From Athena's Notes:
Looking back on how the world turned out, this could have been disasterous. At any point, any of my comrades could have given up on their journey and the world would be... Well, gone. We were all still teens back then; I'd seen some of us go insane, others go suicidal, this list goes on. Though no casualties occured, I see many places where the only thing keeping us from comitting murder was sheer will power. True, the world had to leave its Fate to teenagers, for the evil trying to strike out against had to strike early... I suppose I should revist some of those memories, but to anyone reading this, they wouldn't have a clue what I was saying without a little backstory... Ah, I love a backstory. It's like a Prolouge.
