6. Lord Nafaryus (3:28)
Int. Emperor's Palace - Night.
Narrator:
How the rumours are spreading like vines,
of a man who has been glorified.
News finds its way to the Empire one day,
where the envious ruler resides.
Nafaryus:
Should I fall for the stories I hear?
Is he really a threat I should fear?
Such a foolish young man, doesn't seem to understand.
So let me be perfectly clear.
He may have them inspired, eating out of his hands.
But he'll never be ruler of this land.
For myself I must see, what the hype is about.
I admit I'm intrigued.
I've heard the whispering of revolution, I know the aim of your plan.
You think insurgency is your solution and put your faith in one man.
Narrator:
His decision is made, so his journey begins.
Off to the edge of The Realm to meet the savior.
In the coming days they'll announce his grace and he'll ask to be amazed.
As a symbol of power and might, it will make for a breathtaking sight.
In a massive display with his family and guards by his side.
Nafaryus:
Arabelle, who means the world to me.
Our loyal son, my heir, your future king.
And Faythe, I treasure more than all the diamonds in my crown.
It isn't hard to see, I couldn't be more proud.
Into the far off reaches of the land,
to witness this great spectacle first-hand.
Is Gabriel the God he claims to be?
I guess we'll see.
Yes, we shall see.
