The Song of Pelinal
Volume 8: On His Revelation at the Death of the Al-Esh
[Editor's Note: This is the oldest and most fragmentary of all the extant Pelinal texts. It is, however, likely closest to the original spoken or sung form of the Song, and therefore has great value despite its brevity. Strangely, it appears that Pelinal is present at Alessia's deathbed, although he was killed by Umaril earlier in the saga (years before Alessia's death). Some scholars believe that this fragment is not actually a part of the Song of Pelinal, but most accept its authenticity although there is still much debate as to its significance.]
"... and left you to gather sinew with my other half, who will bring light thereby to that mortal idea that brings [the Gods] great joy, that is, freedom, which even the Heavens do not truly know, [which is] why our Father, the... [Text lost]... in those first [days/spirits/swirls] before Convention... that which we echoed in our earthly madness. [Let us] now take you Up. We will [show] our true faces... [which eat] one another in amnesia each Age."
Pelinalの歌
Volume8: Al-Eshの死に対する彼の暴露
[編集者後記:これは断片的ではあるがPelinalの現存する最古の物である、従って歌の原型に最も近いと言えるだろう、非常に短いがその点で素晴らしい価値を持っている。奇妙なことだが、PelinalがAlessiaの死の直前に生きているように思える、しかし彼はAlessiaの死の何年も前にUmarilによって殺されている。一部の学者達はこれをPelinalの歌の一部とは言いがたいと信じてはいるが、大多数は完全にとは言えないものの信じている。]
