{ AVALON (아발론) - SOMNIUM Audio Intro }

"

What is…Emotion? Is it just a human reaction? The rush when we smile? The weightless joy when you’re in love? Or the twisting dread of anger…? To many, it is an everyday expression, But to those who believe… It is a culmination of dreams and wishes. The manifestation of our heart’s true desires.

It can be Hope’s guiding light, The Ocean’s peaceful waves… Passionate flames that burn to the skies… It can be a single blossom that heals the soul, Or the courage to stand among the storms… As the humble winds fade to the moon, It can simply be the fact… you are proud to be awake.

It now lies below… Dormant for eons… Waiting for Humanity’s call. As the sands of time fall, the chains tighten Hearts weighed down by the world’s control With the Dragoon’s call…it will awaken again. You… will awaken again. Emotion will rise… And our reign… will begin…
