Page 143 of Song of the Heart Scale

I leaned back, watching as the bard struck her first chord. The room hushed. Even the drunkards fell silent as she began to sing.

It was a haunting melody, soft and sweet at first, like a lullaby whispered beneath starlight. But beneath it ran a thread of iron, a strength that built with every verse.

They sayshe rose from water deep,

Through a doorway none could see.

A girl of land with mortal breath,

Lost in a world of mystery.

The rivers sang,the mountains watched,

As fate was written in her eyes.

And from the dark, he found her there—

A dragon bound to skies.

Oh,love that crossed through water wide,

Oh, flame that would not die.

A dragon gave his heart away,

And taught the stars to cry.

He tradedwings for flesh and bone,

Left crown and sky behind—

For one small life, for one small hand,

For the love he swore to find.

She touchedhis scales beneath the moon,

He learned her name beneath the sun.

Together they turned back the dark,

Together fought ‘til wars were done.

They savedhis world through fire and storm,

Through sacrifice, blood, and pain.

But when the final battle slept,

He chose her world again.

They saythe waters whisper still,

Of vows beneath a dying moon.

That even dragons kneel to love,

And mortal hearts can change a tune.
