Kingdom Memories

Kingdom Memories - SoundTeMP
(Soundtrack from Ragnarok Online)

Listening to this song always makes me feel like I’ve been transported back into medieval times…...

***

A castle.

The first meeting. In the gardens.

The lady, admiring the roses. A gentleman, dressed in white. He, soft, golden brown hair, piercing green eyes. She, golden curls, bright blue eyes. He walks towards her. She looks up, wary. Introduces himself. He smiles, hands her a red rose. She takes it, gently. His hand brushes hers. She flushes. Courteously takes her gloved hand and plants a gentle kiss there.


Fast forward.
Night. Majestic hall, beautiful lights. Men, in their best coats. Ladies, in their dresses, jewelry on their ears, neck, glimmering. Food. Feasting. Light. Sounds. Music. Laughter. Dancing.

He walks up to her. Bows.

“May I have this dance, my lady?”

She smiles, takes his hand. They stride onto the dance floor. She curtsies, he bows. A hand on his shoulder. A hand on her waist. Moving fluidly across the floor. Steps. Rhythm. Her perfume. His warmth. In his arms. Protected. Staring into each other’s eyes.

In love.


Fast forward.
War. Chaos. Shouting. Screaming. Dying.

“Where is he?”
“Where is he!?”

Running, running, running.
Searching, looking.
Tears.
Grief.
Insanity.

A princess. Left alone in a city of ruin.
Running. Dark and deserted halls.
Weeping. In search of her lost love.

I really miss RO~
