the elementum chronicles
book one: tenebrae
prologue
"I have seen you three standing outside the temple, sometimes, simply gazing up at the statues.
Your eyes tell me of your origin. You're not of Celestic, as everyone thinks. You're Ayumu children.
I would know, as I am one too.
As of this, and the aura inside of you all, we've decided to trust you.
There's not much time.
You have to go find the book. It's hidden in the darkest shadows of Sinnoh, and can only be discovered by the light of the new moon on the sixteenth month.
Find it. Take it, read it and learn everything you can from it. Once you have, put it somewhere safe in another region for the next person to find it, and then find us.
We need your help.
Lapis is dead. Heart is in a coma. Topaz is hallucinating. The Dex Holders have been betrayed.
Burn this."
