Chapter Text
Long, long ago when the tigers used to smoke.
The four kingdoms were
Spring and Winter, and Summer and Autumn
Far, far away in the land of Goryeo
Guarded by the Land of The Moon and The Sun
where the ancient ones rove,
the four kingdoms were
to thrive in amity and joy.
Oh, woe be brought,
when fell the Land of the Sun.
From far, far away came the unknown foe,
one never feared before,
wielded in his fist the unbeaten golden sword,
long golden hair, he crawled out of The Void.
The King of Dead commanded an army of soulless endeavor
Furiously he ravaged the greatest of the Sun
To seize Goryeo of everything that thrived in the life,
Reclaim them to his power by the blade of his sword,
in fire and scales and ashes,
The Mad King swore.
The People of the Moon,
they closed their borders
to be breached no more.
The Mad King of the Dead advanced through Goryeo,
leaving a wake of fear, and grief, and blood.
To defend his people, the Summer Prince rose,
Begone the Mad King, cast back into The Void
With the bloom of war came
Hatred and greed into Goryeo
The darkness tarnishing
at the peoples’ souls
The Land of the Moon,
remains occulted to this day.
Where it once stood glorious,
the land of the Sun remains
Victims of the Madness of the Golden Beast
One day and one night will be
when the tigers fearless run
a true child of the Sun
to be bloomed as a rose
like a phoenix to the ashes,
banish the shadows to the void
bring peace to the land
bring the truth with their sword.
Destiny is written in skin, and love, and blood.
