⚜️Suno & Dragons: Quest for Salvation Book 2 ° Hunt down the gods ⚜️The story continues: All parts are here: https://suno.com/playlist/f59aa7f2-e96f-4f6a-aee2-2c86502332d9 ⚜️ Hear your Name: Deep within her coma, Finn clings desperately to the illusory warmth of the forest cabin: the sunlit pines, the crackling hearth, and Valeska smiling gently beside her. But as the priestess begins to sing the familiar lullaby, the melody warps into the ancient, rumbling resonance of the Hollow God. Speaking through the dream-phantom, the entity demands Finn's divine spark to destroy the rival beast waking in the real Valeska's marrow, threatening to incinerate the priestess to ash should Finn refuse. As Finn fights to deny the nightmare, the agonizing shrieks of dying Sirens butchered in the citadel outside rip through the wooden walls, causing the illusion to detonate. Finn snaps awake inside the obsidian vault, suspended within a colossal sphere of razor-sharp black glass threads. Looking through the dark weave, she sees the real Valeska, a terrifying, semi-translucent husk devoured by blinding white divine flame, stripped of all mind and memory. When a titanic, primordial mass of suffocating shadow descends behind the oblivious warrior to strike, Finn panics. Desperate to shield her guardian, she unleashes her sacred arcane power, shattering the glass chrysalis from within. But the mindless Valeska mistakes the violent explosion for an enemy assault and blindly drives Gideon’s broadsword through Finn's chest. Mortally wounded, Finn collapses into the glass shards, looking up into the hollow, burning eyes of a woman who no longer remembers whom she has just slain. -------------Lyrics-------------- [Intro] [Verse 1] [Soft, clear, innocent, and fragile female vocals, wrapped in a deceptive, suffocating warmth] The forest green is breathing, the canopy is wide, Walking down the familiar path where quiet shadows hide. The cabin stands in sunlight, carved in the wooden pine, Where the warmth of simple living mends every scar of mine. Gideon sits by the threshold, his quiet burden gone, And Valeska smiles beside him, welcoming the dawn. She opens up her gentle voice to sing the ancient song... ...but the melody is twisted, and the harmony is wrong! [Pre-Chorus] [The acoustic guitar abruptly distorts into a cold, unsettling metallic hum, joined by a terrifying, booming divine resonance] [Voice: fragile, instantly overtaken by the deep, resonant voice] Sleep now, my darling, two heavens collide, An ancient, cold war where no cradle can hide. The beast in her marrow comes hungry and blind— Now yield me your spark to destroy its dark kind! [Chorus 1] [Explosion into heavy melodic post-hardcore, dark metal, driving chugging guitars, pounding double-bass, and desperate, raspy female screams] NO! KEEP THE CABIN WARM! DON’T TEAR THE PAINTED SUN! I WILL NOT HEAR YOUR PROPHECY, THE NIGHTMARE IS NOT DONE! I CHOSE TO HIDE IN SUNLIGHT, I CHOSE TO BE AT PEACE! [Dissonant dual-voice choir echoes underneath] "THE CAGE IS MELTING DOWN, CHILD—THE SLAUGHTER WILL NOT CEASE!" [Verse 2] [Frantic, accelerated rhythm—distorted basslines, sharp aggressive cello sawing, panicked teen vocals] The wooden beams are shaking, the golden colors bleed, High-pitched, piercing shrieks pierce through our quiet reed! The Sirens scream in agony outside the rotting hall, As real iron cuts their flesh and sprays against the wall! Valeska’s dream-face fractures into jagged, burning stone, She digs her blazing fingers straight down into my bone! [Voice: venomous, urgent fury] "Surrender all your power to my awakening hand! Obey my holy will, or drown within this land! If you refuse the altar, if you deny my claim— I’ll incinerate this priestess in white, consuming flame!" [Bridge] [The music collapses into a massive, tectonic sub-bass detonation and frantic, gasping vocal delivery] [Voice: hyperventilating as the illusion shatters] The cabin tears apart like paper in the gale! Gideon dissolves to ash... the painted skies turn pale! I fall through endless black... ...and open burning eyes! [The soundscape shifts violently into vast, echoing obsidian cavern reverb] No cabin... no sun... A gargantuan chrysalis of razor-sharp black glass threads! And standing outside the shell... ...Valeska. [Singing resumes with mounting horror, accompanied by weeping solo cello] White fire spewing from her veins, her flesh turned into glass! A walking corpse of blinding light where mortal days have passed! Her eyes are empty pits of coal, she wanders in a daze— Gideon’s broadsword flaming bright in a destructive blaze! [Verse 3: distorted repeat] [Colossal, dragging doom-metal riffs crash in—crushing slow war drums, suffocating dread, frantic vocal delivery] AND THEN THE VAULT ERUPTS! THE OBSIDIAN ARCHES CRACK! A MOUNTAIN OF PURE SHADOW DESCENDS UPON HER BACK! A dark, primordial nightmare! A titan carved of frost! Hungry for the divine sparks that mortal lives have lost! His frozen talons spread above her unsuspecting head, Reaching down to crush the light and claim the dying dead! [Spoken frantic, desperate screaming] "Valeska, behind you! He’s going to strike! Look out!" [Singing with agonizing terror] She stares with vacant eyes... she cannot hear my shout! [Chorus 2: sublime repeat] [Maximum velocity and emotional crescendo—frantic blast beats, soaring distorted riffs, raw, bleeding, desperate screams] I WILL NOT LET HER DIE! TAKE EVERYTHING I BEAR! I UNLEASH THE SACRED WEAPON INTO THE FROZEN AIR! SHATTER THE GLASS CHRYSALIS! TEAR DOWN THE BLACK WEAVE! I AM THE FIRE FORGED TO MAKE THE DARKNESS BLEED! VALESKA, I AM COMING! I’LL SHIELD YOU FROM HIS HAND! I’LL BREAK THIS FINAL CHAOS ACROSS THE SUNLESS LAND! [Outro] [instantly abrupt, dead cutoff of all guitars and drums] [Voice: panting, stumbling forward through the glare] The threads break... I leap into the light... Reaching for your cloak... [A loud scream of pure agony and pain followed by a single, dying, weeping cello note] [Sung with a broken, fragile choked fading voice] ...This pain... ...A tearing agony inside my chest... ...A sword... Gideon's sword... buried in my breast... ...My bleeding hands reach out... clutching at the cold steel... ...I lift my eyes along your arm... to see if this is real... ...I look into your face... ...and see two dead, unfeeling white eyes... ...You don't know who I am... beneath the empty skies... [A final, trembling, dying whisper] "Valeska...?" "Why...?"
