New stories are always forming along the edges of shadowed remembrances. Our story so far is of players whose dedication to their pathways blazes trails that the youth fear to tread. Players from eight to eighty walk the paths of stone and steel, bearing each others' burdens on their individual paths to greatness.

Nine times the paths have crossed,
Eight times the banners lost.
Seven times the clock has chimed
Six times heroes arrived in time
Five times the Prism forms a bond
Four time have the heroes won
Three times now the Crystals shine
Twice before three Suns aligned
This time, the clock will finally stop
