ADAKIAS
Look at all that which surrounds me
I’m supposed to call this home?
The Dark has [bad word] so overwhelming,
So why don’t I just go?

SANGARA & TOWNSFOLK
Why can’t you be more like your brother?
Together you [bad word] the throne,
The evil and darkness would grow
This kingdom needs you!

ADAKIAS
“Why can’t you be more like Pallis?” they always ask
Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy?
As a child I heard such wonderful stories
Of The Lamps, and The Oracle, and Holy The Sea

SANGARA & TOWNSFOLK
Silly boy, you speak of fiction
Silly boy, you can’t just leave everything
For some fairy-tale ending, myth or legend

ADAKIAS
O, what’s the use?
Well, maybe they’re right
What’s the point of dreaming if it can never materialize?

Townsfolk are ashamed
Why can’t I live up to my family name?
Well it’s not me that you see,
It’s just my pedigree

SANGARA & TOWNSFOLK
You’re a reckless and romantic rogue
Your head is in the clouds
You’ll be chained here all your life,
Shackled to the ground
You’re not the chosen one!

ADAKIAS
Don’t you ever dream of some place better?
Or a life that’s greater?
Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been
Destined for something bigger than your skin?

PALLIS
You are so foolish
The Dark has been your home
If you elope, I’ll hunt you down
Through suffering you’ll atone

ADAKIAS
Dear Pallis, you’re my brother
You’ve loved and watched over me
But there’s something bigger at stake
My purpose is this journey

PALLIS
Brother, you are shortsighted
Naïve and starry-eyed
You are not the chosen one
This will be your demise

ADAKIAS
Brother, I can’t help this feeling
My heart tells me [bad word] You were meant [bad word] the Dark
I was meant to see the sun

Don’t you ever dream of some place better,
Where the lights shine brighter?
Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been
Destined for something bigger than your skin?
I think I’ll just go

NARRATION
Adakias, tired of fiction and bound by his ambition, left his home for the city of Light. Disguised as a citizen, his identity was hidden within a city that sat glistening. He was eager for this new life. He contemplated, and hated, why had he waited so long? To flee his home, forever shaded, where the jaded were never wrong. He took a deep breath, he was finally gone. His hope was left strong that a meaning would be found that had kept him withdrawn. His stare had caught a light, and he fell for the sight. Her name was Princess Anhura and she suffered from the same strife. And, like Adakias, she spent most of her time dreaming of a different life.

PRINCESS ANHURA
Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been
Destined for something bigger than your skin?
