If such were the feelings of the prisoner, then the second part of the message will give
him the key to find the way out.
You must have present that I said the key and not the secret exit. Because it happens
that with the key the prisoner must search for the secret way out, work that would not be so
difficult considering the reduced dimensions of the cell. But, after he find it, he must complete
his feat descending through incredible depths, across the corridors mired in impenetrable
shades and going up, finally, to remote pinnacles: such complicated is the travel of the
enigmatic secret exit. However he is saved, in the same moment that he begin the return,
and nothing and nobody will stop him.
Now it is only missing, to complete the epilogue of the allegory, to say one word about
the second part of the acoustic message, the part that had the key of the secret. It was also a
song, a curious song that narrated the story of a sublime and forbidden love between a Knight
and a Lady already engaged. Consumed by a passion without hope the Knight had started a
long and dangerous journey across distant and unknown countries, in which, he was becoming
skilled in the Art of the War. At the beginning he tried to forget his beloved, but after many
years, and having proved that the memory was always alive in his heart, he understood that he
would live eternally slave of the impossible love. So, he made a promise to himself: wouldn't
matter the adventures that he would have to pass in his long journey, neither the joys or
misfortunes that they would implicate; internally he would stay loyal to his beloved with no
hopes with a religious devotion, and no circumstance would take him apart of his strong
devotion.
In this manner the song ended: remembering that in some part of the Earth, converted
in a monk warrior, the Courageous Knight marches, provided with powerful sword and proud
courser, but keeping hanged on his neck a bag that contains the proof of his disgrace, the key
of his secret of love: the Wedding Ring that will never be used by his Lady.
Adversely to the infantile song of the first part of the message, this doesn't produced an
immediate nostalgia, only a feeling of modest curiosity in the prisoner. When hearing, coming
who knows from where, in his natal ancient language, the story of the gallant Knight, so strong
and brave, so full in battle, and however so sweet and melancholic, so internally broken due to
the memory of L-ove, the captive felt dam of that modest curiosity that the children experience
when they presage the promises of sex or intuit the mysteries of love. We can imagine the
prisoner brooding, befuddled due to the enigma of the evocative song! And we can suppose,
also, that he will finally find a key on that Wedding Ring... which according to the song would
be never used in any wedding. Inductively, the idea of the ring will make him search and find
the secret exit.
