Prophecy in sages eyes, acts of sorcery revealed for the herd. How did we come to this? These wrecked lands, they once had kings. Absent coexistence; they once held the balance which bound us to prevail.Legend will become the unrestrained harmony that sheltered the ties between mankind and its foundations. A new era is upon us. Long gone will be the days when we reigned in this our ancestor's legacy, and pristine daylight endlessly awaited for the unborn. The shadows are upon us. The day shall come when we shall face Artemis retribution and the wrath of Leviathan. It is likely that we're going to our doom.

Riddle 03:11
"Go now and never come back", said Reason to Greed. And Reason took the path of righteousness and sanity, whilst Greed kept on crawling behind men.Down the mountain and into the valley, lost sights and sounds are found.Deep in the woods, beyond the marsh, among the shadows fate is bound. But Reason was fragile under Greed's tenacity, and soon graciousness fell into oblivion as selfishness persevered, and the gentle melodies of the homeland were quickly subdued and forsaken. "So beautiful, so bright... I would give anything. My precious love, gone!" Reason lost the way, blinded by the flashing lights of power and deafened by the siren songs of success. But there was Greed to reach out its hand, and guide Reason through the woods and beyond the marsh, never to return.

Great trees circled the region, and little houses spread along green fields. Peculiar people inhabited these lands; they were as peaceful as dawn, and noble like a raindrop in summertime. They lived and thrived in harmony, isolated from the evil abroad. But Evil's reach was incalculable, and soon their peace was disrupted by the opressive winds from the west. Ignorant and resigned, they stood by the blazing harvest, praying for better days to come. Until the day their hearts burned with greater fury. Holding hands and torches lit, their voices echoed all along the valley as they marched against the tyrants to reclaim their rights and dignity. And the sun shined with vigor again the day one nation arose, hand in hand, in the name of justice and equality.

My friend, let me call you so, for together we've withstood the flow of the years.Together we have won, we have shared, we've changed the course of our lives only to lighten those of the others. Now, look straight into my eyes. Watch these tears rise and fall, in a subtle metaphor of my kingdom's decline. Watch as the flesh submits under the golden aegis and all sight of life begins to fade. Our memories, our deeds are forged as remnants of a journey that is now coming to its end. But even in the darkest of days, even when you feel as weak as the morning breeze and no wings could rid you of the weight of a loss, love shall reign and hope prevail from birth and until the final sail.Go now, my friend. Let the grass grow and rivers flow. Let the fragrance of jasmine invade your home, for the world is certainly a merrier place when one values food, cheer and song.

Discord 03:45
Enchained shall remain the lustful and envious, the foul and treacherous, who brought discord within the halls of the Keeper of the Flame. With the violins came the flora and flutes whispered as wildlife appeared. The harps gave rivers their cadence as the bagpipes brought the first soft breeze, and the drums hailed the first light at dawn while cymbals announced dusk and the end of each day. But then he came, the wisest and the most skillful, but the most prideful aswell, and with him came the dissonance. Why wouldn't you bless this harmony with the gift you were given? But his solo of arrogance was only filled with envy and hunger for power, and soon the discordance brought fire and storm, malice and deceit... sorrow and pain. Enchained shall remain the Lord of Discord. Enchained shall be the ones who corrupt the melodies of our world.
