It is unclear when the [[Lara documents/Lara 002.003|third parable]] was written, though one guess is during the reign of [[Asemlef]], because of its xenophobic message. In this one, a D'ni explorer got caught in a flood without a [[Linking Book]], and the natives of the age did not help him.

In this one, a D'ni explorer got caught in a flood without a [[Linking Book]], and the natives of the age did not help him. Yahvo came and told him that he should learn to never trust [[ahrotahntee]]. He then made the flood kill some of the natives. After the flood he converted the natives to believe in Yahvo. | ||

This is not a parable, but a journal entry from one of the low-speakers from 002.007. Curiously, they spoke D'ni while the people of Ishveer did not. [[Lara documents/Lara 002.008|The entry]] describes the Maintainers' attack and says that they planned to rebuild underground. | This is not a parable, but a journal entry from one of the low-speakers from 002.007.

[[Lara documents/Lara 003.001|This document]], translated by belford and released January 11, 2008 (Leevosahn 7, 9663), is not a D'ni text.

A priest well-educated in a world mythology wrote this memoir after [[1906 | A priest well-educated in a world mythology wrote this memoir after [[1906 AD]]. The events described in the document took place a few years before that. At a Mexican-American War veteran's saloon, the Chinaman's Eye, he learned that Lara had come there years ago with some documents, among them a book, and became friendly with his wife, Mary. One night Mary disappeared while reading the book; none of them knew what happened but it is safe to assume it was a linking book. Neither the priest nor the soldier opened the book. The priest left, and when he came back the soldier had gone; again, undoubtedly through the book. The priest kept the book. | ||
The document says that Lara managed to take a linking book out of the cavern, but he did not use it and probably did not look inside it. It is unclear how the priest's story was added to the rest of the documents, or what happened to the book. | The document says that Lara managed to take a linking book out of the cavern, but he did not use it and probably did not look inside it.
