Dwarven War Song

Gone is the quiet. Gone is the holding back.

The war is here. The war is back.

We are readied from the fear, of loosing all we hold dear.

We fear all for we care for all.

We destroyed the plights drowning our dwindling lights.

We will make it right.

Born in the dark.

Nurtured by stone.

Forged by the core.

No longer shall we be broken. For now we break.
---
A dwarven song, newly crafted for an old friend. Saved from horrors and now they know that war is back, they will not flee like they once did. In the war then never really ended. 

The very ground quakes with their words, their hum, the ground echoes in odd ways and begs for them to heed their words. Begging all to help. 

-On to war-

It cries. Not in blood lust. Not in wanton destruction. 

In a plea to make the echoing pain stop. If even just for a moment.

Just to break the cycle once.

That's all that's truly needed.
