                                             FOREWORD

     Very far from our solar system, in the constellation of
Lyra, orbits around its star a blue-green planet, glittering
with beauty:  Parthas is its name. Imagine that thousands
 of years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ decided to pay
a visit to a people on a continent of this planet covered
with vast oceans, just as He did for the Israelites on Earth.  
To a certain people of Parthas, who live on what they simply c
all the Continent, Jesus passed on all his knowledge and
wisdom, and chose from among them twelve disciples to share
His Word with the rest of the continent.  Some people in this
 society doubted His Word and His divinity, and put Him to
death.  Resurrected three days later, Jesus created a great faith
within His disciples' hearts.  Before going up to Heaven, 
Jesus urged His disciples to remain on the path of faith. 
Hundreds of years later, descendants of the first disciples
 place the testimonies of their ancestors and the words of
Jesus into a collection of books called the Holy Script.
     
      Hundreds more years pass.  The inhabitants of a village
on the eastern side of the Continent find themselves brutally
attacked by unknown raiders who have come from the sea. 
Following a particularly violent and bloody raid,  the village
inhabitants are overcome with fear and mistrust, and begin to
 lose the commission which Jesus has entrusted to them.

      Four hundred years further on, the startling discovery of
 two strangers by a village girl, Ramella, drives her to put these
ancient fears to the test. Through her courage and determination
to help a mysterious, faraway people, will her people once again
learn what it is to love?
