The real name of the woman who became The Hopeful Scribe has been lost to history, trapped beneath the layers of online personas she worked behind.

It was the Scribe who took down the stories of those heroes who would fight the invaders, raising them up to become figures of legend to whom those who knew oppression could look once the alien takeover was complete. She also had an active part in training the more magically capable among the resistance, and lead several rituals to aid attempts to find a way to restore those who had been lost to the lizards.

Mark pulls out of his bag a worn leatherbound book. The title is still visible “The New Age of Heroes”. The author's name seems to have been scratched off. Outside, there are Naki patrols that would kill them for merely having touched it, but as they open the book and begin to read, the know Hope.
