Jinhsi: “Speaking of which, you seem to have already gathered a lot from the tokens.”

Rover: “The mangosteen points to how people lived through the wars in Jinzhou. The sugar pearl points to past epidemics and disasters. The leaf points to the Fracsidus. The sundial points to when and where we are meeting.”

Jinhsi: “Impressive, Rover.”

Rover: “And I learned more about my identity as I deciphered the tokens.”

Jinhsi: “The threat Jinzhou is facing is far worse than meets the eye. One of the Threnodians will soon be reawakened…”

Rover: “What are the Threnodians?”

Jinhsi: “They are the enemies of human civilizations, born from the dark side of our collective consciousness. We must defeat them to protect all of humanity. We have been doing our best to prevent the disaster, but the Fractsidus is accelerating the Threnodian’s revival.”

Rover: “And it has something to do with me, yes?”

Jinhsi: “Indeed. You have defeated the Crownless and absorbed its Echo with your bare hands. It is the Tacet Discord that embodies the concept of warfare. Resentment of the fallen, fright of the ignoble… Those are the emotions that laid grounds for its birth. The Crownless is a Tacet Discord that possesses powers from the reviving Threnodian. Jinzhou is a border city with an unbreakable will and strong spirit of resistance. However, we also fear the constant wars and loss of life, and the Threnodian can prey on that. You, however… You were able to defeat and absorb a Threnodian-related Tacet Discord with your bare hands, and resonate with other TDs. Meanwhile, Huanglong’s records mention a hero with similar powers who saved our nation during the Threnodian War. She is also mentioned in literature dating back to Jinzhou’s establishment. To uncover your true identity, this could be a helpful lead to pursue.”

Rover: “You believe that person and I could be related in some way?”

Jinhsi: “Yes. Based on my own deduction, and the prophecies of Jué.”

Rover: “Jué… In the Gorges of Spirits…”

Jinhsi: ”You mean… The unfinished statue of Jué?”

Rover: “I remembered something when I saw it… But I’m not sure if that really happened.”

Jinhsi: “I see. Do you mind letting me know what you remembered? Since it’s related to our Sentinel, I might be able to help.”

You told Jinhsi about all the bits and pieces of memories you could remember.

Jinhsi: “Rover, the memories of which you speak…”

Rover: “Yes? Anything worth noting about them?”

Jinhsi: “As I mentioned earlier, I can resonate with Jué, our Sentinel. Your recollections… They align with what I’ve witnessed in Jué’s memories. Yes, I do remember seeing something similar… I believe it had truly happened in the past.”

Rover: “In other words…”
