“This is a story of when this country was still in chaos and full of anxiety.”


In the deep darkness of the Black Forest

Born from the abyss

The wheel emerges

:It whips up the wind and speaks with the dragon

:It reads the wind and weeps

:It carries power in its hand and hesitates

“One day, a young man visited a woman who was friends with a dragon. The young man referred to the woman as the Messiah and said that her power was needed.”


The one-armed youth holds the Messiah

The moonlit pair returns to the earth

The dragons gather and dance tonight

Every last thing returns home

“The Messiah gathered the country’s knights and worked to bring order to the people’s chaos and the dragons’ chaos. She worked to bring peace to the anxious land, sea, and sky.”


The wind blows / The night blows / The dragon awakes / The people move / The dragon roars

:The wind arrives from the north / A path arrives from the north

:The knight descends as a knight / The dragon soars high as a dragon

:All is a path to the north star / All is a story of an insurmountable wall

“A long battle followed. But after traveling north and defeating a large black dragon, the clouds cleared away.”


Follow the path to a familiar face

:While walking side by side

Your hand and voice might reach them

:But the moon sees it not

The gatherers begin their party

:A wall separates the pair

:As they follow the same path with the same words

“Below the full moon in the sky, the Messiah smiled for the first time. The knights rejoiced, the people danced, and the dragon roared.”


The party begins and the village dances / The dragon roars and the knights gather

The bride weeps uncrowned / Her words go unsaid and he never arrives

Thus she is alone / She weeps and sleeps in this land

“The one-armed young man left a letter telling her to fight no longer and departed the morning after everyone threw a party to celebrate their newfound peace.”

“The Messiah wept.”

“She was inconsolable despite the knights’ and the king’s best efforts. Not even the country’s top jester could manage it. Nor could the wolves and dragons of the forest, the mountains, the rivers, or the wind.”

“But one morning, the Messiah stopped weeping and gathered everyone. Then she promised them that their peace would last for a thousand years thanks to their efforts.”

“Do not forget who you are. Never forget that and this hill will turn gold every year. And you will never build walls between any people of any background.”

Urge him on and wait / If you wish for something new

::All hesitation will come to an end up ahead

Complete the circle or break it / If you desire something new

::Throw out all hesitation and look back

The wind is with you, he is with you / Seek out something new

::All hesitation exists to tear through that wall


“The Messiah said she would sleep for a thousand years at Alfheim and awaken once chaos returned to the world. Once she was asleep in her shrine, the one-armed young man returned. He spent the rest of his days guarding the shrine…until one evening he breathed his final breath.”
