They both mention pattern 158 in a burnt book and to use it in the fireplace. He also proclaims that Sirrus killed their father and will kill you if you release him. On the other hand, Achenar claims that Sirrus burnt the books and killed all the inhabitants, due to his lust for power and riches. Sirrus fears that their father has died since and he will forever be trapped in the book. Sirrus blames Achenar for burning the books, claiming that he is crazy and is bent on destruction, breaking the trust that Atrus gave them when they became adults and that Atrus trapped them both since he couldn't tell who was lying and who was telling the truth. After exploring the ages, The Stranger finds the pages and brings them to the prison books. He also notes that he hid the remaining books. The Stranger also finds a message from Atrus to Catherine, mentioning that one of their sons burned all but four of the linking books in The Library.
Both beg The Stranger to explore the ages of Stoneship, Channelwood, Mechanical and Selenitic and bring back the pages that match the color of their book.
The Stranger then finds two prison books, a red book which contains Sirrus and a blue book which contains Achenar. The Stranger finds the Myst linking book at the bottom of the Star Fissure and unexpectantly links to Myst Island.
