“The king did not sing the song of a beast and his rogue queen, nor of a thief and her dark love. He did not sing of a broken-hearted raven and her golden king. Riot Ode’s song divided his power over magicks. He gave his gifts to the land to hide for others to find. He sacrificed his life for a curse that went against a natural order. It destroyed him but allowed another’s song to take shape.”
