Second Restoration - Act 1: Mysterious Journal Entry

~:O:~

It has been so long since my thoughts dwelled on the Journey of World Regeneration undertaken by the final Chosen of Mana, Collete Brunel. I look back now after so many years and realize, despite all of my professed learning, I still had so much to discover for myself. As for the ones who revealed the unknown to me, I shall forevermore be eternally thankful for their tutelage.

I learned so much, including the following saying:

'The gaining of knowledge is never wasteful.'

The path I found myself walking on unearthed many revelations, including he who would alter the course of my life forever. The words I set down upon paper and impart to you are the culmination of a vow I swore to uphold during the course of my travels. As for the being I pledged myself in service to, you shall have to find out for yourself.

Are the events mentioned in the entirety of this lengthy Chronicle true? Questions are welling up in your mind, as they did in mine. Only you, the one reading these words can decide if the happenings recorded within are falsehood or crystal clear truth.
