Song
You announce, "I shall now perform for you the song 'Sleeping Fire', a tale of the World Dragon by Cirissa Tereha."
- "Three moons know we:
- Bright Yavash, gentle Xibar, sad Katamba.
- But once the world was brightened
- By the light of a full four."
- "Grazhir, doomed pearl of heaven,
- Long lost to the eyes of mortals
- Its name was doom, for inside
- Hid the death of all the world."
- "Black beast that scampered forth
- When Grazhir burst asunder
- Its scales like cruel iron glittered
- And its wings could hide the sky."
- "Deep it drank of Elanthia's fire,
- Death crept toward the mortal world.
- And then greedy eyes would turn
- Towards the glories of the sun."
- "Then assembled all the gods
- For to battle the deadly foe.
- They faced this doom, and it them:
- Cold eyes, cold faces, cold hearts."
- "And the Sun itself hid,
- And the bones of the world shook,
- And the gods almost despaired:
- Fierce the faces,
- Fierce the fighting
- Fierce the foe -- !
- Fierce the fighting
- Fierce the faces,
- And the battle raged..."
The tune suddenly slows and softens.
- "... to its end."
- "Evil slunk away,
- The gods held the field.
- But victory's price sat heavy:
- The best of them wounded sore."
- "Then Peri'el, Lady of the World,
- Cast the beast to Elanthia's core
- And herself descended,
- Forever to sing for its sleep."
- "All praise, immortal singer!
- Keeper of Elanthia's Doom,
- Savior of us all!
- Lady Peri'el, all praise!"
A last triumphant note lingers as the song ends.
