Stop a giant mastered from within. (Proud Clod)

Cause beginning of life to come to an end, (Ifrit)
Life’s story told in a place to mend. (Kalm)

When father’s daughter takes the crown, (Leviathan)

From Alpha to Omega the elements combined,
With a sidewards glance should your path unwind.
Some research done and one more glance,
Just exactly who would love this chance?


Basically, it's become clear that you can't get straight to the final answer--there are a couple of steps inbetween. The first step was to figure out what each of the first ten lines referred to, which has been done.

The next step is to figure out what the last stanza is telling you to do. This is something that has to be done line by line.

The second line of the last stanza is meant to reveal the phrase "cloud sword". However, this was only supposed to happen as a result of solving the previous line, "From alpha to omega the elements combined". Without solving that line properly, you're left at a dead end.

As I meant to strongly imply with my recent post, the "elements" line relates to the summons referred to in the first 5 stanzas. And something to do with alphabetical order. And it relates to the elements of the summons, not the summons themselves.

All of this was said already, but with a lot of incorrect speculation inbetween. So, here's hoping that this little summary helps.


I, for one, would vote for PA simply spelling out what that line means, but he's got the prerogative. Hope I haven't completely overstepped my bounds. I mean in any normal circumstance I would've been out of line here, but he asked if I could add anything, so I'm tryin' to help out.
