Alexander: "He puts Starmian on the ground. 'Y-yes.'"

Brennan: "Will you flee?"

Alexander: "...would it help?"

Brennan: [Chuckling] "'You are tired. From carrying yourself?' And you see both of the little kids turn to look up at you in this moment, who have ben riding your back for days. 'It is your own weight--or the weight of another--that has tired you so?"

Alexnder: "He looks down at the kids."

Brennan: "'That is what strength is for...We are leaving. Forever.'"

Alexander: "'Okay.'"

Brennan: "'You witness the final miracles...You will need to be strong. You will need to stand, and lift up those who cannot life up theirselves. Our age of doing so is at an end. I hope you will be strong.' ...As the mist clears at your feet, you see there is a thick leather belt, with two clasps of dragon ivory at the buckle, on the ground, at your feet."

Alexander: "I pick it up. 'Belt...Is that a god? Wild.'"
