Don't worry, those guys are gone for good now. They won't be following us anymore.

These crystals never stop growing. They may block the entrance, but they also make sure nobody breaks the stuff inside. It's all really well-preserved.

You better hold on tight to your jaws. Don't let 'em drop.
The girl gingerly wedges the two halves of the thick, heavy disc into the altar in the middle of the ancient witnessing chamber, every protrusion on its surface corresponding to a depression in the chassis.
After completing this placement, the girl gently pushes the disc counterclockwise in an almost effortless manner.
Even this tiny amount of force is enough to make the disc spin rapidly, the shaking of the ground from the disc's rotations palpable beneath your feet.
After many years of silence, this witnessing chamber is re-energized once more. Clear water gradually fills the pool, rays of light flow through crystalline stone, and the tremors beneath your feet become ever more evident.
Finally, the shaking stops, and the countless rays of light converge into the middle of the pool to sculpt a tall figure.
- Voice Within the Light and Shadow
You... have... come.
- Pepe
Padishah Efendim...
- Pepe
Please forgive me for defiling this sacred place.
- Voice Within the Light and Shadow
You have sought me. You have fulfilled your promise.
- Voice Within the Light and Shadow
And so I shall honor mine, and hide the key within the timestream.
- Voice Within the Light and Shadow
It shall guide you to that place, to all the wonders I wish to bestow upon your progeny.
- Voice Within the Light and Shadow
May I, until the end of time, glimpse your countenance through their faces.
The man's figure fades away, the light and shadow shifting into a small canyon in the pool.
In what feels like only a few dozen seconds, the land rises and reforms, rivers change course, trees in the canyon grow and then wither rapidly, and everything warps beyond recognition through the erosion of time's passage.

I'm sorry, travelers, but our journey together ends here. I'm glad we met, and I hope I can travel with you again.
- Pepe
You saw?
- Pepe
I heard from the liaison officer that Rhodes Island is searching for ways to defeat the armies of the lords ameer. With all the smart people there, I figured they could probably help me.
- Pepe
This is my gift. Take it to a local Messenger, they'll be able to get you some help.
- Pepe
Yes. I am getting close to the answer. I have to stay here to continue my search.
- Pepe
I won't give up.
- Pepe
It's my obsession. Mine, and my entire line's.
- Pepe
I'm glad to spend time on it.
- Pepe
May we meet again.
