Vulcan and Eira were two lovers who fought and began to hate each other to the point where they took their preferred children and took over their own kingdoms in the land of the dead. At first, they thought they could raise their own family in peace, but the bond between them that existed because of their marriage made them constantly think about each other as their damaged relationship torn at their very heart and soul. To sever this bond, they began to rose up armies to fight against one another. As he watched his army and children arm themselves and train, he sang in the same way that helped him take his kingdom so that his army will be more energized to fight.
Ready your weapons
Ready your guns
My daughters and sons
Our enemy is coming
There is no running
Our vengeance will be swift
Death will be our gift
Our gift to the vile queen and her slaves
Let us help them dig their graves.
Vulcan’s army was filled with a sense of anger and hate that fueled them to craft better weapons and train harder. They made weapons of fire and heat that some would say was made from the fires of the sun. On the opposite end, Eira crafted weapons of ice that were said to be inspired by the icy feeling of her heart. Her army and children trained and similarly armed themselves as she sang for them to continue on.
Do not falter
Do not waver
We have a victory to savor
We will overwhelm them with might
They will not be able to put up a fight
Justice is on our side against the crooked king
Join me and let us sing!
Her army and children sang alongside her as the music and chanting empowered their vitriol against their enemy. Both Vulcan and Eira felt the power of each other’s singing despite the vast distance that separated them. They looked in the direction where each other was and sang against each other’s song.
Heartless lover
Shameful mother
Do you love no other than yourself?
You were a princess
Your kingdom was your business
Wealth and products were your sword and shield
Your work was where your true nature was revealed
Your workers were your slaves
You punished those who misbehaved
You even got our children involved
The promises of power and success enthrall
Man without honor
Shameful father
I did what I had to
You played politics
I fixed the system with tricks
You were loyal to your party
While you left poor people starving
You pretended to be a struggling hero
You and your useless bureau
You fooled many including our children
And made me look like the villain
I talked with kings and queens
I could’ve accomplished it all by any means
But you had to go against the system
You and your friends with your self-righteous mission
I will set things right
And bring your deeds to the light
The time is now approaching
So cease your pointless boasting
I had strings in all kingdoms
They paid for my wisdom
Many kings and queens were my puppets
This is why I will be triumphant
You influenced minorities
I inspired majorities
Victory will be mine
And all you will be able to do is cry
With their armies readied, they set off to battle. One entire kingdom with its allies faced another on a battlefield of roses. Vulcan’s army had a two headed dragon with one head on both ends of its body while Eira’s army had a black dragon with grey flames that danced across its body. Both dragons looked like musical notes and smaller dragons that looked closer to musical notes followed behind them as both the king and queen sang against each other as their armies clashed.
Off with their heads
Cover your blades in red
The queen takes her final bow
Such is the fate of the filthy sow
Put all these wretches in the mud
I want to see you covered in their blood
Revenge is mine today
Do not have mercy on our prey
Eventually, Vulcan and Eira met on the battlefield and clashed swords. Vulcan used a brutish great sword while Eira used an elegant rapier. Both cut at each other with their blades without being able to land a killing blow especially since they were already dead.
Killing you over and over shouldn’t be a chore
But you are making this such a bore
Die already so I can be with my family
You’ve caused us too much agony
Their fighting continued until they see both sides of their families broken on the ground as the armies continuously fought even as they lost their heads, arms, and legs. Heads, arms, legs, and bodies hit each other over and over violently with seemingly no end in sight. Seeing this, woke up Vulcan and Eira from their blood fueled hatred as they now sang sorrowfully.
What have I done?
Why did I think this battle would be fun?
I’m a failure of a father and leader
I should’ve been less of a speaker and more of a healer
What have I done?
I’ve pitted my daughters against my sons
I’m a failure of a mother and lover
How can my sins be covered?
It’s this land of the dead
In which we were wed
We were supposed to change this place
Oh, how we have fallen from grace
Eira, my love, I am sorry for not doing what I said I would
To you, I am no good
Vulcan, my love, it is I who should be sorry
I’m the worst person you could’ve married
After a make up kiss, Vulcan and Eira broke their song spell that they had over everyone and confess to their crimes. They are each put into jail, but every day, they sang to each other across the great distance to comfort the other. This singing brought tears to the eyes of people from both kingdoms who then allowed them to be together as long as they promise never to use their singing to take control over people’s minds again. They made this promise and sung songs of joy and stories to brighten people’s days and to improve their lives and minds for the better. This brought the land of the dead to life and though some may say Vulcan and Eira broke their promise by changing the land with their singing, there are those who don’t mind because they used their God-given gifts for what they were meant to be used for.
The End
