[Intro - Soft acoustic guitar. Single violin note. Wind through leaves.]
[Gentle, sorrowful voice]
I met him in the springtime, when the flowers bloomed so bright
He was a human hunter—I knew this would end in tears.
But Wyverian hearts are patient.
[Verse 1 - Intimate, fingerpicked]
He walked into my village with a Rathian scar
I patched his wounds beneath the evening star
He looked at me with human eyes, so fleeting and so bright
And I fell in love that very night
He stayed a week, then two, then three, then seasons passed us by
I watched his hair grow silver while I stayed the same—and why?
I'll be young forever, love—and you'll be by my side
Until you're not.
[Pre-Chorus - Strings enter softly]
Time moves slow for me
But for you, it's racing
I can see the end approaching
[Chorus - Haunting, tragic]
I will be your Wyverian wife, I'll love you 'til the end
I'll hold your hand when you grow old, I'll be your dearest friend
I'll watch our children grow and age while I stay just the same
And when you're gone, I'll speak your name—and carry on the flame
[Verse 2 - Gentle, more instrumentation]
We married in the autumn, when the leaves were gold and red
I wore a crown of elder blooms, he held my hand and said
"Forever" like he meant it—but forever's for the birds
That circle in the sky and never wonder where they'll go
Forever is a Wyverian's curse, it's all we'll ever know
He gave me a locket with his hair, now silver-white and grey
I'll wear it when they bury him—and every single day after
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Children came and grew
Grandchildren followed after
I stayed young while they all aged
[Chorus]
I am his Wyverian wife, I loved him 'til the end
I held his hand when he grew old, I was his dearest friend
I watched our children grow and age while I stayed just the same
And now he's gone, I speak his name—and carry on the flame
[Bridge - Spoken over soft piano]
[Whispered]
On his last night, he looked at me. "You'll love again."
I laughed. "I've loved you for sixty years. What's another eternity?"
He smiled. "That's what I'm afraid of."
...he always understood.
[Verse 3 - Emotional]
I go to his grave every spring when the flowers bloom so bright
I talk to him about the world, I tell him of our light
Our children's children visit me with tears
They ask how I carry on across the endless years
I tell them love is patient, love is kind, love never ends
It simply changes form—it becomes the strength that lends
Itself to every generation, every hunter's call
I am his Wyverian wife—and I will love him through it all
[Guitar Solo - Acoustic, melodic, weeping]
[Final Chorus - Layered, cathartic]
I was his Wyverian wife, I loved him 'til the end
I held his hand when he grew old, I was his dearest friend
I watched our children grow and age while I stayed just the same
And now he's gone, I speak his name—and carry on the flame
[Outro - Fading acoustic]
[Whispered]
The flowers bloom again, my love
I’ll visit soon
Always
