Puppeteer Clip 1, Puppeteer Clip 2, Puppeteer Clip 3

**Puppeteer** is the first song of The Circe Saga during which Eurylochus explains how all their men have been cursed by the sorceress Circe who turned them to pigs.

## Lyri

[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain...
I have something that I must confess
Something that I must get off my chest
Until it is said, I cannot rest
Captain?
[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus
go make sure this island is secure
[EURYLOCHUS]
But captain...
[ODYSSEUS]
There's only so much left we can endure
Whatever you need to say can wait some more
Of that, I'm sure.
[EURYLOCHUS]
Okay.
[Eurylochus leaves, taking his recon crew with him.]
.
.
.
[Later that day, Eurylochus returns without his crew. He looks crazed.]
[EURYLOCHUS]
Sir, since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places
Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist
But this was a hell of a twist, cause we are weak to a power like this
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
What was it?
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
A woman
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
What?
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
She had us in just two words
[CIRCE]
Come inside
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Damn
[CIRCE]
Welcome to the best part of your lives
Go ahead and rest wherever you like
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Only I stayеd outside, but the rest wеnt in
[CIRCE]
Take a seat
Let me bring you all something to eat
I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
By the time they ate, it was far too late
[EURYLOCHUS, *CIRCE*]
For inside the meal, *think of your past*
She had cast a spell, *and your mistakes*
They began to squeal, *they'll be the last*
And grow snouts and tails, *mistakes you'll make*
She changed them
[CIRCE]
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
[EURYLOCHUS, *CIRCE*]
They transformed, *this is the price*
And it wasn't quick, *we pay to live'*
She turned our men, *the world does not*
From men to pigs, *tend to forgive*
She changed them
[CIRCE]
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
We have to go save them
[EURYLOCHUS]
No we don't
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned
Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned
Think about the men we have left before there are none
Let's just cut our losses, you are I, and let's run
[ODYSSEUS]
Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run
But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done
There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save
I can only hope you'd do the same

Males

**Males** (雄, *Jōyō*), are the biological term used throughout the many worlds, and beyond. They are a gender identity within the binary genders. **Men** (男, *Otoko*) is a term used for adults, and corresponds to the terms boy (for children), male (adjective) and masculinity.

"*.*"

—About Males.

## Overview

### Anatomy and Design

Children are born with penises and testes are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as men, although intersex children may also be assigned to this identity while possessing some but not all of the above characteristics, Men may be cisgender (assigned male at birth and identifying as male) or transgender (assigned female at birth, yet identifying as male).

Identifying as a man is often associated with male sex characteristics such as a penis, testes, narrow hips, a prominent Adam's apple and a low-pitched voice, as well as a masculine gender expression and gender role, but these are not neccessary, and it is still possible to identify as a man without them.

Session 2

### Our Journey

Realize goodberries last only 1 minute. Does not satiate hunger. We are low on food and out of water.

All spells and magical effects have a necrotic nature and are tainted by “???”

Arrive at Barovia with similar cobble and gothic buildings around 6pm. Gates are opened and unguarded. “Welcome to Barovia”. 1 / 5 Houses are boarded up.

Nice Granny gives us a taste of pie. We implanted idea that the children has left to travel the lands, intrusted property to us for safe keeping. People think negatively of Strahd here.

We will sleep at the Burgomeister's Manor. Having eaten Granny’s Dream Pies, cannot wake up.

Ismark paid for protection of Ireena with equipment (hand ax, mace, and hand crossbow). 100G Gem.

We went to the Bildrath's General store, which was extremely overpriced. But we needed stuff.

Then we went to Blood of the Vine Tavern. Given 3 cups of wine by Ismark, the burgle master (new; father passed 3 days ago). Mists make people mad? Needs transport for Ireena out of Barovia.

People are suspicious of Orio (the only elf). Vistani are traveling with elven mix and are looked upon with suspicion, also cast out of Barovia.

#### Burgomaster's manor

Bigger than Durst Manor. Iron gates are twisted and torn. Grounds have been left unkempt. There has been a trampled path outside the manor with Dire Wolf, human and shoe prints. One sock with a “ghoul” toe.

Manor has been under assault for a few weeks by creatures (sent by Count?). Count has taken an interest in Ireena. Though she leaves on her own accord, she returns befuddled each time. He has been attempting to swoon her.

Guide Ireena to Valeki. 2-3 days of travel. (Vastani by falls?)

Vastani has taken camp between Valeki and Barovia. Elves obstructed Strahd? People at the tavern were previously Vastani. Vastani are the only people allowed in and out of Barovia.

Coffin with Ismark’s father (Indarakov). His heart gave out due to stress.

(Ismark’s sister, Ireena, has 2 small marks on her neck). Koa and Harry go to make tea with Ireena. She has a look of confusion when speaking of Strahd. Strahd is called the “devil”, and lives in Ravenloft (named after Ravonia).

Mad Mary’s dog? Possibly owner of Lancelot? Mary’s daughter found a dog in the forest.

Session 1

## Session 1 (September 18, 2022) - Day 1 - The One Where We Lost All Our Stuff

On a small ship after meeting up in a group, traveling to a forest planet. Hired to exterminate giant mosquitos.

Ran into a nebulous cloud on entry to the planet. Mist invades the ship. Drop in escape pod. Saved by various gods and crash landed on the forest planet.

Found 3 days of rations and 1 gallon of fresh water. Mist dampens sound. No wildlife to be found. Set up camp at the crash site.

There’s an encroaching “force” on this planet that is connected to the mysterious mist. The origination location is near to us.

Mist took away all our stuff =(. Put us onto a gravel path, leading us to ???.

Bear spirit is similar nature to wild mother.

Road leads to a 4 story tall brick building with a stable. Boy (Thorn) and Girl (Rose) crying outside. Asks us to investigate their Brother (Walter) (on 3rd floor). Parents in the basement “taking care” of the “monster”.

Investigating the house, finds a shield with a coat of arms.

Hairy and Koa climbs the house from the outside and met ghostly nurse overseeing the 3rd brother upstairs.

Baby and Nurse disappear after investigating.

Found secret room with “cleric of Ombus” tomes. Worshiper of Strahd von Zarovich?

735 BC parents gifted all to their 2 children.

3rd floor animated armor.

Letter to Petrovna in dealing w/ the monster.

Ghost maid affair with husband. Baby (Walter) possibly died under her care. Is also possibly her biological son.

Baby Thorn and Rose locked in the attic.

Leveled up on the first floor.

Rose possesses Harry. Thorn possesses Orio. On the descent to the basement.

Descended into the basement and was ambushed by ghouls.

Father (Mr. Durst) hanged himself. Mother (Mrs. Durst) became ghoul. Fought and killed Mrs. Durst. Children disappear and asks us to save Walter.

Place the bones of the family into crypt after clearing it of insects.

Sneakily descend into the chamber with chanting (“he is the ancient, He is the land”).

Specters chanting “One must die!” Not wanting to sacrifice anyone, attacked a specter and a monster (flesh mound) rose up from the murky

depths.

Cuts out baby Walter from inside the monster and buries with the maid.

Strahd drops off food and a letter, welcoming us to Barovia. We level up to 3

Repeatedly trying to “court” Ireena. Sent hordes of minions to attack the Burgomaster’s home when Indarakov kept Ireena locked up, to the point of killing him with fright. Apparently believes Ireena is a reincarnation of his love Tatianna, they look similar

Session 5

## Session 5 (December 4, 2022) - Day 3 - Some ugly old ladies

We got some more individual fortunes read

Valeki is to the West. Krezk is 2 days to the West of Valeki. Lake Zarovich is north of Vallaki.

Vastani encampment to the east of Valeki. Arrigal has a niece there.

Ireena said it's bad luck to kill ravens. Caught 2x Crows.

On the path to Vallaki, the gates of (the region of) Barovia come into view. 2 giant headless statues stand between a massive gate.

We decide to seek shelter since it's getting dark with wolves around.

We see a windmill in the distance. We see a raven on the door way of the windmill

We convinced the 2 ugly women (Ophelia and Bella) that are living there to let us stay the night. Ireena had to pay for us ($5 pp). They are very grouchy. Turned out Granny is their mother who sells the dream pies, while they make them. Tatiana felt a great desire for more dream pies and accepted the half piece that was offered to her. Everyone else declined.

The Windmill has 3 floors + attic, we are staying on the 2nd floor. They told us we are not allowed on the 3rd floor or the attic as they are their personal chambers. However, while they are all downstairs making pies, we heard noise coming from the 3rd floor.

Orio Kookie was very tired and decided to retire very early.
Neutrals

**Neutrals** or **Deuteragonists** are practically just characters whose characters are in no specific role as to whether they are allies or enemies. Those who are both allies and, at one point, enemies, are contrary to traditional heroes, although they may still have heroic qualities.

The alternate words for this faction are called **Anti-Heroes** (Male) or **Anti-Heroines** (Female).

"*.*"

—About Neutrals.

## Groups

Whether they operate independently or in a partnership, neutral anti-heroes will sometimes need to team together with other heroes to combat threats or problems that they would be unable to deal with solo.

Storm

Illustrated by @arti.fexi

## Audio

Storm

Storm is the first song of The Ocean Saga that Odysseus sings as he and his men face an impenetrable storm. They must survive and make it out alive before their ship capsizes.

## Lyric

[ODYSSEUS, *SOLDIERS*]
These waves and tides
Have grown in strength and size
Is it nature, or divine
Or a blessing in disguise?
Our home's in sight
This storm's our final fight
There's no time to die, comrades
*Sir!!!*
Brace for a storm
Storm
The likes of which we've never seen before
Brace for a storm
Storm
With home so close, we must keep pushing forward
*Full speed ahead*
Head towards the island but avoid the crashing waves
Tread where the tide is flat and then you will be savеd
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, we will capsize with thesе waves, our fleet will fail
[ODYSSEUS]
Have them follow my ship, I'll ensure that we prevail
Storm
[SOLDIERS]
Storm
[EURYLOCHUS]
We're taking too much damage to survive
[ODYSSEUS]
We'll beat this storm
[SOLDIERS]
Storm
[EURYLOCHUS]
At this rate, we won't make it out alive
[PERIMEDES & ELPENOR]
Captain, look!!!
[ODYSSEUS & EURYLOCHUS]
An island in the sky...
[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus grab the harpoons.
As many as you can find.
[EURYLOCHUS]
What do you have in mind?
[ODYSSEUS]
We're gonna shoot for the sky.
[EURYLOCHUS]
What?
[SOLDIERS]
Storm! Storm!
[ODYSSEUS]
Everyone grab a harpoon and aim it high!
[SOLDIERS]
Storm! Storm!
[ODYSSEUS]
We're shooting for the island in the sky!
In the sky!

Mavi Mazeros

>    Mavi Mazeros, Ejder Tanrısı Mazeros olarak da bilinir, kimsenin bilemediği dilleri bilen ve sırlarla dolu olan bu antik ejderha var oldukça Nalhim diyarı tehlikeye giriyordu. Çünkü kendisine tanrı diyordu, fakat bir gün hata yaptı ve diyarlar da çok nadiren rastlanan Ejderha Lordu Aaron ile karşılaştı. İlk başta herkes basit bir rüzgar zannetti fakat Aaron taverna da oturup uyurken bile bunun normal bir rüzgar olmadığını fark etmişti, o kadar sert ve o kadar keskin bir rüzgardı ki her şeyi uçurup götürüyordu adeta. Taverna'nın kapıları açılıp kapanıyordu, sanki ejderha dansı yapıyor gibiydiler. Bir zaman sonra herkes korktu ve ne olduğuna bakmak istediklerinde bir anda gökyüzü karardı ve görünen şey karşısında bazıları korkup çığlıklar atıp kaçarken bazıları korkudan ayakları dahi kıpırdamıyordu. O sırada Ejderha Lordu Aaron yaslanmış olduğu sandalyede dinlenirken bir anda kızıl gözlerini açtı, sandalyesinden ani bir hızla tavernadan dışarı çıkarak bir dağın tepesine ışınladı kendisini ardından bir insanda olamayacak kalınlıkta bir sesleniş yaptı "Bles Mazeros, hear dii zul, zu'u am aaron, drog do hi ahrk other dragons! dreh Ni attack tol city, if hi dreh Ni listen wah dii word ahrk attack, zu'u fen destroyeth hi voth aan single word!" Mavi Mazeros bu sese cevap verip Aaron'un yanına geldi. Bilinene göre Mavi Mazeros Aaorn ile dalga geçerken, Aaron ona sadece "Gözlerime bak" dediği geçer. Ardından Mavi Mazeros, Aaron'na boyun eğer.

何人归

作者-尹毋言

我去外面买了本年历，把旧年历从墙上拆下，换上新的。新年历的色彩很鲜艳，两本年历放在一起相比对，更显得旧年历的灰暗了，每一张纸都有不同程度的折痕，把薄薄的年历撑成形状古怪的扇形。

楼里只有我和程陌风。程陌风正拿着他的材料捣鼓着什么，不时有硬物掉落的声音从反锁的门里传出来。

新年马上就要到了。我看了看钟——十点四十六，晚饭还没吃。冰箱里什么都没有，到了年终连冰箱都是空空如也，木木地等待着新年的重新启动。

我点了个外卖。送餐员在校园里绕了两圈，终于是迷路了，我只能套上衣服出去拿。回来以后发现程陌风已经从房间里出来，没戴眼镜，正在看跨年晚会。屋子里弥漫着一股一场恶心的烧焦了的蛋白质的味道。

他见我进来，很神秘地笑了笑，说夏娃有亚当了。随后进屋把他的新作搬出来，是一个正比的人偶，大约65厘米长，肩很宽厚，皮肤是小麦色的——他竟然是按照我的身材比例来雕刻的。我走近去看，面部大概也是按照我的五官捏的，还没有上妆，眼眶里还没有塞玻璃眼珠，黑洞洞的毫无生气。我不得不感叹程陌风对于我的身体构造实在是太了解了，他没给脸上妆，身体妆却早早画好了，我哪里的皮肤比较粗糙，哪里有痣，哪里有旧伤，都被他用笔一五一十地还原出来。

我对他说：“幸好你还没找到什么合适的软体材料。哪天你找到了，我就永远失去了自己的贞操。”

程陌风仍然是一脸神秘，轻轻地戳了戳人偶的脸颊——竟然凹陷下去了。他说：“你已经一点也没有了，朋友。在我们成为室友的那一天，你已经注定要为我献上你的贞操。”

我只能笑骂他中二，把一碗牛蛙面推到他面前。我给自己点了份牛肉面，特意备注了不放辣椒，可是商家大概是因为太忙，忘了看备注，我的面还是辣的。程陌风的牛蛙面更辣，我只能忍着辣把面吃完，收拾碗筷的时候就开始感觉肚子不舒服，把东西丢给程陌风后钻进了厕所。我对辣椒的忍受程度依然是很低，低到自己都觉得不可思议。

程陌风在外面问我有没有用过的草稿纸，给人偶上妆要用。我告诉他沙发上有一本不要了的旧年历。我从卫生间里出来，却没有看到他在桌前工作。我环顾四周，发现他正躺在他上铺的床上翻看旧年历。

“李兰老师是今年年初的时候过世的啊。”程陌风说，“每次去实验室，总还想着要请教李老师问题，回过神来才想起李老师已经不在了。”

我想了想，李老师应该是在三月末的时候过世的。那段时间我在云桥。

云桥的快递不能送到家门口，都放在驿站里，各家各户自己去取。马芮语买了新的主机，妈妈也买了很多零食，于是叫我去取。出门之前，妈妈叫我在那儿稍微等一阵，另有一个包裹很快就到。

于是我很自然地问她要运单号，她却神神秘秘地说没有，只叫我等着。

“你看得出来是谁的。”她说。

我隐约感觉到，这个快递员必定有什么蹊跷，但一时间也想不出哪个人送东西需要神神秘秘不被发现的，即使如此也还是听她的话，拎着大包的零食和沉重的主机，站在驿站前等着。

旅游集散地在驿站的对面，正是这个深山小村的陆运枢纽。大巴来来往往，旅客涌入涌出，胸前挂着小白灯——是旅行团送的。天色渐晚，太阳已经落了下去，只剩下一点昏暗的霞光铺在天上，地面上已经是彻底的夜色，点点灯光零零落落地散落在各个角落，萤火虫一般飞动着。

我已经被灯光晃得有些迷糊了，清晰的星点渐渐混成一片白光。忽然间，一道突兀的黑影在我眼前晃了两下，凝神一看，一个体态佝偻的中年人站在一片白茫茫的灯光下，四处张望着。

在这里张望的人其实并不算少，很多旅客下车后四处走动，经常会走到这里来。但多亏了妈妈的长期训练，我能在第一时间看出这个难看的体态其实是伪装出来的——妈妈说的没错，如果他就是我要找的人，那确实很容易看得出来。我走上去主动问他：“您是来送包裹的吗？”

他穿着一件很旧的大衣，全身上下散发着一股猪粪味——应该是坐着猪车过来的。眼睛非常混浊，泥泞得像暴雨后的农田。他看着我，用浓重的隔壁山头的口音说：“你是来拿快递的？”

我只能用我蹩脚的云桥话回答他说：“是的。收件人应该是尹女士吧？”

他把视线往大衣里藏了藏，点了点头，回身把一个很小的黑袋子拎起来，递给我。

我低下头去检查袋子，突然听到他换了一个陌生的，北方的清朗声音，平静地说道：“包裹拆了，里面的东西直接和李兰的骨灰一起下葬好了。”随后便转身，不远处停着一辆猪车。我抬起头，发现他的身形一下高了许多。

我想叫住他，想追上他，却发现双脚重得惊人，如同被鬼手摁在地上一般；我想去呼唤他，同样未果。但是对方似乎注意到了我的举动，回过头来——仅仅是回过头而已——无谓地笑了笑。仿佛有什么尖刺冲破了混浊的眼珠，向我的心脏捅来。

目送他上了猪车，老旧的拖拉机马达闷闷地响了两下，随后乘着冷烟慢慢地驶向远方了。

我回到家，把东西交给妈妈。妈妈窝在沙发里，问我那个快递员怎么样。

我说：“晚上看不大清楚，但我觉得状态很正常，伪装水平相当高超。是你以前的学生吗？”

妈妈拆开了包裹，里面是一本泛黄的，书页如同炸熟的书，标题是《进化论》。

“那是杨任生。”妈妈说。

我一愣，开始在脑内搜索刚刚所看到的所有细节。他的伪装技巧很高超，然后呢？手指修长，皮肤干燥，身体状态应该比实际年龄好。还有呢？夜色中我分析不出微表情，也许这就是他晚上来的目的。他会有什么样的表情呢？是对好友过世的悲痛，还是对尹金沙的怨恨？还是看破一切的平静？或者是对女儿的不理解？

我不清楚，我突然发现我对这个人的了解还是太少。并不是因为妈妈有所隐瞒，我们仿佛都在无意识地排斥着这个曾经的战友。我曾经以苔楼的包容性为傲，可此时我似乎又发现了严恩老师一直所强调的那道无形的屏障。屏障的存在本应是正常的，人以群分，相同价值取向的人最终走到一起，不同价值取向的人最终分道扬镳，本是人之常情。是谁给了我违逆天性的优越感？

时间回到现在，我的肚子还在痛，在痉挛之余还有胀腹感。我的胃量实在是太小了。等会儿苏城宁他们还要带回来许多小吃，我无福享受了。

我决定等会儿骑上车去溜一圈。在那之前，我先把我的想法和程陌风说了。程陌风沉默了一阵，把那本年历递给我，指了指一个地方，我看到3月27日的地方有尹金沙的字迹，写着：“杨任生回。”

程陌风说：“因为我们都是正常人。”我发现我也没什么好反驳的，只能笑骂他虚伪。

Hold Them Down Clip 1, Hold Them Down Clip 2

**Hold Them Down** is the second song of The Ithaca Saga. Antinous and The Suitors form a plan to take what they want by any means necessary, and they plan horrific things on Penelope and Telemachus.

## Lyric

[ANTINUOUS]
Screw this competition, we've been here for hours
None of us can string this, we don't have the power
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
Can't you guys see we're being played?
This is how they
[ANTINUOUS, *ALL SUITORS*]
*Hold us down* while the throne gets colder
*Hold us down* while we slowly age
*Hold us down* while the boy gets bolder
Where the hell is our pride and our rage?
*Here and now*, there's a chance for action
*Here and now*, we can take control
*Here and now*, burn it down to ashes
Channel the fire inside your soul
[ANTINUOUS]
Haven't you noticed who's missing?
Don't you know the prince is not around
I heard he's on a diplomatic mission
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
I say we gather near the beaches
I say we wait 'til he arrives
Then, when he docks his ship, we will breach it
Let us leave now, today we can strike and
[ANTINUOUS, *SUITORS*]
*Hold him down* 'til the boy stops shaking
*Hold him down* while I slit his throat
*Hold him down* while I slowly break his pride, his trust, his faith, and his bones
*Cut him down* into tiny pieces
*Throw him down* in the great below
*When the crown* wonders where the prince is
Only the ocean and I will know
[ANTINUOUS]
And when the deed is done
The queen will have no one to
Stop us from breaking her bedroom door
Stop us from taking her love and more
[ANTINUOUS, *SUITORS*, **ALL**]
And then we'll
*Hold her down* while her gate is open
*Hold her down* while I get a taste
*Hold her down* while I share her spoils
I will not let any part go to waste
*Here and now, there's a chance for action* chance for action
*Here and now, we can take control* take control
*Here and now, burn it down to ashes* take control
**Channel the fire inside your soul and**
**Hold 'em down, hold 'em down**
**Hold 'em down, hold 'em down**

## Lyric

[ENSEMBLE]
Po-ly-phe-mus
Po-ly-phe-mus
[ODYSSEUS]
My brothers
The rest of our fleet
They wait at the beach
And if we're defeated, they’re good as dead
Straight ahead, that is who we're fighting
[ENSEMBLE]
Po-ly-phe-mus
[ODYSSEUS, *SOLDIERS*]
No backup, no chance for support
So draw out your swords
Our foe must be thwarted right here and now
Show me how great is your will to survive
Six hundred lives at stake
It's just one life to take
And when we kill him then our journey’s over
No dying on me now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day so
Fight, fight, fight
Surround him, *surround him*
Attack from behind, keep distance in mind
And stay in his blindspot and strike his heels, *strike the heels*
Show him that we're deadly
Exhaust him, *exhaust him*
Don't let him get close, he's strong but he's slow
He can't land a blow if we're out of reach
Find a breach
Stand up and fight for your lives
[SOLDIERS, *ODYSSEUS*]
Six hundred lives at stake
It's just one life to take
And when we kill him then our journey’s over
*Push forward*
No dying on us now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day so
Fight, fight, fight
[POLITES]
Captain…
[POLYPHEMUS]
Enough
[SOLDIER]
He’s got a club…
He's got a club!
[SOLDIER]
What are our orders?
Captain? Captain!
[POLYPHEMUS]
You’ve hurt me enough
Six hundred lives I'll take
Six hundred lives I'll break
And when I kill you then my pain is over
You're dying here and now
Escape is not allowed
You won’t live through this day now die
Die...

Ivaran ve Valindra

Yüce İnnir'e bağlı olan meleklerin lideri Ivaran Angel, Gök Tanrıların savaşında Kötülüğün savunucusu Lulmes'e bağlı olan iblislerin, lideri Valindra. Gök Tanrıların savaşı oldukça kısa sürdü, Tanrılar yenilgiyi kabul etmiş durumdaydılar fakat İnnir diğer tanrıların karşı çıktığı bir kutsallık yaydı. Meleklerin Lider Ivaran gücüne güç kattı savaşı daha da ileri ittirdi. Meleklerden Ivaran, İblislerden Valindra oldukça kana bulanmışlardı, ta ki Ivaran ve Valindra karşı karşıya gelene dek. Ivaran, Valindra'ya saldırmadı fakat Valindra, Ivaran'a saldırmıştı. Ivaran kendinde daha önce hissetmediği bir şeyi hissetmişti. Valindra ona çok güzel gelmeye başlamıştı büyü yediğini zannediyordu ama aslında değildi. Ivaran, Valindra'nın saldırısını engellediği gibi geri çekildi.

Ivaran da Valindra'ya çekici gelmeye başlamıştı. Fakat savaşmaya devam etmeliydiler başka yolu yoktu, bu sırada İnnir ve diğer tanrıların Thaaldir'i yarattıkları gibi, Thaaldir'e emirler verildi Thaaldir, Valindra ve Ivaran'ın yanında belirdi. Thaaldir, Ivaran'a saldırdı onu durduran şey, Ivaran'ın kendisi olmuştu. Ivaran, içinde yaşadığı şeyin farkına biraz da olsa varmıştı, kısacık bir vakitte büyük yanılgının içine atlamıştı Ivaran. Valindra da bu duruma şaşırmıştı, Thaaldir de şaşırmış bir şekilde Ivaran'a bakarken Thaaldir kılıcını daha da kuvvetli tuttu. Ivaran bir elini Valindra'ya uzatmıştı. Valindra ilk önce Ivaran'ın kendisine doğru uzattığı eline daha sonra Ivaran'a bakmıştı. Eğer ki kabul ederse Lulmes, onları bulup yok edeceğini biliyordu, Valindra içinde ki yanılgıya kulak verdi ve Ivaran'ın elini tuttu. Bir anda kimsenin bilmediği bir yere ışınlandılar.

Daha sonrasında ise bir kız çocukları oldu, fakat çok geçmeden Lulmes onları bulmuştu. Ivaran'ı öldürüp ruhunu bir yer altı mezarlığına hapis etmişti. Valindra'ya ise ruhunu ve bedenini bir heykele hapis edip oradan çıkana kadar işkence görmesini sağlamıştı. Çocuk ise nerede olduğu hala daha bilinmiyor. Ivaran ve Valindra aşkı ise efsane olmuştur, nesillerden nesillere anlatılacak bir hikayedir.

Full Speed Ahead

**Full Speed Ahead** is the third song of The Troy Saga that takes place as Odysseus and his crew sail across the sea on their journey home. Along the way they must search for a place to hunt for food to feed the 600 men onboard.

## Lyric

[ODYSSEUS, *SOLDIERS*]
Six hundred men, six hundred men under my command
With only one goal in mind
*Make it back alive to our homeland*
Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea
But the problem's not the distance
*It's what lies in between*
And Ithaca's waiting Ithaca's waiting
My kingdom is waiting *The kingdom is waiting*
Penelope's waiting for me
So full speed ahead, full speed ahead
[EURYLOCHUS, *SOLDIERS*]
Captain, *Eurylochus*
Six hundred men *Six hundred men*
Six hundred men with big mouths to feed, and we've run out of supplies to eat
*Curse the war, our food store's depleted*
Six hundred men *Six hundred men*
Six hundred reasons to take what we can
So captain, what's the plan?
*Captain, what's the plan?*
[ODYSSEUS, *SOLDIERS*]
Watch where the birds fly
*Watch where the birds fly*
They will lead us to land
*They will lead us to land*
There we'll hunt for food, my second in command
Now full speed ahead, *full speed ahead*
[EURYLOCHUS & SOLDIERS]
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
[POLITES]
Captain
[ODYSSEUS]
Polites!
[POLITES]
Look! There in the distance, I see an island
I see a light that faintly glows
Maybe they're people lighting a fire
Maybe they'll share some food, who knows?
[ODYSSEUS]
Something feels off here
I see fire but there's no smoke
[EURYLOCHUS]
I say we strike first, we don't have time to waste
So let's raid the place and-
[ODYSSEUS]
No
Polites gear up, you and I'll go ahead
[POLITES]
You and I'll go ahead
[ODYSSEUS, *EURYLOCHUS*]
We should try to find a way no one ends up dead
*We don't know what's ahead*
[ODYSSSEUS, *SOLDIERS*, **ALL**]
Give me til sunrise, and if we don't return
Then six hundred men can make this whole place burn
Now full speed ahead
*Full speed ahead*
Full speed ahead
We're up, we're off, and away we go
*We're up, we're off, and away we go*
Full speed ahead
*We're up, we're off, and away we go*
*We're up, we're off, and a-*
**Full speed ahead**

İki öğrencisi olduğu biliniyor birincisi Coltari İmparatorluğu Aznait Büyü Meclis Başkanı İndoneth Jodalf Undneth olarak bilinen oldukça güçlü ve zeki bir büyücü, diğeri ise Karanlığın Gözyaşı olarak bilinen Hloysde Zerac. Zamanında bu iki öğrenci ustalarına ihanet etmiş, onu öldürmek için planlar yapmaya başlamışlardır. Planları oldukça başarılı gidiyordu fakat Argad bunun çoktan farkındaydı ve hiçbir şey yapmayarak planlarının gitmesine izin verdi. Zamanı gelince ikisi birlikte Argad'a saldırdı fakat Argad'ın onları yenmesi sadece iki dakikasını almıştı. İçinde barındırdığı güç Ejderhalara denk deniliyor fakat bazı kısımlar ise onlardan dahi güçlü olduğunu savunuyor.

Lanetli Kralların Maskeleri

> ***Lanetli Kralların Maskeleri***
>
>    *Yıl tam olarak bilinmiyor, eski krallığın kralları olarak bilinirler. Üç kral da kardeştir, fakat üçü de birbirleriyle anlaşamazlardı. Birisi diğerinin cinayetini hazırlarken diğerleri ise başkalarının cinayetlerini hazırlıyorlardı. En büyük kardeş ne zaman bir saldırı yapmaya çalışsa onu durduran ya annesi ya da babası oluyordu. Bu onun için büyük bir engeldi, ilk olarak babasını sonrasında ise annesini öldürmek için bir plan başlattı bazı gizli kişilerin desteği ile plan oldukça başarılı bir şekilde uygulandı. En sonunda ise hem babaları hem de anneleri ölmüştü, bunun suçlusunun kim olduğunu diğer kardeşler biliyorlardı fakat buna asla karşı çıkmadılar. Önleri tamamen açılmış durumdaydı, bu sayede üç kardeş birbirlerini rahatça öldürebilirlerdi. Üçünün de isteği tahttı. En büyük kardeş tahta oturdu diğerlerini öldürmek için emir verdi fakat iki kardeş de ortalıkta yoktu. Başka bir emir ile iki kardeşi yakalattı ve onlarla son bir konuşma yaptı yüzlerini hatırlamak ve “ben kazandım!” amacıyla maskelerini yaptırdı. Sonrasında ise tek kalan kardeş tahtının hemen yukarısına kardeşlerinin yüzlerinin olduğu maskeleri yaptırdı. Çok geçmeden tahtında huzur asla bulamadan daha yirmili yaşlarının başında bir hastalığa yakalanarak öldü. Vezirler krallarının yüzlerini unutmamak adına onun da yüzünden maske yaptılar ve kardeşlerinin yanına koydular. O günden bugüne kadar lanetli olarak anıldılar. Günümüz de onların isimleri hatırlanmasa bile “Lanetli Kralların Maskeleri” olarak biliniyorlar.*

Niveth ve Bella

*"Niveth, biliyorum beni bekliyorsun ama lütfen bekleme ben sana gelemem. Sana olduğumdan daha çok yakın olmak isterdim ama şartlar bunun önüne geçiyor. Beni ben olarak seven birkaç kişiden birisin. Üstelik benim hakkımda hayallerin var, o hayalleri benim için değil kendin için yap tutun bir şeylere ama bana tutunma. Ben senin için sadece notalarında ki hüzünlü melodiyim. Kendine bunu yapmanı asla istemiyorum."*

Niveth karanlığın elinde büyümüş, bir kadar ona muhteşem gelen bir o kadar da teslim olmuş birisiydi. Nivaleth'in söyledikleri karşısında sadece sustu ve ona doğru baktı. Gözlerinde ki yorgunluğu ve kalbinin kırıklığını dışarıdan herhangi birisi görürdü. Fakat Nivaleth, başını öne eğdi ardından yavaş adımlarla oradan uzaklaşırken bir ses duydu.

*"Nivaleth ıkht en nammel yu" "Sen benim en değerli şiirim, en güzel ezgilerimsin. Beni unut ama bunu asla unutma"*

Nivaleth, Niveth'e doğru döndü, sadece buruk bir gülümseme takındı. Papatyalarla dolu bir alanda, güneşin batışı vekuşların sesleri Nivaleth de huzur yaratırken, Niveth'de büyük bir hüzün yaratıyordu.
