Verse 1 - Daniel, voice a mix of awe and bewilderment)
Explosion in the hall, a roar that shook the air,
My team rushed to find out, what strange sight waited there!
A colossal Grimm, not rage within its eyes,
But searching, seeking, beneath these startled skies.
Then it saw me, a squeal, it bounded to my side,
Not clawing, but embracing, nowhere left to hide.
Its tendrils wrapped around me, a sudden, warming glow,
Weiss tried to pull it back, a hiss, "Let him go!"
(Chorus - Daniel, voice echoing slightly, otherworldly)
A voice inside my mind, "Listen, mortals, hear my call!"
"I'm a messenger from beyond, to warn you, one and all!
The balance is now threatened, the chosen one revealed,
Ancient power flows through me, now openly unsealed!"
"The power that now holds him, is creation's very core,
But it's a beacon, for those who want much more!"
(Verse 2 - Daniel, more determined, a sense of destiny)
Weiss stepped close, her hand outstretched, "Daniel, is that you?"
The voice ignored her plea, its message breaking through.
"Fear not, Weiss Schnee," it said, so calm, so soft, so deep,
"Your mate is safe and sound, his sacred form I keep.
I borrow him to speak, a message of great weight."
She trusted, nodded then, accepting of my fate.
"Daniel, you must be wary, for Salem's reach is far,
She'll claim this power, she'll reach for every star!"
(Bridge - Daniel, resolute, with underlying orchestral swell)
"Gather your true allies, forge bonds where none exist,
Prepare for coming battles, don't let this power be dismissed!
You're not alone, chosen one, in this unfolding fight,
Those who stand beside you, are your greatest strength and light!
Trust in them, in yourself, as shadows start to grow."
(Outro - Daniel, voice returns to normal, a thoughtful, hopeful fade)
A final gentle squeeze, the tendrils pulled away,
My voice returned to normal, as morning follows day.
My aura pulsed with energy, the crowd in awe and fear,
Weiss rushed to hold me close, "Daniel, what happened here?"
Ruby, Yang, and Blake, their questions filled the space,
Qrow watched, hand on his hilt, a grim look on his face.
"It's a long story, friends," I said, "of what we must now do..."
