So now you know how the Four were brought together, and that there are no such things as Giants. I think that’s enough for now. We can’t spend all of our time in the past. You need to keep this fire going and find something to eat. All I ask is that you don’t consign this book to the flames to warm your hands. Instead, perhaps you could be kind enough to leave this where others may find it, so they may also read this tale.
And remember, all of these events happened in these dusty streets around you, in this dead city. I know because I was there, watching. But then why trust me? You don’t even know who I am. Perhaps you’re curious about that, though in the company of those such as the Four, it seems an indulgence to tell you about someone as insignificant as I.
Of course, the story of the Four is far from over. I haven’t had the chance to tell you about how Erin discovered her own remarkable abilities, and how Eve’s talent for opening locked doors in the Unders was only a tiny part of her potential. And it doesn’t end there for Titus either, who, having found his sister at last, turned his intellect towards discovering what bound the Four together and why they were different. Let’s not forget Zane, and how he learnt that sometimes his healing wasn’t enough to save loved ones. They don’t talk about these things in the stories you’ve heard, do they?
If you want to learn what really happened, Joshua’s part in all this, and how a father’s death led to the crowning of the King, then look around you for another book containing the same handwriting as this one. I haven’t forgotten what I promised to tell you. Heavens! You didn’t think you would find all that crammed into this one little book, did you?
