Finished the game has. The winner Charlie is.
Welcome to a new edition of the game!
If this is your first time, there's some info for beginners at the end of this post.
This edition's proposed text is a fragment from the book The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.
In it, Atreyu, one of the main characters, gets advice about the power of AURYN (a magical medallion); and about how said power relates to the power of the Childlike Empress, the little girl who also happens to be the ruler of the whole world of Fantastica.
AURYN gives you great power … but you must not make use of it. For the Childlike Empress herself never makes use of her power. AURYN will protect you and guide you, but whatever comes your way you must never interfere, because from this moment on your own opinion ceases to count. For that same reason you must go unarmed. You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise, just as it is in the eyes of the Childlike Empress. You may only search and inquire, never judge. Always remember that, Atreyu!

Example, non-golfed, translation:
AURYN te da un gran poder... pero no debes hacer uso del mismo. Porque la propia Emperatriz Infantil nunca hace uso de su poder. AURYN te protegerá y te guiará, pero ante lo que sea que te encuentres en tu camino nunca debes interferir, porque desde este mismo momento tu opinión deja de importar. Por esa misma razón debes ir desarmado. Debes dejar que ocurra lo que sea que ocurra. Todo debe ser igual a tus ojos, bueno y malvado, bello y feo, insensato y sabio, tal como lo es a ojos de la Emperatriz Infantil. Solo has de buscar y preguntar, nunca juzgar. ¡Recuerda siempre eso, Atreyu!
