1. From the sacred scrolls

And those that had not boarded the Galleon sealed and left the Tomb of Athena. For the Lord Architect who was Xanthi had come to them, and he had to told them to leave the Tomb, for it was unsafe. And on that day, the people learned how Zeus had cheated Xanthi. For it was Xanthi, not Zeus, who had shaped the City of the Gods. And the people believed him, for he was a kind soul. And on that day, Xanthi led them to a second great ship, the Frigate , unknown even to Zeus. For Xanthi refused to leave any behind.

And Zeus became enraged, for many had been sacrificed to send the first great ship to the stars. And he stripped Xanthi of his immortality and powers, greatly wounding him. But the Lord Architect recovered and lead the people into the great ship. And they took with them the Arrow of Apollo, the instructions to open the Tomb and a warning from Zeus. For Zeus told them that any return to Kobol would bare a price in blood. And the great ship left Kobol. And they followed the trail of the Galleon for many years. And many died during the journey. And Zeus took pity on them. For he could no longer watch the suffering of the people. And he restored Xanthi's immortality. And Xanthi led the people to Twelve Colonies of Man. And he was rewarded, for he was allowed to rejoin the Lords of Kobol. And all rejoiced, for they had reached the promised land. And Xanthi left with Gods.
