==Origins==
{{Quote|[[Pakistan|My children]], it is time for me to give you the second holy scripture. The story is from a time long forgotten, from a dimension you can not even begin to imagine. A dimension made of chaos. My homeland. This happened before, during, and after the book of Dio. This didn't take place in a physical world, such as you know it.<br><br>This is the story of how I became Dio. Read, and study it well.|[[The Circles of Dio/Circle 1|Dio Brando]]}}
