The Lady of Light confronts the Dark Dweller and attempts to dissuade him from delivering the Boy to the Mysterious Man (David the Elder). Having no effect on his mind or will, the Lady realizes her course of action: she surrenders to the Dark Dweller and is taken prisoner alongside the Boy.
Harried by the Four Ageless, the Dark Dweller and his pair of prisoners cross through the Seven Spectral Suns realms (Red Sun, Orange Sun, Yellow-Green Suns, Blue Sun, Violet Sun, White Sun) searching out the six codes—musical melodies that will form the key and allow access to the Dark Domain. While pursued by her wards, the Lady of Light secretly bolster’s the Boy’s bravery in order to thwart the Dark Dweller’s hold on him.
lyrics
Passing through the beauty of time
One boy’s world in a lone frame of mind
Cast astray by his own birthright
Must cascade through the land of night
Can you hear the calling of the song?
A musical journey once so often longed
Will you find the key to inspire the door?
Unlock the memory of what you see once more.
Hear the whisper spoken softly to you
A guiding voice so near and true
Letting your mind go to that familiar place
To bridge the gap to your saving grace.
Love for all that you have once lost
Can you find what you once forgot?
Fading lights away that must care
To empower love that once was there.
A whisper set between time
To join a memory of a lost mind,
Can you find it in you?
So soft, a hurt body torn by decay
Trapped in world that just won’t obey
Feelings of love, images of the past
A lost life that once was cast
Words spoken created worlds unknown
Beings divided by the master’s throne
Longing for the peace and serenity
The embrace of what is to be
Hear the whisper spoken softly to you
A guiding voice so near and true
Letting your mind go to that familiar place
To bridge the gap to your saving grace.
Love for all that you have once lost
Can you find what you once forgot?
Fading lights away that must care
To empower love that once was there.
A whisper - now calling you
To join a memory of a love that’s true,
Can you find it in you?
Mind, peace and body prevail
One soul who thoughts will not fail
Let yourself — just breathe—
Now that you have come so far from home
To realize that you are not alone.
Your potential is buried down deep inside
No longer will you listen to the lies.
A mother’s touch, a father’s care
Once lost will now - soon be there.
To guide your path, a hero reigns true
To find the world within the mind of you
Hear the whisper spoken softly to you
A guiding voice so near and true
Let your mind - go to that familiar place
To bridge the gap to your saving grace.
Love for all that you have once lost
You will find what you once forgot.
Fading away the lights that care
To empower love that once was there.
Oh it’s just a Whisper…
