"The Book of Never Saying Goodbye"

The book's pages are empty, but upon opening it, you see... Linzi. The daring bard is lying on the cold floor of the House at the Edge of Time, marking the last moments of her life. There's a flash of darkness, and then... strange feelings fill your soul. "The cover grows heavy. The pages rustle. My voice and the words — the words are now me, and I am the words. What is happening to me? Who am I?" You feel Linzi's astonishment, then understanding, and then sorrow, sweet sorrow. "The life I know is past. Gone with all its plans and hopes. But this is a new life. The adventure will not end. The story does not end. And what I have lost, I have not lost in vain!"
