1. Fire and Ice
Our land is made out of the forge of two mighty forces. The blazing fire of dragons, children of the stars, and the Ice world ruled by Arktos that had struggled for centuries for the control of our destiny.
I have live all this years watching them fight over this place in a never ending circle. For the last was Tyrion, the grey, who bravely fought the armies of the winter sprite until he one day flew away. Far from our sight but always watching over us in the shining eye of the constellation of Draco.
Now I fear. No fire protects us and we no longer can stand against the cold winds of Glass Town. We can only wait for our demise or surrender. And I, Tenoch, wise coyote shaman, I can only ask the elders in the sky for a way to save my people. But how? The stars are silent, the animals although calmed know that the end is near. Oh, alas!
Tyrion, my old friend. Why did you left us in the dark? Why did you put us in such danger?
"When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world"
While I am saying this words, Arktos is planning his next move. He looks at his chess board where the knights, kings and queens are penguins under his command of fear and cold fist. All this years have been according to his plans but before walking towards the armies awaiting for his command, he walks towards Sohoo, the wise old owl that watches over his legendary crystal ball. The owl´s eyes are full of sorrow as he watches his land far from his reach and too close to destruction but something catches his attention for the crystal ball is making a prediction.
"Show me. Come on, tell me, Sohoo Bohoo of Ganth, what does it say about my future as ruler of Greenland?" The eyes of the snowman are full with greed and evilness but the wise bird stands his ground, for the news are full of hope for the country. But he must be careful or Arktos will destroy it before it can do anything.
"There is something on the woods. A tree. That will grow and last one thousand years from now."
"A tree? What a show." He rolls his eyes.
"It will start a new chapter in this country and in your life."
"My life? A tree is going to change my existence?" He laughs like crazy. "That crystal ball isn´t working well. You better get a new one. Anyway, James!" He calls his butler.
"Yes, your frostiness?" The loyal penguin comes at once.
"Are my armies ready?"
"Yes, your coldness."
"Then, let´s make it snow. And I hope more interesting news will come when I come back." He follows his domo towards the courtyard. Sohoo looks at his chained leg and smiles. Oh, news will come. Yes they will. Of Kings and fire. For Balance is going to struggle his way once more.
"Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken.
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood an pain
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
The age of man is over
The darkness comes and all
These lessons that we've learned here
Have only just begun
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell.
We are the kings
We are the queens
We are the kings
We are the queens"
Starting the engines.
And ready to open fire!
