Opolis- Songs

Songs. Everyone knows about the power they possess. Songs open they key to the singer's soul and unleash its power.

Singers must have a strong heart. To have a strong heart you must have strong soul. The stronger the heart, the more melodic the song. With a strong melody, a voice can resonate a great distance and can pierce the tainted.

Those who are tainted have darkness that has consumed their hearts. When someone is tainted, their hearts cannot hear the Songs. They forget the Songs and lose their soul to the darkness. A Singer's voice can resonate within the Tainted and drive away the darkness and madness. But the darkness is not as helpless as it seems.

Warriors are those who were not gifted with a Voice but still seek the Tainted. The darkness seeks to destroy the Songs and the people who tell their story. While Singers are very powerful, a Warrior is always there to protect their Singer.

This is what I learned at an early age, what everyone learned at an early age. You can only survive in Opolis if you know those facts. Anyone who does not have that basic knowledge will be consumed by the darkness.

But there is another group behind the scenes. The group that creates everything; the seas, the land, death, hope, and light stay where they are not seen. Yet, they are the most powerful beings on earth. They are the Poets.

The Poets create the Songs. They supply the Singers with the power to conquer the darkness. They create the stories to remember the past, as well as foretell the future. We owe our lives to the Poets, but they will never accept gratitude, for a Poet's heart is pure.

There is one Poet that saved my life, the life of someone dear to me, and everyone in Opolis. This is his story, his song.

Incipe cantus sit.
