====== V. From This a Miracle Renders ======

==== 5-1 ====
//<color #993333>"Teacher, in this tumultuous world...\\
Have you thought about your will?"</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]

It was just a joke,\\
But the scholar still at the Grove,\\
Answered with extreme caution.

He has much to say about his posthumous affairs,\\
Exhausting all, fearing the smallest omission.

//<color #993333>"Teacher... could it be that... you FEAR death?"</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]\\
The assistant asks in concern.\\
It was a question needed,\\
Yet he gave no direct reply.

//<color #993333>"Philosophy is the inquiry into death,\\
And I have always considered myself a philosopher."</color>//

----

==== 5-2 ====
The assistant recounts all of the scholar's final wishes.\\
Each mighty as a mountain, asking what seemed impossible.

//<color #993333>"The tombstone must be made of my treasured rare stones,\\
Carved with dromas patterns."</color>//

But that stone is a miracle of alchemy,\\
Tough beyond measure, no chisel could have shaken.

//<color #993333>"That's also his plan..."</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]\\
The assistant softly reveals the hidden plot.\\
//<color #993333>"He hopes that instead of shedding tears over his death,\\
we will find it in us to smile, even in a moment of sorrow."</color>//

==== 5-3 ====
It's rumored that in the depths of the Grove,\\
The scholar left a <color #993333>teaching ingenium</color>,\\
Imitating himself to the utmost detail.

//<color #993333>"Go back. The living have not exhausted their thoughts."\\
"Go back. The dead have no desire to teach their words."</color>//\\
The ingenium's words are cold and detached,\\
Like the deceased man himself.

//<color #993333>"But if you have no one to talk to...\\
{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa5-3.png?200|}}
Fine. You can sit and converse."</color>//

Now the Grove is no longer bustling,\\
And the scholar has returned to dust.\\
Thus, few in this world now know,\\
How he was also troubled by solitude in life.

==== 5-4 ====
Someone once suggested —\\
//<color #993333>"Perhaps your ambition...\\
Should also find its place among your final wishes."</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]

//<color #993333>"Pointless notion."</color>//\\
He dismissed in derision.

//<color #993333>"Unveiling the countenance of the gods is a task for the living."</color>//\\
Perhaps that is his haughty position.

Such a melancholy topic,\\
Yet he insists on feigning a twist, avoiding it altogether.

----

==== 5-5 ====
Perhaps these chapters should not be retained —\\
Most are from the scholar's handwritten drafts,\\
Shown without his permission.

Yet there seems to be a voice there in remonstration:\\
//<color #993333>"It's just the past. What harm is there in revelation?"</color>//

{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa5-5.png?200|}}
Even in passing,\\
His hubris still resounds in reverberation.

//<color #993333>"The smaller a thing is, the more it shows its weight.\\
The more foolish my name is,\\
The more glory my achievements will be in comparison."</color>//
