The Song of Eternity
Canto 1
Parm : The Forsaken Realm
Here I've compiled all the verses from this canto, feel free to read them at your leisure. For those of you that don't want to read this canto, meaning you want to pick it up in canto 2 or later, I will summarize this canto to save you time.
Characters: Eiko- Transported from Gaia to Parm six years ago, horn disappeared along with powers upon arrival. Amarant- Transported from Gaia to Parm after Eiko disappeared. Transformed into a wereman due to interdimensional forces, made normal again when Eiko regained her powers. Past knowledge of Lani and Deke implied. Lani- Transported from Gaia to Parm after Amarant disappeared. Implied past with Amarant and Deke. Deke (Travis Starmore)- Amnesiac, but a great fighter. Amarant knows him from Danguerro. He has a metal right arm (half). Deklin (Vivi)- Lost memory when transported to Parm before Amarant. Trained as assassin by Ashura. Recovered memory and power soon after stealing Pearl's pendant. Kuja- Somehow trapped in a statue in a necromancer's castle. Freed by Deklin and Eiko. More powerful than ever. Jack- Deposed monarch of the desert people. Now a thief, waiting for his chance to kill Ashura. Pearl- Princess of Haven, the main opposition to Ashura. Cid- Leader of the knights of Avalon. Opposed Ashura. Ashura- Huge monster. Ten feet tall, 4 arms, regenerates at an alarming rate due to possession of the world's crystal pieces. Killed Jack's family.
Crystal shards- Pieces of the 'soul' of the world. Cause of changes to people as they enter the dimension. Now they are set as stones in many pieces of jewelry, not knowing what they are. Can cause unexpected power, or the access of power from another world.
Plot- Jack and Deklin rob Pearl, causing everybody to end up at Ashura's tower, which collapses, scattering everyone. Ashura is nearly indestructible due to his possession of many of the world's crystal shards. They all make it back to Haven and gather to face Ashura's army. Deke and the dwarves battle the ogres, while Kuja and Deklin burn the undead to ashes. Kuja lets a blast go across the battlefield and passes out. They begin the battle against Ashura, minus Kuja and Deke. He proves to be too strong. Amarant tells them to try to get all the shards close together in order to make them fuse again. They do, along with Deklin/Vivi pumping mana/energy into the ensuing energy field. The result is that everyone not from Parm disappears.
Upon the fall of the enemy, The hopes of worlds will be needed elsewhere. Others will come to fill the void, To leave their own, To save the weak, Their destiny will unfold before them.
The princess stands face to face with the usurper, All is calm until he tries to gain the power. The protector comes and secures survival for a little longer, Only to be in danger again, When the thieves are called.
The ones shrouded in darkness, Given their mission, Meet with one of their own, And are given the means to finish their mission. They both hold secrets, But only one knows his.
The players gather, With the world on the line. One almost remembers the truth, Another already knows it, One suspects it, While the one is drawn into battle.
The prize streaks away from safety, Everything swings close to Armageddon. The plan is scrapped, As one regains what was once lost, Not knowing what he is doing.
They fled from town, Heading to their dark master, The truth, so close, But still out of reach.
On the roof of the world, They gathered with everything at stake. Not strong enough to win, Strong enough to survive.
Abandoned by their allies, Captured by the enemy, His strength shows, And they escape to the haven.
Saved by his remembered power, Sent through the void to the land of the dead. One, realizing his mistakes, Another, trying to find the truth, And the third, waiting for his own salvation.
Drawn together again back in the free land, They gather and relive the past.
On the eve of destruction., Destiny shares a conversation. On the day of fire., True power is let free.
Those destined to meet in battle clash, Given hope and a chance by others' actions. They call upon their power, To battle the tyrant, And go home.
