Prologue
(专辑: Voices Of Fire - 2016)
Harmony was broken. The
Five that should have been one became divided, each reverting into its own nature. Only as the
evil of the
Fifth was realized, did the
Four shape the
world one last time. But their power was too great to be unleashed without powers. Harmony was broken. But the
echoes of the
World Song can still be heard. And through this, the
Four found their champions, calling them together. The
elements would have scoured the
world and made it devoid of life, had not the
Bard's Call checked their terrible power. Much was lost that day. But the
world was won. The
Fifth fell into the
depths of the
world, body rent asunder, mind broken. But even out of the
defeat of the
Fifth, a
new hope arose. Eight lands, blessed and cursed by its power. Harmony was broken. And yet peace returned. The
Fifth defeated, the
Four withdrew. What had been wild and mutable became solid. History unfolded, the
mortal races made the
world their own, as was ordained. The
Fifth slipped into legend, the
Four became myths. Both treachery and sacrifice nothing more than stories. Stars, dancing through the
night's sky. But I
remember. For I
can hear the
songs on the
wind, in the
waves, in the
crackling of flames, rising from the
very bones of the
earth. What has been forgotten may become known again. What lies hidden may be revealed. What sleeps may wake. And with it all its terrors. Harmony was broken. And still the
songs endure. I
shall sing of the
Five, of the
return of the
Fifth, of evil old and unimaginable. I
shall sing to mortal hearts and heavens alike. I
shall sing with a
Voice of Fire!
