Now, with this great faith, he returned unto Hel, for the burnings of Heimalaz could not keep him still. And he returned with Yōhannaz, and Yōhannaz instructed Gnōsis how he might teach and empty entirely that Heimalaz might have place in him. And Gnōsis went about preaching.
2
And when he had done this thing for a certain time, there began to be many of those who began to mock him and say that he had never been in Hel and that he had always been Sydeir. Nevertheless, Gnōsis withstood them and proclaimed unto all: I am Gnōsis, and despite your lack of faith, you know that I dwelled with you here. For I was a wicked man upon the earth, caught away with great lust and a thirst of violence and revenge. And I stole much and killed more. And thus, for my rebellion, I could not dwell with the Aiyseir and was thrust down into the only realm in which I could abide. And here I stayed, and you know that I stayed here, for I labored with you here, and we laughed together here, and we sang together here. Therefore, come not up in the hardness of your hearts, for you know that I was one among you.
3
Therefore, am I not proof of the promise which Thūnoraz gave that we might leave this pit which we have dug and ascend unto the higher realms?
4
And again, the souls of Hel mocked him, saying: You were never with us, you are a liar and a fiend. Therefore, get hence, for we can abide not your presence.
5
And Gnōsis went away in sadness for the hardness of the hearts of his friend. And he wandered Hel in search of any who might hear his call. And he came upon another like him, that he had also been in Hel but had ascended. And Gnōsis went unto that one, and his name was Pascal, and Gnōsis learned that this Pascal had lived long before he had and had labored in Hel an endless aeon. And when Thūnoraz had broken the portals, Pascal had also ascended and received of the same commission which Gnōsis had. And having received the same welcome, they joined together as friends and companions. And they went up in Sydeir together and told Heimalaz and Thelli all that had happened, and Heimalaz touched their minds that they might know where they should go.
6
And thus they took their journey into the farthest reaches of Hel. And there they found a group who on the earth had been descendants of the Yōtons. And they had removed themselves, for they were wicked in their hearts and desired to be nowhere near any other.
7
And when the prophets came unto the place of the descendants of the Yōtons, the Yōtons became angry and commanded they leave. Nevertheless, Heimalaz had given them command to preach unto this tribe. And thus, they began to teach all the words of their hearts, and these words flowed smoothly, for they both were Sydeir and were both led by Heimalaz.
8
And this was the message they gave: You descendants of the Yōtons. Have you not heard of the stirs going on about in Hel? Have you not heard that Thūnoraz Aiyseir has burst the portals unto the higher realms? We see that you do, nevertheless, you continue to hide away in your mountains that you might not be around any other. Do you not remember your lives upon the earth, that you were fierce warriors and were thus slain in battle by the children of Yakov? We know that you do. Therefore, remember deeply, for you were wicked upon the earth. And when you came here, were you not greeted by Helel, who was first among you? For she was a daughter of the Yōtons and had perished, and for her crimes she became the master and the keeper of this place, doomed to walk its halls forever. And when you met her, did she not say that you would be trapped here countless aeons until the realms should be rolled together to form new realms? You remember it, for we know. And in your hearts you wept, for you knew of your losses upon the earth and that the children of Yakov were mightier than you because of their faith in Aiylōhyme and Thūnoraz. And you wanted to be like unto them. Nevertheless, you were trapped in Hel, and thus in your anger removed yourselves to the farthest reaches so that you might be able to hide away from your fate.
9
Nevertheless, I cry unto you, you Yōtons, I am Pascal, and I am Gnōsis, and we were like you, doomed to walk these halls and these mountains forever. Nevertheless, we received the words which Thūnoraz had spoken unto all of us, and we knew that the portals were opened. And with this knowledge, we exercised great faith unto the saving of our souls. And we were rewarded with repentance and our chains were broken and our bands were loosed, and we were able to return unto the place of our fathers.
10
And when they had spoken these words, the children of the Yōtons rejoiced in their hearts, for upon the earth they had been defeated in battle and knew that the Aiyseir had been leading their enemies. And thus, they knew of their power. And now, they humbled themselves in their hearts and came down in a great repentance, and when they had done this, two Vyaneir, they who had already received their bodies, descended into Hel and began to teach these Yōtons.
11
And when they had done this, the Vyaneir said unto Gnōsis and Pascal, quickly return unto the earth, unto those that walked with Thūnoraz, for these are descendants of their kin and they will desire to learn of this.
12
And when the Vyaneir had spoken these things, the prophets speedily went unto those who had walked with Thūnoraz upon the earth, and they proclaimed unto them all that had happened in Hel and gave them the names of all the souls that had come down in repentance. And thus it was that those souls were received in Ohrther and received the Ohrther of fire as had Gnōsis.
13
Now, this is a great teaching. For it is that many do not accept this teaching. For they say that once a man is thrust into Hel that there is no return nor ascension for that man. But they know not Thūnoraz, for Thūnoraz descended below all things, and having descended below all, can ascend all.
14
Now I give one final account, for there are many in this record, and the purpose of abridging The Book of the Dead is not to give a complete account of all our doings among our dead, no, it is to give an example unto our future generations which shall take up this work, for we know that the work of the dead shall have been nearly aborted before it could even have begun, and therefore, a restoration must come forward in regards to the work of the dead. Therefore, we abridge this record that our future generations might have a type and a shadow, to see how the work for the dead is accomplished. And thus, we give the record of the greatest story written within the pages of The Book of the Dead.
