Chapter 22 - Riftborn Verse I: The Chains Below

Rei's Song – Sung softly, near a dying fire in Blackstone Keep

[Verse 1 – Beneath the Black Stone]

I closed my eyes, stained by the dark

No voice reached me—not even the gods

Chains gnawed away each dream I held

As I counted days turning into ash

[Verse 2 – The Tiger Blade]

A blade as white as the moon did dance

Carving its path through rivers of blood

Within a vow that needed no words

Your eyes returned the life I'd lost

[Chorus – Song of the Rift]

Within the Rift, a power sleeps

The wind still calls a forgotten name

Darkness laughs inside these hands

And even so… I walk forward

[Outro – With the Void]

In a world forsaken by the gods

Only the heart can become the blade

And so I remain, the nameless one

Together… with the void
