===Start===
Faust
: Siegfried said that this place is guarded by an immortal bird, a divine creature who symbolizes rebirth. It reigns over and protects this land and all of its inhabitants, creating an ecosystem unlike that seen anywhere else in the world. There are strange sights to see during journey through these ruins—it appears that many of the animals that live here are cloaked in some sort of perpetual fire.
: His immersion in these unique, sometimes frightening surroundings revitalizes Faust, his curiosity spurring him on to learn more.
: "Bathing in the flames of this majestic bird is said to bestow the gift of eternal life..." Faust muses to himself, part of him wishing that Siegfried had accompanied him so that he might have someone else to share his insight with. In any case, he is not interested in eternal life; he is far more enticed by the secret of eternal flame.
: Over the course of his journey, he had learned one thing: that behind every force or power, there is a key principle. It would be no different with the power of eternal life, he reasoned. Unlocking its secret could bring him closer to the Eternal Truth he sought.
: "I've come so far, haven't I? It simply wouldn't do at this stage to go back with nothing! I should go take a look—just in case!" Faust convinces himself with a quick pep talk, squares his shoulders, and heads up the mountain.
