I’m sincerely sorry for leaving on such quick discover. I’m grateful to your assist alongside the way in which, but it surely’s a pity that I can’t hold working along with you.
Jinwu, please don’t really feel upset about my departure. I belief that amongst all of the unbecoming and foolhardy younger adventurers that you’ve got sorted, I’m however one hopeless idiot. I hope that I’ve not been a giant headache for you and that though I’ve left, I’ve left you with all good reminiscences. If I ever had any household, you’ll be the one dearest to me… There are such a lot of tales that I’ve not but had time to share with you. All I can do is go away some half-finished names on the map. It’s a disgrace that it was performed haphazardly, and I didn’t get to hold out a lot background analysis or better-sounding names for you and the others. Anyway, thanks for taking good care of me, however I choose adventuring alone to being sorted by my seniors.
Mr. Khedive, please forgive my willfulness. I perceive that you’ve got your considerations. Possibly it’s similar to you stated – the secrets and techniques hidden within the depths of The Chasm are past mere mortals. Possibly that’s the reason the exploration took a toll on me, as I’m not blessed with a Imaginative and prescient… However nonetheless, I can’t assist questioning if these famed adventurers like Leonard, Stanley, and Roald have ever witnessed the identical marvel as I – the stone halls of outdated crawling into the darkness, the dark-purple mud gushing out like lava, the translucent, azure maps of historic locations, and so many different indescribable wonders… Would these nice adventurers have backed out for concern of hazard, or would they’ve acted as recklessly as I, persisting in pursuing the inscrutable secrets and techniques of the world – even on the worth of their frequent and less-dignified lives? Mr. Khedive, as a scholar and a mere mortal like me, what would your selection be in such a circumstance?
Clitopho, please settle for my apology for my earlier mistrust and willfulness. I shouldn’t have it in for you – regardless of your annoyingly sneaky methods, Treasure Hoarder background, impoliteness to Jinwu, lack of hygiene consciousness when making drinks, full disregard for the protection rules of the Ministry, and reluctance to heed our warnings regardless of the situation… Regardless of all of your faults, I don’t suppose they matter to me. As your buddy, I remorse not assembly you earlier.

In historic occasions when heroes and Yakshas fought alongside Rex Lapis, colossal boulders have been halved to type the mountains, and large rocks have been forged from the skies to create seabeds. What was the place of the mere mortals like us – whom the gods had neither observed nor acknowledged? What are our mundane loves and hatreds, mundane happiness and tragedies, mundane achievements and accomplishments, mundane bonds and relationships… Are all these simply one thing of no consequence within the eyes of the gods? Are historic gods’ dwellings and people unfathomable scenes far past the attain of commonplace human braveness?
It could appear disrespectful to ask these questions when Rex Lapis has simply left us… However in contrast with the chosen ones who’ve gained the gods’ blessings by likelihood, what are we mere mortals unnoticed by the gods to make of ourselves? We’ve got additionally obtained goals by likelihood and hold pursuing them all through our busy, bustling lives… We don’t need to be forgotten, and for that, we try exhausting to make even the slightest distinction or dangle robust by laborious work on daily basis with the braveness of an atypical human… Are all these acts of no that means? Consider these herb gatherers who dangle from the highest of the cliffs, miners who work day in and day trip regardless of the potential menace of earthquakes, and staff who drive each nail into an enormous ship a number of flooring in peak… If their exhausting work is dismissed as mundane and unworthy of remembrance, I can’t assist however query the gods’ logic to favor a few of our needs and dignities over others.
With such questions in thoughts, I observe you into the uncertainty and hazard within the depths of The Chasm, pushing my restrict as a mortal. I wouldn’t say that I’ve “conquered” or “explored” the world, however I hope I can a minimum of put The Chasm into the map I drew and edited. I need to mark the locations I’ve been to and the various sceneries in The Chasm with names that belong to mortals and me. For lack of a better resolution, I consider that is the one technique to encourage those that come after me. I need to inform them how far somebody the gods didn’t select can go and what tales she could go away behind.
Please fear not for me. My journey has solely simply begun. As soon as I’m performed taking a breather, I’ll march deeper in. Thanks for serving to me clear the trail forward. I’ll proceed venturing into the depths of The Chasm till my power fails me. Good luck, my fellow teammates. I hope we will meet once more on our journeys shortly.
