This book... It holds so many messages, from different people. But I don't understand. I am in a forest, yet I don't recall how I got here. And I have wings. My muscles ache and my mind is completely disoriented.

I remember being on the verge of death. I remember the flames. I remember the screams. ... Jade... Saphir...

Can someone please explain the situation to me, or tell me where I am? I need to go find my students.

Only in this place, though we haven't spoken for some time. He did speak rather highly of you.

Did he? I am glad he still remembers his old teacher after all these years. It was quite a surprise to see him so... mature.

[wise_maiden]

He must be thrilled.

That's right, you aren't quite from the same timeline, are you? It must be a shock.

When I last saw him, he was still a young boy. Though it is hard to imagine that this man is my Saphir, I can certainly see the resemblance.

Does such a thing happen often, here?

[wise_maiden]

To be honest, I still need to work on gathering the various information about the other ... residents, seeing how many are from a certain 'world', and then divide that to see how often it occurs...

Though I suppose it occurs often enough for people to be aware of it...

It sounds like you are doing some extremely fascinating research. Perhaps the entire populace of Luceti can benefit from the results. I would enjoy lending you a hand, once I recover.

... Ah, might you be professor Sage?

[wise_maiden]

I'm afraid I need to do some more recovering myself, before I can really give it the proper consideration it deserves... so the assistance would be appreciated, truly.

Oh, yes, I am... I apologize, I should have introduced myself sooner.

Oh, of course. Lloyd told me you were attacked by a monster in the forest. I certainly hope those creatures aren't indigenous to this world. All the weakened new arrivals would be an easy target.

It is a pleasure to meet you, professor Sage. Let us work together to enlighten the younger minds in Luceti.

[wise_maiden]

... Oh. Yes.

I haven't been here very long myself, though it was brought to my attention that the monsters were only inserted by the Malnosso to further complicate ... an already complicated situation, and typically the forest creatures are harmless animals. I apologize for the lack of details, but I don't want to overwhelm you too much in your first few hours here.

... Indeed, it is a pleasure to meet you as well, Professor. Just Raine is fine.

That is quite alright. I am certain I will learn enough about Luceti and its customs in due time. Though I believe that, for now, I will spend the next few days in a cosy chair, in hopes of getting used to these wings.

Very well. Then, you may call me Gelda.

[wise_maiden]

The pain normally fades within a couple of days. I hope you were able to get to a safe location?

Very well.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. A nice young girl named Chrome is allowing me to stay at her house. She's living there all alone, so I will keep her company for a while.

[wise_maiden]

I see, that's good to hear.

I'll stop distracting you, then, so that you might have a chance to settle in a bit and get some rest.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you.

I hope to speak with you again some day soon, Raine.

[wise_maiden]

I look forward to it as well.
