My character's name is Montezuma Yu. He is half-undead and half-dwarf. He uses an obsidian naginata blessed by all the gods. It is especially effective against undead. He is the first half-dwarf and he explores the world with his fleet of mana ziggurat ships made from all of the elements combined. He rides a wyvern-hydra-bullette that has a saddle which lets him breath underwater. He needs to breath even though he is half-undead or his undead side will take over, he will enter BEAST MODE and he will become a demon zombie ghost pirate with a flaming beard.

I remember when the world went beneath the mighty waves, young lad. We were a strong lot back then. Sprawling cities. Powerful military. Booming economy. The whole nine yards. For the longest time, we were sure of ourselves, sure that our world would continue forever. We had just staved off the worst downturn our people have ever experienced and brought our culture back to the heyday it was beforehand. It took a very long time, ever since before I was born, but we made it through at the last minute. We finally came together to conquer what seemed to be the inevitable.

Or so we thought.

Just as things were getting back to what we called normal, the world shook as if it was trying to rid itself of us, as if a mutt would try to rid himself of his fleas. Colossal spires crumbled before the world’s might. The masses swarmed about in chaotic panic. Terrible blazes consumed entire cities. And then the waves came, crashing into anything and everything. The very world we thought was ultimately benign and bent to our will had sprung a last-ditch effort to finish us off. All of our enemies’ armies, all of the economy’s woes, all of the infighting in our halls, all of that couldn’t do what the world did in one fell swoop – eliminate our dominance over it.

It was a miracle that any of us survived at all, but I suppose it’s in our nature to come through even the worst anyone – including the world itself – can dish out at us. It took us a while, but we managed to find this island, seemingly untouched by the calamity set upon us. Slowly, but surely, we started to establish ourselves on this tiny speck of sand. There were many who died here, those who couldn’t adapt to these new conditions, but I’m glad we were able to continue. You are proof that we can make it through this. You’ve been taught how to fish, how to swim, how to row. But most importantly, you’ve been taught how to make music.

That horn in your hands was handed down from generations of my family, and it is your most valuable possession. You must do everything in your power to protect it and hand it down to your children when the time comes. I didn’t believe it myself when I heard it from your mother, but that horn is not only famous, but powerful. I knew that it was used to make some of the most glorious music in a past age, but I didn’t know its full power until she taught me how to play it. You see that land bridge over yonder? Yeah, right there. Well, your mother and I have been building it with our song carrying across the winds. There’s just something about how the winds carry our tune, our wishes through song.

We want to reunite with the rest of our people. We know they’re out there, just as lonely and desperate as us. And it’s as if the winds hear our wishes and makes pieces of the bridge as we go along. It will be your duty to keep building that bridge with our song. I don’t know if the bridge will be completed in your lifetime, but someday, the Gillespie clan will eventually come together with another clan. Then another. And another. We need to come together and share our songs to rebuild our world.

But you must become careful of the songs you make. You remember little Billy who drowned a couple years ago, right? His father was stricken with the worst grief – he made it through the catastrophe but he lost his son to the waves anyway. I heard him humming a little ditty, something he used to hum to Billy to put him to sleep every night when he was born. It must have been laced with that terrible longing to see him again because, wouldn’t you know it, little Billy clawed himself out of his grave. It was lucky that his father soon snapped back to reality and realized how awful the sight of his dead son was that his song’s spell was broken and little Billy came to rest once more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone longed for the folly that was the old world strong enough to bring forth the dead from beneath the waves. Just the right feelings in the right song makes all the difference. I will teach you the songs that build the bridge, the songs that bring peace to others, the songs that keep us alive and hopeful. But it is ultimately up to you to keep them that way. Do not mourn my passing when it comes. Celebrate my life and the gifts I give to you. Do not long for the past ages of excess and false dominance. Be thankful for the chance you have been given to start anew. I’m sure that there are others out there, others with their own songs. Make sure that yours is the song that rises above all others. Become that beacon of hope in this world of water.
