"Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has raised finally her army.
Apeiron, King of Light, beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet.
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall
Power-- all now to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon."
- Preface of the Epitaph of the Twilight, from the .hack//AI buster manga novel. Also seen in the beginning of the .hack//INFECTION video game when you first start anew.
