[Intro - Soft horns. Gentle strings. Snow falling. A warm voice begins.]
[Warm, relieved voice]
We watch the horizon for the flag... the signal of your return...
Seliana Wyverians—we keep the fires burning.
---
[Verse 1 - Gentle orchestral, building hope]
We watch the horizon for the flag that signals your return
We've kept the fires burning, we've had so much to learn
From your tales of battle, from your scars and from your pride
Seliana Wyverians—we welcome you inside
The frozen winds may bite and howl, the snow may pile high
But here within these walls, we wait and watch the frozen sky
For any sign, for any hope, for any hunter's form
To break the white horizon and come in from out the storm
---
[Pre-Chorus - Strings swell]
Hunters roam far from home
We await by the gate
---
[Chorus - Massive, triumphant]
HOMECOMING! THE LONG-AWAITED DAY!
HOMECOMING! WE WATCH AND PRAY!
HOMECOMING! THE HUNTERS RETURN AT LAST!
SELIANA WYVERIANS—THE WAITING'S FINALLY PAST!
---
[Verse 2 - Warm, hopeful]
I remember when you left us, gear strapped tight upon your back
You smiled and waved and promised you'd be careful on the track
We watched you fade into the white, a speck upon the snow
And every day we prayed you'd find the strength to make it home
The elder dragons you would face, the monsters in your path
We studied all the reports and felt a mixture of fear and wrath
But now you're here, you're standing tall, you made it back alive
Seliana Wyverians—we welcome you, you've survived
---
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fires warm, shield from storm
You are home, safe and warm
---
[Chorus]
HOMECOMING! THE LONG-AWAITED DAY!
HOMECOMING! WE WATCH AND PRAY!
HOMECOMING! THE HUNTERS RETURN AT LAST!
SELIANA WYVERIANS—THE WAITING'S FINALLY PAST!
---
[Bridge - Spoken over strings]
[Elderly voice, emotional]
Every time you walk out that gate, a part of us walks with you.
Every time you come back, a part of us comes home.
...welcome home.
---
[Verse 3 - Triumphant]
We've mended all your armor, we've prepared your favorite meal
We've kept your room exactly as you left it—it's so real
To see you standing here alive, to see you breathe and talk
To watch you walk through Seliana's gate and not just walk but stalk
The monsters didn't get you, the cold didn't claim your soul
You fought and bled and battled and you somehow stayed in control
And now you're home, you're safe, you're here—the nightmare's finally done
Seliana Wyverians—we celebrate, we've won
---
[Orchestral Solo - Triumphant horns, sweeping strings]
---
[Final Chorus - Massive, tearful]
HOMECOMING! THE LONG-AWAITED DAY!
HOMECOMING! WE WATCHED AND PRAYED!
HOMECOMING! THE HUNTERS RETURN AT LAST!
SELIANA WYVERIANS—THE WAITING'S FINALLY—
---
[Outro - Warm hearth]
[Whispered]
...past.
The fires burn bright tonight.
...you're home.
