“Now I understand.. Endings and beginnings are within the fissure. That riven cleft of stars that acts as both a wall and a bridge. And though I am unable to understand the flow of stars that brought my Myst book into worthy hooves, I am sure, served as a safe passage for my friend. The age of Riven is closed forever.. But the people of riven are free. and now I am at rest. Understanding that in books, and ages.. And life.. The ending can never truly be written.”
 
With the exception of the word “hooves” this is the happy ending speech when you beat Riven, the second game in the Myst series. This one took me about 2.5 hours, using ink, brushes, watercolours and white gouache.
