Atrus eventually travels to Riven and meets Catherine, whom he is surprised to learn can write Ages. She shows him [[Myst]], and claims she wrote it, when in fact Anna had written it for them. Together, Atrus and Catherine plan Gehn's imprisonment on Riven. Although Atrus' plan ultimately fails, Catherine and Anna were able to rescue him with heir plan. Through some anomaly of Catherine's writing, the [[Star Fissure]] appears in Riven during their escape, enabling Atrus to link to Myst without leaving the Book on Riven for Gehn to use to follow them.
