandise, it's a very precious relic... on the other hand, my back is so bad that if you have something to relieve the pain, I'll give it to you! [1.7.10.1.4] [1.P_VH2] Effahid, can you do me a favor? My back hurts. Find me something to relieve the pain and you won't regret it! [1.7.10.1.5] [1.P_VH2] Vissahids often have back pain. I believe there is a remedy, but I can't remember what it is... [1.7.10.1.6] [1.P_VH2] Find me something to relieve the pain. [1.7.10.2.1] [1.P_VH2] I'm not interested. [1.7.10.2.2] [1.P_VH2] I'll trade you this Hourglass of Ashes for those herbs. It brings good luck... Well, shall we trade? [1.7.10.3.1] [1.P_VH2] Oh no! I don't take back what I've traded! [1.7.10.4.1] [1.P_HEN] The crystal nautilus has neutralized my attack! I'd better act more peacefully… [1.7.10.5.2] [1.P_VH2] A nautilus? How can you wear a nautilus? Only the Chosen are allowed to. [1.7.10.5.3] [1.P_VH2] I don't trade sacred objects. [1.7.10.6.1] [1.P_VH2] If you want something, you have to ask me. [1.7.10.6.3] [1.P_VH2] Do you need to trade something? [1.7.11.1.3] [1.P_HEN] Is there a way to... uh... rent those tripodons? [1.7.11.1.3] [2.P_EF2] You must be crazy! Those tripodons belong to the guards over there! [1.7.11.1.3] [3.P_HEN] Do you think I could strike a bargain with them? [1.7.11.1.3] [4.P_EF2] No, I really don't think so. [1.7.11.1.4] [1.P_EF2] Don't stay there. The guards don't like me to be distracted from my work. [1.7.11.1.8] [1.P_GARB] Hey you! Get to work! [1.7.11.1.9] [1.P_EF2] Leave me alone! Those guards mean business! [1.7.11.1.10] [1.P_GARB] By Faith of Farkazis! Get to work or I'll break your ribs! [1.7.11.1.11] [1.P_EF2] Couldn't you go and bother somebody else? [1.7.11.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Would this knife be useful to you? [1.7.11.2.1] [2.P_EF2] How did you know? I just broke mine. If you like, I'll trade you some Sand Herbs for your knife. [1.7.11.3.1] [1.P_EF2] Help me! Help me! [1.7.11.3.3] [1.P_EF2] Why am I the only one this happens to? [1.7.11.4.1] [1.P_GARB] Hey! Nobody has the right to do that to my tripodon! [1.7.11.5.2] [1.P_EF2] Are you sure you can keep it? [1.7.11.5.4] [1.P_EF2] If I were you, I wouldn't show that to everybody. [1.7.11.6.2] [1.P_EF2] Let me work! [1.7.12.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Are these animals yours? [1.7.12.1.1] [2.P_GARB] Effahid, I have no time for you! [1.7.12.1.3] [1.P_GARB] My name is Farkazis, and Farkazis has no time to waste on you! [1.7.13.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Would you lend me one of your animals? [1.7.13.1.1] [2.P_GARC] It's out of the question, Effahid! You can't borrow tripodons! Why do you want one? [1.7.13.1.1] [3.P_HEN] I have to get to the Shekandar monastery... [1.7.13.1.1] [4.P_GARC] That's insane! It will be your demise! The desert is full of phantoms and specters. You won't survive it for long! [1.7.13.1.1] [5.P_HEN] What if I go by night? It'll be cooler then. [1.7.13.1.1] [6.P_GARC] Night? I don't know what “night” is. Besides, it's never cool in the desert. [1.7.13.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Tell me - have people already tried to reach the monastery? [1.7.13.1.2] [2.P_GARC] Oh, yes. Many have tried. But without the Gift, it's impossible to find it. [1.7.13.1.2] [3.P_HEN] But I have the Gift! [1.7.13.1.2] [4.P_GARC] That's not always enough... Listen - I do recall one Effahid who tried to get to the monastery. He didn't succeed, but at least he made it back here. He has a stall in the city. Go and see him. Of course, he may not remember anything… [1.7.13.1.3] [1.P_GARC] Be good, and leave me alone. I must be vigilant and protect the city. [1.7.13.2.1] [1.P_GARC] Be careful, Effahid. I hope you didn't do that on purpose. I'm not mean... but don't push me. [1.7.13.2.2] [1.P_GARC] All right. ALERT!!! [1.8.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMB] Take these herbs when you need them. They will re-harmonize the Sand with your body... and they will partially heal your Chronomantic wounds. [1.8.1.1.2] [1.P_LEMB] Don't waste them. They will be valuable to you. [1.8.1.2.1] [1.P_LEMB] I would be quite interested in this Hourglass of Ashes if it were charged. Really... very interested... Will you give it to me? In exchange, I'll give you a new spell. [1.8.1.2.3] [1.P_LEMB] Oh! If only this hourglass were charged, Master… [1.8.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMB] That is an important object for the Sand Bags, Master... It always indicates the direction to the monastery for the Shekandar monks. [1.8.1.3.2] [1.P_LEMB] The direction it indicates never varies... [1.9.1.1.1] [1.P_VFV] Stop whining! [1.9.1.1.2] [1.P_VFV] I'll make you be quiet! [1.9.1.1.3] [1.P_VFV] I'm warning you for the last time! [1.9.1.1.4] [1.P_VFV] All right - you asked for it! [1.9.1.2.2] [1.P_VFV] You be quiet or I'll make a little minced sandscraper of you! [1.9.1.3.1] [1.P_VFV] Help! They're after my sandscraper! [1.9.1.3.3] [1.P_VFV] Leave my sandscraper alone! [1.9.2.2.1] [1.P_VFV] At last! An interesting item! I'll trade you a... let's see... this Vissahid ointment for the Hourglass of Ashes. [1.9.2.2.1] [2.P_HEN] What's that? [1.9.2.2.1] [3.P_VFV] This ointment is an effective treatment for back pain. Vissahids often have bad back pain. A bit of ointment, and ... it goes away! Do you want it? [1.9.2.3.1] [1.P_VFV] Khronos will punish me if I trade this object. [1.9.2.4.2] [1.P_VFV] No. Find something else. [1.9.2.5.1] [1.P_VFV] Help! [1.9.2.5.3] [1.P_VFV] Call the guards! [1.9.2.5.4] [1.P_VFV] They're trying to de-harmonize me! [1.9.2.6.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm trying to find a way to get to the Shekandar monastery. [1.9.2.6.1] [2.P_VFV] I can't help you. I'm a merchant. All I do is trade. [1.9.2.6.2] [1.P_VFV] If you want information, you'll have to look elsewhere. [1.9.2.7.1] [1.P_VFV] You can look, but don't touch. [1.9.2.8.2] [1.P_VFV] Call the guards!! Stop thief! [1.9.2.8.3] [1.P_VFV] But..? What are you doing? Get out of there! [1.10.1.1.1] [1.P_VFV] This sandscraper annoys me! [1.10.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I understand! [1.10.1.1.2] [1.P_VFV] Oh... be quiet, will you? [1.10.1.2.1] [1.P_VFV] An Hourglass of Ashes? Hmm... In exchange for that, I'll give you some Sand Herbs... All right? [1.10.13.1.1] [1.P_FMS] I... I'm dreaming again! [1.10.13.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I beg your pardon? [1.10.13.1.1] [3.P_FMS] That's unbelievable! I dreamt about you last night. [1.10.13.1.1] [4.P_HEN] Really? [1.10.13.1.1] [5.P_FMS] No, not in that way. You were on a beach, and you were frightened by a strange sound. I shouted to you, not to be afraid, but you weren't listening to me… [1.10.13.1.2] [1.P_FMS] I don't know what happened after that. I saw you later by the walls of the city. You were blowing into a conch shell... and the world trembled... [1.10.13.1.2] [2.P_HEN] Jericho? [1.10.13.1.2] [3.P_FMS] I don't know. I prayed to Khronos to tell me the significance of my dream. Because I'm sure he sent it to me. [1.10.13.1.3] [1.P_FMS] That's all I know. I woke up. I don't know what the dream means. [1.10.13.3.1] [1.P_FMS] It's a nautilus. Are you one of the Chosen? [1.10.13.3.1] [2.P_HEN] I'm not quite sure. All this is so strange... [1.10.13.3.2] [1.P_FMS] If Khronos allows you to wear the nautilus, then you must have an important mission to accomplish. [1.10.13.4.2] [1.P_FMS] That's a beautiful object. [1.11.1.1.1] [1.P_VH2] Do you have anything for my backache? [1.11.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I have this ointment. They say it's very effective. [1.11.1.1.1] [3.P_VH2] By Khronos! That's exactly what I need! Thank you, Effahid. I will give you this relic in exchange - it will be useful to you. [1.12.1.1.2] [1.P_VH2] I can't thank you enough, Effahid. This ointment is a miracle of Khronos! [1.12.1.1.2] [2.P_HEN] It's my pleasure. [1.12.1.1.4] [1.P_VH2] The relic was easily worth the relief I feel from my suffering. [1.12.1.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Do you know how this works? [1.12.1.2.1] [2.P_VH2] I have no idea. [1.12.1.2.2] [1.P_VH2] I hope this relic will serve you well. [1.12.5.1.1] [1.P_VF3] Uh... I don't know what that is. And I have work to do! [1.12.5.1.2] [1.P_VF3] You want me to keep on suffering? I already told you that I regret what I did. [1.12.5.1.4] [1.P_VF3] I have work to do… [1.12.6.1.1] [1.P_PREA] You found it! Praise be to Khronos! Where was it? [1.12.6.1.1] [2.P_HEN] It's a long story. I'll tell you when I get back. [1.12.6.1.3] [1.P_PREA] Find the monastery, and you will become a Great Shekandar. I don't know why, but I feel that your future is important for our world. [1.13.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] It is imperative that I get to the monastery. But I need a tripodon to get there. [1.13.2.1.1] [2.P_EF2] No! Don't speak to me! [1.13.2.1.1] [3.P_GARB] Hey - Mind the tripodons! Don't waste time talking! I'm warning you for the last time, Effahid! [1.13.2.1.2] [1.P_HEN] Please... I need a tripodon… [1.13.2.1.2] [2.P_EF2] I beg you... leave me alone! [1.13.2.1.2] [3.P_GARB] I warned you - now you're gonna get it! [1.13.2.2.1] [1.P_HEN] I don't think you'd be bothered by that guard again. [1.13.2.2.1] [2.P_EF2] Thank you Effahid. Now I can work without being afraid. [1.13.2.2.3] [1.P_EF2] Thank you Effahid. That guard was intolerable. [1.13.2.2.3] [2.P_HEN] You don't have to thank me. I detest injustice. [1.13.2.2.5] [1.P_EF2] Thank you again. May Khronos watch over you. [1.13.2.3.1] [1.P_GARB] That's MY tripodon! [1.13.2.4.1] [1.P_EF2] What is that? [1.13.2.4.1] [2.P_HEN] It's a compass. It helps you find your way in the desert. [1.13.2.4.2] [1.P_EF2] Even with that compass, I wouldn't go back to the desert! [1.13.2.5.1] [1.P_HEN] Go on Willoughby. [1.13.2.5.1] [2.P_GARB] Leave my tripodon alone, Effahid. [1.13.2.5.2] [2.P_GARB] You asked for it! [1.13.2.6.1] [1.P_HEN] There is something in those saddlebags! [1.13.2.8.1] [1.P_EF2] Hey! It's a knife. Keep it, I found mine! [1.13.2.8.2] [1.P_EF2] I don't need your knife. [2.1.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Don't you want to, Willoughby? Are you too tired? [2.1.1.1.3] [1.P_HEN] I'd better let Willoughby rest... [2.1.2.2.1] [1.P_HEN] It seems as though the nautilus is trying to give me a hint… [2.1.2.7.1] [1.P_HEN] It looks like this warrior is just an illusion! [2.2.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] Khronos sends a wave that transforms the Sandpeople, but the monks who live close to him don't seem to be affected by it… [2.2.1.1.2] [1.P_HEN] The monks aren't affected by the Wave. [2.2.1.2.1] [1.P_HEN] This looks like a mine. They seem to have found a precious stone here... And this machine is a robot! The Shekandars appear to have very advanced technology… [2.2.1.2.3] [1.P_HEN] I'd like to take a closer look at this robot. It might be quite useful in England… [2.2.1.3.1] [1.P_HEN] There, in the center... someone is addressing the assembly of monks and warriors. He must be their leader! That's who I need to meet! Tetradon Logor Shar! [2.2.1.3.3] [1.P_HEN] I must meet this... Tetradon. [2.2.1.4.1] [1.P_HEN] That is Khronos in the center of that structure, but who are those bizarre creatures with him? [2.2.1.4.3] [1.P_HEN] Khronos is in the middle of an odd structure. It looks like an arch... [2.2.1.5.1] [1.P_HEN] This must help to control something. In any case, it's stuck. [2.2.1.5.2] [1.P_HEN] I can't get through. [2.2.2.1.1] [1.P_SHGB] You can't go in, Effahid, the ceremony isn't over yet. [2.2.2.1.2] [1.P_SHGB] Slave! You're not supposed to linger about here! Go back to work! [2.2.2.1.3] [1.P_HEN] I want to meet the Tetradon. [2.2.2.1.3] [2.P_SHGB] He is busy presiding over the sacred ceremony. [2.2.2.1.4] [1.P_HEN] Is this Tetradon a Chronomantics expert? [2.2.2.1.4] [2.P_SHGB] Do the Lemurs like Sand? Do sandscrapers whine? Listen: The great Tetradon has no equal in the study of Chronomantics! Now disappear, Slave! [2.2.2.1.6] [1.P_SHGB] You must begin your initiation into the Chronomancer's room! [2.2.2.1.7] [1.P_SHGB] Slaves must continue to work during the ceremony. Get on with it! [2.2.2.2.1] [1.P_SHGB] Only the Shekandars can enter these doors. You are a mere Effahid! [2.2.2.2.2] [1.P_SHGB] This door opens only for the Shekandars. Have patience, your turn will come. [2.2.2.3.1] [1.P_SHGB] Alert!! [2.2.2.4.1] [1.P_SHGB] You have a nautilus? You must be a future Shekandar. Go into the Chronomancer's room and begin your initiation. [2.2.2.4.2] [1.P_SHGB] Go into the Chronomancer's room!! [2.2.2.5.1] [1.P_SHGB] All apprentices reach the monastery thanks to this relic. This compass guided you here. [2.2.2.5.3] [1.P_SHGB] You found the road to the monastery. Now find the Chronomancer's room. [2.2.2.6.2] [1.P_SHGB] Put that away! I'm not interested! [2.2.2.7.1] [1.P_SHGB] These Black Salt gems have been blessed by Khronos. Only Shekandars are worthy of consuming them. [2.2.2.7.2] [1.P_SHGB] The Black Salt is reserved for Shekandars alone. [2.2.2.8.1] [1.P_SHGB] This hourglass is a Chronomancer's talisman. [2.2.2.8.3] [1.P_SHGB] Only a Chronomancer is allowed to use this hourglass. [2.2.3.1.1] [1.P_HEN] This is fascinating! Your monastery floats in the air-held up by balloons! It's absolutely magnificent! [2.2.3.1.1] [2.P_SHGC] During your apprenticeship, you will get the chance to see even more extraordinary things. [2.2.3.1.2] [1.P_SHGC] Welcome, Effahid. You found your way across the desert. You are worthy of entering the monastery. If you follow the laws of Khronos, you will become a Shekandar. [2.2.3.1.3] [1.P_HEN] In fact, I am trying to find my way home. The monastery can surely help me one way or the other. [2.2.3.1.3] [2.P_SHGC] Find your way home? Effahid, you came all the way to the monastery, and now it is your home. [2.2.3.1.5] [1.P_SHGC] Begin your apprenticeship in the Chronomancer's room. [2.2.3.3.1] [1.P_SHGC] This nautilus is extraordinary. You must possess unusual powers. [2.2.3.3.4] [1.P_SHGC] The Chronomancer's room. Your apprenticeship begins there. [2.2.3.4.1] [1.P_SHGC] If your time has come, this compass will guide you to your destiny. [2.2.3.4.3] [1.P_SHGC] You should go to the Chronomancer's room. [2.2.3.5.2] [1.P_SHGC] The Shekandars are not traders, Effahid. [2.2.3.6.1] [1.P_SHGC] The Black Salt is the only food worthy of a Shekandar. A monk wouldn't lower himself to eat anything else. The Black Salt nourishes our power and our faith. [2.2.3.6.3] [1.P_SHGC] The Black Salt is refined in the salt treatment room. [2.2.3.7.1] [1.P_SHGC] In their ignorance, the Sandpeople believe that this hourglass is a talisman. The truth is: this object is a catalyst for Magic, which the Chronomancers use all the time. [2.2.3.7.4] [1.P_SHGC] It would be a good idea to go into the Chronomancer's room. [2.2.3.8.1] [1.P_SHGC] Praise be to Khronos. [2.2.3.8.2] [1.P_SHGC] Khronos, hear our prayers. [2.2.4.1.1] [1.P_HEN] What purpose do these machines serve? [2.2.4.1.1] [2.P_SHCB] Treat the Salt. Entirely automatic. Yes. Almost no human intervention whatsoever. No. [2.2.4.1.2] [1.P_SHCB] Forget to take your ration of Black Salt, Effahid? Humph! Effahid slave is not efficient. No. Not efficient. [2.2.4.1.2] [2.P_HEN] I haven't forgotten anything, and I am not a slave! [2.2.4.1.2] [3.P_SHCB] What..? [2.2.4.1.2] [4.P_HEN] I have a nautilus. And I have the Gift. I am here to be instructed by the monks... [2.2.4.1.2] [5.P_SHCB] Sorry. Not used to Effahid apprentices. Welcome, future Chronomancer. [2.2.4.1.3] [1.P_SHCB] During prayers, no activity. Revision, yes. Maintenance, yes. That's what I do. [2.2.4.1.4] [1.P_SHCB] Robot out of order. Can't find the problem. [2.2.4.1.4] [2.P_HEN] Look there. The power coupling on the negative axis has been polarized. I'm afraid you'll have to replace it. [2.2.4.1.4] [3.P_SHCB] There is no negative power coupling. Don't know what it is. [2.2.4.1.4] [4.P_HEN] Oh well. I tried. [2.2.4.1.5] [1.P_HEN] All these machines... tell me, could you help me to build a machine that travels through time? I broke mine. [2.2.4.1.5] [2.P_SHCB] Blasphemy! Travel through time! Time belongs to Khronos! Blasphemy! [2.2.4.1.6] [1.P_SHCB] Prayer almost over. Have to revise machine. Fast. [2.2.4.3.1] [1.P_SHCB] Effahid thinks I can't see him? Warp does not work with Chronomancers. I am a Chronomancer. [2.2.4.3.1] [2.P_HEN] Don't take it personally, I'm not trying to hide. I'm trying to meet the Master of the monastery. [2.2.4.3.1] [3.P_SHCB] Go to the Chronomancer's room. Don't need Warp for that. [2.2.4.3.2] [1.P_SHCB] Warp... humph... Beginner. Can't fool me. [2.2.4.7.1] [1.P_SHCB] Strange nautilus. Never saw one like it. [2.2.4.7.3] [1.P_SHCB] Nautilus dangerous for Sandpeople. Very dangerous. Can't take them without making Khronos angry. Dangerous for them. Yes. [2.2.4.7.4] [1.P_SHCB] Very strange. Take it to the Chronomancer's room. [2.2.4.8.1] [1.P_SHCB] Oh! By Khronos! Where you find it? [2.2.4.8.1] [2.P_HEN] A priest gave it to me. Do you know what it is? [2.2.4.8.1] [3.P_SHCB] Know what it is? Made it! I Made this compass! ME! [2.2.4.8.1] [4.P_HEN] I thought it was a relic. [2.2.4.8.1] [5.P_SHCB] Superstition. But - very important object. Yes. Essential. [2.2.4.8.3] [1.P_SHCB] Sandpeople don't know about machines. Catastrophe! Shekandars even have to take care of the spheres in the temples. Sandmen can't even tell the difference between a screw and a nail! [2.2.4.8.5] [1.P_SHCB] Time to work! No more time to chat! [2.2.4.9.1] [1.P_SHCB] Gems. Long work. Long meticulous work to make gems from ore. Have to concentrate every second. [2.2.4.9.3] [1.P_SHCB] Without Black Salt gems, the Shekandars would be as defenseless as the Effahids. [2.2.4.10.1] [1.P_HEN] It's narrow. But since I'm smaller now, it should work... [2.2.4.12.1] [1.P_HEN] Bad luck! The exit is blocked! [2.2.4.14.2] [1.P_HEN] I can't see how that would help. [2.2.4.15.1] [1.P_HEN] That must be the machine that treats the ore. [2.2.4.15.2] [1.P_HEN] It seems to work all by itself. Automatic machines may be the future of man. [2.2.4.16.1] [1.P_HEN] Actually, Shekandar technology isn't very different from ours... [2.2.4.17.1] [1.P_HEN] Hmm... I have better tools than these in my laboratory… [2.2.4.18.1] [1.P_HEN] OW! This little robot is nasty! [2.2.4.18.2] [1.P_HEN] OW! I guess he doesn't like to be touched! [2.2.4.19.1] [1.P_SHCB] Indispensable! But has to be charged, or it won't work. [2.2.4.19.2] [1.P_SHCB] You can charge it in the Chronomancer's room. The clocks. Find the clocks. [2.2.4.20.1] [1.P_SHCB] Unscrewed. It's unscrewed. Let's see… [2.2.4.20.2] [1.P_SHCB] Perfect. Every part has to be perfect. [2.2.4.21.1] [1.P_SHCB] The Hourglass of Ashes reinforces the bond of the Chronomancers to the Word of Khronos. Or helps to learn spells. Very powerful thing. [2.2.4.21.3] [1.P_SHCB] Jad Garrûl and Sand can grow, thanks to the hourglass. Grow! [2.2.5.1.1] [1.P_FS4] I work here. I watch over the wagons. [2.2.5.1.1] [2.P_HEN] All the time? [2.2.5.1.1] [3.P_FS4] Yes, All the time. That is the will of Khronos. [2.2.5.1.2] [1.P_FS4] The Shekandars are kind to their servants. They allow them to avoid the effects of the Wave. [2.2.5.1.3] [1.P_SHCB] Slaves don't talk! Slaves work! [2.2.5.1.4] [1.P_FS4] I must work… [2.2.5.1.5] [1.P_FS4] I can't talk. I must work. [2.2.5.1.6] [1.P_FS4] Many Sandpeople work in the mines. They also obey the will of Khronos. [2.2.5.2.2] [1.P_FS4] Help! They're trying to de-harmonize me! [2.2.5.2.3] [1.P_FS4] Khronos, help me! [2.2.5.3.1] [1.P_FS4] This gas petrifies the ore. Then, it's easier to grind up. [2.2.5.3.2] [1.P_FS4] That is not a toy! [2.2.5.4.1] [1.P_HEN] You won't get the wagon to start like that… [2.2.5.5.1] [1.P_FS4] These gems come from the treated ore. The Black Salt is a sacred substance blessed by Khronos. [2.2.5.5.2] [1.P_FS4] I don't want to be punished. I'm not supposed to talk. [2.2.5.6.1] [1.P_FS4] I have to go on with my work. [2.2.5.7.1] [1.P_FS4] Certain mechanisms stop during the ceremony. [2.2.5.7.2] [1.P_FS4] We don't treat the ore during the monks' prayer. This is the wish of Khronos. [2.2.5.7.3] [1.P_HEN] The steering wheel is jammed. [2.2.5.8.1] [1.P_FS4] No problem, Master. Everything's working perfectly. [2.3.1.1.1] [1.P_MAQ] Our world is a gigantic desert. At the end of it lie the tumultuous waters of the Universal Ocean. Hourglass City and the Shekandar monastery are the only places inhabited by man. At the center of the desert lies the Sea of Eternity which is surrounded by cliffs that are impossible to get through. The Sanctuary of Khronos is situated above this sea. There are legends telling of a mountain pass called “Crumbling Rock Pass” said to be the only road to lead to the Sanctuary. [2.3.1.4.1] [1.P_HEN] This Pipe passage must go under the hall where the lift is... But where does it lead? [2.3.1.5.1] [1.P_HEN] The fence is rusted shut. It won't be easy to open. [2.3.1.6.1] [1.P_CYL] The Wave is sent by Khronos. It surges out of the depths of the Sea of Eternity and lands in the desert. It ends up at the edge of the world, and disappears into the Universal Ocean. Thus the Wave is born and dies. [2.3.1.6.2] [1.P_CYL] The most esteemed Chronomancer, after Tetradon Logor Shar, is Vel Subek. He invented the famous Shekandar object known as an Hourglass of Ashes. He is also the guardian of the Memory Sanctuary in the heart of Hourglass City. Vel Subek is known for sharing his knowledge with everyone from the greatest Shekandar to the most humble Sandperson. [2.3.1.6.2] [2.P_HEN] I simply must meet this Vel Subek! [2.3.1.6.3] [1.P_CYL] All Chronomantic clocks are in tune with the Sea of Eternity. Because of their extremely precise settings and chiseled mechanism, they can detect the slightest variation in the rhythm of the Sea's ebb and flow. [2.3.1.6.4] [1.P_CYL] Chronomantics are based on the ebb and flow of the Sea of Eternity. Its rhythms are perceived by Jad Garrûl. By the immense strength of their willpower, Chronomancers are able to modify these rhythms. In doing so, they activate the appearance of magical phenomena. [2.3.1.6.5] [1.P_CYL] Nautiluses, like the Shekandar's Jad Garrûl can put one in tune with the flow of the Sea of Eternity. Possessing a nautilus guarantees that your memory will stay intact. A nautilus is considered to be a gift from Khronos, since they seem to come directly from the Sea of Eternity. They often land in the desert, and only pure Sandpeople and Shekandars can pick them up without incurring the wrath of Khronos. [2.3.1.6.6] [1.P_CYL] Lemurs are also called “Sand Stealers”. They are Chronomantic creatures that haunt the desert and the cliffs at the edge of the world. Seeking and absorbing the Sand of man is their main occupation. They might be locked in Chronomantic spheres, and because they are linked to the ebb and flow of the Sea of Eternity, they know its numerous complex rhythms well. By bargaining with the Lemurs, experienced Chronomancers can learn rhythms that help them create new Chronomantic spells. [2.3.1.6.7] [1.P_CYL] There is an unexplained phenomenon that strikes Shekandars who are weary of living: They go to the desert in search of magical arches that will lead them to the Sea of Eternity, and are never seen again. [2.3.1.8.1] [1.P_LEMC] I'm free! Free at last! [2.3.2.1.1] [1.P_SHCC] Let me guess, Effahid... I can sense the presence of Jad Garrûl in you... it's weak and awkward, but yearning to grow... You came to the monastery to develop it, didn't you? [2.3.2.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Uhh... yes, you're probably right... [2.3.2.1.1] [3.P_SHCC] So you must begin immediately! Don't waste another second! Go into the sphere, Effahid, and continue your initiation. [2.3.2.1.2] [1.P_SHCC] You are still only an Effahid. If Tetradon judges you to be worthy, you will become a Shekandar! [2.3.2.1.3] [1.P_HEN] Well, quite honestly, I'm not sure I want to be a Shekandar. I would simply like to go home. [2.3.2.1.3] [2.P_SHCC] Go home? You want to go home? But no one can escape his destiny. If you have managed to cross the desert and succeeded in getting all the way to the monastery, it is your destiny to become a Shekandar. No one can avoid his destiny! Never! [2.3.2.1.3] [3.P_HEN] But I only want to rebuild my time machine, and travel through time… [2.3.2.1.3] [4.P_SHCC] Time machine? Travel through time!? Effahid, you should know that Time is the domain of Khronos, and Khronos alone! He only allows us to approach its confines. No machine could explore the secrets of Khronos. [2.3.2.1.4] [1.P_SHCC] If you wish to complete your knowledge of the world, go and listen to the voice of the knowledge cylinder over there. [2.3.2.1.5] [1.P_SHCC] Go into the sphere and continue your apprenticeship. [2.3.2.2.2] [1.P_SHCC] The Black Salt is the Shekandar's only food. These gems keep Jad Garrûl in an active state. And, if Khronos so wishes, it can also help the most worthy Sandpeople recover their memory after a Wave. [2.3.2.2.4] [1.P_SHCC] There is an ancient proverb that says a Shekandar without Black Salt is like a reflection without a mirror. [2.3.2.3.2] [1.P_SHCC] Your nautilus is odd. Very odd, indeed. There is a shard of crystal embedded in it which seems to be charged with an immense energy. [2.3.2.3.3] [1.P_SHCC] You will soon be a Shekandar. You can keep your nautilus with you. When you become initiated, you won't need it anymore. [2.3.2.4.2] [1.P_SHCC] If your Hourglass of Ashes isn't charged, it's useless. You can fill it by using the Chronomantic clocks... that is, if they're activated. [2.3.2.4.4] [1.P_SHCC] If it's not charged, it's useless. [2.3.2.5.2] [1.P_SHCC] You should know that time warps have no effect on Chronomancers. You are not invisible to me. [2.3.2.5.4] [1.P_SHCC] It's a waste of time to try to make yourself invisible to a Chronomancer. [2.3.2.7.2] [1.P_SHCC] When these clocks are active, one can observe the most minute details of the rhythms in Chronomantic flows. [2.3.2.7.4] [1.P_SHCC] Find the spirit of the sphere, Effahid. [2.3.2.9.1] [1.P_HEN] This clock looks like the quartz clock in my laboratory. It seems to vibrate in rhythm with Time. [2.3.2.9.2] [1.P_HEN] I don't think it indicates hours, but something quite different... [2.3.2.10.1] [1.P_SHCC] This compass is useless to those who have no Jad Garrûl. But those who are initiated and possess this object are certain not to lose their way. [2.3.2.10.3] [1.P_SHCC] You have crossed the desert without getting lost. Now, do you know how to get to the sphere? [2.3.2.11.1] [1.P_SHCC] A charged Hourglass of Ashes has two powers. You must choose. You can either decide to use it on yourself which will increase your Jad Garrûl, and your Sand level. Or, you can offer it to the ghosts of the Chronomantic spheres, and they might give you some new spells. It's up to you. You can either diversify your magic, or reinforce it. [2.3.2.11.2] [1.P_SHCC] Don't forget this hourglass when you go into the sphere - you may be able to bargain with the ghost. [2.3.2.12.2] [1.P_SHCC] There's no time to show me all your things. You must go into the sphere. [2.3.2.13.2] [1.P_SHCC] A Sand Globe? You should know that it contains a powerful concentration of Sand Herbs. Use it, and your body will be back in tune with Time. [2.3.2.13.3] [1.P_SHCC] If you have the choice between some herbs and a globe, take the globe. It is more powerful. [2.5.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMC] You're back? You want some more? [2.5.1.1.2] [1.P_LEMC] You are lucky, Effahid, very lucky that you are not a Shekandar. If you were, I'd have thrown you out of here so fast, you wouldn't have known what hit you! [2.5.1.1.4] [1.P_LEMC] I think your small brain understood that I don't like to be upset… [2.5.1.1.5] [1.P_LEMC] You are not like the others, Effahid. I sense something different about you, and I'm not at all sure I like it… [2.5.1.1.6] [1.P_LEMC] If you are here to learn, touch these infernal prisms. I have no time to waste! [2.5.1.2.1] [1.P_LEMC] A Shekandar has to be smart, Effahid. No matter how hard that is for him. [2.5.1.2.2] [1.P_LEMC] You're no smarter than a Sand Bag! [2.5.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMC] Not bad for a Sand Bag! [2.5.1.4.1] [1.P_LEMC] De-harmonize? Very well. There's your target. [2.5.1.4.2] [1.P_LEMC] Practice. [2.5.1.4.4] [1.P_LEMC] Not bad... [2.5.1.4.7] [1.P_LEMC] You didn't do anything. Is that part of your strategy? [2.5.1.5.1] [1.P_LEMC] Warp? Being invisible has its advantages… [2.5.1.5.2] [1.P_LEMC] Warp? Go ahead. [2.5.1.5.4] [1.P_LEMC] That trick doesn't work on Chronomancers. These dogs can see you even though you think you're invisible. [2.5.1.5.5] [1.P_LEMC] You bore me, Effahid. Do something else... [2.5.1.6.1] [1.P_LEMC] You can use some Hourglass ointment to recover some Sand when you're hit by a Chronomantic attack. If you were a real magician, you wouldn't need it! En Garde! [2.5.1.6.3] [1.P_LEMC] Hourglass Ointment? Shooting you would help me pass the time. All I have to do is imagine that you are Tetradon! [2.5.1.6.4] [1.P_LEMC] That was fun. [2.5.1.6.5] [1.P_LEMC] You can start again if you like... it relaxes me... [2.5.1.7.1] [1.P_LEMC] The Stop Time is a practical spell... Your target is paralyzed, and will be vulnerable as long as it stays that way. Isn't that the time to take advantage of it? [2.5.1.7.2] [1.P_LEMC] Stop Time? Don't miss your target. [2.5.1.7.4] [1.P_LEMC] Not bad for an apprentice. This spell makes me laugh. My fellow Lemurs aren't affected by it. Cast it on one of them... he'll definitely laugh... at your expense. [2.5.1.7.5] [1.P_LEMC] You let opportunity pass you by. Your mind must be on something else... [2.5.1.7.6] [1.P_LEMC] Bulls eye! [2.5.1.8.1] [1.P_LEMC] The Chronomantic mask is a spell that protects you against enemy attacks. But take care - not all spells are affected by the Mask. [2.5.1.8.3] [1.P_LEMC] Need some protection, little Effahid? [2.5.1.8.4] [1.P_LEMC] Oops! Did I de-harmonize you slightly? [2.5.1.8.5] [1.P_LEMC] This spell is effective! [2.5.1.9.1] [1.P_LEMC] A Counterspell is quite useful to negate a spell someone else casts upon you. [2.5.1.9.3] [1.P_LEMC] Try to negate the effects of my spell. [2.5.1.9.4] [1.P_LEMC] You countered my Slow-Motion spell! [2.5.1.9.5] [1.P_LEMC] Humph... Apprentices aren't what they used to be… [2.5.1.10.1] [1.P_LEMC] Who's there? Who dares disturb me? [2.5.1.10.1] [2.P_HEN] I... I didn't mean to disturb you. I came to learn… [2.5.1.10.1] [3.P_LEMC] Learn? Yes, you can learn... But first tell me this: are you a Shekandar? I hate those miserable human leftovers... I'd just as soon kill one as look at it... Make Shekandar powder out of it! Strangle it! De-harmonize it! Send it back to its studies in the desert! Now then, are you a Shekandar? [2.5.1.10.1] [4.P_HEN] Uhh... No! Of course not! [2.5.1.10.1] [5.P_LEMC] All right... I suppose you can learn two or three spells... but don't get on my nerves! [2.5.1.11.2] [1.P_LEMC] If you think you can do without my advice, too bad for you, apprentice! [2.5.1.13.1] [1.P_LEMC] Get that out of my sight! I don't like this nautilus. It vibrates in an... unpleasant way. [2.5.1.13.2] [1.P_LEMC] Put that away immediately! I don't like that nautilus! [2.5.1.14.1] [1.P_LEMC] I don't care! [2.5.1.14.3] [1.P_LEMC] I don't want it! [2.5.1.15.1] [1.P_LEMC] Chronomancers absorb these gems. They think they're superior because they eat them... humph… [2.5.1.15.3] [1.P_LEMC] Keep that for you Shekandar friends. [2.5.1.16.2] [1.P_LEMC] Do what you want with it. [2.5.1.17.1] [1.P_LEMC] A charged Hourglass of Ashes... I want it! I want it! Give it to me and I'll teach you a powerful spell. Just for you. Your very own spell. But a good one because you're not one of those evil Shekandars! [2.5.1.17.2] [1.P_LEMC] Oh! An Hourglass of Ashes that's charged! I'll take it! I'll take it! In exchange, learn a new spell. [2.5.1.18.1] [1.P_LEMC] The Slow-Motion spell hampers the rapidity of a target. Can be very useful... Give it a try. [2.5.1.18.2] [1.P_LEMC] The Slow-Motion spell slows down the target. Mind you, the Shekandars are already pretty slow… [2.5.1.18.4] [1.P_LEMC] Good. A slow motion Shekandar is a no motion Shekandar! [2.5.1.18.5] [1.P_LEMC] Slowed down - you're the one who's slowed down! [2.5.1.19.1] [1.P_LEMC] The Eye of Jad Garrûl dissipates the most persistent illusions. [2.5.1.19.3] [1.P_LEMC] This spell dissipates illusions definitively. [2.5.1.19.4] [1.P_LEMC] How does it feel to be de-harmonized? Traumatic, huh? [2.5.1.19.5] [1.P_LEMC] So this confirms what I thought: Shekandars are only Chronomancer's illusions! [2.5.1.20.1] [1.P_LEMC] This spell has the same effect as De-harmonization - only stronger. Much stronger. [2.5.1.20.3] [1.P_LEMC] Sand to Ashes? Your enemy crashes! [2.5.1.20.4] [1.P_LEMC] Not bad. Reminds me of a dream, an old dream... I cast this spell, and ALL the Chronomancers in the world disappeared. [2.5.1.20.5] [1.P_LEMC] Effahid, it's not a spell for beginners. If you don't get it, you're going to regret it! [2.5.1.21.1] [1.P_LEMC] This spell is practically unknown. I'm not sure I can teach it to you... The Grip of Khronos lasts a few seconds while the target gets weaker… [2.5.1.21.2] [1.P_LEMC] When you cast this spell, the arms of Khronos close slowly around the target destroying the bonds that keep it in Time. [2.5.1.21.4] [1.P_LEMC] Not bad. Do take note that Chronomantic armor is useless against the Grip of Khronos... [2.5.1.21.6] [1.P_LEMC] Addictive, isn't it? [2.5.1.21.7] [1.P_LEMC] Have you ever thought about changing vocations? You'd be better at caring for tripodons! [2.5.1.22.2] [1.P_LEMC] Doing nothing is not the safest pastime for a Chronomantic apprentice... [2.6.1.1.1] [1.P_SHCC] I'm impressed, Effahid. You seem to be gifted at using Chronomantics. [2.6.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Do you think so? It's very new to me… [2.6.1.1.1] [3.P_SHCC] No, no! You should be aware of your worth. You must meet Tetradon. And Vel Subek, too. [2.6.1.1.1] [4.P_HEN] Tell me more about these people. [2.6.1.1.1] [5.P_SHCC] Tetradon is the greatest Chronomancer our world has ever known. He is the Master of our monastery. Vel Subek is the guardian of Hourglass City's Memory Sanctuary. [2.6.1.1.1] [6.P_HEN] Is Vel Subek a Shekandar too? [2.6.1.1.1] [7.P_SHCC] Yes... Well, things have changed since he went to live amongst the Sandpeople. They say he tends to take himself for one of them, forgetting that being a Shekandar makes him superior. It is even said that he has contradicted Tetradon himself. [2.6.1.1.1] [8.P_HEN] Really? [2.6.1.1.1] [9.P_SHCC] Not only that, but he is apparently working on a project that will reveal the origin of time! What a sacrilege! [2.6.1.1.1] [10.P_HEN] I should say so! When can I meet Tetradon? [2.6.1.1.1] [11.P_SHCC] The ceremony has just ended. Tetradon will be here any minute. [2.6.1.2.1] [1.P_SHCC] The phantom in the sphere is hard to handle... it is angry with the Shekandars because it can't get out. But as long as the lock is in place, it will stay in there. Every Shekandar must be able to dominate this ghost and use it for his own benefit… [2.6.1.2.2] [1.P_SHCC] You should know that Vel Subek was the first Chronomancer to discover that a connection could exist between Chronomantics and machines. The Hourglasses of Ashes and the spheres are the results of that discovery... BUT by inventing a machine to SEE into Time, I think he has gone too far. It is sacrilegious! [2.6.1.2.3] [1.P_SHCC] Tetradon Logor Shar will soon be here. [2.8.1.1.1] [1.P_LOG] And thus you appear before me, Effahid. SO... the grim premonition of some awful, unnatural thing threatening the safety of our world that has haunted my being was not unfounded. That thing had your face. [2.8.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I'm sorry, sir... but I assure you - I am no threat to you. [2.8.1.1.1] [3.P_LOG] I will be the judge of that, Effahid! And when you address me, you will use my full name. It is Tetradon Logor Shar! [2.8.1.1.1] [4.P_HEN] Yes sir. Tetradon Logor Shar, I have a favor to ask of you. But first, I must explain my situation. [2.8.1.1.1] [5.P_LOG] I will give you one chance to explain yourself. But hurry up! Time is precious! [2.8.1.1.1] [6.P_HEN] I... I come from England, a country which has been in existence for a long time, and there, I am a scientist. And I had just finished making a machine that travels through Time. But it must not have been perfect, because I landed... in Hourglass City. Now I am asking for your help to get back to my era. Can you help me, Tetradon? [2.8.1.1.1] [7.P_LOG] A scientist? An Effahid scientist? How dare you say to me Tetradon - Master of the Lords of the Wave - that you travel through time? You think you are a God, you heathen? You insult the name of Khronos. [2.8.1.1.1] [8.P_HEN] I beg your pardon? I say, easy does it, Tetradon. I wasn't trying to offend you, I just want to go home. [2.8.1.1.1] [9.P_LOG] Blasphemer! You are as mad as an Outcast! As Khronos is my witness! You pretend to be a scientist! You pretend to travel through time! You are NOTHING! [2.8.1.1.1] [10.P_HEN] But I reiterate, I do not mean to offend you, Everything I said is true. As true as my name is Herbert George Wells! [2.8.1.1.1] [11.P_LOG] You are not worthy of a name! It is high time you realized who is Master here! [2.9.5.2.1] [1.P_FS4] No! You can't go through! [2.10.1.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I'm afraid I'm too old for this. [2.11.1.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Now Vel Subek is my only hope... I've no other choice. I must go back to Hourglass City. [2.11.1.3.1] [1.P_HVI] It's closed! [2.11.1.3.2] [1.P_HVI] I can't open it. [3.1.1.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I beg your pardon, could you watch Willoughby for a while? He'd be quite happy in your pen... [3.1.1.1.1] [2.P_VH4] Willoughby? Do you mean your tripodon? Of course I'll watch him for you… [3.1.1.1.2] [1.P_VH4] You're quite right to look after your tripodon. With all these rebels around you never know what could happen... I hear their Chief has just been captured… [3.1.1.1.3] [1.P_VH4] I will take you to the gates of the city. [3.1.1.1.4] [1.P_VH4] Let's go. The gates are over there... [3.1.1.2.1] [1.P_HVI] You stay here, Willoughby. And be good, all right? [3.1.1.2.2] [1.P_HVI] I can't take you into the city... [3.1.1.3.1] [1.P_VH4] Let's go, Vissahid. Hurry up! [3.1.1.8.1] [1.P_VH4] If you take that bucket, I can't water my plants... [3.1.1.9.1] [1.P_VH4] Thank you. I can't water my plants without that bucket... [3.1.1.9.2] [1.P_VH4] A gardener has to have a bucket! [3.1.1.10.1] [1.P_VH4] It's a nice item, but I don't need it. [3.1.1.11.1] [1.P_VH4] That's a nautilus? I've never seen one! [3.1.1.11.2] [1.P_VH4] If I were allowed to have a nautilus, I'd want it to be like yours. [3.1.1.12.1] [1.P_HVI] I think the nautilus doesn't approve of my attitude... my attack has had no effect! [3.2.2.1.1] [1.P_GARC] The city is calm. There is someone on our minds: but we're not sure exactly who it is. He attacked the sacred guards and stole a tripodon. [3.2.2.1.2] [1.P_HVI] The Memory Sanctuary... It's very well guarded, isn't it? [3.2.2.1.2] [2.P_GARC] Yes. The Hierarch doesn't like Vel Subek to be disturbed. The entrances are watched, and are off limits to the curious. [3.2.2.1.3] [1.P_GARC] Be careful, Vissahid. The Guards are up in arms... It would be unfortunate if they found what they were looking for. [3.2.2.1.4] [1.P_GARC] I have to continue my watch... [3.2.2.2.1] [1.P_GARC] Possessing a nautilus has its advantages... but there are times that it won't protect you... [3.2.2.2.2] [1.P_GARC] Nautiluses do protect those who have them. But you'd be making a mistake to have blind faith in them. [3.2.2.4.1] [1.P_GARC] You shouldn't have... ALERT! [3.2.2.5.1] [1.P_GARC] The priests give us Black Salt. I think it comes from the monastery... and I'm not sure you're allowed to have any. [3.2.2.5.2] [1.P_GARC] Refrain from showing that to everyone... [3.2.3.1.1] [1.P_GARD] Go away, Vissahid. [3.2.3.1.2] [1.P_GARD] I don't have time to answer your questions. [3.2.3.2.1] [1.P_GARD] I don't care. [3.2.3.2.2] [1.P_GARD] Shouldn't you have something else to do? [3.2.3.3.1] [1.P_GARD] ALERT! [3.2.3.4.1] [1.P_GARD] But... By Khronos! You're the one we're looking for! [3.2.3.4.2] [1.P_GARD] Hey! Look what we've got here! [3.2.3.5.1] [1.P_GARD] The Hierarch will decide what happens to you, my friend! [3.2.4.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Why... it's a friend of Willoughby's. [3.2.4.1.2] [1.P_HVI] The tripodons seem to be well treated. [3.2.4.7.1] [1.P_HVI] The beast likes fresh leaves... [3.2.4.8.1] [1.P_HVI] Charming beast! [3.2.5.1.1] [1.P_FS2] Khronos punished me... My Sandscraper is dead. It's a terrible loss for me... I was going to start raising them. [3.2.5.1.2] [1.P_FS2] Raising Sandscrapers: that's the future... I've got an idea: Help me find some Sandscrapers and I'll pay you back. [3.2.5.1.2] [2.P_HVI] Sandscrapers? [3.2.5.1.2] [3.P_FS2] Yes. Let's say... six, no - seven. Bring me seven Sandscrapers and I'll make it worth your while, I promise you. [3.2.5.1.3] [1.P_FS2] Your help was a godsend. Thank you. [3.2.5.1.4] [1.P_FS2] Raising Sandscrapers. That's a great idea! [3.2.5.2.1] [1.P_FS2] My word! You've brought me six, no - seven Sandscrapers. That's wonderful! Here - as promised. [3.2.5.2.2] [1.P_FS2] Don't forget now: seven Sandscrapers… [3.2.5.3.1] [1.P_FS2] You're giving me an hourglass... Let's see... take some Sand herbs in exchange. [3.2.5.5.1] [1.P_FS2] Sorry, but that doesn't interest me. [3.2.5.5.2] [1.P_FS2] I don't trade this kind of thing... [3.2.5.6.1] [1.P_FS2] Come on, come on! Little Sandscraper come here! [3.2.5.6.2] [1.P_FS2] Come here, you filthy beast! Heel! [3.2.5.7.1] [1.P_FS2] A Sand Globe!.. Why, that's totally worthless... But I'll be generous... In exchange for your Globe, I'll give you... some... Sand herbs. That's a good deal! [3.2.5.8.1] [1.P_FS2] Help! Help! [3.2.5.8.2] [1.P_FS2] But what did I do to Khronos? [3.2.5.8.3] [1.P_FS2] The Vissahid wants to de-harmonize me! [3.2.5.8.4] [1.P_FS2] I didn't do anything to you! [3.2.5.9.1] [1.P_HVI] Sandscraper raising seems to be off to a good start! [3.2.5.9.2] [1.P_HVI] I can see raising sheep. But Sandscrapers? I'm not sure that would work in England… [3.2.5.11.1] [1.P_FS2] My merchandise isn't free! You have to offer something in exchange! [3.2.5.11.2] [1.P_FS2] Get down! [3.2.5.12.1] [1.P_FS2] Your nautilus has a shard of crystal in it!? I've never seen anything like it. [3.2.5.12.2] [1.P_FS2] Khronos protects those who possess a nautilus. [3.2.5.13.1] [1.P_HVI] There's nothing inside. [3.2.6.1.1] [1.P_GARE] In order to open the doors of the Memory Sanctuary, you need a seal. This is the Hierarch's order. My job as guardian is of the utmost importance. [3.2.6.1.2] [1.P_HVI] Are you Kashem? You should know that your bottles were stolen by Najazir. I heard him brag about it! [3.2.6.1.2] [2.P_GARE] Najazir? Huh! The swine! I thought so! [3.2.6.1.3] [1.P_GARE] Something Strange is going on... I'm sure I had twelve bottles of ashfire... but I counted them again and four are missing. Someone has stolen them... probably someone who is jealous of my prestigious position as a sacred guard. [3.2.6.1.4] [1.P_GARE] I hope I can get my bottles back. Ashfire warms the throat and the stomach... but you mustn't drink too much... [3.2.6.1.5] [1.P_GARE] About these strange occurrences... I know two women who look so much alike, I can't tell them apart. And they have the right to go through the red door. [3.2.6.1.6] [1.P_GARE] Thank you for telling me about Najazir. I don't know how I'll solve the problem, but I'll find a way... [3.2.6.1.8] [1.P_GARE] The Memory Sanctuary must remain a sacred place reserved for the wise. [3.2.6.2.1] [1.P_GARE] ALERT!!! [3.2.6.3.1] [1.P_GARE] This nautilus is odd. It has some crystal in it... [3.2.6.3.2] [1.P_GARE] Put your nautilus away. [3.2.6.4.1] [1.P_GARE] Your things don't interest me... [3.2.6.4.2] [1.P_GARE] Go and see the merchants if you want to trade that! [3.2.6.5.1] [1.P_GARE] That won't do you any good, the door is locked. Only the Hierarch can authorize your entry to the Sanctuary. [3.2.6.5.2] [1.P_GARE] You cannot come in without the Hierarch's authorization. [3.2.6.6.2] [1.P_GARE] You need a permit to open this door, and you don't have one. [3.2.6.7.1] [1.P_GARE] It's you! The one the Hierarch is looking for! [3.2.6.7.2] [1.P_GARE] Help me! It's him! I recognize him! [3.2.6.8.1] [1.P_GARE] Go to the prison! The Hierarch wants to talk to you! [3.2.6.9.1] [1.P_GARE] That's Black Salt! Are you sure you're allowed to have it? [3.2.6.9.2] [1.P_GARE] Not everyone is allowed to have Black Salt on them. I'm surprised… [3.2.7.1.1] [1.P_GARF] Excuse me, but I'm too busy to talk to you... [3.2.7.1.2] [1.P_GARF] A guard has to be vigilant. Find someone else to talk to… [3.2.7.2.1] [1.P_GARF] WHAT??? ALERT!! [3.2.7.3.1] [1.P_GARF] Keep your objects! [3.2.7.3.2] [1.P_GARF] What am I supposed to do with that? [3.2.7.4.1] [1.P_GARF] Come out of there, or beware of my wrist jadgar! [3.2.7.4.2] [1.P_GARF] I warned you! [3.2.7.6.1] [1.P_GARF] Call the Guards! I recognized him! [3.2.7.6.2] [1.P_GARF] Come and help me! It's him! [3.2.9.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I'm looking for information about the Memory Sanctuary. [3.2.9.1.1] [2.P_PREA] This is one of the most highly protected places in the city. You need a seal to get in, and only the Hierarch can give you that. [3.2.9.1.2] [1.P_PREA] Don't tell anyone, but there's a Shekandar Chronomancer in the city this very moment! What an honor! [3.2.9.1.3] [1.P_HVI] Tell me about Vel Subek. [3.2.9.1.3] [2.P_PREA] Vel Subek lives in the Memory Sanctuary. They say he didn't retire to the monastery because he wanted to stay close to the Sandpeople. [3.2.9.1.4] [1.P_PREA] I must continue sanctifying the offerings… [3.2.9.2.1] [1.P_PREA] Khronos always keeps an eye out to protect you... That's the purpose the nautilus serves. [3.2.9.2.2] [1.P_PREA] The nautilus is a sacred object. [3.2.9.3.1] [1.P_PREA] You went to the monastery? The relic always indicates the way. [3.2.9.3.2] [1.P_PREA] Certainly Khronos allows men to receive such objects, so they may follow the destinies he has mapped out for them. [3.2.9.4.1] [1.P_PREA] A Sand Globe contains an extremely powerful concentration of Sand Herbs. The Shekandars are truly great alchemists. [3.2.9.4.2] [1.P_PREA] Those who wish to travel far must use their Sand Globes sparingly... That could be a proverb, couldn't it? [3.2.9.5.1] [1.P_PREA] Where did you get that? [3.2.9.5.1] [2.P_HVI] Uhhh... The Shekandars gave it to me! [3.2.9.5.1] [3.P_PREA] They must have had their reasons... [3.2.9.5.2] [1.P_PREA] Be Careful! You mustn't give Black Salt gems to just anyone. [3.2.9.6.1] [1.P_PREA] There are legends that say the ashes in the hourglasses are ashes of human souls... Religion is a question of faith, after all… [3.2.9.6.2] [1.P_PREA] They say that hourglasses bring good luck... But only faith makes miracles happen. [3.2.9.7.1] [1.P_PREA] Sand is the physical representation of the bond between man and the Time that surrounds him... [3.2.9.7.2] [1.P_PREA] Sand, like the bond between a physical being and an abstract representation, is a difficult concept to grasp. In our religious studies, we meditate at length on this mystery. [3.2.9.8.1] [1.P_PREA] Even the most simple thing has its purpose. [3.2.9.8.2] [1.P_PREA] Go in peace with Khronos. [3.2.9.9.1] [1.P_PREA] Why do you want to break the ties that attach me to this place? [3.2.10.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Excuse me… [3.2.10.1.1] [2.P_SHCD] What is it now? Can't you see I'm busy? [3.2.10.1.1] [3.P_HVI] I didn't mean to disturb you, believe me. [3.2.10.1.1] [4.P_SHCD] Well you did! [3.2.10.1.2] [1.P_HVI] Do you know the Memory Sanctuary? [3.2.10.1.2] [2.P_SHCD] Yes, and it's not here. [3.2.10.1.3] [1.P_HVI] What are you doing? [3.2.10.1.3] [2.P_SHCD] You are persistent! It's my job to check the Chronomantic lock on this sphere. It's completely unnecessary because this specter has been locked in there for so long he doesn't even want to escape anymore. Besides, there's nothing much we can learn from him now… [3.2.10.1.4] [1.P_HVI] Do you know Vel Subek? [3.2.10.1.4] [2.P_SHCD] Vel Subek? He must be in the Sanctuary. He could verify this lock himself, but he's too busy with his blasted research! [3.2.10.1.5] [1.P_SHCD] No, that's enough. I have other things to do besides answer a Vissahid's questions. [3.2.10.2.1] [1.P_SHCD] A Shell of Time! Where does it come from? [3.2.10.2.1] [2.P_HVI] The Lemur in the sphere gave it to me. He has others - if you're interested... [3.2.10.2.1] [3.P_SHCD] I'm going in the sphere! And I don't want to be disturbed! [3.2.10.3.1] [1.P_SHCD] The effects the nautilus has on the memory are well known. When you become a Shekandar, you won't need it anymore. Now leave me alone. [3.2.10.3.2] [1.P_SHCD] Take particularly good care of this nautilus until you become a Shekandar... do you understand? Good Luck. [3.2.10.4.1] [1.P_SHCD] What now? Oh - a Chronomantic compass! With this object, even the Outcasts can find the way to the monastery. [3.2.10.4.1] [2.P_HVI] Outcasts? [3.2.10.4.1] [3.P_SHCD] Yes, the Outcasts. Those who wander through the desert. The way you look now, you could be one. [3.2.10.4.2] [1.P_SHCD] I have one myself. Don't you have something else to do? [3.2.10.5.1] [1.P_SHCD] Well, well, a tuning fork! That's a Chronomantic protection. But only a temporary one, unfortunately. [3.2.10.5.2] [1.P_SHCD] Didn't you understand? Use your tuning fork when you need Chronomantic protection and if you run out of Jad Garrûl. [3.2.10.6.1] [1.P_SHCD] When you become a Shekandar, the only food you'll need is Black Salt... and you'll have so many duties to attend to, that you won't appreciate being disturbed while you work either. [3.2.10.6.2] [1.P_SHCD] Indispensable! Good bye! [3.2.10.7.1] [1.P_SHCD] Shekandars rarely use Sand Globes. Because they have no adversaries who could compete with them... you understand? No, I doubt it. [3.2.10.7.2] [1.P_SHCD] Adjusting the Chronomantic spheres is a delicate process and takes careful attention. You are bothering me. [3.2.10.8.1] [1.P_SHCD] Hourglasses are useless if they're not charged... even though superstitious Sandpeople consider them to be good luck charms. [3.2.10.8.2] [1.P_SHCD] An uncharged Hourglass of Ashes is about as useless as you seem to be. [3.2.10.9.1] [1.P_SHCD] Difficult to work here... This hourglass is charged. You can go to a phantom in a sphere and trade it for a new spell. Or you can use it to amplify your magical capabilities. [3.2.10.9.2] [1.P_SHCD] An empty hourglass forces a man to examine his choices. It's not easy... Like trying to work with people bothering you all the time. [3.2.10.10.1] [1.P_SHCD] Vissahid, I am busy! [3.2.10.10.2] [1.P_SHCD] Oh Khronos - let me work in peace! [3.2.10.13.1] [1.P_HVI] Something's bothering me, but... what is it? [3.2.10.13.2] [1.P_HVI] This wall is... bizarre. [3.2.10.14.1] [1.P_HVI] I don't think we could found a new religion in England with a God that looks like that. [3.2.10.14.2] [1.P_HVI] Khronos. The God of Time. That sounds good... [3.2.10.15.1] [1.P_SHCD] Trying to unlock this is useless: the ghost inside this sphere won't leave... On the other hand, you are welcome to leave instead of snooping around. [3.2.10.15.2] [1.P_SHCD] Your presence is neither desired nor required. [3.2.10.16.1] [1.P_SHCD] For the sake of Khronos! You'd be better off facing him, Vissahid. [3.2.10.16.2] [1.P_SHCD] This is a warning, Vissahid. [3.2.10.16.3] [1.P_SHCD] I warned you! [3.2.11.1.1] [1.P_VHS] Lovely vegetables! Lovely vegetables! She always wants lovely vegetables. Does she think the sandelopes know that Vel Subek is going to eat them? [3.2.11.1.1] [2.P_HVI] Is someone complaining about the quality of your vegetables? [3.2.11.1.1] [3.P_VHS] Nothing is ever good or beautiful enough for that hag Hamiata. She's Vel Subek's servant. According to her: her master is the Guardian of the Memory Sanctuary, so he deserves the very best vegetables in the city! But I'm sure she eats them herself! [3.2.11.1.2] [1.P_VHS] Did I tell you about Ataimah? She and her sister Hamiata look as similar as two sandelope seeds. But Ataimah is so sweet and friendly; her soul is beautiful! I believe that Vel Subek has given a seal to Ataimah, and not Hamiata. [3.2.11.1.3] [1.P_HVI] Ataimah seems to have warmed your heart... [3.2.11.1.3] [2.P_VHS] She is so lovely - you must meet her. Ataimah and Hamiata live together in a house just East of the square. Ah, Ataimah... her golden peach complexion lights up my poor eyes! [3.2.11.1.4] [1.P_VHS] If I grow a new vegetable, I shall name it Ataimah... What a beautiful name! [3.2.11.2.1] [1.P_VHS] That's a sacred object you have there! [3.2.11.2.2] [1.P_VHS] Nautiluses are closely tied to our Lord khronos! [3.2.11.3.1] [1.P_VHS] Ah, Sand Herbs - a gift from Nature and a gift from Khronos! [3.2.11.3.2] [1.P_VHS] I tried to grow some Sand Herbs, but I think they only grow in the wild. [3.2.11.4.1] [1.P_VHS] A honey-cactus heart! You should add honey-cactus hearts to your diet - they're absolutely delicious! [3.2.11.4.2] [1.P_VHS] A honey-cactus heart has an inimitable sweet taste. [3.2.11.5.1] [1.P_VHS] Very lovely object... But I'd better keep tending my vegetables, or Hamiata will make a scene. [3.2.11.5.2] [1.P_VHS] You see, I prefer the company of my vegetables to Hamiata's... uhhh... that's a very lovely object! [3.2.11.6.1] [1.P_VHS] Alert!!! They're trying to de-harmonize me! [3.2.11.6.2] [1.P_VHS] Help! [3.2.11.6.3] [1.P_VHS] Help me! He's crazy! [3.2.12.1.1] [1.P_FS3] I have finished my work, my priest. [3.2.12.1.1] [2.P_PREA] Very Well. Let's have a look. [3.2.12.2.1] [1.P_FS3] I don't have time. [3.2.12.4.1] [1.P_PREA] Good! Very good! You have done excellent work! May the blessing of Khronos be upon you! [3.2.12.4.2] [1.P_PREA] NO! NO! No! You've made mistakes again! Correct them immediately! [3.2.12.5.1] [1.P_HVI] I took the liberty of correcting several transcript errors on your stone carving... I hope you don't mind... [3.2.12.5.1] [2.P_FS3] Thank you! Thank you very much! You've done me a big favor! Here, take this. I don't know exactly what it does, but the priests treat it as though it's very special. Take it… [3.2.12.5.2] [2.P_FS3] Leave me alone! Didn't you hear the priest? I have to correct my mistakes! [3.2.12.5.3] [1.P_FS3] Thank you so much... really! [3.2.12.5.5] [1.P_FS3] Don't you understand? I have to work! [3.2.12.7.1] [1.P_HVI] THE SHAND GOD SHAVE THE PHTERARCH. [3.2.12.7.2] [1.P_HVI] THE SHAND GOD SAVES THE HIERARCH. [3.2.12.7.3] [1.P_HVI] THE SAND GOD SAVES THE HIERARCH. [3.2.12.8.1] [1.P_HVI] There! Now it makes sense. [3.2.12.9.1] [1.P_HVI] There is nothing left to correct. [3.2.12.9.2] [1.P_HVI] It means what it means. [3.2.12.10.1] [1.P_FS3] You're lucky. If I had a nautilus like yours, I might be able to hear the voice of Khronos. [3.2.12.10.2] [1.P_FS3] Leave me alone! [3.2.12.10.3] [1.P_FS3] Ah... to have a nautilus! [3.2.12.10.5] [1.P_FS3] Don't force me to be rude! I want to be alone! [3.2.12.11.1] [1.P_FS3] Well, you obviously know how to use it! [3.2.12.11.3] [1.P_FS3] You can do wonderful things with this chisel! [3.2.12.12.1] [1.P_FS3] It's a very powerful talisman. [3.2.12.12.3] [1.P_FS3] If you have an hourglass, you have nothing to worry about. Luck is on your side! [3.2.12.13.1] [1.P_FS3] Ah... I think I know what this object is... but I can't remember anymore… [3.2.12.13.3] [1.P_FS3] This object vaguely reminds me of something, but what? [3.2.12.14.1] [1.P_FS3] This Sand globe is a Shekandar object... [3.2.12.14.3] [1.P_FS3] I don't know what it's good for. [3.2.12.15.1] [1.P_FS3] I thank you for everything, but I must get back to work... [3.2.12.15.3] [1.P_FS3] Leave me alone, I'm working. [3.2.12.16.1] [1.P_HVI] No, you really couldn't say that it's very... British. [3.2.12.16.2] [1.P_HVI] I think these designs are rather strange. But then, the whole world finds it rather strange to eat mint sauce with meat. [3.2.12.17.1] [1.P_FS3] ALERT!!! [3.2.12.17.2] [1.P_FS3] Help me!! [3.2.12.17.3] [1.P_FS3] I didn't do anything to him! I swear I didn't! [3.2.13.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Could you give me some information about the Memory Sanctuary? I'd like to know more about it. [3.2.13.1.1] [2.P_GARH] The legends of the Sandpeople are kept there. I could show you the way, Vissahid, but it wouldn't do any good. The Sanctuary is off limits. [3.2.13.1.2] [1.P_GARH] There is one thing that amuses us about the Sanctuary... The guardian behind the red doors is practically deaf! We play tricks on him from time to time - nothing too terrible, I mean it's not his fault... It was because of the Master Shekandar's machine. It used to be located inside the Sanctuary, and made a noise so loud you could hear it in the city! It's been moved since then. [3.2.13.1.3] [1.P_HVI] I wonder... why can't anyone get into the Memory sanctuary? [3.2.13.1.3] [2.P_GARH] Harmikail himself restricted access to the Sanctuary, because Khronos ordered him to do so. I can remember the Hierarch's words. He said: Man's memory belongs to the Sand God... Only the Hierarch can go through the stone doors which lead to the Sanctuary. [3.2.13.1.4] [1.P_GARH] You must have work to do, Vissahid. Don't waste too much time. [3.2.13.2.2] [1.P_GARH] Those who possess a nautilus are lucky! [3.2.13.3.1] [1.P_GARH] I don't need anything. [3.2.13.4.1] [1.P_GARH] Help me! Alert! [3.2.13.5.1] [1.P_GARH] You can't come in! [3.2.13.5.2] [1.P_GARI] You're as deaf as the guard at the Sanctuary. [3.2.13.5.3] [1.P_GARH] Why do you persist? It's useless! [3.2.13.6.1] [1.P_HVI] This lever is stuck. [3.2.13.6.2] [1.P_HVI] Can't budge it. [3.2.13.7.1] [1.P_GARH] There's no doubt about it - this is a Shekandar talisman. [3.2.13.8.1] [1.P_GARH] But... but I know you! [3.2.13.8.2] [1.P_GARH] Come help me! He's the one we're looking for. [3.2.13.9.1] [1.P_GARH] In the name of the Hierarch, you are under arrest! [3.2.13.10.1] [1.P_GARH] If you have some Black Salt, you are on the road to initiation... to become a Shekandar. I hope one day I'll be ready. But I am a sacred guard. That's not too bad. [3.2.13.10.2] [1.P_GARH] Take special care of your gem. [3.2.14.1.1] [1.P_GARI] Vissahid, go talk to somebody else! I'm not in the mood! [3.2.14.1.2] [1.P_GARI] You act as though you had sand in your ears, Vissahid. [3.2.14.2.1] [1.P_GARI] If you want to trade, it's a bit further away, Vissahid. [3.2.14.3.1] [1.P_GARI] ALERT!!! [3.2.14.4.1] [1.P_GARI] Souls of Ashes! You are the troublemaker the Hierarch is looking for! [3.2.14.4.2] [1.P_GARI] Come and help me! It's him! [3.2.15.1.1] [1.P_EF3] Go on! Give me a chance! Let's play again! [3.2.15.1.2] [1.P_EF3] You shouldn't stop at defeat! Another game? [3.2.15.1.3] [1.P_EF3] You seem sad. I know what you need. The best remedy for sadness is a game of Rainbow Nautilus! Show me the thing you want to bet on. [3.2.15.1.4] [1.P_EF3] Let's make a bet - you owe me a chance to get even. [3.2.15.1.5] [1.P_EF3] Luck can change! Let's decide on a bet! [3.2.15.1.6] [1.P_EF3] Nautilus Rainbow is a fun game to play! And you can win things easily. Go on! Give it try! What do you want to bet on? [3.2.15.1.7] [1.P_EF3] Be a good sport! [3.2.15.1.9] [1.P_EF3] Forget bad luck, and let's play. [3.2.15.1.11] [1.P_EF3] Aren't you tempted? Let's play! [3.2.15.2.1] [1.P_EF3] No... that object doesn't interest me. [3.2.15.2.2] [1.P_EF3] Find something else if you want to play. [3.2.15.3.1] [1.P_EF3] Do you want to bet that? Yes... well, all right… [3.2.15.3.2] [1.P_EF3] You want to try again with that thing? It's all right with me! [3.2.15.3.3] [1.P_EF3] You can bet this. If you win, I'll give you some Sand Herbs. If you lose, I keep what you bet. All right? [3.2.15.3.4] [1.P_EF3] You want to bet that? Oh great! Fine with me! [3.2.15.3.6] [1.P_EF3] So - you're a gambler! That object's all right with me. [3.2.15.3.8] [1.P_EF3] This thing is fine with me. I'm betting the Sand Herbs. If you agree, we can play. [3.2.15.4.1] [1.P_EF3] Hey - what are you doing? You're a bad sport! [3.2.15.4.2] [1.P_EF3] Help! [3.2.15.4.3] [2.P_EF3] Where are the guards? [3.2.15.4.4] [1.P_EF3] Help! [3.2.15.5.1] [1.P_EF3] Come on - play a game of Rainbow Nautilus. [3.2.15.5.2] [1.P_EF3] If you're bored, there's nothing like a game of Rainbow Nautilus. [3.2.15.5.3] [1.P_EF3] How about a little game of Rainbow Nautilus? [3.2.16.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I believe there's an odd shaped lock right here. [3.2.16.1.2] [1.P_HVI] I didn't see that lock... [3.2.16.2.1] [1.P_HVI] The Hourglass warns the Sandpeople of the arrival of a Wave... [3.2.17.2.1] [1.P_EFF] I'm not talking to you anymore. I wanted that doll! [3.2.17.2.2] [1.P_HVI] You look preoccupied... [3.2.17.2.2] [2.P_EFF] If you only knew how sorry I am that I threw that doll out... I shouldn't have - my friend was so fond of it! [3.2.17.2.3] [1.P_EFF] Go away! I never want to see you again! [3.2.17.2.5] [1.P_EFF] I have to get that doll back... I mean... do you want to trade? [3.2.17.3.1] [1.P_HVI] This shop is closed. [3.2.17.3.2] [1.P_HVI] The business hours aren't even marked anywhere! What organization! [3.2.17.4.1] [1.P_EFF] I don't want to trade with you! [3.2.17.4.2] [1.P_EFF] A bucket? Yes I do need one. Will you take this Vissahid ointment in exchange? It could be useful to you. [3.2.17.5.1] [1.P_EFF] Put that away. I don't want to trade with you! [3.2.17.5.2] [1.P_EFF] I'll give you a knife for your bowl. Does that seem fair? [3.2.17.6.1] [1.P_EFF] The doll! That's the solution to my problems! In exchange, I'll give you... let's see... this Sand Globe? How can you refuse? [3.2.17.6.2] [1.P_EFF] I absolutely must have that doll! Give it to me! I'll give you this Sand globe for it! You're getting the better end of the deal, you know. I have to have that doll! [3.2.17.6.3] [1.P_EFF] Why do you want to keep it? You don't need it for anything! [3.2.17.6.4] [1.P_EFF] I know who that doll belongs to! I must give it back to her! [3.2.17.7.1] [1.P_EFF] Go away! This isn't your kind of shop! [3.2.17.7.2] [1.P_EFF] Go away! [3.2.17.7.3] [1.P_EFF] What can I do for you? [3.2.17.7.4] [1.P_EFF] Treasures, not trash! That's the currency of the house. [3.2.17.8.1] [1.P_EFF] Alert! I'm being attacked! [3.2.17.8.2] [1.P_EFF] Why is everyone so hard on Effahids? [3.2.17.8.3] [1.P_EFF] Help! This Vissahid is crazy! [3.2.17.8.4] [1.P_EFF] HELP ME!!! [3.2.17.9.1] [1.P_EFF] I think I recognize this flute... [3.2.17.9.2] [1.P_EFF] I've seen this flute somewhere, but where? [3.2.17.10.1] [1.P_EFF] That's a beautiful nautilus! [3.2.17.10.2] [1.P_EFF] I don't trade nautiluses! [3.2.17.11.1] [1.P_EFF] It looks like a Shekandar relic... and you want me to trade it? [3.2.17.11.2] [1.P_EFF] Keep it. [3.2.17.12.1] [1.P_EFF] Hmm... no, I don't want it. [3.2.17.12.2] [1.P_EFF] Keep it. It could come in handy. [3.2.18.1.1] [1.P_HVI] It won't do any good to put that further away! [3.2.18.5.1] [1.P_HVI] It's far too heavy. [3.2.18.5.2] [1.P_HVI] It's impossible to move this crate. [3.2.19.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Uhh... I won't come any closer! [3.2.19.2.1] [1.P_HVI] Oh... he looks hungry! [3.2.19.2.2] [1.P_HVI] An empty stomach puts a tripodon in a bad mood... [3.2.19.2.3] [1.P_HVI] Now that you've eaten, do you feel better? [3.2.19.2.4] [1.P_HVI] All you had to do was feed him. [3.2.19.3.1] [1.P_HVI] The trough is empty! [3.2.19.3.2] [1.P_HVI] He doesn't have anything to eat! [3.2.19.4.1] [1.P_HVI] I can't take the doll... [3.2.19.4.2] [1.P_HVI] Woah! I don't think he agrees! [3.2.19.5.1] [1.P_HVI] I'm afraid he'll eat my hand with the rest! [3.2.19.5.2] [1.P_HVI] A tripodon's teeth must be stronger than the bones in my hand. [3.2.20.1.1] [1.P_EFF] Oh boy! She really gets on my nerves! [3.2.20.2.1] [1.P_EFF] I don't have time now! [3.2.20.2.2] [1.P_EFF] Stop being so persistent, I have to run! [3.2.20.3.1] [1.P_EFF] If you want to trade, meet me at my shop… [3.2.20.3.2] [1.P_EFF] We'll see about that later, all right? [3.2.20.5.1] [1.P_HVI] Hm... this cactus gives off a sweet smell... like honey! [3.2.20.5.2] [1.P_HVI] This cactus smells like honey… [3.2.20.6.1] [1.P_HVI] I can't get any more. The skin is too thick... [3.2.20.6.2] [1.P_HVI] I must have already taken the best part. [3.2.21.1.1] [1.P_EF3] Now we're ready to play! If you ask me, I can explain the rules. To practice, take a ball from the bucket. The game will begin as soon as you tell me which object you want to bet. [3.2.21.1.2] [1.P_EF3] I'm ready whenever you are! [3.2.21.1.3] [1.P_EF3] The game will start as soon as you confirm your bet. [3.2.21.3.1] [1.P_EF3] The principle of Rainbow Nautilus is simple. You have to throw wooden balls in the compartments on the ground. Each one is worth a certain number of points. In order to win, you have to get as many points as possible. But what's fun is to dislodge the balls your adversary has thrown from the compartments they're in! [3.2.21.3.2] [1.P_EF3] The nautilus board has different colored compartments. The yellow, or sun ones, are worth one point. The earth ones are worth two points, and the water ones: three points. The King compartment which is blue, will win you five points if you can get to it. But be careful of the nautilus curves: they're worth nothing! [3.2.21.3.3] [1.P_EF3] You've chosen the white balls, so I'll take the black ones. You have four white balls for the whole game. We each take a turn throwing a ball. The winner of the last game starts. After all the balls are thrown, we count the points. If our points are equal, then it's a tie! [3.2.21.3.4] [1.P_EF3] The loser gives the object he betted with to the winner. Don't forget that I bet Sand Herbs. Now you decide what you want to bet. But remember I have to want it! [3.2.21.3.5] [1.P_EF3] Before you throw the ball, pay attention to two things: the strength with which you throw it, and the direction as well. You can aim for one of the compartments, or one of the black balls, if it's in your way. You can also dislodge mine from a compartment, but if in doing so, it lands on a color, I get all the points! [3.2.21.3.6] [1.P_EF3] It's called Rainbow Nautilus because it has a multicolored board. There's a legend which says that many hourglasses ago, Khronos wept on the desert... and the sky turned a thousand colors. I would like to have seen that. In the meantime, let's play! If you want, I can explain the rules to you again. [3.2.21.4.1] [1.P_EF3] That thing isn't a good bet. Don't you have something else? [3.2.21.4.2] [1.P_EF3] That one is fine with me. When you're ready, we'll start the game! [3.2.21.4.3] [1.P_EF3] Choose something else. [3.2.21.4.5] [1.P_EF3] I go along with your bet. We can start whenever you want. [3.2.21.9.1] [1.P_EF3] What a score! Impressive! That deserves more than Sand Herbs... Here, take this Hourglass of Ashes. It's a powerful talisman that will protect you from many dangers. [3.2.21.9.2] [1.P_EF3] You won! Here are the Sand Herbs I bet. [3.2.21.9.3] [1.P_EF3] It's a tie! You can take back what you bet... we can play another game whenever you want! [3.2.21.9.4] [1.P_EF3] I win this game... and I keep your bet! You'll do better next time! [3.2.21.10.1] [1.P_EF3] I lost! The wind is against me! [3.2.21.10.2] [1.P_EF3] Well... I could do better! [3.2.21.10.3] [1.P_EF3] It's all in the wrist! [3.2.21.10.4] [1.P_EF3] The King Compartment! Nice going! [3.2.21.10.5] [1.P_EF3] There! Looks like I just made a masterful move! [3.2.21.10.6] [1.P_EF3] OHHHh... Luck is on your side! [3.2.21.10.7] [1.P_EF3] Too bad. One try for nothing! [3.2.21.10.8] [1.P_EF3] Are you sure you understand the goal of the game? [3.2.21.10.9] [1.P_EF3] Right! You should aim for the bigger compartments. [3.2.21.10.10] [1.P_EF3] Hey! You're really lucky! [3.2.21.10.11] [1.P_EF3] I like playing a worthy opponent! [3.2.21.10.12] [1.P_EF3] But it's beginning to get to me! [3.2.21.10.13] [1.P_EF3] By the way, are you from Marseille in France? [3.2.21.10.14] [1.P_EF3] Too bad! You could have won... against somebody else. [3.2.21.10.15] [1.P_EF3] Nice try. But it doesn't do much good! [3.2.21.10.16] [1.P_EF3] Be brave! With a little training, it'll get better… [3.2.21.10.17] [1.P_EF3] It's beginning to… [3.2.21.10.18] [1.P_EF3] Hey! You're doing pretty well! [3.2.21.10.19] [1.P_EF3] Well done! Looks like we're going to have some fun! [3.2.22.1.1] [1.P_EF4] Thank you for finding my doll. She must have been scared to death by that nasty animal! [3.2.22.1.2] [1.P_HVI] What's wrong? Why are you crying? [3.2.22.1.2] [2.P_EF4] My friend took my doll. She means a lot to me! [3.2.22.1.3] [1.P_EF4] The Effahids know about the Sand world, but in a different way than the Adhamids, or the Vissahids. The flute that I gave you, for example, can only be played by the Effahids because their fingers are so small. [3.2.22.1.4] [1.P_EF4] I can't play the way I want to without my doll... [3.2.22.1.4] [2.P_HVI] Where is your doll? [3.2.22.1.4] [3.P_EF4] My friend threw it out: into the tripodon pen, I think… [3.2.22.1.5] [1.P_EF4] I believe there's a legend saying that the phantoms can be charmed by the music of the flute. The Lemurs can't resist it. [3.2.22.1.6] [1.P_EF4] Would somebody be kind enough to go and find my doll? I have a special reward for whoever brings it back to me. [3.2.22.1.7] [1.P_EF4] You aren't like the other Vissahids. I don't know what's in store for you, but I wish you good luck... [3.2.22.1.9] [1.P_EF4] My doll! Give me back my doll! I'm so unhappy… [3.2.22.2.1] [1.P_EF4] It's a honey-cactus heart. We use it to sweeten our food. [3.2.22.2.2] [1.P_EF4] It's a beautiful cactus heart... [3.2.22.2.3] [1.P_EF4] You shouldn't eat too much - I think it's bad for your teeth. [3.2.22.2.5] [1.P_EF4] I don't want any. [3.2.22.3.1] [1.P_EF4] My doll! My doll! Oh, I'm so happy! If only all the Vissahids were like you! Here - take this Effahid flute. Look how small and close together the holes are. Only the Effahids can play it. But I'm sure it will be useful to you. [3.2.22.4.1] [1.P_EF4] I can't play without my doll... [3.2.22.4.2] [1.P_EF4] I'm bored... [3.2.22.4.4] [1.P_EF4] Oooo, my poor little dolly - I hope the tripodon wasn't too mean to you... [3.2.22.4.5] [1.P_EF4] You have to be good... otherwise the Sand God will take you away. [3.2.22.6.1] [1.P_EF4] Sand Herbs are good for you. Keep them. [3.2.22.6.2] [1.P_EF4] I don't need them. [3.2.22.6.3] [1.P_EF4] The Sand God makes these herbs grow so that Time won't carry us away! [3.2.22.6.5] [1.P_EF4] My dolly... all alone in this big city! [3.2.22.7.1] [1.P_EF4] Take extremely good care of your objects... you never know when they might come in handy… [3.2.22.7.3] [1.P_EF4] Nothing's left... everything ends one day... my doll... [3.2.22.8.1] [1.P_HVI] My hands aren't made for this flute... [3.2.22.8.2] [1.P_HVI] When I'm younger, I'm sure I'll be able to play this flute... [3.2.22.9.1] [1.P_EF4] Don't forget that only the Effahids can play it... [3.2.22.9.2] [1.P_EF4] I gave that to you... you can't give back a present! [3.2.23.1.1] [1.P_HVI] How did you get yourself into this mess? This machine looks frightening… [3.2.23.1.1] [2.P_HSA] The Hierarch punished me... for stealing a tripodon... but I'm not the one that stole it… [3.2.23.1.1] [3.P_HVI] This Hierarch is a barbarian! [3.2.23.1.2] [1.P_HVI] It pains me to see an innocent man punished... Perhaps I can set you free… [3.2.23.1.2] [2.P_HSA] The guards... they might see you... and this machine... when they use it, it's as if my body... doesn't belong to me anymore… [3.2.23.1.3] [1.P_HSA] I beg you... be careful! [3.2.23.5.1] [1.P_HVI] I can't do anything! [3.2.23.5.2] [1.P_HVI] Something's blocking it... [3.2.23.7.1] [1.P_GARJ] I'm going to go freshen up... [3.2.23.7.2] [1.P_GARJ] Get down from there! [3.2.23.7.3] [1.P_GARJ] You don't belong here! Get down from there! [3.2.23.8.1] [1.P_HSA] Thank you, Thank you so much! [3.2.23.10.1] [1.P_HSA] That won't help me… [3.2.23.10.2] [1.P_HSA] That won't help to free me. [3.2.23.11.1] [1.P_HVI] It doesn't work. [3.2.23.11.2] [1.P_HVI] The steering wheel is still blocked. [3.2.23.12.1] [1.P_HVI] Everything seems to be deactivated. [3.2.23.12.2] [1.P_HVI] That's useless now. [3.2.24.1.1] [1.P_GARJ] ... that idiot Kashem didn't notice anything! Ever since he started guarding the red door, all he can think about is fulfilling his mission the best he can… [3.2.24.1.1] [2.P_GARB] Meanwhile, you empty out his bottles of ashfire! Najazir you are the most underhanded scoundrel I know! [3.2.24.1.1] [3.P_GARJ] Thanks for the compliment! And I'll be taking more of his bottles! He won't notice a thing... until he gets thirsty! [3.2.24.2.1] [1.P_GARJ] You can not go into the prison, Vissahid. We're holding a dangerous criminal in there. The Chief of the Rebels himself! [3.2.24.2.1] [2.P_HVI] Oh!? [3.2.24.2.1] [3.P_GARJ] You heard me! Now get out of here. [3.2.24.2.2] [1.P_HVI] The Chief of the Rebels... what's going to happen to him? [3.2.24.2.2] [2.P_GARJ] The Chief of the Rebels hasn't been judged yet, but since he's devoted to the former king, he might get locked up for eternity... like you, if you don't stop bothering me! [3.2.24.2.3] [1.P_GARJ] I know a guard who looks like you. He's as hard of hearing as you are. [3.2.24.3.1] [1.P_GARJ] Alert! [3.2.24.4.1] [1.P_GARJ] Your nautilus won't get you into the prison... [3.2.24.4.2] [1.P_GARJ] You can not go in, Vissahid. [3.2.24.5.1] [1.P_GARJ] What are you doing with that? Only sacred guards are allowed to have them. [3.2.24.5.1] [2.P_HVI] Uhh... I saw a Chronomancer. And I'm a future Shekandar! [3.2.24.5.1] [3.P_GARJ] Yes... Considering how strange you are, that must be true... [3.2.24.5.2] [1.P_GARJ] So you have some Black Salt... you can't fool me! [3.2.24.6.1] [1.P_GARJ] You can make some good alcohol with that... I love ashfire... especially when I don't have to make it myself! [3.2.24.6.2] [1.P_GARJ] I have what I need. [3.2.24.7.1] [1.P_GARJ] Don't waste my time! [3.2.24.7.2] [1.P_GARJ] Are you just going to stand there doing nothing? [3.2.24.8.1] [1.P_GARJ] But By Khronos! You're the one the Hierarch's looking for! [3.2.24.8.2] [1.P_GARJ] Hey! Come help me! It's him! [3.2.24.9.1] [1.P_GARJ] It's all over for you, Rebel! [3.2.24.10.1] [1.P_GARJ] The prison isn't open to everyone, Vissahid! [3.2.24.10.2] [1.P_GARB] Go away! [3.2.25.1.1] [1.P_GARB] Leave me alone! I got de-harmonized by a filthy Effahid. That puts me in a very bad mood. [3.2.25.1.2] [1.P_GARB] If you keep bothering me, I'm going to put you on the torture machine. That'll put me back in a good mood. [3.2.25.2.1] [1.P_GARB] Do you really think I'm interested in your trinkets? [3.2.25.4.1] [1.P_GARB] ALERT!! [3.2.25.5.1] [1.P_GARB] It's you! You're the one who de-harmonized me! I'll make you pay for that! [3.2.25.5.2] [1.P_GARB] Come and help me! He's our man! [3.2.28.7.1] [1.P_GARG] You rang? [3.2.28.7.1] [2.P_HVI] Yes. I'd like to come in. [3.2.28.7.1] [3.P_GARG] Hourglass Square is further away. [3.2.28.7.1] [4.P_HVI] No, not Hourglass Square. I want to come in! [3.2.28.7.1] [5.P_GARG] Look - I told you - this isn't Hourglass Square! Are you deaf or what? [3.2.28.7.2] [1.P_GARG] Everybody is always asking me where Hourglass Square is! It's enough to drive you crazy! [3.3.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMB] Master... you have come back. I wonder... did you see anyone outside? [3.3.1.1.1] [2.P_HVI] Yes... There is a Shekandar monk outside. [3.3.1.1.1] [3.P_LEMB] A Chronomancer! I knew it! A Chronomancer monk only a few meters away from me! No other news could make me happier, Master! You should visit me more often! [3.3.1.1.2] [1.P_LEMB] Could you do me a favor, Master? A big favor? [3.3.1.1.2] [2.P_HVI] Why not? [3.3.1.1.2] [3.P_LEMB] Ask the monk to come in. I want to see him. It has been ages since I've seen a Shekandar. They have so much in common with Lemurs... I must talk to him… [3.3.1.1.2] [4.P_HVI] It's just that I don't know how to induce him to come in. [3.3.1.1.2] [5.P_LEMB] Hmm... there must be a way… [3.3.1.1.3] [1.P_LEMB] I have an idea! To get him to come in, give the monk this Shell of Time, and tell him that I gave it to you. It's just an illusion: real shells of time are quite rare. Shekandars are always searching for them. He'll be so impatient to know more that he won't realize it's a fake! [3.3.1.1.3] [2.P_HVI] You're a clever one... [3.3.1.1.3] [3.P_LEMB] That's why I'm still here... safe from the harshness of the desert. [3.3.1.1.4] [1.P_LEMB] Give him the shell! And tell him there are more in here! [3.3.1.1.5] [1.P_LEMB] Don't try to use this shell... the illusion will disintegrate. [3.3.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMB] A charged Hourglass of Ashes! You are a blessing from Khronos, Master! Thank you. Choose a spell in exchange! [3.3.1.3.2] [1.P_LEMB] Thank you, Master. You know - there aren't many like you! Let me teach you a spell! Choose which one! [3.3.1.4.1] [1.P_LEMB] This Shell of Time is an illusion, Master. You have to give it to the monk out there. [3.3.1.4.2] [1.P_LEMB] Don't use it Master. It won't do any good. [3.3.1.4.3] [1.P_LEMB] An illusion, Master... only an illusion… [3.3.1.6.1] [1.P_LEMB] This object is yours. Keep it. [3.3.1.6.2] [1.P_LEMB] Thank you, but I can't accept. [3.3.1.7.1] [1.P_LEMB] Get this away from me, Master! I detest Effahid flutes. [3.3.1.7.2] [1.P_LEMB] Luckily these awful things have no effect in the spheres. [3.3.1.7.3] [1.P_LEMB] Yech! Just looking at this flute disgusts me! [3.3.1.8.1] [1.P_HVI] The shell has disappeared... and it didn't have any effect! [3.3.1.10.1] [1.P_LEMB] De-harmonize? I'll conjure up a guard. Even though he's done nothing to deserve being shot at, you can practice! [3.3.1.11.1] [1.P_LEMB] The Warp is a handy spell to cast if you want something to disappear! [3.3.1.12.1] [1.P_LEMB] Hourglass Ointment? This is practical if you've undergone a Chronomantic attack, and lost some Sand. But that won't happen to you, Master: you're too clever! [3.3.1.13.1] [1.P_LEMB] This spell paralyzes your target for a few seconds. [3.3.1.13.2] [1.P_LEMB] A paralyzed target is a vulnerable one. [3.3.1.13.4] [1.P_LEMB] You're an expert, Master. [3.3.1.13.5] [1.P_LEMB] As a Vissahid your hands tremble, but not your heart - I'm sure of it. [3.3.1.14.1] [1.P_LEMB] Chronomantic attacks can be cruel! Luckily you can call on the Mask. [3.3.1.14.2] [1.P_LEMB] Chronomantic Mask? Excellent, Master. You may practice! [3.3.1.14.4] [1.P_LEMB] Training can be difficult... but you must persevere. [3.3.1.14.5] [1.P_LEMB] You know this spell like the back of your hand. [3.3.1.15.1] [1.P_LEMB] The Counterspell cancels out all spells cast against you... That is, those with lasting effects... [3.3.1.15.2] [1.P_LEMB] I'll cast a spell on you, and you can stop it with the Counterspell. Shall we? [3.3.1.15.4] [1.P_LEMB] Perfect! [3.3.1.15.5] [1.P_LEMB] The real secret of Chronomantics is to concentrate. Concentrate hard, Master! [3.3.1.16.1] [1.P_LEMB] The effect of this spell is clear. The Slow-Motion spell slows down the target. [3.3.1.16.2] [1.P_LEMB] Slowing down a target can be practical... Try! [3.3.1.16.4] [1.P_LEMB] Did you see? You slowed it down! [3.3.1.16.5] [1.P_LEMB] You missed it! You must be quicker to slow it down, Master… [3.3.1.17.1] [1.P_LEMB] Jad Garrûl doesn't lie. Never! The Eye of Jad Garrûl spell dissolves all illusions - everything that is not real. [3.3.1.17.2] [1.P_LEMB] Real Chronomancers hate lies. That's why they use the Eye of Jad Garrûl spell. [3.3.1.17.4] [1.P_LEMB] You see? I told you the truth... [3.3.1.17.5] [1.P_LEMB] Jad Garrûl: the source of all truth, Master. [3.3.1.18.1] [1.P_LEMB] The Sand to Ashes spell is like the De-harmonizer, Master... only much stronger… [3.3.1.18.2] [1.P_LEMB] I know Chronomantics, Master. This spell is one of the most powerful. [3.3.1.18.4] [1.P_LEMB] What authority! What talent! Master: you are a Master! [3.3.1.18.5] [1.P_LEMB] Don't be discouraged... [3.3.1.19.1] [1.P_LEMB] The Grip of Khronos... As his arms take hold of the target, the bonds that keep it in time, let go little by little... Try… [3.3.1.19.2] [1.P_LEMB] The Sand God's arms do not necessarily open with affection, but they do close with determination... [3.3.1.19.4] [1.P_LEMB] Good... your victim hasn't got a chance. [3.3.1.19.5] [1.P_LEMB] Come along, Master... a bit of concentration!.. ehhh, not that that's an order, of course… [3.3.1.20.1] [1.P_LEMB] The Chip of Salt spell creates a bond between your Jad Garrûl and that of your adversary. Once this tie has been established, you can draw out the strength and will of your enemy's Jad Garrûl... Try it on this Chronomancer. [3.3.1.20.2] [1.P_LEMB] Real Jad Garrûl is made of mental force and willpower. That's why this spell is so effective. [3.3.1.20.4] [1.P_LEMB] You are an artist, Master! [3.3.1.20.5] [1.P_LEMB] Too bad! Try again, Master. [3.3.1.21.1] [1.P_LEMB] Are you meditating, Master? [3.3.1.21.2] [1.P_LEMB] A little training would do you good, Master... if I may be so bold… [3.3.1.23.1] [1.P_LEMB] No! No! No!! You didn't do what you should have, Master. It's your fault if the Chronomancer didn't come to see me! You don't deserve my help! You'll have to get along by yourself! [3.3.1.24.1] [1.P_LEMB] Black Salt is the Chronomancer's food, Master... But you knew that, didn't you? [3.3.1.24.2] [1.P_LEMB] Some say Black Salt is a blessing from Khronos. [3.4.1.1.1] [1.P_HVI] Amazing! These look like tea leaves! They remind me of England… [3.4.1.2.1] [1.P_VHS] Those are merthweed leaves. Holy Sandsquash, they are impossible weeds! [3.4.1.2.1] [2.P_HVI] Weeds? They look like tea! [3.4.1.2.1] [3.P_VHS] Keep them if you want, but I can't see what good they'll do you. [3.4.1.2.2] [1.P_VHS] If merthweed starts to invade your garden, it's harder to get rid of than catching a sandscraper with a honey-cactus! [3.4.2.2.1] [1.P_HVI] Those look like tea leaves! At last, something familiar… [3.4.3.1.1] [1.P_HVI] It looks like they dry some kind of nuts on this tray… [3.4.3.3.1] [1.P_HVI] That might make caramel, and I don't want any caramel. [3.4.3.4.1] [1.P_HVI] They're still damp. Maybe I should leave them a little longer... [3.4.3.4.2] [1.P_HVI] These leaves are still fresh... Too bad… [3.4.3.5.1] [1.P_HVI] These leaves are nice and dry. I'll be able to make an excellent cup of tea with them! [3.4.3.5.2] [1.P_HVI] Making tea for these people would give them a taste of our brilliant English civilization! [3.4.3.6.1] [1.P_HVI] The leaves are already dry. [3.4.4.1.1] [1.P_VF2A] Doesn't my kitchen smell good? Vel Subek often tells me he'd like to eat something other than Black Salt... I keep trying new recipes, but he never likes anything I prepare for him! [3.4.4.1.1] [2.P_HVI] Nonetheless, your kitchen smells good! [3.4.4.1.1] [3.P_VF2A] I'm an excellent cook... but it's not easy. The vegetables the gardener gives me are second rate... they aren't worthy of my cooking… [3.4.4.1.2] [1.P_VF2A] I'd like to find a new recipe. Vel Subek would really like to eat something other than Black Salt. He's counting on me, Hamiata! He's a very demanding master. [3.4.4.1.2] [2.P_HVI] Are you her governess? [3.4.4.1.2] [3.P_VF2A] I don't govern anything! Ataimah and I have access to the Memory Sanctuary to serve the master when he need us. We have a seal from the Hierarch which we show to the guards so that they'll let us through. [3.4.4.1.3] [1.P_VF2A] Thank you for this recipe. It's simple and delicious. [3.4.4.1.3] [2.P_HVI] Tea is like a little piece of England, you know.... [3.4.4.1.4] [1.P_VF2A] I would give anything to find a simple, easy to prepare recipe that pleases Vel Subek. [3.4.4.1.5] [1.P_VF2A] Maybe I should open a boutique, or a little shop where people could come to have a cup of tea and vegetable cakes… [3.4.4.1.7] [1.P_VF2A] These Sandsquashes have to be carefully minced to get all the flavor out of them! [3.4.4.2.1] [1.P_VF2A] The merthweed leaves have to be very dry to make a good cup of tea, don't they? I'll try to remember that. [3.4.4.2.2] [1.P_VF2A] What do you expect me to do with these leaves? Those are weeds! [3.4.4.2.3] [1.P_VF2A] I'm going to stock up on them... I'll dry them out little by little. [3.4.4.2.5] [1.P_VF2A] I can't cook anything with these leaves! [3.4.4.3.1] [1.P_VF2A] You think merthweed is just a weed, but you're wrong! [3.4.4.3.2] [1.P_VF2A] Why are you showing me these dried merthweed leaves? I can't do anything with them! [3.4.4.3.3] [1.P_VF2A] So... the secret is to dry the leaves… [3.4.4.3.5] [1.P_VF2A] Even if you dry them, they're still weeds! [3.4.4.4.1] [1.P_HVI] There's nothing like a tea kettle to make you feel right at home! [3.4.4.4.3] [1.P_HVI] That's a miracle! I thought this world was primitive, but there's a kettle... The most civilized object I can think of! [3.4.4.5.1] [1.P_VF2A] If you have a nautilus, you must be a Shekandar. [3.4.4.5.2] [1.P_VF2A] They say that nautiluses influence a man's destiny... [3.4.4.6.1] [1.P_VF2A] Black Salt is disgusting! I don't know how the Shekandars can eat it! [3.4.4.6.2] [1.P_VF2A] They say that Black Salt comes from mines in the Monastery... I don't believe it. [3.4.4.7.1] [1.P_VF2A] We put the seal in a coffer under lock and key. It mustn't get into the wrong hands. [3.4.4.7.2] [1.P_VF2A] To open the coffer, you need a second key. [3.4.4.7.3] [1.P_VF2A] Only the Hierarch's seal will get you into the Memory Sanctuary. [3.4.4.7.5] [1.P_VF2A] The seal is in the coffer. But you need both keys. [3.4.4.8.1] [1.P_HVI] It looks like the crystal nautilus doesn't agree. My attack didn't work! [3.4.4.9.1] [1.P_VF2A] I have to keep cooking... [3.4.4.9.2] [1.P_VF2A] I'm going back to work. [3.4.4.10.1] [1.P_HVI] Hmm... this coffer is closed. [3.4.4.10.2] [1.P_HVI] It's locked. I can't open it. [3.4.5.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I'm going to boil some fresh leaves... I wonder if that will work. [3.4.5.1.2] [1.P_HVI] Taste this! [3.4.5.1.3] [1.P_VF2A] It's awful! [3.4.5.2.1] [1.P_HVI] Dried leaves and boiling water should produce an excellent cup of tea... [3.4.5.2.2] [1.P_HVI] There! [3.4.5.2.3] [1.P_VF2A] Yechhh. It's not that bad, but it's awfully bitter! [3.4.5.3.1] [1.P_HVI] The main points are to wait until the water boils, and put the cactus heart in... [3.4.5.3.2] [1.P_HVI] Drink this and you'll get a taste of England! [3.4.5.3.3] [1.P_VF2A] Augghhh! It's terrible! It's disgustingly sweet! [3.4.5.4.1] [1.P_HVI] I forgot the most important thing... [3.4.5.4.2] [1.P_HVI] Taste... it should be good… [3.4.5.4.3] [1.P_VF2A] It's delicious! Vel Subek will love it! Such a simple recipe for something so good! The master will surely want to know more. Go see him! Here - take this key. In order to meet Vel Subek, you need the Hierarch's seal which I've locked in a coffer. But to open it, you'll have to get the other key from Ataimah. [3.4.5.5.1] [1.P_HVI] The tea is very good like this - no need to add more. [3.4.6.1.1] [1.P_VF2B] My back is much better thanks to you. I am Ataimah. I serve Vel Subek; that is I clean the instruments he uses in his work... He's so careless with them! They got so dirty I couldn't get them clean. That's why he made this machine... if only it hadn't broken down! [3.4.6.1.2] [1.P_VF2B] I don't want to be disturbed... I have a lot of work to do, and my back hurts! [3.4.6.1.3] [1.P_HVI] Tell me a little about Vel Subek's machine... [3.4.6.1.3] [2.P_VF2B] Vel Subek invented this machine which washes things with water and sand. It's much more efficient than washing by hand! But it makes an incredible amount of noise! That's why it was moved out of the Sanctuary. [3.4.6.1.4] [1.P_VF2B] Leave me alone! My back is killing me! [3.4.6.1.5] [1.P_VF2B] It's just my luck that this stupid machine broke down! I've asked Vel Subek to fix it, but he's so busy! [3.4.6.1.6] [1.P_VF2B] I think I'd even de-harmonize someone if it would make my back better! [3.4.6.1.7] [1.P_VF2B] I would do anything if someone could repair this machine for me... [3.4.6.1.9] [1.P_VF2B] OHH This aching back is never going to get better! Never! [3.4.6.2.1] [1.P_VF2B] You are my hero! My machine is fixed, and my back doesn't hurt anymore! What talent! I'm sure Vel Subek would want to meet you! [3.4.6.2.1] [2.P_HVI] Well, that's just the point... I would like to talk to him! [3.4.6.2.1] [3.P_VF2B] Take this key! If you can get Hamiata's key, she's a friend who also works for the master, you can open our coffer and take the Hierarch's seal from it. Without that seal, you cannot get into the Memory Sanctuary! [3.4.6.2.2] [1.P_VF2B] Well, it's obviously easier to repair a machine than a bad back! OWW! Life is too hard… [3.4.6.2.2] [2.P_HVI] Maybe you can help me... I have to meet Vel Subek… [3.4.6.2.2] [3.P_VF2B] It's got to go! It's got to! This backache has got to go! I mean... It's not your fault after all. Take this key. In order to meet Vel Subek, you need the Hierarch's seal. Go to my friend Hamiata. She has the coffer with the seal in it. You'll need a second key to open it... you'll have to find a way to get that key… [3.4.6.2.3] [1.P_VF2B] I must warn you: Vel Subek hates noise... There's a stepladder that has squeaky wheels. If you move it without oiling the wheels, Vel Subek will not be happy. Not happy at all! [3.4.6.2.4] [1.P_VF2B] I can't give you any more help! [3.4.6.2.5] [1.P_VF2B] Good Luck! And don't forget to oil the wheels! [3.4.6.2.7] [1.P_VF2B] God speed! [3.4.6.3.1] [1.P_VF2B] Oh My God! Praise be to Khronos! Some Vissahid ointment! The best remedy for back pain! You are my hero! [3.4.6.4.1] [1.P_VF2B] A nautilus? You must be somebody important! [3.4.6.4.2] [1.P_VF2B] That's very interesting, but it can't help me! [3.4.6.4.3] [1.P_VF2B] If I were you, I would take special care of it. [3.4.6.4.5] [1.P_VF2B] Let me suffer alone! [3.4.6.5.1] [1.P_VF2B] This is one of the two keys that will open the coffer with the seal in it. Hamiata and I guard it with our lives. [3.4.6.5.2] [1.P_VF2B] Leave me alone! I can see you've never had a backache! [3.4.6.5.3] [1.P_VF2B] The coffer is in Hamiata's house... [3.4.6.5.5] [1.P_VF2B] Do you think this key will make my back better? [3.4.6.6.1] [1.P_VF2B] I believe that belongs to Vel Subek... He used it on the sand machine. [3.4.6.6.2] [1.P_VF2B] Don't look at me like that with that key in your hand... You're scaring me! [3.4.6.6.3] [1.P_VF2B] I don't know how to use a wrench! [3.4.6.6.5] [1.P_VF2B] Leave me alone! [3.4.6.8.1] [1.P_VF2B] You have already done a lot for me. Keep your things. [3.4.6.8.2] [1.P_VF2B] Wrap that up! I don't want it! [3.4.6.8.3] [1.P_VF2B] I don't want any presents... [3.4.6.8.5] [1.P_VF2B] Will you leave me alone!? [3.4.7.8.1] [1.P_HVI] No! I might get burned! [3.4.7.8.2] [1.P_HVI] The pressure's too strong. [3.4.7.9.1] [1.P_HVI] No. That's not necessary. [3.4.7.9.2] [1.P_HVI] I must find the right place to use this key. [3.4.7.10.2] [1.P_HVI] I'd better do this on the pipes. [3.5.2.1.1] [1.P_GARC] You have a seal from the Hierarch, Vissahid? You must be somebody important. [3.5.2.1.2] [1.P_GARC] The Hierarch doesn't give his seal to just anyone… [3.5.3.1.1] [1.P_GARD] So you have a seal. So what? [3.5.3.1.2] [1.P_GARD] I don't want to waste my time. Even with someone who has the Hierarch's seal. [3.5.6.1.1] [1.P_GARE] You have the Hierarch's seal... Hmm... I don't usually do this sort of thing, but you did me a favor, so I will open the red door for you. [3.5.6.1.2] [1.P_GARE] You may have the Hierarch's seal, but that's not enough. It's the custom to pay a fee to the guard on the door, and this custom must be respected. But I'm a reasonable man - one bottle of ashfire will suffice… [3.5.6.1.2] [2.P_HVI] I don't have a bottle of ashfire... But I do know that a certain Najazir recently stole some... [3.5.6.1.2] [3.P_GARE] By Khronos! So that's who stole my bottles! He didn't waste any time! All right, Vissahid, I'll let you in. [3.5.6.1.3] [1.P_GARE] You have the Hierarch's seal... Very good. But the custom is to give a little present to the guard at the entrance to the Memory Sanctuary… [3.5.6.1.4] [1.P_GARE] Now then, where's my present? [3.5.6.2.1] [1.P_GARE] All right... If you give me that item, I'll open the red door. [3.5.6.6.1] [1.P_GARE] No... I can't let you through... Don't you have anything else? [3.5.6.6.2] [1.P_GARE] A present should be valuable... Try something else. [3.5.6.8.1] [1.P_GARE] I wouldn't have let you through if you hadn't had the seal. [3.5.6.8.2] [1.P_GARE] The seal opens the door, Generosity does the rest. [3.5.7.1.1] [1.P_GARF] You should show that to another guard. I don't watch over the red doors... [3.5.7.1.2] [1.P_GARF] It's the Hierarch's seal. So what? [3.5.10.1.1] [1.P_SHCD] Don't touch that gem... it's for your own good. [3.5.10.1.2] [1.P_SHCD] I'm telling you... That's a warning… [3.5.10.1.3] [1.P_SHCD] You asked for it! [3.5.13.1.1] [1.P_GARH] The Hierarch's seal will help you open the doors to the Memory Sanctuary, but here it's worthless. [3.5.13.1.2] [1.P_GARH] Show that to the guards on the red doors... [3.5.14.1.1] [1.P_GARI] The Hierarch's seal doesn't open every door, Vissahid. [3.5.14.1.2] [1.P_GARI] It seems the Hierarch's giving his seal away to anyone these days… [3.5.16.1.1] [1.P_HVI] The Hierarch's seal helps to open many doors… [3.5.24.1.1] [1.P_GARJ] The Hierarch gave you his seal to open the doors of the Memory Sanctuary, not the prison. [3.5.24.1.2] [1.P_GARJ] That seal won't help you to get into the prison. [3.5.25.1.1] [1.P_GARB] That seal is useless inside the prison. [3.5.25.1.2] [1.P_GARB] Don't push it, Vissahid! [3.5.29.1.1] [1.P_VF2B] Do you have the seal? Good for you! You deserve it! [3.5.29.1.2] [1.P_VF2B] So: you have the Hierarch's seal. So what? [3.5.29.1.3] [1.P_VF2B] Make good use of it. [3.5.29.1.5] [1.P_VF2B] You have a seal, and my back hurts. It must be the Divine Order of things. [3.5.30.1.1] [1.P_VF2A] I wish you luck. This seal guarantees that you will meet the master Shekandar. [3.5.30.1.2] [1.P_VF2A] Don't tell Vel Subek about the tea. I want to surprise him… [3.5.31.1.1] [1.P_GARG] What? You again? I know you have the seal... Go on through! [3.5.31.1.2] [1.P_GARG] You can't get through without the seal. Do you have one? Show it to me! [3.5.31.1.3] [1.P_GARG] You can go on through, you know... Are you deaf, or what? [3.5.31.1.5] [1.P_GARG] And the seal? Do you have it? [3.5.31.2.1] [1.P_GARG] Ah, yes, I see the seal. You have a seal... Go on in… [3.5.31.3.1] [1.P_GARG] I can't hear what you're saying... I'm a little hard of hearing... [3.5.31.3.1] [2.P_HVI] But... I didn't say anything! [3.5.31.3.1] [3.P_GARG] Ah, for that, go and see the priests! Only they know the secrets of the Sand God! [3.5.31.3.2] [1.P_GARG] My back? What about my back? What are you talking about? Ah... Vel Subek? Yes, he's in the Sanctuary. Where else would he be? [3.5.31.3.3] [1.P_GARG] Vel Subek's machines have made me a little hard of hearing... but, I'm not deaf, you know… [3.5.31.4.1] [1.P_GARG] Yes, that's the Hierarch's seal... If you're here, you must have it, don't you? [3.5.31.4.2] [1.P_GARG] No. I don't need it. I'm the guardian of the Sanctuary. I can open the red doors. [3.5.31.5.1] [1.P_GARG] Oh! A nautilus! You must be someone important. [3.5.31.5.2] [1.P_GARG] People think I'm deaf... but I'm not, you know. What? No, I'm not thirsty, thank you. [3.5.31.6.1] [1.P_GARG] A black Salt gem... The ashes of Khronos. You're lucky to have some... [3.5.31.6.2] [1.P_GARG] What? Oh sorry, I thought you said something... [3.5.31.7.1] [1.P_GARG] Why are you showing me that? I don't have anything to trade! [3.5.31.7.2] [1.P_GARG] It's useless to insist - I'm incorruptible. [3.5.31.8.1] [1.P_GARG] ALERT!! Does anybody hear me? ALEEEERT! [3.5.31.9.1] [1.P_GARG] I... What? Did somebody say something? No... I thought… [3.5.31.9.2] [1.P_GARG] What's that noise? I thought I heard something… [3.5.31.10.1] [1.P_GARG] I'm coming! I'm coming! [3.5.31.11.1] [1.P_GARG] There! I'm opening the door! [3.5.33.3.1] [1.P_HVI] The Great Desert is vast and inhospitable... It's the land of the Lemurs - these specters who are greedy for the Sand of Man. No subject of Khronos would dare to stay there. [3.5.33.3.1] [2.P_HVI] Sometimes the sacred guards come upon Sandmen who have lost their memory wandering through the desert. These are the Outcasts. They are taken back to the city where the priests restore their past and soothe their souls. [3.5.33.4.1] [1.P_HVI] According to the sacred principles, the soul of man is the exact same shape as an upside down pyramid. Each side represents one of the spiritual states of the Sandpeople. [3.5.33.4.1] [2.P_HVI] The first side is Adhamid, the guardian, The second is the sage: the Vissahid. The third is Effahid, those who play. The last side, which dominates the others is the Shekandar, the Chosen of Khronos. [3.5.33.4.1] [3.P_HVI] The Pyramid of Ashes revolves in the Wave's furious winds, and only the Shekandar can resist the force of the Breath of the Sand God. [3.5.33.5.1] [1.P_HVI] King Ulmoreth had but one wish: to contemplate the changing reflections on the Sea of Eternity. He left the city and discovered a coral arch in the desert; an enchanted door leading to divine shores. Ulmoreth crossed Crumbling rock Pass and didn't fall prey to its perils. Then he found himself before the motionless waters of the Sea of Eternity. [3.5.33.5.1] [2.P_HVI] But the king wasn't alone: swimming among the still waters were the Mermaids of Time, guardians of the Universal Ocean. Their song swept through Ulmoreth's soul as he bleakly contemplated his end. One of the Mermaids took pity on Ulmoreth and gave him a priceless gift: the gift of memory which he could then give to the Sandpeople. [3.5.33.5.1] [3.P_HVI] The King came back safe and sound to the city. But his soul was shattered. He fell into a state of melancholy desiring only one thing: to return to the Sea of Eternity and swim with the Mermaid of Time. [3.5.33.6.1] [1.P_HVI] Lemurs are dangerous creatures. The only ones who don't fear their evil powers are the Lords of the Wave. In fact, the Chronomancers can even obtain magic formulas from them which they then keep in prisms made from the purest quartz. [3.5.33.6.1] [2.P_HVI] Lemurs seem to be fascinated by crystals, and their caverns are illuminated by an abundance of these glowing stones. However, they are frightened by pure quartz because it can weaken their powers. [3.5.33.8.1] [1.P_VEL] Oh, no. I can not bear noise while I'm working! [3.5.33.8.2] [1.P_VEL] I can't stand it! [3.5.33.9.1] [1.P_HVI] It's useless to put more in. [3.5.33.11.1] [1.P_HVI] These clocks make a regular buzz... It sounds as though they're echoing a far off rhythm. [3.5.33.11.2] [1.P_HVI] Strange clocks in a strange world. [3.5.33.12.1] [1.P_HVI] That's odd. I see a luminous blur... [3.5.33.13.1] [1.P_HVI] It seems that the mechanism is locked. [3.6.1.1.1] [1.P_HVI] I'm... I'm not sure I believe that Khronos exists. What if it's just a myth? All my efforts would have been in vain! [3.6.1.1.1] [2.P_VEL] I have observed the texture of Time. A very powerful will weaves its structure and protects it from being decomposed by the Void. Why not name this force Khronos? I am sure he exists. It cannot be otherwise. [3.6.1.1.2] [1.P_VEL] I have no time for you! [3.6.1.1.3] [1.P_HVI] Can one meet the former King Ulmoreth? [3.6.1.1.3] [2.P_VEL] He disappeared a long time ago... There were rumors that Khronos de-harmonized him, and that he never reappeared. According to the priests, he offended the Sand God. [3.6.1.1.4] [1.P_VEL] I told you I was busy! My work demands my undivided attention! [3.6.1.1.5] [1.P_VEL] Ulmoreth was a great King. I don't think the Sand God is responsible for his disappearance. I think the Hierarch Harmikail knows the truth about all this. His brilliant sermons hide sinister lies. [3.6.1.1.6] [1.P_HVI] What are you working on? [3.6.1.1.6] [2.P_VEL] I have modified a Chronomantic sphere in order to study the folds of Time. I thought that Time was the same shape as an arrow. A perfectly straight line from the past... projected towards the future. [3.6.1.1.6] [3.P_HVI] That's my opinion too. [3.6.1.1.6] [4.P_VEL] Big Mistake! Thanks to my chronoscope, I discovered that time is the shape of a vortex. A kind of cyclone with an immense force at its center... the Heart of the vortex. This heart seems to attract all of the temporal currents. [3.6.1.1.6] [5.P_HVI] Time would be a kind of moving spiral directed towards its own center - which I find a bit worrying. Anomalies would surely be produced if the past and the future met... My machine must have disappeared because of this vortex… [3.6.1.1.7] [1.P_VEL] I must continue my observations. Good Luck, voyager. May Khronos guide you to Him. [3.6.1.2.1] [1.P_VEL] Who are you, then? I've never seen you here... You are not a Sandman! [3.6.1.2.1] [2.P_HVI] My name is Wells... Herbert George Wells. I came from the past, thanks to a Time machine, but the machine disappeared when I arrived in the city. I got transformed by the power of the Wave, and I don't see how I can get home. I know this story seems incredible, but it is true. [3.6.1.2.1] [3.P_VEL] Hmm... It does sound a bit confusing, but fascinating as well. You seem quite sincere. I'd like to help you. I can't do anything about your appearance, though. The Shekandars claim high and low that they can control the Wave, but it's not the case. They can not control Time! If you want to go home, you must meet Khronos. He is the only one who can help you. [3.6.1.2.1] [4.P_HVI] Meet Khronos? Khronos is a God! No one can approach the domain of the Gods! [3.6.1.2.1] [5.P_VEL] Ah, but you are wrong. The sacred scrolls reveal many secrets. They tell of how the former king Ulmoreth, found the gates to the domain of Khronos... the Gates of Eternity. Ulmoreth opened a passage - a magic arch - which leads to these gates. They say that this arch still stands somewhere in the depths of the desert. [3.6.1.2.1] [6.P_HVI] In the desert? But the desert is immense! Don't you have any specific indications? [3.6.1.2.1] [7.P_VEL] I'm afraid not... But you have Jad Garrûl. There is a spell which awakens the power of the arch leading to the Gates of Eternity. It could be useful to you. [3.6.1.2.1] [8.P_HVI] I don't have any choice... I have to find the Arch and go through the Gates of Eternity to meet the God of Time! I feel like I'm dreaming... that I'll wake up and none of this will have happened. [3.6.1.2.1] [9.P_VEL] The time of dreams is different. It leaves no trace on the Sand. [3.6.1.5.1] [1.P_VEL] The Sandpeople believe that nautiluses are reserved for the Chosen. But that is just superstition! Which is carefully nurtured by the Shekandars... The monks don't want the Sandpeople to keep their memories! [3.6.1.5.2] [1.P_VEL] Your nautilus is... special. It has a crystal chip in it. This stone emits a vibration... which seems to be in tune with your Jad Garrûl. Very strange… [3.6.1.5.3] [1.P_VEL] This nautilus will be precious to you. It will guide you well. [3.6.1.6.1] [1.P_VEL] Because of all the Shekandars who live there, the monastery gives off powerful amounts of Chronomantic energy. The compass picks up this energy. [3.6.1.6.3] [1.P_VEL] The Shekandars make these compasses so that the Chosen can find their way through the Great Desert. [3.6.1.7.1] [1.P_VEL] This oilcan is used for oiling machines. [3.6.1.8.1] [1.P_VEL] An illusion of the Shell of Time... The Shells of time restore Jad Garrûl. But they're very rare... and avidly sought after by the Chronomancers. [3.6.1.8.3] [1.P_VEL] Shells of Time are found near the shores of the Sea of Eternity. Very few have gone there… [3.6.1.9.1] [1.P_VEL] The tuning fork offers a protection similar to a light Chronomantic mask. [3.6.1.9.3] [1.P_VEL] The tuning fork can be useful when you run out of Jad Garrûl. [3.6.1.10.1] [1.P_VEL] Some Effahids can charm Lemurs with this flute. [3.6.1.10.3] [1.P_VEL] When they're under the influence of this flute, the Lemurs aren't aggressive. [3.6.1.11.1] [1.P_VEL] Hm... Black Salt... it reinforces Jad Garrûl. It also helps Sandpeople resist the Wave. [3.6.1.11.1] [2.P_HVI] I feel like the Salt isn't protecting me from the Wave. [3.6.1.11.1] [3.P_VEL] You are not a Sandman… nor a Shekandar. Your Jad Garrûl is powerful. It's consuming all the Black Salt you absorb... leaving you defenseless in the face of the breath of Khronos. [3.6.1.11.1] [4.P_HVI] Luckily I have the nautilus... It allows me to keep my memory. [3.6.1.11.3] [1.P_VEL] What would become of the Shekandars without Black Salt? [3.6.1.12.1] [1.P_VEL] A Sandman's body is made of sand; sand unites the soul of Ashes with the material world... Magic can alter this bond. Sand Globes can thus reconstruct that which has been undone. [3.6.1.12.3] [1.P_VEL] Some think that aside from the alcohol in ashfire, Sand Globes are the greatest invention of man. That is one way of looking at it... with which I do not agree. [3.6.1.13.1] [1.P_VEL] Ah, sand herbs... taking them strengthens the bond with Khronos. Sand is in everything. [3.6.1.13.3] [1.P_VEL] This is how Nature is formed: even the smallest plant holds the heart of the Sand god. [3.6.1.14.1] [1.P_VEL] I am perfectly familiar with hourglasses. I invented them... They are powerful magical objects when they're charged by Chronomantic clocks. If not, they're useless... even though there are those who think they bring good luck. [3.6.1.14.3] [1.P_VEL] I spent more time on this invention than on any other. [3.6.1.15.1] [1.P_VEL] Hourglasses of Ashes offer two possibilities when they're full: You can use them on yourself to permanently strengthen your Sand and your Jad Garrûl . And I also discovered that the Lemurs are fascinated by a full hourglass' energy. If you give one to them, they will teach you a Chronomantic spell. [3.6.1.15.3] [1.P_VEL] You can choose between strengthening your capacities, or enlarging your possibilities. It is a choice, and every choice implies a loss... [3.6.1.16.1] [1.P_VEL] That is Hierarch Harmikail's seal. I don't think he'd appreciate my opinions - especially on subjects such as the freedom of the Sandpeople... he prefers that I don't see many people: my ideas might influence and spread… [3.6.1.16.3] [1.P_VEL] The seal's purpose is to reduce the number of visitors... but I don't mind. For a long time, I've been looking for a way to work in peace without having people disturb me. The Hierarch solved this problem for me. [3.6.1.17.1] [1.P_VEL] This may help you on your journey. [3.6.1.17.2] [1.P_VEL] Man makes things to help him with his work. [3.7.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMD] You are a very strange visitor... You are not a Sand Bag. But you're not a Shekandar either. I hate that bunch. Especially the one who lives in the Sanctuary, that... Vel Subek. He's a brilliant Chronomancer, but I am far better than he. [3.7.1.1.2] [1.P_LEMD] It is Vel Subek who ought to be confined to the sphere. My power is greater than his, by far! It is HE who ought to be serving ME! [3.7.1.1.3] [1.P_LEMD] I know a lot of secrets... A lot of magic... a lot of things that Vel Subek would never guess! The ways of Khronos are obvious to me! [3.7.1.1.4] [1.P_LEMD] I have made my prison a place of knowledge... but are you worthy of it? [3.7.1.2.1] [1.P_LEMD] An Hourglass of Ashes drained of its energy? What do you take me for? [3.7.1.2.2] [1.P_LEMD] Keep this ridiculous talisman for the Sand Bags! [3.7.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMD] If you think you can buy my knowledge with such trinkets, you're mistaken. I am above the temptations of my kind… [3.7.1.3.2] [1.P_LEMD] Humph... the energy of this hourglass... reminds me of the rhythm of the Sea... but I will resist its call! [3.7.1.3.3] [1.P_LEMD] AHH!! I can't help it! I can't resist! Give me that hourglass, and I'll give you a powerful spell! [3.7.1.3.4] [1.P_LEMD] This hourglass for a Chronomantic spell! That's a fair trade… [3.7.1.4.1] [1.P_LEMD] This shell of Time is merely a artifice, an illusion. Can't you see that? [3.7.1.4.2] [1.P_LEMD] You don't expect me to fall for this pathetic illusion, do you? [3.7.1.5.1] [1.P_LEMD] What is this spell? It's as if this nautilus was talking to me... get it away from me! [3.7.1.5.3] [1.P_LEMD] Put this nautilus away... It's eclipsing my power. [3.7.1.6.1] [1.P_LEMD] That's useless. [3.7.1.6.2] [1.P_LEMD] You're annoying me. You're wasting your time... and mine. [3.7.1.7.1] [1.P_LEMD] Don't show this to a Lemur. He might usurp your body's Sand. But I am magnanimous. [3.7.1.7.2] [1.P_LEMD] The music this flute makes is disagreeable to my kind. I advise you to put it away. [3.7.1.7.3] [1.P_LEMD] I warned you. Don't provoke me. [3.7.1.8.1] [1.P_LEMD] Never joke with me again like that. I have no sense of humor. [3.7.1.8.2] [1.P_LEMD] I warned you - get out of here. [3.7.1.9.1] [1.P_LEMD] Don't confuse the tranquility of a tripodon with contemplative wisdom. [3.7.1.9.2] [1.P_LEMD] If you want to spend your time contemplating your miserable existence, do it outside of this sphere! [3.7.1.10.1] [1.P_LEMD] If you think you can get along without my advice, go ahead, apprentice! [3.7.1.10.2] [1.P_LEMD] If you ask me, I can help you to understand your spells better. I am an expert in that field. [3.7.1.11.1] [1.P_LEMD] Black Salt! These cursed Shekandars don't eat anything else! [3.7.1.11.2] [1.P_LEMD] An odious food for an odious bunch of Sand Bags! That's what Black Salt is! [3.7.1.12.1] [1.P_LEMD] This prism contains a powerful spell... which very few can use. [3.7.1.13.1] [1.P_LEMD] An apprentice who makes mistakes will be penalized by the Master! Your Sand and Jad Garrûl will diminish again if you do not show yourself to be worthy... This sanction for your incompetence is final. [3.7.1.13.2] [1.P_LEMD] Another mistake! Perhaps you're just not very good at this… [3.7.1.13.3] [1.P_LEMD] Can't you tell the real from the fake? Too bad, apprentice! [3.7.1.16.1] [1.P_LEMD] Here is some valuable information, apprentice: Some of these prisms are fake. If you touch one of them, the consequences will be both disastrous... and permanent! [3.7.1.17.1] [1.P_LEMD] Let's see if you are an accomplished Effahid! [3.7.1.17.2] [1.P_LEMD] Be quick and precise, apprentice! [3.7.1.17.3] [1.P_LEMD] Concentrate... and react! [3.7.1.17.4] [1.P_LEMD] Good! Practicing is the only way to master the art of magic! [3.7.1.17.5] [1.P_LEMD] You still have far to go, apprentice! [3.7.1.17.6] [1.P_LEMD] Not bad. [3.7.1.17.7] [1.P_LEMD] Deplorable. [3.7.1.18.1] [1.P_LEMD] Let's see what your worth! Cast your spell! [3.7.1.18.2] [1.P_LEMD] Use your magic, apprentice! [3.7.1.18.3] [1.P_LEMD] Start practicing... [3.7.1.18.4] [1.P_LEMD] Good... but don't have too much faith in this spell. Some can see beyond appearances. [3.7.1.18.5] [1.P_LEMD] You understand the principle of this spell. [3.7.1.19.1] [1.P_LEMD] In order to teach you this spell, I shall have to be quite aggressive... [3.7.1.19.2] [1.P_LEMD] You have to suffer to learn... [3.7.1.19.3] [1.P_LEMD] It's up to you to prove you're stronger than your opponent! [3.7.1.19.4] [1.P_LEMD] Sand is a precious possession... you should know how to preserve it! [3.7.1.19.5] [1.P_LEMD] Hang on to your sand, or you'll be de-harmonized! [3.7.1.20.1] [1.P_LEMD] Cast your spell on that fool! [3.7.1.20.2] [1.P_LEMD] Vel Subek is happy to participate in your training! [3.7.1.20.3] [1.P_LEMD] Be quick, and let's GO! [3.7.1.20.4] [1.P_LEMD] Effective, no? It's up to you to use this spell to your advantage! [3.7.1.20.5] [1.P_LEMD] You disappoint me, apprentice... [3.7.1.20.6] [1.P_LEMD] When I get bored, I make one of these Sand bags appear. And then I practice... [3.7.1.20.7] [1.P_LEMD] I feel like I'm wasting my time… [3.7.1.21.5] [1.P_LEMD] Good! A Chronomancer should always defend himself before attacking! [3.7.1.21.7] [1.P_LEMD] You defend yourself well. That's important. [3.7.1.22.4] [1.P_LEMD] The Counterspell is the best way to counter the spells that can't be instantly dissipated. [3.7.1.22.5] [1.P_LEMD] You must go faster! If you don't, you'll be de-harmonized! [3.7.1.22.6] [1.P_LEMD] You might be able to challenge a Chronomancer… [3.7.1.22.7] [1.P_LEMD] Faced with a Lemur, you wouldn't last a minute! [3.7.1.23.1] [1.P_LEMD] Priests are slow thinkers... and can be even slower! [3.7.1.23.4] [1.P_LEMD] Slowing down an adversary is half the battle! [3.7.1.23.5] [1.P_LEMD] You seem to be gifted for mediocrity! [3.7.1.23.6] [1.P_LEMD] Being victorious is often a question of how fast you act. [3.7.1.23.7] [1.P_LEMD] You are pathetic. [3.7.1.24.1] [1.P_LEMD] You must be able to discern between real and fake. Try! [3.7.1.24.2] [1.P_LEMD] Is this just an illusion? It's up to you! [3.7.1.24.4] [1.P_LEMD] The Eye of Jad Garrûl dissipates illusions... at least those created by Chronomancers. [3.7.1.24.5] [1.P_LEMD] He who wishes to see must open his eyes. [3.7.1.27.1] [1.P_LEMD] This spell creates a bond between the Chronomancer's Jad Garrûl and that of the target... which allows a part of it to be absorbed. Vel Subek will be our guinea pig. [3.7.1.28.1] [1.P_LEMD] The power of legendary arches can be awakened with this spell. Concentrate and learn. [3.7.1.28.2] [1.P_LEMD] Chronomantics can open many doors... You simply cast the spell. [3.7.1.28.3] [1.P_LEMD] Use your magic when you come to the Arch. [3.7.1.28.4] [1.P_LEMD] The voice of the Sea of Eternity... the key to many voyages. [3.7.1.28.5] [1.P_LEMD] The Arches will lead you to a place you have already visited, apprentice. [3.7.1.29.1] [1.P_LEMD] The Sail of the nautilus protects the Jad Garrûl. That is if you know how to use it... [3.7.1.29.2] [1.P_LEMD] Nothing can destroy the Sail... but you have to be quick about unfurling it! [3.7.1.29.3] [1.P_LEMD] The Chronomancers use this spell against Jad Garrûl thieves. [3.7.1.29.4] [1.P_LEMD] You will be defenseless without Jad Garrûl. [3.7.1.29.5] [1.P_LEMD] They say that the Sail helps one to resist the hypnotic singing of certain creatures... but perhaps it's only a legend. [3.7.1.29.6] [1.P_LEMD] You have lost, you are lost. [3.7.1.29.7] [1.P_LEMD] Protect your spirit and victory will be yours. [3.7.1.30.1] [1.P_LEMD] Cast this spell, and try to grab the Hourglass of Ashes... go! [3.7.1.30.4] [1.P_LEMD] Good! The body must be as quick as the mind! [3.7.1.30.6] [1.P_LEMD] This sensation... It is the Quickening! [3.7.1.31.1] [1.P_LEMD] The Countertime spell is a very powerful one: it cancels the effect of an enemy spell. See for yourself. [3.7.1.31.2] [1.P_LEMD] With the Countertime spell, you can catch Chronomancers who are too sure of themselves. Let's see how you use it. [3.7.1.31.3] [1.P_LEMD] That's a valuable power: to disperse the Chronomancer's spells! [3.7.1.31.4] [1.P_LEMD] You learn quickly. Perhaps you'll make a decent Chronomancer. [3.7.1.31.5] [1.P_LEMD] You are an apprentice. You don't appear to understand this spell. [3.7.1.31.6] [1.P_LEMD] Time can be twisted and used against its own effects. [3.7.1.31.7] [1.P_LEMD] I'm afraid there's little hope of teaching you anything. [3.8.1.1.1] [1.P_SHCE] No one can defy the Hierarch and go unpunished! Take him away! [4.1.1.1.1] [1.P_HIE] So, here's the famous Herbert Wells! The man who ridiculed the Sandpeople's hospitality, and betrayed the Shekandars. Tetradon will be pleased with this capture! [4.1.1.1.1] [2.P_HVI] You must be the Hierarch! I assure you - I'm simply a stranded traveler trying to get home, and I present no threat whatsoever to you! [4.1.1.1.1] [3.P_HIE] Really!? Well, my sacred guards don't agree! If it were up to me, I'd incarcerate you on the spot! But Vel Subek spoke in your favor. He thinks you could be useful to us. I will therefore suspend judgment until I consult with Tetradon. [4.1.1.1.1] [4.P_HVI] Can't we make some kind of arrangement? [4.1.1.1.1] [5.P_HIE] Lock him up with the Chief of the rebels! They'll share the same fate! [4.1.1.2.1] [1.P_HIE] Ah! The famous Herbert Wells! He doesn't look terribly dangerous to me! [4.1.1.2.1] [2.P_HVI] In that case, Perhaps you could let me go… [4.1.1.2.1] [3.P_HIE] You have gravely offended Tetradon, and defied my authority. I will have to make an example of you. You will be locked up - prisoner of the darkness for eternity. Take him away! [4.1.1.2.1] [4.P_HVI] NOOO! [4.2.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] If Harmikail sent you, I find his strategy quite mediocre. I won't talk, you Vissahid, lackey. You can tell your master... [4.2.1.1.1] [2.P_HVI] Madam, you misunderstand me. I am no one's lackey. As for the Hierarch, I have met thugs in London who have better manners than that sinister character. [4.2.1.1.1] [3.P_ASH] Hmm... you don't speak like a Sandman... Who are you? [4.2.1.1.1] [4.P_HVI] My name is Herbert George Wells. I am a traveler being held prisoner far from home. Do you have a name, Madam? I've noticed that many people here do not. [4.2.1.1.1] [5.P_ASH] My name is Ashamira. The rebels of the desert are my allies. [4.2.1.1.1] [6.P_HVI] You are the Chief of the Rebels! I'd never have imagined... well, I am old fashioned… [4.2.1.1.2] [1.P_HVI] You are one of the Hierarch's enemies. What cause are you fighting for? [4.2.1.1.2] [2.P_ASH] Harmikail is a tyrant... and a usurper. The real sovereign of the city is Ulmoreth, the musician king. The Sandpeople think that Ulmoreth was de-harmonized by Khronos. That's not true. It's the Hierarch who locked him up. [4.2.1.1.2] [3.P_HVI] Do you think he is still alive? [4.2.1.1.2] [4.P_ASH] He's immortal - like all of us. He's locked up somewhere in the city. But I will succeed in liberating him with the help of my comrades. [4.2.1.1.3] [1.P_HVI] The legend of Ulmoreth... Do you think it's true? Did he really find the Gates of Eternity? [4.2.1.1.3] [2.P_ASH] I'm sure of it. Ulmoreth was not the same man after his voyage. [4.2.1.1.3] [3.P_HVI] If only I could meet him... perhaps then I could find Khronos. [4.2.1.1.3] [4.P_ASH] Find Khronos! That's an excellent idea! That would solve all our problems! Why didn't I think of that sooner? [4.2.1.1.4] [1.P_HVI] We have to get out of here, but how? The guards took away my weapons. But I do still have Chronomantics… [4.2.1.1.4] [2.P_ASH] Ask Khronos to perform a miracle! [4.2.1.1.4] [3.P_HVI] Please, spare me your sarcasm, Madam. I will find a solution. [4.2.1.2.1] [1.P_ASH] Long ago, the nautilus was the symbol of the Sandpeople's king. But you're not a king. And I don't believe this shell has any special powers. [4.2.1.2.2] [1.P_ASH] This nautilus didn't protect you from the Hierarch's dungeons. [4.2.1.3.1] [1.P_ASH] That won't help you here. [4.2.1.5.1] [1.P_ASH] The sacred guards may be stupid, but not enough to leave the cell gates open. [4.2.1.5.2] [1.P_GARA2] Stay calm, Vissahid. [4.2.1.6.1] [1.P_ASH] Black Salt degrades the soul. Those who take it are Tetradon's lackeys. [4.2.1.6.2] [1.P_ASH] I don't want that for anything in the world. [4.2.1.7.1] [1.P_ASH] The musician king appreciates instruments. [4.3.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] The Hourglass! [4.3.1.1.2] [1.P_GARA2] By Khronos! Where... where is my Black Salt gem? [4.4.1.1.1] [1.P_EGR] This is our chance, Wells! [4.4.1.4.1] [1.P_HEN] You kept your memory in spite of the Wave! [4.4.1.4.1] [2.P_EGR] You did too, I see! We all have our little secrets... In the meantime, we have to get out of here! [4.4.1.4.3] [1.P_EGR] Wells, we don't have much time! [4.4.1.5.1] [1.P_EGR] Why are you waiting to open the gate? [4.4.1.5.3] [1.P_EGR] We can still use that! [4.4.1.6.1] [1.P_EGR] We must hurry! [4.4.1.8.1] [1.P_EGR] Watch out - the Salt has some bad side effects. [4.4.1.9.1] [1.P_EGR] That music... it reminds me of Ulmoreth. [4.4.1.10.1] [1.P_EGR] When Ulmoreth played the flute, he could perform miracles. But he was the King. [4.4.1.10.2] [1.P_EGR] That could be useful... later. [4.4.2.1.1] [1.P_GARA2] I just made it! A little longer, and the Wave would have carried me away! [4.4.2.2.1] [1.P_GARA2] Ash of Khronos! The prisoners have all escaped! [4.4.2.3.1] [1.P_GARA2] The key to the cells must have come off my belt... Luckily, the prisoners didn't take advantage of it! [4.4.2.3.2] [1.P_GARA2] I have some good news for you! The Hierarch has decided to welcome you for Eternity! Your journey ends here! [4.4.2.6.1] [1.P_GARA2] I don't believe it! Where did they go? [4.4.2.7.1] [1.P_GARA2] Open this gate immediately! Open it or I'll... Get me out of here! [4.4.2.8.1] [1.P_EGR] I didn't feel a thing! [4.4.2.8.2] [1.P_EGR] Ulmoreth protects me! [4.4.2.8.3] [1.P_EGR] The King is guiding my arm! [4.4.2.8.5] [1.P_EGR] Defend yourself, Wells! [4.4.2.10.1] [1.P_GARA2] Hey! Let me out! [4.5.1.2.1] [1.P_HEN] There's an inscription on the wall... “Marty, if you see this, you'll understand that I'm in the future. Everything got mixed up. Time seems to have gone crazy, Great Scott! Signed: Doc.” Could this be a message from another time traveler? [4.5.2.1.1] [1.P_GARJ] Set me free! I can help you get out of here! [4.5.2.1.2] [1.P_GARJ] Set me free! You won't regret it! [4.5.2.2.1] [1.P_GARJ] I only have one word... and it is the Hierarch's! [4.5.3.2.1] [1.P_EF2] Hide! [4.5.3.2.2] [1.P_EF2] The breath of Khronos... Why am I locked in here? I can't remember anything... [4.5.3.2.3] [1.P_EF2] Don't stay here! [4.5.3.2.5] [1.P_EF2] The tripodons... I take care of tripodons. [4.5.3.3.1] [1.P_EF2] I remember... a horrible machine... Someone set me free… [4.5.3.3.1] [2.P_HEN] I did! But they must have found you and locked you up here! Can you help us escape? [4.5.3.3.1] [3.P_EF2] You spared me a lot of suffering. I'll help you. Let me think... Yes! I have a plan! [4.5.3.3.1] [4.P_EGR] Tell us what shrewd idea you have. [4.5.3.3.1] [5.P_EF2] I'll ring an alarm bell to raise the gate and bring the guards around to my side. You hide in a cell, and go to the guard room when they've gone by. All right? [4.5.3.3.1] [6.P_HEN] That sounds like a good idea. [4.5.3.3.2] [1.P_EF2] I remember... The guards are on their way! You better hide! [4.5.3.4.1] [1.P_EF2] It's closed! [4.5.3.4.3] [1.P_EF2] They went that way! They forced me to help them! [4.5.3.4.4] [1.P_EF2] Go and hide! I can't do anything if you stay here! [4.5.3.5.1] [1.P_EF2] It's yours. Keep it. [4.5.3.5.3] [0.P_EF2] The Breath of the Sand God... it blows like the wind through my mind… [4.5.4.2.1] [1.P_GARA3] Inspect the cells! [4.5.4.2.3] [1.P_GARA1] Everything's normal, sergeant. [4.5.4.2.3] [2.P_GARA3] False alert. Go on back to the guard room. [4.5.5.6.1] [1.P_EGR] If you want the wrist jadgar, take it! [4.5.6.1.1] [1.P_SHCE] You won't get any further! [4.6.1.1.1] [1.P_GARA3] ALERT! The prisoners are escaping! [4.6.1.3.1] [1.P_HEN] The machine is de-activated! [4.6.2.1.1] [1.P_EGR] This way, Wells! [4.6.2.1.2] [1.P_EGR] You took a long time... were you detained? [4.6.2.2.1] [1.P_HEN] It won't do any good to put that further away! [4.7.2.3.1] [1.P_EGR] I'm going to maneuver the pulley. [4.7.3.1.1] [1.P_HEN] These two crates are tied together with a rope. [4.7.4.2.1] [1.P_HEN] It seems good like that. [4.7.5.3.1] [1.P_HEN] I'm going to break my neck! [4.7.6.5.1] [1.P_EGR] I'm lowering the counter-weight! [4.7.6.5.2] [1.P_HEN] I'm up too high! You have to lower the counter-weight more… [4.7.6.5.3] [1.P_HEN] It's not working... the counter-weight won't go down far enough! [4.7.6.6.1] [1.P_EGR] We're free! You did a great job, Wells. Do you want to be one of us? [4.7.6.6.1] [2.P_HEN] That's terribly kind of you, but I'm afraid I can't. I must go home, and in order to, I have to find Ulmoreth's Arch, so that I can get to the Gates of Eternity and meet Khronos... if he does indeed exist. [4.7.6.6.1] [3.P_EGR] So, you were serious when you spoke of Khronos. [4.7.6.6.1] [4.P_HEN] He is my only hope. [4.7.6.6.1] [5.P_EGR] You're a brave man, Wells. I can help you. I know where you can find Ulmoreth's Arch. [4.7.6.6.1] [6.P_HEN] Thank goodness! Can you take me to it? [4.7.6.6.1] [7.P_EGR] First we must go far into the desert to the rebel camp. We need a tripodon. [4.7.6.6.2] [1.P_EGR] Take back your weapon, I don't need it anymore. [4.8.1.1.1] [1.P_EGR] The journey across the Great Desert is long. At least if we have a tripodon, we can get away from its... inhabitants. [4.8.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Do you mean the spectres of the desert? The Lemurs? [4.8.1.1.1] [3.P_EGR] I despise those creatures. May they be cursed! [4.8.1.1.2] [1.P_EGR] I think the tripodon is thirsty. [4.8.1.1.3] [1.P_HEN] Do you trust me now? [4.8.1.1.3] [2.P_EGR] I know a valuable man when I meet one. Don't forget that I'm the Chief of the rebels! [4.8.1.1.4] [1.P_EGR] I think we should give the tripodon something to drink... [4.8.1.1.5] [1.P_EGR] We can't slow down, Wells. The sacred guards might be coming after us. [4.8.1.1.6] [1.P_EGR] We have to get to the rebel camp! [4.8.1.2.1] [1.P_EGR] Perhaps the nautilus brought us luck after all… [4.8.1.3.1] [1.P_EGR] Wells, we have to hurry! [4.8.1.4.1] [1.P_EGR] If you try to travel by foot, you won't get far! [4.8.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] You don't seem to be in very good shape, Willoughby! [5.1.1.1.1] [1.P_EGR] You're safe here. The Shekandars don't know the location of our camp. [5.1.1.1.1] [2.P_HEN] I don't want to overstay my welcome... [5.1.1.1.1] [3.P_EGR] The Arch of Ulmoreth is inside a tent near the enclosure. I'll meet you there later: I have to speak to my Lieutenant. [5.1.2.1.1] [1.P_HG2B] Effahid, I thank you for having helped our Chief, Ashamira. We are lost without her. I hope you will be with us to fight the Hierarch. [5.1.2.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Oh dear... I'm afraid I don't have enough time for that… [5.1.2.2.1] [1.P_HEN] Tell me, are there a lot of you in the camp? [5.1.2.2.1] [2.P_HG2B] Just a handful. But thanks to Ashamira we are sure to win and the Sandpeople will be free! [5.1.2.2.2] [1.P_HG2B] I hear that you too are looking for Ulmoreth... [5.1.2.2.2] [2.P_HEN] Let's say I'm tracking him down... Did you know the king? [5.1.2.2.2] [3.P_HG2B] I must have, but I don't remember. My memory goes with the rhythm of the Wave. Our chief Ashamira remembers Ulmoreth - she has the gift of memory. We'll follow her to the end, and free the musician king. [5.1.2.2.3] [1.P_HG2B] Excuse me Effahid, but I have to take care of my tripodons. I wish you good luck on your quest. [5.1.2.3.1] [1.P_HG2B] It a honey-cactus heart! Tripodons love them... but I have a much better use for them: make ashfire! [5.1.2.3.1] [2.P_HEN] Ash what?? [5.1.2.3.1] [3.P_HG2B] Ashfire! It wets your whistle, and puts punch into your work! Here have a sip! [5.1.2.3.1] [4.P_HEN] A scientist owes it to himself to experience every discovery... [5.1.2.3.2] [1.P_HEN] My, that's not bad at all! A bit strong, perhaps... Hic! [5.1.2.3.3] [1.P_HG2B] A little sip of ashfire? I love it! [5.1.2.3.5] [1.P_HEN] Ha! I think Filby would appreciate this pick-me-up! [5.1.2.3.7] [1.P_HEN] Woah! My head's spinning! Maybe I shouldn't have… [5.1.2.3.9] [1.P_HEN] Look out! The player may have trouble driving since the hero's been drinking… [5.1.2.4.1] [1.P_HG2B] Hey! That's a Sounding stick! Who gave it to you? [5.1.2.4.1] [2.P_HEN] Dahjaroun. [5.1.2.4.1] [3.P_HG2B] He must think very highly of you. He may be grouchy, but he's straight as an arrow... like his stick! [5.1.2.4.2] [1.P_HG2B] Dahjaroun has honored you with this gift. [5.1.2.5.1] [1.P_HG2B] It could still be useful to you. [5.1.2.6.1] [1.P_HG2B] The Black Salt gives us back our memory. But Ashamira says it's bad to take it too often. [5.1.2.6.2] [1.P_HG2B] Don't show that to Ashamira - it'll put her in a bad mood. [5.1.2.7.1] [1.P_HG2B] Hey - I need that! Leave it where it is! [5.1.2.7.2] [1.P_HG2B] I'm not through using that! Don't touch it! [5.1.3.1.1] [1.P_EGR] ...he can keep his memories! He will make a precious ally, Dahjaroun. [5.1.3.1.1] [2.P_HSG] Be Careful! This could be a Shekandar trap! [5.1.3.1.1] [3.P_EGR] He wants to go through the Arch. [5.1.3.1.1] [4.P_HSG] All the more reason not to trust him! Tetradon would give anything to know where the Arch is. [5.1.3.1.1] [5.P_EGR] Trust me. I think he's sincere. [5.1.3.1.1] [6.P_HSG] It's up to you, Ashamira. [5.1.3.2.1] [1.P_EGR] Wells! We were just talking about you.This is Dahjaroun, my Lieutenant. Like the rest of us, he has sworn to put an end to Harmikail's tyranny. [5.1.3.2.1] [2.P_HEN] How do you do. [5.1.3.2.1] [3.P_EGR] I must go - I have things to do. [5.1.3.3.1] [1.P_HEN] Dahjaroun, I just want to go through the Arch so that I can go home! I won't betray you! [5.1.3.3.1] [2.P_HSG] Life has taught me to be suspicious. All the same I wish you luck... Take this: it's a Sounding stick. It'll help you undo certain traps in the desert. Ulmoreth carried one when he went through the Arch. [5.1.3.3.2] [1.P_HSG] I have no time for you. I have to attend to these weapons. As Ashamira's Lieutenant, I have to make sure that everything in the camp is functioning perfectly. [5.1.3.3.2] [2.P_HEN] You don't seem to appreciate me very much even though I helped your chief to escape! [5.1.3.3.2] [3.P_HSG] I am not a gullible peasant... I am Dahjaroun, and you'll have to do more than one good deed to impress me! [5.1.3.3.3] [1.P_HEN] Ashamira can keep her memories... do you have this power too? [5.1.3.3.3] [2.P_HSG] You're awfully curious... No, I didn't get the gift of memory. I resist the Wave thanks to the Black Salt... thanks to rare gems that we steal from the priests in the city. The Salt helps me to assist my Chief, Ashamira more effectively... even if she doesn't approve of my taking it. [5.1.3.3.3] [3.P_HEN] Why is that? [5.1.3.3.3] [4.P_HSG] She insists that the Salt degrades the spirit... She doesn't fear the transformations caused by the Breath of Khronos. In fact, she fears nothing and no one. [5.1.3.3.4] [1.P_HEN] Ashamira is highly respected... she's quite exceptional! [5.1.3.3.4] [2.P_HSG] Her enemies know that and fear her... The lackeys of Tetradon - and the Hierarch - have tried many times to get rid of her. The Shekandars even locked her in their detestable mine! But she got away... with her as our Chief, we are invincible! [5.1.3.3.5] [1.P_HSG] We have a battle to fight. You must go your own way. [5.1.3.3.7] [1.P_HSG] Leave me alone. I'm busy. [5.1.3.4.1] [1.P_HSG] What did you do? By the Faith of Dahjaroun, if you damaged that weapon… [5.1.3.4.1] [2.P_HEN] I simply re-charged this wrist jadgar. It will certainly be more useful to you now. [5.1.3.4.1] [3.P_HSG] Humph. I suppose I should thank you. [5.1.3.5.1] [1.P_HSG] You'll need this more than I will. There are many traps hidden in the desert... this stick can help you avoid a few. [5.1.3.5.2] [1.P_HSG] You may keep it. [5.1.3.6.1] [1.P_HSG] The Black Salt is precious. Avoid showing off these riches... especially in front of Ashamira. [5.1.3.6.2] [1.P_HSG] I have everything I need. Keep your Salt. [5.1.3.7.1] [1.P_HSG] The Effahids collect all sorts of objects. [5.1.3.7.2] [1.P_HSG] I'm not interested in trading. [5.1.3.8.1] [1.P_EGR] I'm going in the Arch's tent. If you want to come with me... [5.1.3.8.2] [1.P_EGR] You're free to go wherever you like. [5.1.3.9.1] [1.P_HSG] Something isn't working... [5.1.3.9.2] [1.P_HSG] This weapon should be repaired. [5.1.3.9.3] [1.P_HSG] It needs some more adjustments... [5.1.4.1.1] [1.P_EFG] Ashamira is back! She must have had news of the king! I hope we're able to set him free soon! [5.1.4.1.1] [2.P_HG2A1] Khronos hears you, my friend. May the God of Time help us in our struggle... [5.1.4.2.1] [1.P_HEN] You must be brave to oppose the Hierarch... How do you resist the effects of the Wave? [5.1.4.2.1] [2.P_HG2A1] We have the Water of Khronos. Ashamira and Dahjaroun let us drink the sacred water and our memories are restored. As Lieutenant to Ashamira, Dahjaroun takes Black Salt in order to lead us while she is away. [5.1.4.2.2] [1.P_HEN] There don't seem to be many of you in the camp... Aren't you afraid of the Shekandars? [5.1.4.2.2] [2.P_HG2A1] Ashamira says that the Lords of the Wave are impostors. King Ulmoreth discovered their true nature: that's why he was imprisoned. [5.1.4.2.4] [1.P_HG2A1] Now that Ashamira is back, we are sure to win. [5.1.4.3.1] [1.P_HG2A1] It is written in the legend of Ulmoreth that this stick can shake the earth! [5.1.4.3.2] [1.P_HG2A1] Take good care of it. It will surely be useful to you. [5.1.4.4.1] [1.P_HG2A1] Tripodons love it. Their caretakers do too. [5.1.4.4.2] [1.P_HG2A1] Show this to the caretaker of the tripodons. You'll be able to taste some ashfire. [5.1.4.5.1] [1.P_HG2A1] I don't need it. [5.1.5.1.1] [1.P_EFG] I'm proud to speak with an Effahid who ridiculed the Hierarch's guards. There are many who think we only want to have fun. They are wrong. Our three clans are merely different facets of the same soul. [5.1.5.1.1] [2.P_HEN] Three clans? [5.1.5.1.1] [3.P_EFG] Yes. The Effahids, the Adhamids, and the Vissahids. The body's Sand follows the Wave, but the soul is spared by the Breath of Khronos. [5.1.5.1.2] [1.P_EFG] You are very lucky that Ashamira trusts you. She is usually quite suspicious. [5.1.5.1.2] [2.P_HEN] In any case, she is afraid of nothing! [5.1.5.1.2] [3.P_EFG] Well almost nothing... I can tell you: she hates those Lemur Sandstealers, and is vulnerable to their power. They say she encountered one of these spectres in the desert just after it had de-harmonized a Shekandar, and escaped by the skin of her teeth. [5.1.5.1.3] [1.P_EFG] You are welcome, Effahid! [5.1.5.2.1] [1.P_EFG] I'm like you! I grab anything I find! [5.1.5.3.1] [1.P_EFG] I've been told it's a talisman... I have one too. I'll give it to you for liberating our Chief. That way, you'll have twice as much luck! [5.1.5.3.2] [1.P_EFG] May luck be with you! [5.1.6.1.1] [1.P_HEN] It's another honey-cactus! [5.1.6.2.1] [1.P_HEN] I already took the cactus heart. [5.1.6.6.1] [1.P_HEN] He was thirsty! [5.1.7.1.1] [1.P_HEN] This coffer is locked. [5.1.7.1.2] [1.P_HEN] I can't open it. [5.1.7.2.1] [1.P_HEN] It's a map of Hourglass City... seen from above, it's the shape of a nautilus! [5.1.7.2.2] [1.P_HEN] A map of Hourglass City. [5.1.8.1.1] [1.P_EGR] You found what you were looking for: the Coral Arch that Ulmoreth went through on his strange journey. I haven't succeeded in awakening its power. [5.1.8.1.2] [1.P_EGR] This coffer contains Black Salt gems. You can take them with you. [5.1.8.2.1] [1.P_EGR] You have succeeded in awakening the Arch's power! You would be a dangerous enemy for the Hierarch with your powerful magic! [5.1.8.2.2] [1.P_EGR] Take care, Wells: The Sea of Eternity's shores are difficult to get to. If you manage to get through the Arch, you still have to cross the Crumbling Rocks without getting caught in their traps. The Sandstealers may stop you... Ulmoreth had to conquer them in order to get to the Sea. [5.1.8.2.4] [1.P_EGR] One last thing before you go: Ulmoreth had a quartz flask with him which he wanted to fill with water from the Sea of Eternity. Legend has it that this water protects your Memory. He left that flask there - perhaps you can find it. [5.1.8.2.5] [1.P_EGR] I wish you luck, Wells. I hope you'll find what you're looking for. [5.1.8.3.1] [1.P_HEN] The coffer is empty! [5.1.8.4.1] [1.P_EGR] I'm glad Dahjaroun gave you his stick. He's often too suspicious. [5.1.8.4.2] [1.P_EGR] I think you'll need it. [5.1.8.5.1] [1.P_EGR] The Arch is waiting for you, Wells - don't waste any time... [5.1.8.6.1] [1.P_EGR] I hear a rather strange noise... it seems to be coming from the nautilus. [5.1.8.6.2] [1.P_EGR] This is a very precious object. Perhaps it will guide you on your journey... [5.1.8.7.1] [1.P_EGR] I despise Black Salt, but I know that magicians use it... you might need some. [5.1.8.7.2] [1.P_EGR] Nothing could make me want that! [6.1.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] It looks like I've made it through... but where am I? [6.1.1.3.1] [1.P_HEN] I think... I've made a mistake! [6.3.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] I must be able to go above it... [6.3.3.3.1] [1.P_LEMF] The song of the flute... It reminds me of the rhythm of the Sand... which I can't hear anymore… [6.3.3.3.2] [1.P_LEMF] The sea... the rhythm of the sea fills my mind... it's all I can hear... [6.3.3.3.3] [1.P_LEMF] This music... it's so moving! [6.3.3.4.1] [1.P_LEMF] What a beautiful object! Give it to me! [6.3.3.4.1] [2.P_HEN] And what do I get in exchange? [6.3.3.4.1] [3.P_LEMF] Uhh... I have nothing to offer... only suffering and infinite pain… [6.3.3.4.1] [4.P_HEN] Your offer doesn't interest me. [6.3.3.4.2] [1.P_LEMF] Too bad... this object is so beautiful! [6.3.3.5.1] [1.P_LEMF] That music... that music is so peaceful… [6.3.3.6.1] [1.P_LEMF] Auggh! Get that away from me! [6.3.4.2.1] [1.P_LEMG] The Sand... that music evokes the rhythms of the Sand… [6.3.4.2.2] [1.P_HEN] Why are the Lemurs so aggressive? [6.3.4.2.2] [2.P_LEMG] We have to devour the Sandpeople's Sand to ease our suffering ! Stealing their sand gives us the illusion that we have a real body... and we can forget our torment. [6.3.4.2.3] [1.P_LEMG] This flute... I'm beginning to like it... [6.3.4.3.1] [1.P_LEMG] The energy of the hourglass... is pulling me... but the music is stronger! [6.3.4.4.1] [1.P_LEMG] Destroy that thing, or it will destroy you! [6.3.4.5.1] [1.P_LEMG] The flute... only the flute can play with eternity… [6.3.6.3.1] [1.P_LEMA1] The sea... the sea's current has carried off the Sand... [6.3.6.4.1] [1.P_LEMA1] The rhythm of the Sand... can't you hear it? [6.3.6.5.1] [1.P_LEMA1] Auggh! That thing is evil! [6.3.6.6.1] [1.P_LEMA1] There's a song resounding in my head... Listen! [6.3.7.3.1] [1.P_LEMA2] This song is more peaceful than the desert's sleep... [6.3.7.4.1] [1.P_LEMA2] Nothing matters but this music... [6.3.7.5.1] [1.P_LEMA2] This thing is torturing me... Throw it down a hole! [6.3.7.6.1] [1.P_LEMA2] Nothing matters anymore... except the rhythm of the Sand… [6.4.1.2.1] [1.P_LEMA1] The Sand... it reminds me of... so much suffering! [6.4.1.3.1] [1.P_LEMA1] The Ancient One... he'll want the hourglass! [6.4.1.4.1] [1.P_LEMA1] Get that away from me! [6.4.1.5.1] [1.P_LEMA1] The rhythm of the sea... puts my mind at peace... thanks to this music… [6.4.1.5.3] [1.P_LEMA1] Who watches the watchmen? [6.4.2.1.1] [1.P_HEN] There's no way to get across this gap! There's something strange... that I can't make out… [6.4.3.1.1] [1.P_LEMH] Well, well! Look who's here! A Sand Bag! A little filthy Sand Bag! [6.4.3.4.1] [1.P_LEMH] We have the impression that we've already met you, Effahid... You remind us of a King who came here long ago... A monarch who mastered the rhythms of the Sand and the Eternal Sea. But this King disappeared many Waves ago, leaving behind him a sacrilegious object capable of stealing the rhythms of the sea. The King was cursed, but his music was so captivating! [6.4.3.4.2] [1.P_HEN] This King you've mentioned... do you know what became of him? [6.4.3.4.2] [2.P_LEMH] He ended up joining the spirits of the sea... the guardians of Eternity. [6.4.3.4.2] [3.P_HEN] The sea? Where is it? [6.4.3.4.2] [4.P_LEMH] Very near... at the end of that passageway... but we're not allowed to go there. [6.4.3.4.3] [1.P_LEMH] Who are you? You who disturb our wandering... You look like an Effahid, but you're not. You seem to have the same powers as a Shekandar, but you're not one of them, either. You're floating between two universes... Lost like our fellow Lemurs... and like ourselves… [6.4.3.4.4] [1.P_LEMH] We are the Ancient One. We're going to give you a present... we're going to teach you the Spectral Body Spell. Then the barrier between our worlds will be diminished... In your de-materialized state, no one can attack your body's Sand... But you too will have the same restriction, and you'll not be able to affect the Sand of your adversaries in any way. [6.4.3.4.5] [1.P_LEMH] Always remember the suffering we endure... whoever we are. [6.4.3.5.1] [1.P_LEMH] We used to value hourglasses... but they are only shadows cast by the light of our suffering... [6.4.3.5.2] [1.P_LEMH] We no longer care about hourglasses... because your music shines much brighter! [6.4.3.6.1] [1.P_LEMH] What is that thing? We've never seen anything like it! That thing is evil! Why do you torment us? [6.4.3.6.2] [1.P_LEMH] Make that thing disappear! It wants to destroy us! [6.4.3.7.1] [1.P_LEMH] We have nothing to do with such things... Only the rhythm of the Sand is important. [6.4.3.8.1] [1.P_LEMH] The flask of the cursed King! Don't come near us! [6.4.3.8.2] [1.P_LEMH] Back up! We can't bear its effects! [6.5.2.2.1] [1.P_LEMA2] You are the banished King! Your music is so beautiful… [6.5.2.2.2] [1.P_LEMA2] The Sand of Eternity... I feel terribly confused. [6.5.2.3.1] [1.P_LEMA2] A treasure… But what will I do with it when I get the Sand of my body back? [6.5.2.4.1] [1.P_LEMA2] What a disgusting thing! It's destroying my mind! [6.5.2.5.1] [1.P_LEMA2] I have nothing to do with such things... [6.7.1.1.1] [1.P_HEN] That's incredible! The Sea is motionless... Like a giant sculpture of foam! [6.7.2.1.1] [1.P_HEX] I have my adult self back! I prefer to be my age again… [6.8.1.4.1] [1.P_HEX] There is water underneath this placid surface... and its reflections are fascinating! It's as if they contained an infinite wisdom... the memory of the Universe! [6.8.1.7.1] [1.P_SIRB] Just a minute... the purity of this case... awakens a memory... Oh it's already gone... Ulmoreth... the musician king… [6.8.1.7.1] [2.P_HEX] Bless this flask! It allows me to hear your words... because your song wouldn't have let me. [6.8.1.7.2] [1.P_HEX] I don't know who you are... or what you are. My name is Wells. I come from another time, and I wish to return home... I must meet Khronos, and for that I must go through the Gates of Eternity! Khronos is the only one who can send me back to my era! Can you help me? [6.8.1.7.2] [2.P_SIRB] They have told you the truth, man from another time: Khronos is the only one who can help you... But what right does a simple human have to pass through the Gates of Eternity? Only one man has approached them, but he isn't exactly a man... he was Ulmoreth. [6.8.1.8.1] [1.P_SIRB] Your magic is powerful, man of lost centuries. [6.8.1.8.1] [2.P_HEX] This magic allows me to speak to you... I prefer your words to your persuasive singing! [6.8.2.1.1] [1.P_SIRB] I've missed the King and his music for so long... I will strike a bargain with you. I will help you to find the domain of Khronos... if you liberate Ulmoreth and bring him to me. [6.8.2.1.1] [2.P_HEX] That is a difficult task... the Hierarch controls the whole of Hourglass City! [6.8.2.1.1] [3.P_SIRB] No task is too difficult if it helps you find your loved ones... If you succeed, you will receive the Key of Foam. Only that key will open the Gates of Eternity. [6.8.2.1.2] [1.P_SIRB] To help you save Ulmoreth, I will give you a weapon. A unique weapon with destructive powers... the Conch of Khronos. Take it with you, and use it before the ramparts of Hourglass City. The Hierarch's soldiers are helpless in the face of this Conch. [6.8.2.1.3] [1.P_HEX] You attach a lot of importance to King Ulmoreth... but do you know what happened to him? [6.8.2.1.3] [2.P_SIRB] I'm afraid I don't know... Speak without fear, man from the past. I am ready to hear the truth. [6.8.2.1.3] [3.P_HEX] I think that Ulmoreth was condemned by the Hierarch Harmikail... for eternity. If this word means anything to you. [6.8.2.1.3] [4.P_SIRB] I had a feeling... But even eternity can see its end approaching. [6.8.2.3.1] [1.P_SIRB] You have a nautilus to guide you. With its help, there's a chance you might complete your mission. [6.8.2.3.2] [1.P_SIRB] Wearing this nautilus doesn't make you a King, or a God... don't forget that. [6.8.2.4.1] [1.P_SIRB] The Shells of Time are precious and rare. The Sea of Eternity is miserly with its treasures. [6.8.2.5.1] [1.P_SIRB] Is the Black Salt a curse or a blessing? Everyone carries the answer within... [6.8.2.6.1] [1.P_SIRB] Have you no reason? Why do you struggle in vain against your destiny? [6.8.2.6.2] [1.P_SIRB] You're wasting your time... and time is your most precious possession. [6.8.2.7.1] [1.P_SIRB] Everything has a role to play when its time comes. [6.9.1.1.1] [1.P_SIRB] The Conch will let you measure the power of the Wave! You can only use it one time. May the Will of Khronos guide you, Herbert George Wells. [6.9.1.1.2] [1.P_SIRB] I will grant you one last favor. Your apprenticeship was difficult... whatever wounds you endured are now healed. [6.9.2.1.1] [1.P_SIRB] You must hurry! The sands of Time are flowing faster and faster… [6.9.2.1.2] [1.P_SIRB] The enchanted dance under the sea is over. You have to hurry. What's wrong, Wells, chicken? [6.9.2.1.2] [2.P_HEX] Nobody calls me chicken! [8.1.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] That's not the right direction, Wells! [8.1.1.1.2] [1.P_ASH] You have to go the exact opposite way! [8.1.1.5.1] [1.P_ASH] We don't have time to chat, Wells! We must find Ulmoreth! [8.1.1.5.2] [1.P_ASH] Later, Wells! We have a mission to accomplish! [8.1.1.6.1] [1.P_ASH] The salt is useless. Hurry! We have no time to lose! [8.1.1.6.2] [1.P_ASH] I detest that! You'd better get rid of it… [8.1.1.7.1] [1.P_ASH] Perhaps your nautilus will take us to Ulmoreth, but I doubt it! [8.1.1.7.2] [1.P_ASH] I prefer to rely on myself, not a shell! [8.1.1.8.1] [1.P_ASH] That's Ulmoreth's flask! The King said it contained water from the Sea of Eternity... and that anyone who drinks it will receive the gift of memory. [8.1.1.8.2] [1.P_ASH] If you found the flask, we will find the King! [8.1.1.9.1] [1.P_ASH] There are more important things. Let's hurry, Wells. [8.1.1.10.1] [1.P_HEX] The crystal nautilus neutralized my attack! I must have gone after the wrong adversary… [8.1.1.11.1] [1.P_ASH] Don't waste your time, it's useless to attack them! [8.1.1.11.2] [1.P_ASH] That doesn't do any good, Wells! [8.1.1.11.3] [1.P_ASH] Wake up, Wells! [8.1.1.11.4] [1.P_ASH] Wells, we have no time to take in the countryside! [8.1.1.11.5] [1.P_ASH] Hey! Player! The keyboard is the thing in front of you with all the buttons. Use it! [8.1.2.1.1] [1.P_EF5A] What am I doing here? I can't remember anything… [8.1.2.1.2] [1.P_EF5A] If only I could remember… [8.1.2.2.1] [1.P_EF5A] I don't know what that is... [8.1.3.1.1] [1.P_VH3] Huh?.. I... I must stay at my station! Yes, that's it! Stay at my station. [8.1.3.1.2] [1.P_VH3] If I don't stay at my post, the Lords of the Wave will be angry with me... [8.1.3.2.1] [1.P_VH3] I... I have to look after the tripodon! At least, I think so… [8.1.3.4.1] [1.P_HEX] One of Willoughby's cousins! [8.1.3.4.2] [1.P_HEX] Don't worry! Willoughby's fine. [8.1.3.4.3] [1.P_HEX] What color is the Hierarch's white tripodon? You don't know? [8.1.5.5.1] [1.P_HG2A2] That was tense! If other Shekandars come, they'll find what they're looking for! [8.1.5.5.2] [1.P_HG2A2] I don't regret coming here! Let me at them! [8.1.6.5.1] [1.P_HEX] If I manage to get back home, I shall miss the fragrance of the honey-cactus... [8.1.6.7.1] [1.P_HSG] Hourglass City has become Harmikail City... I hate the Hierarch! [8.1.6.7.1] [2.P_HEX] He was de-harmonized. [8.1.6.7.1] [3.P_HSG] Good! He paid for his treason! The King and the Sandpeople have their revenge at last! [8.1.6.7.2] [1.P_HSG] The Shekandars won't stop us from liberating Ulmoreth. [8.1.6.7.3] [1.P_HSG] I'm going to keep an eye on the entrance to Hourglass Square. The Shekandars might come back. [8.1.6.7.4] [1.P_HSG] Be careful. Ashamira asked us to watch over you. She seems to... have a high regard for you. [8.1.6.7.5] [1.P_HSG] Victory will be ours! The Sand God will make sure of it. [8.1.6.8.1] [1.P_HSG] I hope the stick I gave you was useful... Don't leave empty-handed! Take this! [8.1.6.9.1] [1.P_HSG] You can show me that later. [8.1.7.2.1] [1.P_HEX] I feel something... As if there were a Chronomantic field around the machine... It doesn't feel good! [8.1.7.4.1] [1.P_HEX] I don't know how to stop this machine! I need the help of a Shekandar: They're experts in mechanics and Chronomantics... but I doubt they would give me the instructions. [8.1.7.4.2] [1.P_HEX] I won't make it without help... [8.2.1.1.1] [1.P_SHCD] Effahid! Take the Chronophore and de-harmonize this intruder! [8.2.2.1.1] [1.P_EF5B] ... And now Khronos, I put my destiny in your divine hands... [8.2.2.1.1] [2.P_HEX] I didn't realize the Hierarch's guards were so zealous... Why didn't you obey the Shekandars orders? [8.2.2.1.1] [3.P_EF5B] ... I am only afraid of fear itself, my Lord, but I am guided by your light... [8.2.2.1.1] [4.P_HEX] I don't think he can hear me... [8.2.2.1.2] [1.P_HEX] I recognize you! You're the deaf guard - I mean hard of hearing... You've left the Sanctuary? [8.2.2.1.2] [2.P_EF5B] And the Sand God... Huh? What? No, I didn't throw it on the ground! I still have it on me... at least I think so… [8.2.2.1.2] [3.P_HEX] What in the world is he talking about? [8.2.2.1.3] [1.P_EF5B] The problem is: I don't remember what purpose it serves. It must open a door… [8.2.2.1.3] [2.P_HEX] I get it! You're talking about the key! The key to the red door! Can you give it to me? [8.2.2.1.3] [3.P_EF5B] What? Speak up! I don't hear very well! [8.2.2.1.3] [4.P_HEX] THE KEY! TO THE RED DOOR! I MUST OPEN THE RED DOOR! [8.2.2.1.3] [5.P_EF5B] Huh? Oh yes! The golden key... Yes - I have it... But I don't know what to do with it… [8.2.2.1.3] [6.P_HEX] GIVE IT TO ME! IN THE NAME OF THE HIERARCH! [8.2.2.1.3] [7.P_EF5B] Huh? Uhh... take it, if you want it so badly… [8.2.2.1.4] [1.P_EF5B] I don't understand. Why do you only want one key to the red door? [8.2.2.2.1] [1.P_EF5B] Oh Sand God, I beg you to restore all of my memory... [8.2.2.2.2] [1.P_EF5B] And... and... OH! I don't remember the rest of that prayer! What's after that? [8.2.2.5.1] [1.P_HEX] There's something strange over there… [8.2.2.5.2] [1.P_HEX] Something's bothering me, but what? [8.2.2.7.1] [1.P_HEX] Ah Khronos... What would the world be without you? [8.3.1.1.1] [1.P_HG2B] The desert is full of Lemurs... don't go too far away! [8.3.1.1.2] [1.P_HG2B] Hey! The city is where it's happening! [8.3.1.2.1] [1.P_HG2B] I can't believe it! I de-harmonized a Shekandar... I thought they were invincible! Khronos is on our side! [8.3.1.2.2] [2.P_HG2B] With your help and that of the Sand God, victory will be ours! Here, take these Sand herbs, they could be helpful... and whatever helps you helps our cause. [8.3.1.2.3] [1.P_HG2B] Good Luck! [8.3.1.3.1] [1.P_HG2B] That's not worth a good bottle of ashfire... [8.3.1.3.2] [1.P_HG2B] We mustn't be taken by surprise! Stay on your guard! [8.3.4.1.1] [1.P_HEX] I feel as if there were a Chronomantic field around the machine... but its not active on the back face! [8.3.4.2.1] [1.P_HEX] Hummmph... This is complicated. I need a Shekandar's help to sabotage this machine... [8.3.4.2.2] [1.P_HEX] What Shekandar would agree to help me? [8.3.4.6.1] [1.P_HEX] It's stuck... I think it takes two people to move these levers! [8.3.4.6.2] [1.P_HEX] It's useless! It takes the strength of several men… [8.3.6.2.1] [1.P_HEX] I think... there's something that resembles a lock! [8.3.6.3.1] [1.P_HEX] I made it! [8.3.7.7.1] [1.P_HEX] It's useless to put that further away! [8.4.1.1.1] [1.P_VEL] Wells! It's you! Blessed is Khronos! There's something you must see! [8.4.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] Not right now! The rebels are trying to free Ulmoreth! [8.4.1.1.1] [3.P_VEL] Oh, be quiet and look! I succeeded in pointing my Chronoscope at the heart of the vortex... and what I saw was unbelievable! [8.4.1.1.2] [1.P_HEX] It's... It's my laboratory! And the Chronoeider is situated in the right place. The Chronoeider of my Time Machine is the heart of the vortex! How is that possible? [8.4.1.1.2] [2.P_VEL] I don't know “how ” it's possible, but you saw it with your own eyes... There's something serious, too: The heart of the vortex is dying. It's beating more and more weakly. And if it stops, it's the end of everything! [8.4.1.1.2] [3.P_HEX] The end of everything? [8.4.1.1.2] [4.P_VEL] The end of the world! The end of the Universe! The destruction of everything that was and will be! [8.4.1.1.2] [5.P_HEX] And it's all my fault! Lord, what have I done!? [8.4.1.1.2] [6.P_VEL] Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. I don't know how, but... it's true that your machine created this phenomenon. But you can still do something about it! You must go through the gates of Eternity! You must meet Khronos! And you must do it QUICKLY!! [8.5.1.1.1] [1.P_LEMD] AHH, but here's my apprentice again! OOO! You look different! The Wave still has an effect on the Sand of your body… [8.5.1.1.3] [1.P_LEMD] Something's going on... Great Chronomantic forces are at work. Who knows... maybe you'll play a role in the destiny of the Sand World, apprentice! [8.5.1.1.3] [2.P_HEX] I have already forced the hand of destiny! May God forgive me! [8.5.1.1.4] [1.P_LEMD] If you have the talent, I might be able to teach you certain mysteries of Chronomantic magic... [8.5.1.7.1] [1.P_LEMD] Shells of Time are rare... and therefore, precious. [8.5.1.32.1] [1.P_LEMD] Where did you learn that spell? Very few Lemurs know it... [8.5.1.32.1] [2.P_HEX] The Ancient One from the cavern. That's who taught it to me. [8.5.1.32.1] [3.P_LEMD] Thus, you have finally visited the veritable cavern... Let's see if you learned your lesson! [8.5.1.32.2] [1.P_LEMD] Will you be worthy of what you've been taught? [8.5.1.32.4] [1.P_LEMD] You're too slow... and you're not even a Vissahid. [8.5.1.32.5] [1.P_LEMD] Your knowledge of this spell is... satisfactory. [8.5.1.32.6] [1.P_LEMD] The Ancient One seems to have made a mistake... you're not even a Chronomancer! [8.5.1.32.7] [1.P_LEMD] That's good. Continue like that. [8.5.1.33.1] [1.P_LEMD] The mermaids are strange... and dangerous. With their song, they can drive their enemies crazy... or worse. [8.5.1.33.2] [1.P_LEMD] Let's see how you deal with the mermaids' song, apprentice! [8.5.1.33.4] [1.P_LEMD] An adversary under the influence of their song is no longer a threat... most of the time. Insanity can be the best ally in certain situations. [8.5.1.33.5] [1.P_LEMD] Your hesitations will be your demise, apprentice. [8.5.1.33.6] [1.P_LEMD] Who's the more foolish... The fool or the fool who follows him? [8.5.1.33.7] [1.P_LEMD] You went the wrong way: Chronomantics is not your calling. [8.5.1.34.1] [1.P_LEMD] Established fighters wear armor... but every protection has its weak point. [8.5.1.34.5] [1.P_LEMD] To lose Sand is to lose oneself. And you succeeded in avoiding it. [8.5.1.34.7] [1.P_LEMD] Problems slide off the vigilant Chronomancer's armor... and give him the time to retaliate. [8.5.1.35.1] [1.P_LEMD] Augghh! Get that thing away from me! It upsets me! [8.5.1.35.2] [1.P_LEMD] Put that awful thing away! [8.6.7.3.1] [1.P_HG2A1] Thanks for the help, but I can't talk now. There may be others on the way! [8.6.7.3.2] [1.P_HG2A1] We must keep control of the city streets! [8.6.7.7.1] [1.P_EFG] The fight is difficult... but don't lose hope! The battle will stop when the Hierarch is taken! [8.6.7.7.2] [1.P_EFG] Take this, Wells. I hope it brings you luck! [8.6.7.7.3] [1.P_EFG] We have a chance with you on our side! The Shekandars won't be able to touch us! [8.6.7.7.4] [1.P_EFG] Good luck, soldier! [8.6.7.9.1] [1.P_EFG] You have an Hourglass of Ashes? Here's another one! You need all the luck you can get! [8.6.7.9.2] [1.P_EFG] I gave you one to bring you luck... I hope Khronos will take that into account! [8.6.7.10.1] [1.P_EFG] I don't have time... We have to hold the city! [8.6.7.10.2] [1.P_EFG] We must fight! We'll see about rewards later! [8.6.8.3.1] [1.P_VEL] You have got to hurry, Wells! You don't seem to realize that the universe is falling apart! [8.6.8.3.1] [2.P_HEX] I know! Have you... uh... have you ever seen signs of Khronos? I... You see, I'm not quite sure I believe... I mean... believe in a god… [8.6.8.3.1] [3.P_VEL] You must have faith, Wells! Khronos is in everything and Time belongs to him whether you believe in him or not. Show yourself to be worthy of him. Then you will be able to meet him. [8.6.8.3.3] [1.P_VEL] Don't waste time, Wells. [8.6.8.4.1] [1.P_HEX] The Great Desert is vast and inhospitable... It's the land of the Lemurs - these specters greedy for the Sand of Man. No subject of Khronos would dare go there. [8.6.8.4.1] [2.P_HEX] Sometimes the sacred guards come upon Sandpeople who have lost their memory wandering through the desert. These are the Outcasts. They are taken back to the city where the priests dissolve the darkness that veils their souls. [8.6.8.5.1] [1.P_HEX] According to the sacred principles man's soul is the exact same shape as an upside down pyramid. Each side represents one of the spiritual states of the Sandpeople. [8.6.8.5.1] [2.P_HEX] The first side is Adhamid, the guardian. The second is the sage: the Vissahid. The third is Effahid, those who play. The last side, which dominates the others is the Shekandar, the Chosen of Khronos. [8.6.8.5.1] [3.P_HEX] The Pyramid of Ashes revolves in the Wave's furious winds, and only the Shekandar can resist the force of the Breath of the Sand God. [8.6.8.6.1] [1.P_HEX] King Ulmoreth had but one wish: to contemplate the changing reflections on the Sea of Eternity. He left the city and discovered a coral arch in the desert; an enchanted door leading to divine shores. Ulmoreth crossed Crumbling rock Pass and didn't fall prey to its perils. Then he found himself before the motionless waters of the Sea of Eternity. [8.6.8.6.1] [2.P_HEX] But the King wasn't alone: swimming among the still waters were the Mermaids of Time, guardians of the universal ocean. Their song swept through Ulmoreth's soul as he bleakly contemplated his end. One of the Mermaids took pity on Ulmoreth and gave him a priceless gift: the gift of memory. Which he could then give to the Sandpeople. [8.6.8.6.1] [3.P_HEX] The King came back safe and sound to the city. But his soul was shattered. He fell into a state of melancholy desiring only one thing: to return to the Sea of Eternity and swim with the Mermaid of Time. [8.6.8.7.1] [1.P_HEX] Lemurs are dangerous creatures. The only ones who don't fear their evil powers are the Lords of the Wave. In fact, the Chronomancers can even obtain magic formulas from them which they then keep in prisms made from the purest quartz. [8.6.8.7.1] [2.P_HEX] Lemurs seem to be fascinated by crystals, and their caverns are illuminated by an abundance of these glowing stones. However, they are frightened by pure quartz because it can weaken their powers. [8.6.8.10.1] [1.P_HEX] I think these clocks measure the rhythm of time fluxes... or something like that. [8.6.8.11.1] [1.P_HEX] I simply can't believe it... My own laboratory! [8.6.8.12.1] [1.P_VEL] He can guide you in your search... but he can not make decisions for you. [8.6.8.14.1] [1.P_VEL] Shells of Time can only be found on the shores of the Sea of Eternity. [8.6.8.14.2] [1.P_VEL] It will certainly be useful to you... because you're bound to encounter difficulties! [8.6.8.21.1] [1.P_VEL] Look Out! This vapor-thrower is an experimental weapon... It projects a gas that stops Time... thus paralyzing the adversary. But its range is limited. You might find it useful. [8.6.8.23.1] [1.P_VEL] Time's running out, Wells. More urgent things are waiting for you! [8.6.8.24.1] [1.P_HEX] The mechanism is locked. [8.7.1.1.1] [1.P_HEX] You must help me! We have to find Ulmoreth, and free him! [8.7.1.1.1] [2.P_VEL] I will do whatever I can... but I won't do combat with my brothers. I detest violence. It never solves problems, it only by-passes them. [8.7.1.1.1] [3.P_HEX] Your scruples are honorable... But my problem is a machine. A mechanical guardian is occupying Hourglass Square, and I can't neutralize it. It's surrounded by a sort of... energy field. [8.7.1.1.1] [4.P_VEL] Ah! You're talking about Cyclops! I can help you... I conceived that machine. [8.7.1.1.1] [5.P_HEX] Oh boy! [8.7.1.1.1] [6.P_VEL] I didn't know exactly what use the Hierarch had in mind for it... You must open its mouth and create a short-circuit. I can negate the Chronomantic field which protects the front of Cyclops with a spell. So I will have to come with you. Let's go! [8.8.2.2.1] [1.P_VEL] We have got to hurry! We must destroy Cyclops! [8.8.2.2.2] [1.P_VEL] Wells, we must hurry! [8.8.2.2.3] [1.P_VEL] Time is running out! The machine has got to be neutralized! [8.8.2.3.1] [1.P_VEL] We'll talk later! First: Cyclops! [8.8.2.3.2] [1.P_VEL] We don't have much time, Wells! [8.9.1.1.1] [1.P_HEX] Open its mouth... this must be the central panel! I need something to take it apart with! [8.9.1.1.2] [1.P_HEX] I have to get to the heart of the machine... and the panel is closed with a bolt! [8.9.1.2.1] [1.P_VEL] I'm going to cast a spell to neutralize the machine's Chronomantic field. You can approach it safely... as long as I stay concentrated! [8.9.1.2.2] [1.P_VEL] I have to concentrate to re-cast the spell. Augh! This blasted machine! [8.9.1.3.1] [1.P_VEL] You have found the weak point of Cyclops: there's no Chronomantic field at the back of the machine. But I'll stay here while you render it defenseless… just in case… [8.9.1.5.1] [1.P_VEL] Ouch! Cyclops is being difficult! [8.9.1.5.2] [1.P_VEL] Humph! The machine is rebelling against its maker! [8.9.1.6.1] [1.P_VEL] You should back up... I think Cyclops is going to explode! [8.9.1.6.2] [1.P_ASH] Oh! Thank you, Wells! I feel better like that. But we mustn't waste time! Let's go! [8.9.1.6.2] [2.P_HEX] So, nothing can stop you? [8.9.1.6.2] [3.P_ASH] Nothing concrete in any case... [8.9.1.6.3] [1.P_VEL] I don't think you need me any more... I'm going back to my laboratory... Good Luck! [8.9.1.7.1] [1.P_ASH] Thank you for saving me from this machine, Wells. It was... charming of you. Let's hurry! We have to go into the palace! [8.9.1.7.1] [2.P_HEX] The pleasure was entirely mine. [8.9.1.7.1] [3.P_ASH] I don't doubt it. [8.9.1.7.2] [1.P_ASH] Let's go! [8.9.3.1.1] [1.P_ASH] I see what the problem is: you have to move both levers at exactly the same time. Are you ready? [8.9.3.1.2] [1.P_ASH] Go on three! Ready? One... two... three! [8.9.3.1.3] [1.P_ASH] Am I counting too fast for you? [8.9.3.1.4] [1.P_ASH] Do you have synchronization problems, Wells? [8.10.3.3.1] [1.P_HSG] I almost got de-harmonized! I didn't think Chronomancers were so dangerous! [8.10.3.3.1] [2.P_HEX] The magic of Time is powerful... that's a lesson I taught myself! [8.10.3.3.2] [1.P_HSG] You are a valuable man... Here - take this. Black Salt is important for Chronomancers. [8.10.3.3.3] [1.P_HSG] Don't waste time! [8.10.7.1.1] [1.P_VEL] You have a mission to accomplish... and I can not give you any more help! [8.10.7.1.2] [1.P_VEL] Good Luck... You're going to need it! [8.11.1.1.1] [1.P_HIE] You think you are courageous warriors... but you are mere slaves! Disgusting insects that I will have to crush!.. Your memory will be lost in the torrents of the Wave! [8.11.2.2.1] [1.P_ASH] We have to de-harmonize the Hierarch Harmikail! And restore justice for the Sandpeople! Help me Wells. I can't fight a Chronomancer with such powers single-handedly. [8.11.2.2.2] [1.P_ASH] Let us banish the Hierarch from Time! [8.11.3.1.1] [1.P_HEX] I think there's a secret door! [8.11.3.1.1] [2.P_ASH] There must be a way to activate the mechanism that opens the door! I feel Ulmoreth isn't far away… [8.11.3.1.2] [1.P_HEX] It looks like there's a hidden passage behind the wall... [8.11.3.1.3] [1.P_HEX] We have to find out how to open it! [8.11.3.1.4] [1.P_ASH] Ulmoreth is here! Behind this wall! [8.11.3.1.5] [1.P_HEX] The passage is blocked. [8.11.3.1.6] [1.P_HEX] I can't open it. [8.11.4.2.1] [1.P_ASH] My King! After all these Hourglasses! I've finally found you! [8.11.4.2.1] [2.P_ULM] Ashamira... I did not forget you. [8.11.4.2.1] [3.P_ASH] Ulmoreth, you are the symbol of freedom to the Sandpeople! With you as our leader, we can put an end to Shekandar slavery! [8.11.4.2.1] [4.P_ULM] I don't know, Ashamira... My heart is full of sadness...The gift of memory can be cruel when memories are bitter... I remember the eternal shores... I remember the mermaid... and my soul is full of suffering. [8.11.4.2.1] [5.P_ASH] You must get a hold of yourself, Ulmoreth! We control our destiny! We can conquer Logor Shar and his allies! [8.11.4.2.1] [6.P_ULM] But is Khronos the master of his own destiny?.. but you are right about one thing: Tetradon has to be beaten. He is the most evil threat imaginable... even the Sea of Eternity couldn't quench his thirst for power! [8.11.4.3.1] [1.P_HEX] I am so very glad to finally meet you King Ulmoreth. I made a pact with the Mermaid: I have to take you back to the shores of the Sea of Eternity... She hasn't forgotten you. She's waiting for you. [8.11.4.3.1] [2.P_ULM] The moment has finally come. I will follow you, voyager. The end is near for you too. [8.11.4.3.2] [1.P_ULM] The Hierarch Harmikail must be de-harmonized... His very existence is an insult to Khronos. [8.11.4.3.3] [1.P_ULM] We still have one task to complete: Logor Shar must be vanquished. Then I could follow you, voyager. [8.11.4.3.3] [2.P_HEX] I have something against Tetradon myself... I will fight him by your side King Ulmoreth. [8.11.4.3.4] [1.P_ULM] Harmikail must disappear! [8.11.4.3.5] [1.P_ULM] You must confront the Hierarch! [8.11.4.4.1] [1.P_ASH] Ulmoreth is my King, and always was. I will obey his wishes. [8.11.4.4.2] [1.P_ASH] We have to find Ulmoreth, Wells! I'm sure he's in the palace! [8.11.4.4.3] [1.P_ASH] If we destroy Tetradon, the Sandpeople will be free to follow their own path! [8.11.4.4.5] [1.P_ASH] Ulmoreth isn't far away. We must set him free! [8.11.4.5.1] [1.P_ULM] Keep this object, voyager... I don't want anything except my memories... But the flask is useless when it's empty... although the specters do fear its purity. [8.11.4.5.2] [1.P_ULM] This flask... it reminds me of useless hopes... drowned in the abundance of Eternity… [8.11.4.6.1] [1.P_ULM] Water from the Sea of Eternity... It has the gift of restoring memory... but that gift can be a curse. [8.11.4.6.2] [1.P_ULM] Forgetting is the Child of Time, voyager. [8.11.4.7.1] [1.P_ULM] My flute! I can still hear its music... It brought hope to those who despaired. It revived a flame of joy in melancholy hearts... Its song was powerful enough to charm the Lemurs… [8.11.4.7.2] [1.P_ULM] You may keep it, voyager. I follow my own voice now. [8.11.4.8.1] [1.P_ULM] I don't think that the nautilus makes you special. I think it's because you are special that you have this nautilus. [8.11.4.8.2] [1.P_ULM] May Khronos make the nautilus protect you... [8.11.4.9.1] [1.P_ULM] Perhaps we could talk about this object a little later..? [8.11.4.9.2] [1.P_ULM] There are many more important things. [8.13.1.1.1] [1.P_LEME] Get out of my sphere, slave! [8.15.1.1.1] [1.P_VEL] I am happy to see that you are free, King Ulmoreth. Perhaps the time of the Shekandars is over. But I'm afraid it's too late. [8.15.1.1.1] [2.P_ULM] Perhaps you are right, Vel Subek. But Logor Shar cannot continue to threaten the future of our world. [8.15.1.1.1] [3.P_VEL] Wells, take this. This key will come in handy when you get to the monastery. I cannot accompany you. My place is here in the city of the Sandpeople. [8.15.1.1.1] [4.P_ASH] Let's get going. It's a long journey to the monastery. [8.15.1.1.2] [1.P_ASH] The Nautilus Web is blocking access to the lift. We have to deactivate the tele-transporters. The Shekandars outnumber us, so we must take them by surprise! A man alone could go by unnoticed… [8.15.1.1.2] [2.P_HEX] I think I got the message, Ashamira... I'll deactivate the Nautilus Web. [8.15.1.1.2] [3.P_ASH] Thank you, Wells. I knew I could count on you. [8.15.1.1.2] [4.P_HEX] It's my pleasure, Madam. See you later. [8.15.1.1.2] [5.P_ASH] Uh... Wells. Be careful, all right? [9.1.1.3.1] [1.P_HEX] Hmm ... the Gates are locked! [9.1.1.3.2] [1.P_HEX] The Gates are closed. I should have known... [9.1.2.1.1] [1.P_HS4A] ... has broken down! I can't get it started. [9.1.2.1.2] [1.P_SHCF] You're useless, Semireth. I'm stopping the system! [9.1.3.7.2] [1.P_HEX] There is a security installation that blocks the system... [9.1.4.4.1] [1.P_HEX] It won't budge! [9.1.4.4.2] [1.P_HEX] You'd have to be strong as an ox to budge this wagon! [9.1.4.9.1] [1.P_HEX] It can't go any higher! [9.1.4.12.1] [1.P_HEX] It can't go any lower! [9.1.5.2.1] [1.P_HEX] The robot took a bad fall! [9.1.5.2.2] [1.P_HEX] A lovely pile of scrap metal... [9.1.5.4.2] [1.P_HEX] This machine seems to be broken. [9.1.5.4.3] [1.P_HEX] This machine doesn't seem to work any better than the computers game designers use! [9.1.6.1.1] [1.P_HS4A] My name is Semireth. I'm responsible for the other servant's work... What happened up there? The grinding machine is broken, and the lady monk might think it's my fault! [9.1.6.1.1] [2.P_HEX] The person in charge must have left... and won't be back for quite a while! [9.1.6.1.2] [1.P_HEX] My name is Wells... Tell me, Semireth, do you know how to get up into the monastery? [9.1.6.1.2] [2.P_HS4A] I don't know what you're thinking of, Wells, but the only thing that can go up into the monastery is ore. From time to time, a Shekandar comes to fetch a slave, but it's rare. [9.1.6.1.3] [1.P_HEX] You should know that the rebels are going to attack the Shekandars. The time of fear is over! You will soon be free! [9.1.6.1.3] [2.P_HS4A] I don't know what will become of me, but you... are crazy! Attack the Shekandars? You'd have to be insane! [9.1.6.1.3] [3.P_HEX] If Ashamira heard what you're saying... I don't think I could restrain her! [9.1.6.1.4] [1.P_HS4A] I don't know what's going to happen. I can only hope the punishment won't be too severe... [9.1.6.2.1] [1.P_HS4A] I think it's an object that emits a sound which the guardian robots recognize. [9.1.6.2.2] [1.P_HS4A] The robots recognize the sound of this object. I don't know any more than that. [9.1.6.3.1] [1.P_HS4A] Black Salt... These gems are what we work so hard for… [9.1.6.3.2] [1.P_HS4A] It takes many many hourglasses to extract the rock salt before we transform it into gems... [9.1.6.4.1] [1.P_HS4A] I'm not interested in your nautilus... it won't help me in my work. [9.1.6.4.2] [1.P_HS4A] I don't need any. [9.1.6.6.1] [1.P_HS4A] That won't be of any use to me. [9.1.6.6.2] [1.P_HS4A] That's yours, not mine. [9.1.7.1.1] [1.P_HS4B] I... I have to work... for the Lords of the Wave… [9.1.7.1.2] [1.P_HS4B] No... no... I mustn't speak... only work... for my salvation… [9.1.7.2.1] [1.P_HS4B] I need... I need Black Salt… [9.1.7.2.2] [1.P_HS4B] Yes... Black Salt... for the Lords… [9.1.7.3.1] [1.P_HS4B] I... I have nothing to say to you… [9.1.7.3.2] [1.P_HS4B] Work... it's my only objective… [9.1.7.4.1] [1.P_HS4B] No... No... I don't have time… [9.1.7.4.2] [1.P_HS4B] Black Salt... Black Salt… [9.1.7.5.1] [1.P_FS4B] You should let us work... In any case... I have nothing to say to you… [9.1.7.5.2] [1.P_FS4B] Working... is the most important thing… [9.1.7.6.1] [1.P_FS4B] Leave me alone... [9.1.7.6.2] [1.P_FS4B] I beg you... I have to work… [9.1.8.2.1] [1.P_HEX] It doesn't seem to be working... It looks like the robot is being controlled by another source. [9.1.8.2.2] [1.P_HEX] Something must be controlling this robot from a distance... that's why the disrupter isn't working. [9.1.8.4.1] [1.P_HEX] If I do that, I'll be reduced to pudding! Immortal, or not! [9.1.8.4.2] [1.P_HEX] I'd better jump at the right moment… [9.1.9.1.1] [1.P_HEX] I have to wait for the right moment... [9.1.9.1.2] [1.P_HEX] Oops! Better be careful! [9.1.9.4.1] [1.P_HEX] That won't do any good! [9.1.9.4.2] [1.P_HEX] I might get stuck if I jump... [9.2.1.1.1] [1.P_SHCB] A rebel! You won't get any further! [9.2.2.3.1] [1.P_HVI] I can't imagine what purpose that could serve… [9.2.2.3.3] [1.P_HEX] Strange machine… [9.2.2.4.1] [1.P_HVI] This machine must treat the ore. [9.2.2.4.3] [1.P_HEX] The ore must be treated by this machine. [9.2.2.5.1] [1.P_HVI] Not many tools... It looks like a weekend handyman's workshop. [9.2.2.5.3] [1.P_HEX] Very few tools... I have more material than this in my lab! [9.2.2.6.1] [1.P_HVI] A control panel... they're all over the place here. [9.2.2.6.3] [1.P_HEX] A control panel... must be for surveying the ore treatment. [9.2.2.8.1] [1.P_HVI] I couldn't go through there... [9.2.2.8.3] [1.P_HEX] I couldn't go through there... [9.3.1.1.1] [1.P_SHGF] May Khronos obliterate you! [9.3.2.1.1] [1.P_HEX] It looks like this desk controls the Nautilus Web... Bingo! [9.3.3.1.1] [1.P_HVI] It looks like a surveillance system. I should be able to see a lot with that. [9.3.3.1.2] [1.P_HEX] It looks like a surveillance system. I should be able to see a lot with that. [9.4.1.1.1] [1.P_ULM] The Wave... I feel it approaching… [9.4.1.1.1] [2.P_ASH] Quick! Take some Black Salt! [9.4.1.1.2] [1.P_ASH] Forward! [9.5.1.5.1] [1.P_HVI] Khronos sends a Wave which transforms the Sandpeople... but the monks who live close to him don't seem affected by it... [9.5.1.5.3] [1.P_HEX] Khronos sends a Wave which transforms the Sandpeople... but the monks who live close to him don't seem affected by it... [9.5.1.6.1] [1.P_HVI] It looks like the salt mines. A slave has found some ore... and the robot is there to survey him! [9.5.1.6.3] [1.P_HEX] It looks like the salt mines. A slave has found some ore... and the robot is there to survey him! [9.5.1.7.1] [1.P_HVI] There, in the center... Tetradon is addressing an assembly of warriors and monks. What a sinister character! [9.5.1.7.3] [1.P_HEX] There, in the center... Tetradon is addressing an assembly of warriors and monks. What a sinister character! [9.5.1.8.1] [1.P_HVI] Khronos is there in the center! And the Mermaids of Time watch over the path that leads to him… [9.5.1.8.3] [1.P_HEX] Khronos is there in the center! And the Mermaids of Time watch over the path that leads to him… [9.5.2.4.1] [1.P_HVI] It doesn't work. The robot must be controlled at a distance! [9.5.2.4.2] [1.P_HEX] It doesn't work. The robot must be controlled at a distance! [9.5.2.5.1] [1.P_ASH] We can't get through! Do something, Wells! [9.5.2.5.2] [1.P_ASH] This robot won't let us leave! [9.5.2.5.3] [1.P_ASH] We have to destroy this robot, Wells! [9.5.3.3.1] [1.P_SHCG] Here's a prestigious guest! You must be the famous Wells! Let's see if you're as strong as they say you are! How about a little Chronomantic duel? You don't have much choice, do you? [9.5.3.3.2] [1.P_SHCG] The rules are simple: If you de-harmonize me, you may leave the platform... no point in using weapons - they've all been deactivated! Only your magic can save you... Let's see how you do! [9.5.3.7.1] [1.P_HVI] I can't use a weapon during the duel! [9.5.3.7.2] [1.P_HEX] The weapons are deactivated during the duel! [9.5.4.8.1] [1.P_HVI] I think these clocks measure the rhythm of temporal fluxes... or something like that. [9.6.1.2.1] [1.P_ASH] Excellent, Wells! But the worst is yet to come... Tetradon is waiting for us! Your powers will help us. [9.6.1.2.2] [1.P_ASH] We're so close to our goal... but we have to fight Tetradon! [9.6.1.3.1] [1.P_ULM] Tetradon is near... very near. We'll soon be face to face. [9.6.1.3.2] [1.P_ULM] The fight will be hard, but every fight has an end. [9.6.1.4.1] [1.P_ASH] We haven't the time! Lets go! [9.6.1.4.2] [1.P_ASH] But, what are you doing? We've got to hurry! [9.6.1.5.1] [1.P_ULM] Everything in its time, voyager. [9.6.1.5.2] [1.P_ULM] Is this really the moment? I doubt it. [9.6.1.6.1] [1.P_HG2A3] This is where it's happening! Nothing's going on down there! [9.6.1.6.2] [1.P_HG2A3] We're in control of the situation! Your turn to play! [9.6.1.7.1] [1.P_HG2A3] Put that away. You have a mission to accomplish, don't you? [9.6.1.7.2] [1.P_HG2A3] Later! [9.7.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] Ulmoreth! [9.7.1.1.2] [1.P_LOG] I've been waiting for you... I salute your courage for making it all the way to me... You think you're going to win this battle, don't you!? Think again! You're THROUGH! The rebels are through! You'll end up like Ulmoreth! [9.7.1.6.1] [1.P_LOG] I've warned you: You're finished! [9.7.1.7.1] [1.P_ULM] Look out for Tetradon, voyager. [9.7.1.8.1] [1.P_ASH] We must liberate Ulmoreth! [9.7.1.8.1] [2.P_HVI] First, we should take care of the robot! [9.7.1.8.1] [3.P_ASH] You're right! [9.7.2.2.1] [1.P_LOG] You think you're going to free the Sandpeople... but they're going to be free of YOU! You lose, voyager! [9.7.2.3.1] [1.P_HVI] The levers are stuck! [9.7.4.1.1] [1.P_LOG] You will answer for your acts, voyager... I'll see to it personally! [9.7.6.1.1] [1.P_LOG] You've only gained a little time... it's not over yet! [9.8.1.10.1] [1.P_ULM] You are very resourceful, voyager. Thank you for your help. [9.8.1.10.1] [2.P_HVI] It's nothing... Tetradon is a truly repugnant creature. [9.8.1.10.1] [3.P_ULM] He managed to get away. You have to find him. [9.8.1.10.2] [1.P_ULM] Logor Shar is going to do everything in his power, voyager. You must see that he fails. [9.8.1.11.1] [1.P_ASH] Tetradon mustn't get away from us! I'm counting on you Wells! [9.8.1.12.1] [1.P_HVI] The passageway is closed! [9.8.1.12.2] [1.P_HVI] I can't open the passageway! [9.8.2.1.1] [1.P_HVI] There's an inscription... “The memory of man belongs to the Sand God. Only the eyes of Khronos can look into the past.” [9.8.2.2.1] [1.P_SHCC] May the Eyes of Khronos nourish the Jad Garrûl and part the veils of the past! [9.8.2.3.1] [1.P_ASH] You can't get away like that, Wells! Stay with us! [9.8.2.3.2] [1.P_ASH] Tell me Wells... have you acquired a taste for prison? [9.9.1.1.1] [1.P_ULM] You are on the right path. The Sandpeople are hoping for the deliverance of their souls... but watch out for Tetradon's tricks! [9.9.1.3.1] [1.P_HVI] My spell isn't awakening the power of the Arch! [9.9.1.3.1] [2.P_ULM] That's because of Tetradon. He alone can activate the Arch... We have to liberate the Sandpeople's souls to stop the malediction! [9.9.1.5.1] [1.P_ULM] It's an artificial arch! Tetradon must have given up looking for the Coral Arch, and made one of his own... He wants to get to the Gates of Eternity too! [9.9.1.5.1] [2.P_HVI] There is something terrifying emanating from this arch... like an immense feeling of despair! [9.9.1.5.1] [3.P_ULM] Logor Shar has committed an unimaginable horror! The door he created is made of souls! Souls of the Sandpeople, souls of all who believed in him and who became Shekandars. [9.9.1.5.1] [4.P_HVI] But how is that possible? Do the Shekandars have no souls? [9.9.1.5.1] [5.P_ULM] Tetradon replaced the slaves' souls with Black Salt! The salt gems gradually devour the minds of those who eat them... leading them to a catastrophic destiny. [9.9.1.5.1] [6.P_HVI] That's horrible! But I ate some Black Salt too! Like all Chronomancers. [9.9.1.5.1] [7.P_ULM] You must nourish your Jad Garrûl. But don't be afraid, voyager. Your mind doesn't come from this time... It can't be affected by the venom of the salt. [9.9.1.6.1] [1.P_HVI] There's a... pyramid of ashes floating above the statue! [9.9.1.6.1] [2.P_ULM] These pyramids are the keys to the Arch's power... They're the souls of the Shekandars! But watch out, voyager! Some keys open the Gates of Suffering… [9.9.1.7.1] [1.P_ULM] We must go through this Arch! It leads to the Eternal Shores! [9.9.1.7.2] [1.P_ULM] You must awaken the power of the Arch, voyager! That way we can end what has been begun! [9.9.1.7.3] [1.P_ULM] You have to go through the Arch. [9.9.1.7.5] [1.P_ULM] Only you can solve the enigma. [10.1.1.2.1] [1.P_HVI] There is water underneath this motionless sea... like the water under banks of ice... [10.1.1.4.1] [1.P_ASH] Wells, we have to hurry... Tetradon mustn't get away from us! [10.1.1.5.1] [1.P_ASH] This place is so strange... it's as if time had been stopped, and was trying to start her wild race across the world again. And this ocean... it's motionless! [10.1.1.5.1] [2.P_HVI] I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who is amazed by the mysteries of the Sand World. [10.1.1.5.2] [1.P_ASH] We have to hurry! Logor Shar is surely preparing something. [10.1.1.6.1] [1.P_ULM] Can't you hear the rhythm of the sea? It beats like a drum in my brain. I must dive into the ocean to be in tune with it. Then I will awaken with a new conscience. [10.1.1.6.1] [2.P_HVI] Wherever you go, I wish you good luck, King Ulmoreth. [10.1.1.6.2] [1.P_ULM] Thank you for bringing me here, my friend. I hope that you too will reach the end of your journey. [10.1.1.7.1] [1.P_SIRB] You have kepted your half of the bargain, Herbert George Wells. It's my turn now to honor my word, and to give you the Key of Foam. It will open the Gates of Eternity, where Khronos is waiting. [10.1.1.7.1] [2.P_HVI] But how do I get to the gates? [10.1.1.7.1] [3.P_SIRB] Enter the light under the twin columns... but take heed: opening the Gates can be dangerous. You must choose carefully and not trust your Jad Garrûl. If you choose unwisely, you will be swallowed up by the Eternal Currents, and your body will not be able to fight them. The Gates of Eternity transform all who pass through them. [10.1.1.7.1] [4.P_HVI] I'll try to make the right choice, Thank you for your help. [10.1.1.7.1] [5.P_SIRB] You should know that there is no turning back from your voyage to the Sand God. Once you have passed through the twin columns, you can't come back. You will have to face the forces who battle for the control of the Void. [10.1.1.7.1] [6.P_HVI] I understand. But it's time that this adventure was over. I don't belong here, and an entire world is suffering because of me. I have to get back to my era, or disappear trying to. [10.1.1.7.1] [7.P_SIRB] The universe has been plunged into twilight. A new dawn could rise. It's up to you, Herbert George Wells. We will meet again... in another time. [10.1.1.8.1] [1.P_SIRB] Save your strength for the battles that await you. [10.1.1.8.3] [1.P_SIRB] You've played too many violent games. A round of Versailles will calm you down. [10.3.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] I'm sure Tetradon is near... We must de-harmonize him to preserve the future of the Sandpeople. [10.3.1.1.1] [2.P_HVI] Ashamira... Why are you coming with me? The mermaid said it's impossible to return! [10.3.1.1.1] [3.P_ASH] I won't abandon you, Wells! It's out of the question! Besides, I will finally discover if Khronos is a reality or a myth. [10.3.1.1.2] [1.P_ASH] Wells, I'd like to know... about the world you come from. What is it like? [10.3.1.1.2] [2.P_HVI] It is both simpler and more complicated than the Sand World. Industry and technology have done away with magic, and time follows a consistent course. It is a world made from trials and tears... but where hope leads men. I miss it terribly. [10.3.1.1.3] [1.P_ASH] You must open the Gates of Eternity. But watch out for Logor Shar. [10.3.1.3.1] [1.P_ASH] The mermaid said it could be dangerous to use it... Be careful, Wells. [10.3.2.2.1] [1.P_HVI] It looks like a well... I wonder where it goes! [10.3.2.2.1] [2.P_ASH] I think we must beware... It won't lead us to the Sanctuary of Khronos. [10.3.2.2.2] [1.P_ASH] This well gives me a bad feeling... [10.4.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] Wells! [10.4.1.1.2] [1.P_LOG] If you try anything, traveler, my Lemurs will delight in the Chief rebel's Sand. You know what I want: give me the Key! [10.4.1.1.2] [2.P_HVI] How did you get here? [10.4.1.1.2] [3.P_LOG] You 're not the only one who wants to get to the Sanctuary of Khronos. I discovered this cavern a long time ago, but I didn't have the benefit of the mermaid's help. Give me back the Key, and I'll set Ashamira free. [10.4.1.2.1] [1.P_HVI] All right, you win. But if you go through the Gates of Eternity, Khronos will destroy you. [10.4.1.2.1] [2.P_LOG] Allow me to differ, Vissahid. The Void is stronger than Time. [10.4.1.3.1] [1.P_LOG] You can de-harmonize me. It's your last chance: give me the Key. [10.4.1.3.2] [1.P_LOG] I thought you were more clever than that, voyager. If you don't give up, you'll both be lost! [10.4.1.4.1] [1.P_LOG] You asked for it! I'll find another way to open the Gates. [10.4.1.5.1] [1.P_LOG] Make up your mind, traveler. Give me the key, and I'll set her free. But this is not an unlimited offer. [10.4.1.7.1] [1.P_LOG] I have no time to talk to you. Give me what I want. [10.4.1.8.1] [1.P_ASH] The phantoms! They can take my Sand! Use your powers, Wells! [10.4.1.8.2] [1.P_ASH] Help me, Wells! [10.4.1.12.1] [1.P_LOG] If you defy me, voyager, you'll pay the consequences. [10.4.2.1.1] [1.P_ASH] I have to free Ulmoreth... salvation of my people. But where is he? What is this strange place? [10.4.2.1.1] [2.P_HVI] She's lost her memory! [10.4.2.2.1] [1.P_ASH] I remember... The Lemurs! They de-harmonized me! Something reminded me... Forgive me, Wells. I wasn't on top of the situation. [10.4.2.2.1] [2.P_HVI] You've nothing to be sorry for, Ashamira. Everyone has his demons. You've just met yours. [10.4.2.3.1] [1.P_ASH] The King has disappeared... I have to find him so that he can lead his people again. [10.4.2.3.1] [2.P_HVI] It's not working! Ashamira must be neutralizing the power of the Salt. [10.4.2.4.1] [1.P_ASH] Who are you? You're not the King! Can you help me find... Ulmoreth? [10.4.2.4.1] [2.P_HVI] How can we get her back her memory? [10.4.2.4.2] [1.P_ASH] Take me to Ulmoreth - it's very important. [10.4.2.5.1] [1.P_ASH] Logor Shar was destroyed by the universal ocean. You have to open the Gates of Eternity. I hope you know what you're doing. If you fail, you'll pay a heavy price for it. [10.4.2.5.1] [2.P_HVI] I hope that Khronos will guide my arm... [10.4.2.5.3] [1.P_ASH] Be brave, Wells. [10.4.2.6.1] [1.P_ASH] I trust you, Wells. Use the Key of Foam. [10.4.2.7.1] [1.P_ASH] I don't think this will open the Gates. [10.5.1.1.1] [1.P_LOG] I'm going to keep my promise and liberate you... from the weight of your memory. Spectres! Their Sand is yours! [10.5.1.1.2] [1.P_LOG] Ahhh! Eternity... is de-harmonizing me... The Ocean is carrying away the Sand… [10.7.1.4.1] [1.P_HVI] NOOOO!!! [10.8.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] Wells! You succeeded! [10.8.1.1.2] [1.P_HVI] Khronos... I hope you're worth it! [10.8.1.1.3] [1.P_HEX] This adventure makes me feel thirty years younger! [10.8.1.2.1] [1.P_HVI] Thank God I didn't make a mistake! [10.8.1.2.2] [1.P_HEX] Herbert - here you are back where you started. [11.1.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] Wells, you've gone back to looking like an Adhamid! [11.1.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] It must be the effect of the Gates of Eternity. I had better look my best to meet the God of Time! [11.1.1.1.1] [3.P_ASH] But... where are we? These machines look like the ones in the monastery! [11.1.1.1.1] [4.P_HEX] We are in the heart of the vortex... in my laboratory! [11.1.1.1.2] [1.P_ASH] This shape which is imprisoned in the immobile Water... is the heart of my universe! [11.1.1.1.2] [2.P_HEX] The Chronoeider is the cause of everything. And I invented it! [11.1.1.1.2] [3.P_ASH] What did you say? That's impossible! [11.1.1.1.2] [4.P_HEX] But it is the truth, Ashamira. [11.1.1.1.3] [1.P_ASH] I can't believe it! [11.1.1.2.1] [1.P_ASH] The Lemurs! I remember now... they de-harmonized me! I'm sorry, Wells. I have acted like a terrible fool! [11.1.1.2.1] [2.P_HEX] No one is infallible, Ashamira. You've nothing to be sorry for. [11.1.1.3.1] [1.P_ASH] The King... I must find the King. [11.1.1.3.1] [2.P_HEX] Dash it! It seems that the Salt has no effect! [11.1.1.4.1] [1.P_ASH] What is this place? Is the King here? I must... free him… [11.1.1.4.2] [1.P_ASH] You're not the King... where is he? [11.1.1.5.1] [1.P_ASH] I don't need that. [11.1.1.7.1] [1.P_HEX] The clock that let me pick up the rhythm of time! Its quartz hand is infinitely precise! [11.1.1.7.2] [1.P_HEX] The quartz clock - it's stopped. [11.1.1.8.1] [1.P_HEX] The plans for my Time Machine... if only I had known my invention would upset the future! My curiosity would probably still have been too strong… [11.2.1.1.1] [1.P_TLE] I'M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU WELLS!!! EVEN ETERNITY CANNOT DESTROY ME! [11.2.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] Logor Shar? [11.2.1.1.1] [3.P_TLE] SO THIS IS THE SANCTUARY OF KHRONOS! I AM NOW READY TO BECOME THE NEW MASTER OF TIME! BUT FIRST... I WILL TAKE YOUR SAND! [11.2.1.2.1] [1.P_LOG] So here is where Khronos hides! His sanctuary will soon belong to me... but first I shall get rid of you, voyager! [11.3.1.5.1] [1.P_HEX] It's amazing... It seems as if this Chronoeider is alive. Like a heart beating in the center of the universe! [11.3.1.7.1] [1.P_TLE] AHHH... THE VOID... THE VOID IS SWALLOWING UP MY SOUL! [11.3.1.8.1] [1.P_LOG] Aahhh! The void is swallowing me up. A curse be on Khronos! [11.3.2.1.1] [1.P_HEX] The quartz! The Lemur's downfall! [11.4.1.1.1] [1.P_VKH] THE NAUTILUS GUIDES THE VOYAGER THROUGH TIME... YOUR VOYAGE IS OVER. WELCOME TO MY SANCTUARY, HERBERT GEORGE WELLS! [11.4.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] My Lord... are you Khronos? [11.4.1.1.1] [3.P_VKH] THAT IS ONE OF THE NAMES I AM CALLED. DO YOU APPRECIATE THE HELP THE NAUTILUS GAVE YOU? THAT IS WHAT LED YOU TO ME. [11.4.1.1.1] [4.P_HEX] But why? Why did you let me go? Now it's my fault that the universe is in danger! [11.4.1.1.1] [5.P_VKH] I COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED YOU - YOU ARE TOO CURIOUS. I NEED YOU, HERBERT GEORGE WELLS. THE SAND WORLD IS DOOMED. THE SEA OF ETERNITY WILL GO BACK TO THE UNIVERSAL OCEAN AND TAKE ALL PAST AND FUTURE UNIVERSES WITH IT. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP THIS. [11.4.1.1.1] [6.P_HEX] But how? My machine has disappeared. And the Chronoeider has gone out of control! [11.4.1.1.1] [7.P_VKH] YOUR TIME MACHINE IS VERY NEAR. IT IS FLOATING ON THE SURFACE OF THE UNIVERSAL OCEAN. YOU MUST GO TO IT WITH THE CHRONOEIDER AND LEAVE FOR THE XIXth CENTURY. THUS YOU WILL SPARE THE UNIVERSE. BUT THE SAND WORLD AND ITS INHABITANTS ARE LOST... [11.4.1.1.1] [8.P_HEX] You are Khronos, the Sand God - the Master of Time. Use your powers to liberate the Chronoeider. You are a God! I am a mere mortal! [11.4.1.1.1] [9.P_VKH] YOU ARE MISTAKEN. I AM NOT A GOD; I AM A SLAVE. A HELPLESS SLAVE TO THE HEART OF THE VORTEX - WHICH I CREATED WITH MY OWN HANDS. [11.4.1.2.2] [1.P_ASH] Thanks to you Wells, the Sand world is finally free of Tetradon! [11.4.1.2.2] [2.P_HEX] He should never have gone through the Gates of Eternity... that was his downfall. [11.4.1.2.5] [1.P_ASH] I wasn't sure the Sand God existed... but this place is illuminated by his presence! [11.4.1.4.1] [1.P_ASH] I don't believe it... Khronos is here... and he has your face! [11.4.1.4.3] [1.P_ASH] Wells, I don't understand what's happening... Am I condemned to disappear? [11.4.2.3.1] [1.P_KHR] Do you recognize me? I've been here for a long time... but we both know that Time has many faces... [11.4.2.3.1] [2.P_HEX] I... It's unbelievable! You... You're… [11.4.2.3.1] [3.P_KHR] I am Herbert George Wells. I invented the Chronoeider and constructed a Time Machine. I took off for the future, and landed here. We are the same person. [11.4.2.3.1] [4.P_HEX] How is that possible? I mean... what happened? [11.4.2.3.1] [5.P_KHR] At the end of my journey, I was back in my laboratory, and the machine had disappeared. The Chronoeider had left its quartz cage to rest in a column of still Water. It was beating like a man's heart., and the sound of it echoed like metal chains around my mind. I was its prisoner. And the Sea of Eternity surrounded the Sanctuary like a fortress. [11.4.2.3.1] [6.P_HEX] That's dreadful! [11.4.2.3.1] [7.P_KHR] Well, I managed to escape. I built a diving armor and crossed the Eternal Waters. When I got to shore, I explored the Sand World. I helped the Sandpeople who came to me to resist the power of the Wave thanks to the Black Salt. Then I met the Mermaids... before becoming a prisoner of the Chronoeider once and for all. [11.4.2.3.1] [8.P_HEX] The Mermaids of Time! I spoke to one of those creatures. [11.4.2.3.1] [9.P_KHR] They taught me the terrible truth. All the people in the Sand World only form one person. The Sandmen become Shekandars, and then they themselves transform into Lemurs... then those specters once again become Sandpeople. There is no future, only an eternal present. We wanted to make humanity progress Wells, but all we succeeded in doing is to lock them into this darkness forever. [11.4.2.3.1] [10.P_HEX] I can't believe it! [11.4.2.3.1] [11.P_KHR] That's the terrible truth! Returning to the XIXth century could erase our mistake. The Time machine is our only hope. We're the only ones who can make it function. I'm a prisoner here, held by the Chronoeider which is draining my strength. That's why I called on you. You must liberate the Chronoeider and get to the machine. [11.5.1.2.1] [1.P_HEX] How can I get to the machine? And how can I liberate the Chronoeider? [11.5.1.2.1] [2.P_KHR] When the Sea of Eternity returns to the Ocean, let yourself be carried by it... No one doubts that you will make it to the machine. As for the Chronoeider - that's another story… it is slowly dying, but it may not appreciate your intentions. [11.5.1.2.1] [3.P_HEX] I see that you are the same shoddy kind of optimist I am! [11.5.1.2.3] [1.P_KHR] You must break the ties that keep the Chronoeider here. [11.5.1.3.1] [1.P_ASH] I think I knew... Somewhere deep inside me I felt it, but I didn't want to believe it was true. My world is coming to an end. You must do what has to be done, whatever the consequences are. [11.5.1.3.1] [2.P_HEX] Ashamira... [11.5.1.3.1] [3.P_ASH] Please don't say anything, Wells... [11.5.1.3.2] [1.P_ASH] You alone can prevent the death of the universe, Wells. [11.5.1.4.1] [1.P_KHR] Don't hesitate! The Universe could be saved if I die! [11.5.1.5.1] [1.P_KHR] May life be good to you, my friend. [11.5.1.6.1] [1.P_KHR] You have to de-harmonize me. My death will destroy the bonds that keep the Chronoeider in the heart of the vortex. That way it will be liberated and you can reach the Time Machine but you must hurry - You cannot resist the pull of the void. [11.5.1.6.2] [1.P_KHR] There is no other way. Use your powers. [11.5.1.7.1] [1.P_ASH] It's horrible. You must end your own life. But that is the price of salvation for the world. [11.5.1.7.2] [1.P_ASH] You mustn't fail, Wells. [11.6.1.1.1] [1.P_ASH] Ulmoreth... the musician King... I shall meet him in Eternity. [11.6.1.1.2] [1.P_HEX] Ashamira! Come with me! We still have a chance… [11.6.1.1.2] [2.P_ASH] It's too late... We didn't have enough time. I shall never forget you, Herbert George Wells. Wherever I go, I shall wait for you. [11.6.1.2.1] [1.P_HEX] The Void... May all the Gods forgive me! [11.7.1.1.1] [1.P_HEX] London winters have always been magical for me... Covered in snow, the city appears to be at rest in an eternal sleep... a lovely image… but nothing is eternal. [11.7.1.1.1] [2.P_HEX] Time has passed. All I was certain of has... faded away. Today I believe my journey was a mistake. Man's hope lies within himself. Science mustn't permit man to dominate Nature. Man must first understand his own nature before trying to control the Nature around him. [11.7.1.1.1] [3.P_HEX] The machine is only a memory now, but this memory holds valuable information, and mustn't be forgotten. Which is why I've decided to explore other areas... such as writing. I won't try to put down my experience, but I will attempt to warn my readers of the darkness which awaits us all. [11.7.1.1.1] [4.P_HEX] Ashamira's face still haunts me. And sometimes I catch myself dreaming... what if time never ends?
