Between the Doors of Dawn | Chapter XIX | The Aelorian Chronicles

🎵 *Between the Doors of Dawn | Chapter XIX | The Aelorian Chronicles* Welcome to **Fantasy Realm Music**, where music opens the door to worlds beyond imagination. *Between the Doors of Dawn* is an original song inspired by **The Aelorian Chronicles Universe**. 🌌 *Story* *Between the Doors of Dawn* is the nineteenth chapter of *The Aelorian Chronicles*, as two distant doorways reveal a hidden refuge where a lost people have waited beyond the passing of ordinary time. Within its fading halls, a child still holds the ribbon her mother tied before their farewell. As the refuge begins to fail, the explorers discover that reaching its people is only the beginning — they must find a way to bring them through. A tender and cinematic chapter about waiting, sacrifice, and a fragile light left burning by the First Light. 🎼 *Lyrics* Is the orchard still there? We have carried something from it. Will you tell us who you are? The golden branches drew apart. A narrow doorway filled with dawn. A girl stood barefoot on the stone, A faded ribbon in her palm. Behind her stretched a quiet hall, With sleeping figures by the wall. No wind disturbed the hanging light. No window opened into night. In Sha'Kar, a mother waited. Far away, her daughter stared. Through separate doors they saw one child, And knew the same small room was shared. The captain kept beside the frame. The Keeper watched the steady flame. We saw you in the silver trees. My mother said to wait for me. Between the doors of dawn, How long have you been waiting? With all your candles burning low, And no one at the gate? We have brought the names you left, The songs you could not carry. If there is still a road to you, You need not walk alone. Hold the light. Stay beside me. We have come to bring you home. An elder rose beside the child, His robe worn thin, his manner mild. We crossed before the paths went dark. She stayed to hide our final mark. This hall was folded from the ways That carried voices between stars. We slept beneath its sheltered glow. How many years? We do not know. The captain touched the rescued stone. The orchard shimmered, small and clear. The child reached toward her mother's face, Then stopped before the light could fade. She tied this ribbon yesterday. No answer hurried through the hall. No promise tried to cover all. Her memory waited by the tree. She kept your names. She helped us see. Did she forget to follow me? She stayed so you could leave. The girl held tight the ribbon's thread. The elder bowed his weary head. A sound like winter crossed the floor. A hairline fracture split the door. The hidden ceiling lost a star; Its dust fell cold upon their arms. The Keeper counted every flare. The Child of Flame knelt close to hear. The light that holds this refuge fails. Then you have come before its end. Beyond the walls, a shadow passed. The sheltered lamps began to bend. Between the doors of dawn, How long have you been waiting? With all your candles burning low, And no one at the gate? We have brought the names you left, The songs you could not carry. If there is still a road to you, You need not walk alone. Hold the light. Stay beside me. We have come to bring you home. The mother called through Sha'Kar's door. The waking people crossed the floor. But at the threshold, light gave way; Their footsteps met a gulf of grey. The captain reached across the seam. Her hand passed through a broken gleam. The doors can show us where we stand. They cannot bear us as we are. Between the doors of dawn, We will keep the candles burning. Let every frightened sleeper wake; Let every name be heard. Mind shall measure. Flame shall answer. We will learn what holds this place. Stay beside me. Hold the light. No one waits alone tonight. The elder turned the rescued stone. Nine marks encircled one pale spark. First Light left this burning When the refuge doors were sealed. Can it carry them? Only while it lasts. 📖 *Universe / Series* THE AELORIAN CHRONICLES ──────────────────── ✨ *About Fantasy Realm Music* Fantasy Realm Music is a journey through distant planets, forgotten kingdoms, mysterious civilizations, magical realms, and stories written among the stars.
