Chant Neoen
Terrible power
Through ruined Sephyr roiled -
Killed him there she could
Hesitate a beat
Curiosity – but why
In their dire ever-war?
A memory tear forms
Dim childhood recognition -
Elusive time drifts
Then snow-quiet she came
And talked no menace awhile -
Though enslaved NeoenMounted side by side
As winter-spring griped them close,
Glamour struck was he
Too fast it ended -
Neoen forced violent pathsTo speak the cause
Escaped Sephyr, Neoen
Fled T’eldraicht way to hide
Running with elf friend
T’eldraicht dreaming
Reality flickers
Hide and seek, sweet nymph
Running together,
Playing forever, beneath soft
Spring dappled sunlight
In triumph and death
His parry her heal his smile
Her laughter, lives here
Living and running
Surf smashing herb gathering
Treasured company
Bleeding back into
Another world unbidden
Other eyes watching
As shadows build deep
In councils far different
The war drums call hate
Absences noted
Friendship and ancient binds
Demanding return
Warrior Hanin
Incomplete battle plans near
Uncertain pauses
Far Sephyrr, mage
Cold in under city
Argues then withdraws
Duties unattended
Insistence crowding, but still
The two watch afar
War hate in them cold
Must thoughts of peace unravel?
Moon-fall alone lost
Fragile dreamers dance
Bound tighter, dream within dream
Fading together
Orchestration DJ Kaos, Chant P Quinton
