[ti:The Origin] [ar:Haggard] [al:Tales Of Ithiria] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Origin - Haggard [00:16.67]It had already become day [00:18.67]as he opened the big wooden door [00:20.67]and stepped out of the shadows [00:22.47] [00:23.59]The sun had shown behind the eastern forest [00:26.71] [00:27.46]bright and warm in a cloudless sky [00:30.66] [00:34.71]As his eyes closed [00:36.05] [00:36.74]he slowly raised his head [00:38.24] [00:39.11]Gently the morning wind caressed his face [00:42.50] [00:43.12]and rustled through his long hair [00:44.96] [00:46.59]The chatter of the birds had become one [00:48.65]with the whispers of the black elders [00:51.03] [00:51.65]melding with the rhythmic babbling [00:53.15]of the little brook [00:54.54] [00:55.48]which wound its way to the distance [00:57.35]behind the humble grange [00:59.39] [01:02.70]But it has not always been like that [01:05.83] [01:09.08]One thousand seven hundred years ago [01:11.16]during the celebration of the two moons [01:13.72]the enemy forayed over powered the villagers [01:16.27]under the cloak of darkness [01:18.15] [01:18.90]Brave men were cut down [01:20.52]where they stood in the cold crisp autumn night [01:24.05] [01:25.24]The ones who still had life in their veins [01:28.01]escaped in despair [01:29.69] [01:30.75]but regathered quickly and formed a resistance [01:33.37] [01:34.30]Many among them women and children [01:37.30]only armed with axes torches and pitchforks [01:42.10] [01:43.60]And it seemed as if all hope was forsaken
