Epitaph of twilight

I know that a copy of this has been posted but i found an extended version. so the one you guys found is not the real one this is.This is not the entire thing though.

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born...
After the stars doth cross the heavens...
The sky in the East doth darken.
And air doth fills with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest,
A sign of the Wave comes.
Riding the Wave is: Skeith, the Shadow of Death,
to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis,
Betray all with the flawed image,
and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus,
a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens,
and creates a new Wave.

With the Wave, Fidchell,
the power to tell the dark future,
hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can.
Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave.
Only a void remains.
From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.

Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark, has raised finally her army.
Apeiron, King of Light, beckons...
At the base of the rainbow they meet.
Against the abominable "Wave," together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power - all now to droplets turned in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing, this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.

The wife buffeted by "waves" turns her back on the field.
The daughter that waited for the shadows repeated,
"For sure... For sure I can go home."
But the girl did not know...
The truth that waited at the end of the journey
The eternal mourning of her land.

In the place of the calamitous, only life was known.
After the circling stars
When the eastern dark void, the air full of despair
In the depths of the divided forest, in the land of Karma,

Riding fast on the path is Skeith
Bearing death's shadow, it eliminates all that seek to thwart it.
The Confusing Mirage, Innis
Decieves those that see it with illusions, rescues the waves

The wave soaring high, when its head is smashed,
A new wave will emerge
To become Magus's power.
When questioning the wave,
Hope's light will be lost when he speaks of the dark future of where sorrow and resignation reign.
Using Fiddlehiem's Technique

When englufed by the Waves of Calamity, Gole will plan
The sweet snare of conciliation is Maha
The Waves, an exceeding maelstrom
Nothing can escape

When you think you have escaped, Talvos exists
To destroy those with his exceeding cruelty
Upon violent requital, only to remain is the void, the vacant darkness
is the harbringer that Copernic is to appear.

Extended version? The first two parts of that Epitaph, from "Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born... " to "From deep within the void arrives Corbenik" are just differently translated versions of the last few parts, from "In the place of the calamitous, only life was known" to the end. Read them and you'll notice they're pretty similar.

This thing is not new. Several sites have taken parts of the Epitaph provided in the English games and combined them with a slightly different version (the same one we have here in the Serious Discussion forum). The combinations have been bouncing around message boards and fan sites for a while now and are not the real thing.

I must agree, this is exactly what we have in the serious discussion thread...

Sorry to break your heart but yes this is just translated different this does not serve any purpose so why dont YOU actually read the original version?

omg..."The amount of time spent, the rarity, and the rumor that Fragment was based on it placed a high price on the text. This text was then leaked underground, and although it became easier to find, many added their own versions and revisions to the unfinished story, making it more difficult to determine the original text."

O.O OMG! .hack is coming TRUE! *doesnt know whether to feel giddy or scared crapless*

This is exactly like legends only passed by the word of mouth; In about 50 years, the information suddenly swerves way off course and it becomes this load of crap that has nothing to do with the real thing (only vaguely connected to the it). The same will happen to the Epitath of the Twilight if all of them suddenly disappeared and only the people who vaguely remember it will write it down.

and that face also seems to be affected in the real world ( found 3 sites posting the epitaph of twilight and they were all different,)
