What you are about to read is all true, presented as objectively as I am capable. Though others may tell the tale differently, I bore closest witness to the events that transpired in the days following the ascent of Ys to the heavens. All of us, knight and sorcerer alike, did what we could to wrench our home from the grasp of the demon army. The threat remains, however, as long as those who would seek mastery of the Pearl still dwell upon the land. But heed, ye who read these words. Those who use the powers of demons shall one day be consumed by them. The prosperity held within is a lie. It is he who leads that shapes the form of 'evil.' All that is, jewel and adamant alike, is a treasure of Ys, as given us by our merciful Goddesses.
