"That reminds me. I was curious about your
 book."

<name "Ekate" "!FA0181">
"Yes?"
#
<name "Darx">
"If you don't know how to read it, you can't,
 right?"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
You have to feel the book's heartbeat.
#
If you try to read it normally, the words are
just gibberish.
#
But once you can feel it beating, the meaning
of the words appears straight in your head.
#
It tells you about Ekate's Pact, where to find
her, and how far away she is.
#
Basically, if you can read the book, you can
very easily capture her.
#
But just having the book doesn't mean that you
can feel its pulse.
#
They'd just open it up and focus on what's
written, not on the book itself.

"But it's written in a really old language.
 If someone understands it, it's really not
 that weird that they'd be able to read it."
#
<name "Darx">
"Really?"
#
<name "Ekate" "!FA0184">
"Yes. The language is from a kingdom that died
 a very long time ago. Reading it by feeling
 the pulse is like a trick to keep humans who
 don't know the language from understanding."
#

Did Roger know this dead language then?
#
No. He's smart, but he's not a scholar like
that.
#
Hmmm.
#
This bothers me a little.
