The Assurance

“

- (logo chiming) (bright upbeat music) - It's so hard to believe. I keep dreaming that she's here with me and we can go home. The people of my world are sick, dying. I can never go home. I am alone. My sister was the only family I've ever known, and I miss her. She left me here in the wilderness. I know her mission is important, but I still don't understand it. I always knew my sister would do something great. I didn't know what it was, but she did. And that weighed heavily on her. Ta'ani kept her secrets till the end. All I knew that she had more hope than most. She wanted that for me too. (sighing) Through forests deep and desert long, I will be brave I will be strong. I do not share her fate. A great evil has come to this world. They say there's a God that has rebelled and fallen. And that his presence creates the terrible play that is destroying our people. - Draw the assurance. - So I'm finding hope an ancient drawing. They think it's a sign from the gods that we'll be saved. - Draw the assurance, every day. - Ta'ani believes. She had me study it and draw it over and over. I was not a good student. I suppose she was preparing me to learn who she really was. And why she had to leave. I didn't understand why the assurance was so important. But someday. - What do you see? - The few that are left gather often, to learn and to look forward to a brighter day. Though even the believers doubt they will be around to see it. One day, I was exposed and everything changed. We left our home. We now into the wilderness and Ta'ani family taught me about her mission. - There's a lot I need to tell you. The gods have blessed our family. We can do great things. (shushing) (energy pulsating) (suspenseful music) (explosion) - I had so many questions. But the next day, she was gone. Now I think I understand. She taught me who she was, who I am, and who to be. The people of my world are dying. But they are not dead. Ta'ani's mission was to send me to save them. And I intend to. - If others knew you were existing, our lives will never be the same. - A child will come to save us. (whispering) (tense music) - Impossible. - Korda'a you've been exposed. They know who you are. The fanatics will come after us. We're not safe here, we must leave. (upbeat music) Korda'a, time for you to take your journey. - Why, aren't you coming? - You know what to do. - You are the chosen one. - Korda'a, you are the assurance. You can save us all. - How do I know where to go? - Through forests deep and desert long. - I will be brave I will be strong (wind blowing) (upbeat music) (tense music)
