TBCSS: S01E05 – Frozen Mind

It’s a peaceful day in Icy Forest, the industrious Kerims, elves of the ice, fulfill their daily duties, happy to contribute to the country’s wealth and natural balance of the universe. The Queen herself is busy in her chamber, making an inventory of the provisions her skillful subjects have collected during the year; she is so deeply absorbed in her task that she almost doesn’t hear her maid screaming:

“My queen! My queen! Come at the window, something’s happening!”

She graciously heads towards the window to see something she never expected to see: four men rushing towards her castle, bearing the royal banners of all the other three reigns. She suddenly realizes that something really serious is happening if all the kings were calling at her in person, so she immediately orders to lower the drawbridge and rushes down the stairs to get to the parlor while asking herself who could the young boy be. She meets the kings and she’s shattered by the news, but there is something else that bothers her even more… who is that boy? What is this unsettling feeling she has? Shena’s mind, always tranquil, cold and firm is now crossed by a myriad of conflicting emotions that worry her and change her own nature. Embarrassed by her inability to tame her feelings, she tries to hide her discomfort – which is very clear in her eyes though –  and leaves with the kings, torn inside, anxious to discover the truth about Sendor, about the Sword, about Dorus.

5. FROZEN MIND

(Shena)
The kings are coming from their lands
theyʼre calling at me
it must be serious if this time
they have come this far
this visit is unexpected
Iʼm anxious to know
no time to waste lower the drawbridge
and open the gates

among them thereʼs a stranger
I donʼt understand

the kings are reaching the parlor
Iʼm worried as hell
the truth they tell me is even
worse than i thought
I feel thereʼs something unusual
thatʼs happening to me
I feel thereʼs something familiar
in Dorusʼs voice

in the look of the stranger
something makes me startle

chaos-clearness
reason-madness
balance- sadness
crushing in my head

(Storyteller)
Luminous-skin with the look of an angel
Shena the queen of the Kerims of ice
mistress and guardian of Icy Forest
Beautiful lady so fair and pure.

(Shena)
Sendor is weaving
his webs around us all
the whole worldʼs in danger

(Storyteller)
Luminous-skin with the look of an angel
Shena the queen of the Kerims of ice
mistress and guardian of Icy Forest
Beautiful lady so fair and pure.

(Storyteller)
The face of her majesty
reveals the clash
a weighty feeling is
growing in her frozen mind
sheʼs staring at his eyes
she wonders what is tearing out her soul

(Shena)
The kings are ready to take off
Iʼm leaving with them
Iʼm not at ease with this perception
I have in my paunch
I feel thereʼs something unusual
thatʼs happening to me
I feel thereʼs something familiar
in Dorusʼs voice

in the look of the stranger
something makes me startle

chaos-clearness
reason-madness
balance- sadness
crushing in my head

(Storytellers)
Luminous-skin with the look of an angel
Shena the queen of the Kerims of ice
mistress and guardian of Icy Forest
Beautiful lady so fair and pure.

(Shena)
Sendor is weaving
his webs around us all
the whole worldʼs in danger

(Storytellers)
Luminous-skin with the look of an angel
Shena the queen of the Kerims of ice
mistress and guardian of Icy Forest
Beautiful lady so fair and pure.

Luminous-skin with the look of an angel
Shena the queen of the Kerims of ice
mistress and guardian of Icy Forest
Beautiful lady so fair and pure
you can see in her eyes.
