Remember, way back in the beginning, when I told you that this world is closer to yours than you could ever imagine? Well... You're probably about to realize just how close it really is. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to calm the rushing sequence of events down. Pieces of the universe that I've ignored for centuries are back where I have to pay attention to them again. Meta Knight is feeling things that I'd hoped would go unfelt. Sakura has remembered things that I had hoped would go unremembered. Galacta Knight has disappeared yet again, for better or for worse. I don't know how to fix things. It might already be too late to fix things. I need someone to help me. I can't keep doing this. I can't keep being the only Ancient. I need someone else who can help me carry some of this burden, someone else who can help me take care of this world. Things are already a mess, but I can feel the coming evil. Something horrible is stirring deep within the world I run. Something wicked. Something that's already brought about the end of one world. 01010011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01110100 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101101 01100001 01100100 01100101 00101110 I'm sorry.
