They managed to pull her to safety, but she was still very battered. Everybody thought she wouldn't pull through because of her wounds. The position of Queens Own is meant for a guiding friend and a place to find emotional support. Now, you love your Queen and the Queen's best friend is the Queen's Own.

It's been decades since I read that trilogy but on reading your comment, I am reminded how angry the Valdemaran forces were in the book.

@sarahmatteson4688

5 жыл бұрын

The song is from the three book series "The Heralds of Valdemar", the first book is named "Arrows of the Queen" by Mercedes Lackey. The song was written from Queen Selenay's perspective after discovering that her 'Queens Own'; Herald Talia, closest and most trusted advisor/confidant to the Queen; had been tortured and raped repeatedly by the traitor King Ancar's orders after going there with her partner Herald Kris to conduct a marriage proposal for the Queens daughter Elspeth. When they retrieved Talia from the Kings guards, they discovered her feet had been shattered as well as numerous other bones and a handprint had been seared into her flesh by magic. And since Talia was an Empath with incredible strength, the mental trauma severely outweighed the physical torture due to her being forced to listen and feel their pleasure toward her pain. Selenay was furious that they'd brutalized her much-beloved Herald and murdered her cousin Kris in cold blood, and immediately summoned as much force as she could to stamp out Ancar's forces before he could take her Kingdom by surprise. Because she was also a Herald while being Queen, she was forced to ignore Talia's suffering until after the battle instead of going into the Vanguard herself and slitting every throat she came across like she desperately wanted to. The army she gathered was INCREDIBLY angry with what had befallen Herald Talia (poor kid was loved by literally EVERYONE she met in Valdemar) and sent word to literally every Herald they could and summoned every man that could hold either a bow or sword or wield a Mage-Gift or Heraldic Gift to battle. Within a fortnight Selenay had almost three thousand men and women ready to wreck the Kingdom that had hurt Talia and tried to usurp their Monarch. The whole series itself is a fantastic read, 9000/10 would definitely recommend. Especially if your into Fantasy and Kingdom stories like me.

A soul can only reproduce with another soul born of the same light of gods essence marked by paleness .Two halves giving themselves willingly to each other. Christians say their is only one god and this means alien souls are a deception and do not exist and alien people are no different then the common beasts of the forests.

I don't think he compared to Lavan in terms of power, but he was still critical to Valdemar's survival that day.

I keep coming back to this song as I find it Very ADDICTIVE! I love all of her stories and this does follow Missy's story faithfully! Thank you for the post.It caused me to start buying her other music.

This video is beautifully done, artworks , and lyrics and style of text-display. One never seems to stop and think about the right choice of Layout. Great work there.

This fits a few scenes I’ve written, and they’re such fun scenes to write. The “two characters surrounded in fire and the clashing of blades, face to face, fight to the death”

I consider this song one of the best ones. certainly MY FAVORITE!

We love you, Mercedes Lackey!

Hope that was as fun making as it was listening to. Thanks Falling.

well the clashing version would be about "give me power, die so i may use your blood to power my spells, while i rape and torture young women to further my tyrannical and murderous rule of the country i claimed by patricide." Ancar was a seriously Mucked up personality and literally drained his countries magical energy to the point of ecological disaster. other than that, yes it would be interesting to see an opposing song :D

Beautiful artwork, gives more towards the "fury towards evil enemies", a sword weilding song from a Warrior who protects her own kingdom with a song of a cadence rythym, as we sing our own songs to "fight monsterous enemies" who plagueour lives. We, ourselves, can win battles, with your written lyrics, as so we dream our dreams, and fight our daily battles.

I know my kind isn't welcome here, but... this song is so full of melodramatic anger of the "make you watch evil laughter scrolling down your screen for a full minute and then crash your game" kind but from a good person rather than an evil one, and I haven't listened to this song since Deltarune came out, and I can't help thinking of a different hurt Kris and imagining any one of their royal family members taking revenge on the humans who hurt them, and singing this!

Gotta read more by Mercedes Lackey - her work is AWESOME!

really like the song and that army like an eager hound, the way she sung it really threw me off guard and I had to go back and re listen cause damn I was about to say nope to a good song

Loved it!!! Great job on the video. Just love the song.

love this song cant get it outta my head

this is an absolutely AMAZING song!

I’m now imagining the villain, slightly shorter then most, kinda lean yet handsome, pale, blond with short hair, with bright almost whitish blue eyes, and wearing Roman military gear with the muscle cuirass and golden wreath upon his head. Possessed of an infectious charisma, and can go from a soft spoken, sophisticated voice to loud and commanding, yet retaining grace all the same, ruthless, deviously cunning and intelligent, impeccable manners and seemingly always calm, collected and in control, taking insults towards his character, even the most vicious insults, seemingly in jest and amusement. Even when the tide is against him, he is seemingly possessed of a calm, almost jovial nature. He is also cruel, sadistic and possessed of a complete and utter belief in his superiority, so much so that attacks on his character and his supposed superiority do not phase, for what would a living God have to care about petty insults? Even with the army of the Queen upon his door, he remains calm, even facing death he has no fear, for tormenting this once noble, loving, calm, merciful and kind soul, and reducing her into a rage filled shell, consumed with the need for revenge, for killing but one insignificant Herald, is such an exquisite amusement to him. He has no fear or her, or her pathetic army of barbarians, for he know he will win, she does not know what he has in store for her and her army of halfwits and goatswilling inbred swine, and the mortified look of pathetic despair, indignation and rage that will be cast upon her beautiful face when he wins will be a joyful spectacle to witness. And if she does win, by some miracle, he’ll never give her the satisfaction of seeing himself beg, but will merely mock her for how she failed to save her beloved friend. And if this Queen saves him to torture him, then seeing her reduced to even more of a shell of her former self, and becoming the very thing she despised, will make the pain, even in Hell, so much more worth it. For to make even the Demons in Hell disgusted with him, is an achievement not granted to many, and only worthy of someone who was born with the Devil in him, and who was the chosen of Hell itself.

I've read many English poems but I've never seen anyone use the rhyme "despoil - foil" anywhere. Also I didn't even know the meaning of those words before, despite reading more than 2000 English books. Just amazing piece of art, what a song. An emotion of rage and vengeance here is expressed so clearly and with such vehemence that... I always start rooting for the character right away.

Loved the series and these songs are awesome

I love this song so much. Listening to this honestly makes me feel like I am tired epic fantasies series in 3 minutes.

I must count for at least 100 views so far. I love songs about revenge but this is pure art.

I like it. I'll never sing it, but I like it. Having read the book and all.

@@redhunter8731 Cousland version I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power- But Maker! How long I've waited just to see this very hour! It's just as well I'm not the one who calls the storm of fire--- Or I would turn this battle plain into your funeral pyre! Wynne all say I must not hate--- but I will not pretend. I saw the wreck you made of them, my nephew and my sister--- The scars you left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade--- Oh, would I had your coward heart beneath my naked blade! I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan, I must direct the fight from here, not charging in the van. As you will likewise do, no doubt, for all that you are cruel And revel in shed blood and pain, I think you are no fool. But in the name of sacred Andraste, you're all that I despise, Who stole by treachery my arl as your prize--- My family, my people, my Ferelden . All, you plotted to despoil--- By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil. I must control my fury or let slip all that I've sought- But vengeance would not be enough for all the grief you've wrought. Maker grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine--- And drink full deeply of defeat, that cold and bitter wine. The griffon is on my chest, my naked blade within my hand. My companions like an eager hound lie waiting my command. With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them this day--- By all the stars that ever shone, By the Maker, by Theirin's blood For my parents and my Cousland 's Own--- I swear that you will pay! Quarantine make me crazy

Even after the pain and years this reminds me why I go on

So the one singing is actually the queen. Her best friend and another of her "heralds" (special warriors with magic powers) were sent to broker a marriage treaty with a neighboring kingdom for her daughter. Instead Prince Ancar usurps the throne, kills one of the heralds and tortures, rapes, and mutilates the other. They are able to rescue the living one (the queens best friend) who warns them that war has been declared and Queen Selenay is now standing on the field of battle as Ancar's forces come to try to capture or kill her and her daughter.

If you don't know the story, I definitely recommend reading it! The story sung here is part of the Valdemar mega-series, by Mercedes Lackey. It references events from the 3rd book of the Arrows of the Queen trilogy (1. Arrows of the Queen, 2. Arrow's Flight, and 3. Arrows Fall). The queen singing here and the queen in Cost of the Crown are actually the same queen, from different points in her reign. She's also got a couple other songs. Additionally, there's a lot more songs for the Valdemar universe as well, referencing other characters and events.

I NEED to hear a rock version of this. PLEASE!!! Like avenge 7 fold style
