Part 2
Through the darkness of the forest Marth could see Zelda, huddled under her cloak with rain pouring down over her. He hesitated only a moment before he sighed, then set off in her direction.
Marth’s slogging footsteps resounded loudly even through the rain, but Zelda did not move as he drew near. She didn’t even appear to be breathing. Under the pale light her skin appeared as white and cold as marble. With her head bowed as though in supplication, she sat; a broken, crumbling statue of grace. Even the silent tears flowing from her blank eyes looked like nothing more than raindrops running down

Epilogue
An unsettlingly familiar smell of rotting sewage and filth filled the air, seeping through the darkened tunnels like a tangible vapor, chocking out any trace of daylight from the world above. Heavy footsteps splashed across the damp, grime-coated stone, kicking up drops of the blackened water that lay in puddles scattered across the floor.
With every step, the distant screams grew closer, louder, echoing through the endless labyrinth of darkness. Every turn brought a dead end, the tunnels ending suddenly in thick stone walls, impenetrable doors, or iron grates that offered nothing but a hopeless glance through the

Among the Ashes
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave I will not let anything
Take away what's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
And I have loved you for a thousand years

Among the Ashes
Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever

Among the Ashes
I've been waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on, and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come

No, I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
It took so long just to feel all right
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said
I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said
Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling, everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be all right
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

I'll keep it to myself while your
Brave eyes swim in my head
Your charm cannot distract me from
The path I'm born to tread
Less daunting as team
You unlikely king
By my side
And me so much better for trusting you
My hand over your heart while you
Keep hindrances at bay
Color me surprised by how
Our union saves the day
How I've grown to need you
As my solo journey fades
How I love to love you
And how loyal I'd remain
I remain

The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

"Jeigan!" Manasa screamed as she materialized back on the roof of the castle, clutching Jag beside her. "Jeigan!"
"I'm here!" Jeigan rushed to her side, pausing when he spotted Jag. "Where did he come from?"

Among the Ashes
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
