+The black tide that blotted out the sky surrounded the city walls,\\
+The soldiers manning the walls battered from battle.
+<color #993333>Melodious chords</color> of music were suddenly heard —\\
+A single swordmaster had overcome the waves of enemies.
+The song flowed from betwixt the blades,\\
+Breaking through formations as a dorsal fin cleaving the waves.
+When the last wicked beast finally fell,\\
+Shattered into pieces amidst the sword's dance,\\
+The frost blade bore no trace of blood.

+The commander extended a hand, inviting the musician to join.
+Should a fish separated from its school glimpse a faint glow,\\
+It will swim toward the light.
+The swordmaster clasped the commander's hand,\\
+As though gently grasping the hilt of a keen blade.
+When the spray of her waves extinguished the fires of war from the holy city,\\
+A golden name was engraved upon the stone pillars —\\
+The former commander burned the crown to become king.

+During the banquet after the battle,\\
+The weaver tailored for her a splendid dress,\\
+And the commander poured her honey brew.
+Her golden-blooded comrades gathered about her,\\
+Chanting her new name,\\
+Urging her to play that splendid music.
+The candlelight danced and mingled with flowing drink,\\
+Swords and song ringing out in unison.
+Yet none knew,\\
+That was one a lonely melody from the deep sea.

+The music of revelry continued for a long time —
+Until the whispers of conspiracies were buried in the songs,\\
+Until the roars of lethal struggles shattered the music.
+Legend holds that they who bear the weight of a pillar,\\
+Shall one day return to where it stands.
+Those who tug at the earth shall end amongst the mountains,\\
+Those who sew dawn and dusk shall remain eternal in the sky.
+And she would <color #993333>once again return to the pitch-black sea</color>,\\
+And she would <color #993333>once again sing her music alone</color>.
+The bountiful ocean,\\
+With the banquets of bygone days,\\
+Stir as futile bubbles at the bottom of a glass.

+Many years later,\\
+The song once played by that swordmaster,\\
+Was played by future generations in the holy city.
+The people knew,\\
+The demigod of the seas was still a noble captain.\\
+She possessed <color #993333>peerless swordsmanship</color>,\\
+And <color #993333>a song that is passed down through the ages</color>.
+It was just that she had long since vanished.

+Guests at the banquet sometimes spoke of her,\\
+But it was only a prayer between their cups —
