NTRO — EPIC ORCHESTRAL • MILITARY MARCH] [Female Voice: Mayre Anne — alive, regal, powerful] “In the halls where destiny listens, I speak as Queen, As Mother, As the living heart of the Veilleux line. Not a ghost… But a woman whose magic walks the winds To reach her sons.” [Drum strike • brass swell] [VERSE I — PHILLIP, THE FIRSTBORN] “Phillip… my firstborn. Blonde hair, blue eyes — my reflection in a warrior’s frame. Strength was your first language, Courage your first breath. You trained harder than any child I had ever seen, Driven by a fire older than your years. A protector by instinct, A leader by nature, A storm of will and laughter. You were the boy who ran toward challenge, The youth who refused to yield, The man who stands unbroken before any foe. You are the shield that never breaks, The roar that rallies armies, The first spark of our rising star.” [VERSE II — TROY, THE PALADIN OF LIGHT] “Troy… my noble-hearted son. Dark hair, green eyes — your father’s calm strength. But your height, your heart, your unbreakable spirit… Those were mine to give. You rose where others fell, You healed where others broke, You led when others faltered. A Paladin not by oath, But by the truth of your soul. You speak and warriors steady their breath, You stand and the line holds, You fall and the world trembles. You are the voice that commands storms, The hand that lifts the fallen, The light that refuses to dim.” [REVEAL — THE TRUTH OF HIS FATHER] “There is a truth I have never spoken… A truth the world was not ready to hear. After Philip the Just fell… After grief hollowed my days… A wanderer came to the Isle. A man of impossible height, Eyes like storm-lit oceans, A presence that bent the air around him. He was no man. He was **Thaloran Skybreaker**, A Storm Giant walking the world in human form. He saw my sorrow… And in time, He saw my strength. And from that union — Born of storm and queen — Came you, Troy. Your endurance, Your mythic rise, Your refusal to stay down… It is the blood of giants Flowing beside the blood of kings.” [VERSE III — ERIC, THE SHADOW WHO CHOSE THE LIGHT] “Eric… My son of shadow and fire. Born of tragedy, Raised in love. Half demon, half human — But wholly mine. You fight the darkness inside you With a courage the heavens envy. You walk the razor’s edge Between fury and restraint, Between hunger and honor. You protect your brothers with a fury that shakes the world, You stand where others would flee, You rise where others would break. You are the storm that refuses to consume, And the flame that refuses to die. You are proof that blood does not define destiny — Choice does.” [PRE-CHORUS — THREE DESTINIES] “Three sons, three paths, one rising star— Warrior, Paladin, Shadow-born. Each forged in love, in trial, in flame, Each carrying forth the Veilleux name.” [CHORUS — THE QUEEN’S BLESSING] “Rise, my sons, in strength and grace, The world is yours to guard and face. Phillip, Troy, and Eric stand— Three stars burning across the land. By love, by blood, by fate’s decree, Go forth, my sons— Live bold, live strong, live free.” [BRIDGE — THE GHOST KING ANSWERS] [Male Ghost Voice: Phil the Just — warm tenor-baritone, gentle, not deep] “My Queen… My love… You owe me no apology. I raised Troy as my own, And I would do so again A thousand times. I love our sons— Phillip, Troy, and Eric— Each forged in courage, Each born of your heart. And I stand proud of them… And proud of you. For VALORN… For our bloodline… For the world they will shape.” [FINAL CHORUS — FAMILY ASCENDANT] [Female + Ghost Tenor-Baritone duet] “Rise, our sons, in strength and grace, The world is yours to guard and face. Phillip, Troy, and Eric stand— Three stars burning across the land. By love, by blood, by fate’s decree, Go forth, our sons— Live bold, live strong, live free.” [OUTRO — THE QUEEN WHO STILL WALKS] [Female Voice: soft, resolute] “I am no ghost. Only my image walks the winds. But my love… My pride… My watchfulness… Are eternal.”
