After eleven thimbles of Merry Minstrum's yellow fire. So if we hit her on the head with a frying pan, she'll snap out of it, right? Yes, yes, it's called therapy.It's brilliant! You desert everybody, abandon your responsibilities and relationships, and focus completely on your own personal misery.Guys tremble too, but not in the same way. When I speak, girls tremble … and also guys. My beak is a finely tuned instrument of love.I think those things are actually connected. It signifies age and wisdom, and also, sometimes, poor hygiene.

Do you honestly think I fear death? I've faced it countless times, and I've never blinked.' Everyone kept telling me I was important, that I was needed. I honestly have no idea who I am anymore. So whoever you are, whatever you plan to do – good luck. If death is the end, I know that our dreams remain behind. You need to tell my story until the word is out, until everyone knows what's going on. The future is out of my hands … and in yours. I'm not sure how long I've been here, or how long I'm going to stay, but there's nothing more I can do now. I helped send Faith on her way, the Static is gone, things are back to normal – all should be well with the world. Parts of it still feel like a dream to me. Sometimes we just have to trust that things will be okay.I'm getting pretty good at getting into impenetrable fortresses.They say that every story has a beginning and an end, but sometimes the two are one and the same.I don't usually look this pale, but that's what you get for being in a coma.If you ever decide to follow in my footsteps, look me up. To whomever reads this, Godspeed on your journey.

I leave behind these words in the hope that, someday, they will serve as a map for someone else. I am at a crossroads, but for me there is only one path. My choice was made many years ago, when I first embarked on this journey. Any sane man would turn around, return to the world he knows, forget what he has learned, and live his life in blissful ignorance. Between the familiar and the unknown, between certainty and doubt, my choice would seem obvious. The other path … the other path leads to a place of shadows. One path leads back to the world I left behind.

I am at the crossroads between waking and dream.

The books on her shelves are either metaphysical or modern classics the volumes include Moby Dick, Oliver Twist, The World According To Garp, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and The Holy Bible.Īfter the story is finished and her visitors leave, we see that Lady Alvane lives with a very old and very grey Crow. Lady Alvane says 'this place is between, and everywhere' and, in speaking to her visitors, describes a time after the two worlds were reunited. Lady Alvane's home is pleasant and rustic, but there is clearly more to the House of All Worlds than we see. However, she also seems to have mysterious insight into April's future thoughts and feelings, claiming that though she will prevail, the pain won't go away - April will keep that with her forever. She tells a weary April that she must go on, because 'that is how the story goes'. She gives April some much-needed advice and support, notably reassuring her that Emma wasn't seriously injured by being shot and will recover from the wound.

This carries her through to the House of All Worlds, where she meets a 'vaguely familiar'-looking woman who introduces herself as Lady Alvane. When April is fleeing the agents of the Vanguard, she runs to the Fringe Cafe and sees the Mystery Door open for the first time, becoming her only escape route. Lady Alvane is an elderly woman we see narrating the events of the game to a young man and woman during the prologue and epilogue to TLJ, describing it as a story she heard a long time ago. 'This story, like all good stories, begins where it ends, in a tower, in a realm that is no more.' ―Lady Alvane
