===TRANSCRIPT OF THE ENDING SEQUENCE OF RIVEN===

Atrus: There isn't much time...where's Catherine? Where's the Book?
Catherine: Atrus!

[ Pause as Atrus and Catherine embrace ]

Catherine: The villagers are safely in the Rebel Age.  I thank you.
Atrus: As do I. You've accomplished more than I could've hoped for.  You've given
	me back my life. The path home is now clear for all of us.

[ Pause as Catherine links away ]

Atrus: This is where our paths must part.  Perhaps we will meet again someday.  You
	know where to find me... Good bye, my friend.

[ Atrus links away ]

[ Riven begins to fall apart and you fall into the Fissure ]

Atrus (in background): 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 how, the very flow of stars
	that brought my Myst Book into worthy hands I am sure will serve as a
	safe passage home for my friend.  The Age of Riven is closed forever, and
	the people of Riven are free.  And now, I am at rest understanding that
	in Books, in Ages, in life, the ending can never truly be written...

[ Fade out ]
[ Roll credits ]
