There was once a popular folk song that went like this:
|
|
"Toss to the bard all the coins you can spare,"
|
|
"Give your bouquet to yon maiden so fair,"
|
|
"Take wine so bitter it makes the tears flow,"
|
|
"Drink to the yesterday now been and gone, and sing for tomorrow that comes with the dawn."
|
|
|
|
In the land where songs and music carry on the wind, the people have merry yet sensitive souls.
|
|
It is said that there were times in history when the tyrant Decarabian and the ruling aristocrats would ban certain chords and tunes,
|
|
For discerning people could sense the spirit of resistance that lay behind the music of the bards and singers.
|
|
Songs and hymns had also indeed been used before as a way for rebels to communicate.
|
|
|
|
In the days of the ruling aristocracy, the Church that revered the Anemo Archon was once split in twain by a schism:
|
|
On one side stood the clergy, who ate at the lords' table, and overturned the archon's statues with them even as they wrote songs and hymns of praise.
|
|
On the other stood the saints, who held no clerical office, and who walked the streets, the wine cellars, and the world beyond the walls.
|
|
These saints drank cheap moonshine, blessing the slave and the plebeian with the original holy manuscripts that circulated amongst the people and with words that the wind brought to them.
|
|
And while they did so, they penned forbidden songs and poetry.
|
|
|
|
When the gladiator from a foreign land arose together with the re-awakened Anemo Archon and raised the banner of rebellion,
|
|
The aged saint known as the Nameless Shepherd mobilized the true adherents of the Church of Favonius.
|
|
Together with many others, they spilled their martyred blood upon these emerald fields.
|
|
And together, they sang a rallying cry to save the nation, the hitherto-unsung half of that folk song of old:
|
|
|
|
"Leave the keen steel to those who will give their lives for the fight,"
|
|
"Prepare the thieves' gallows,"
|
|
"Sharpen your rusted arrows,"
|
|
"For when the music sounds, we shoot the beasts down."
