Ending 4: Suho "The Skywalker"

The Well of Emerald Waters

This is part of a multi-post. Please be sure you've read from "The Fade" before continuing. 

 

CODEX UPDATED

The following song was pieced together somewhere near the end of the Dragon Age, 9:45, sometimes under the name "The Skywalker" which would be later added to the ending of A Compendium of Stories in the Dragon Age. Its origins thus place it within the realm of possibility that Suho, a dwarf of Orzammar, is the true hero of the Well of Emerald Waters, a legend and certainly a place thought lost to our times. Little is known about the hero himself, practically nothing about his origins, why he left Orzammar, or how he became mixed up with so many other personages whose names became famous for their contributions towards discovering (and then losing) the location of the well. But as for this mystery, herein follows the song.

A great hero he

That dwarf from Orzammar

Who lived underground

In the lap of luxury 

 

Great wealth he should have known

From birth until he died

Yet he died a pauper's death

Covered with flowers grown

 

Of the knight he did well love

And was well loved in return

They say was no real knight

But an assassin from above

 

And they met before the pool

That terrible ancient place 

Where Suho gave his life 

His friends to save, oh fool

 

But his memory lives on

In the lives he freely saved

For he granted them their wishes

Even after he was gone 

 

For Kyungsoo, his first friend

A cure he did achieve

He made him not so grey

But alive with much to tend

 

And for Xiumin, evil mage

Suho took away his shame

And his guilt and all his grief

Let him live without his rage

 

But for Minseok, he could not 

His every wish achieve

For this mage's wish was just

That all evil should be fought

 

And the well was evil still

From its origin, its core

It resisted and it took

Suho's life, his dreams, his will

 

So many heroes mourn

Brave Suho, for his courage

For the sacrifice he made 

By his life, his body torn

 

Now remember this forever 

And all magic do avoid

Though it may give gifts aplenty

For price though it will sever

 

Dear Suho, noble lord

Will his name be sung for ages

In the taverns, bars, and brothels

Where all list'ners ne'er be bored

 

 

~ This heroic song was probably first sung around 9:40 in Redcliffe Tavern by the bard Joon Young. Though, due that to that minstrel's atrocious voice, the song quickly fell out of favor. Fortunately though for its titular hero, the song was heard yet again near ten years later in Denerim and became a favorite for young mothers to sing to their babies, usually as a teaching instrument about the evils of all magic. Many seem to forget that its hero was a dwarf or that dwarves cannot do magic, but such details never figure with songs anyways, so who actually cares.
