The final hurdle you must face
So that the throne you may deface
The first elden lord
You with a big sword
He was lord
You have grace

Today the dragonlord we meet
At the center of the great storm
It is him we hope to beat
For you must conquer all
He throws lightning in a sheet
You have your trusty magic
In the end the dragonord is beat
Winning is now your norm
God herself now awaits your meet

At the thorn that blocked thee
Sent you into a new world of pain
Here we are at the center now free
Passing into the golden fog
It is time now to face he
The Elden Beast mighty and flighty
It i s the battle to be freee
There is now much to gain
In the end, as foretold, the victor is me

You are on the path to be Elden Lord
Your battles are yet finished
But then

A secret medallion trusted to your hands
By a dying man in a lonely broken village
You follow its source
To a frozen ghostly castle

The spirits are restless and ferocious
Knights trapped in a endless battle
Knowing only pain and war
You free them

At its end
Their old commander
Barely clinging to life guarding a long lost treasure

You send him to his well earned rest
And the medallion you hold lies complete
It calls to you

Down through the grand lift
Through a forgotten old tomb
And a field lost in a storm

You reach an ancient town
Its inhabitants long dead
Sealing something off

Another battle ensues
Through memories of old
And the seal is broken

A portal
A gateway
Through it you go

A great tree
Grand and tingling with safety
Yet its rotting and bleeding.
Dying

You follow the path to its roots
Amidst creatures all lost and abandoned
Desperately trying to protect

You try to be gentle
Putting the select few
Out of their rotten mindless misery

A loyal knight sworn to protect
She refuses to grant you passage
Maddened and unable to think

With a heavy heart you do what you must
Letting the knight go out with pride
To a better time in a better place

Further down you go
Into the heart of its roots
And a old forgotten chamber

Lady Malenia, Famed Blade of her Brother Miquella
You hail her excitedly
Her brother is set free
His kidnapper dead at your hands

But the scarlet rot is too strong
Lady Malenia is but a shell of her self
Mindlessly performing her last duty
Thinking you've come to disturb her brother

She attacks
The greatest swordswoman of her time
Corpse after corpse in her wake
She had never known defeat

But you must survive
Your destiny is to be lord
And free this land
And she knows no reason

The battle is long
The battle is pain
The battle is at an end
She falls to her knees

A vassal of the goddess of rot
No longer the caring sister
Protector of the great safe haven
But a goddess of rot and disease

You put her to rest
In her final moments she seems to come to
Saying you were her only match
You hold her gently

She only fought for what was right
Only fought for her lost brother
She did not deserver this
But maybe now she is free

You've just barely understood this strange world
Death is all that you've known
You're hardly strong enough to hold a small sword
the magic flowing through you hardly conjuring a pebble

A voice calls to you
Gentle and kind flowing merrily in the wind
A rarity in this land
So you turn easily, looking for the source

A vision of beauty before you
A princess amongst the darkness
She asks for you
You stutter out a reply
She only seems amused gifting you a bell
And vanishing into the night saying
She says you may never meet again
But deep down you hope you do

Days pass, her gift proves invaluable
The more it saves your life the more you think of her
You brave your way one day
Into the Carian royal manor
Through its back gates you find a mysterious crystal
It calls to you and so you follow it on instinct

A mysterious dragon guards a tower
Its what's been calling you
You dodge past and march in
Hoping to find a new magic
At the top you find a great treasure
Its her. Its her once again

She asks what bring you here
You say the truth.
NO reason in particular
She seems quite amused before asking if you would serve her
She's the long lost Lunar Princess Ranni
A marvel of magic, and controller of the dark moon

You don't even hesitate
Her magic is great and wondrous
And would help even more on your journey
She seems
Happy
She says the fates have brought us together

You agree a little amused yourself
Your first task
Fetch her the treasure of Nokron
You agree

A journey to be had,
Through old generals
Ancient spirits
And a long lost eternal city
Then the treasure is yours
And you come swiftly back to her

She thanks you profusely
Say you've surprise her with your prowess
She seems impressed and...saddened
For she must leave
On her great dark path
A beautiful revolution to bring to this land
You are saddened too and wish her well
Hoping despite her statements to the contrary
That you shall meet her again

Down in the depths of Ainsel
You see a lonely doll
Glimmering with the magic of your mystery woman
You can't deny it no longer
She holds you heart
So you talk to the doll
Hoping your hunch is right

After some trying she finally admits it
She's not amused hoping to disappear
But you are persistent so she gives you another task
Rid the world of the baleful shadows that oppose her
You do so with ease
As she says she must part ways again
She lets loose a word
A word saying that perhaps she cares for you
She tries to hide
Behind other machinations
But you heard it
Heard the tone of her voice
Its an excited heart that say goodbye

You journey into a rotten wasteland
Slay the spawn of rot and disease
And run into a beast that stole a sky
You're no fledgling now
You can wield any weapon
Lightning and fire are under your command
Magic twists into great moons and blades of frost and power
You command the rot, the power of madness, poison and deathblight
There are hardly limits to your power
The beast falls

A doorway appears
Curious you ride up it
A ring weighs down your pocket now
A gift you hope to give to HER
The next time you meet

It seems fate read your mind
You're at the great cathedral to the moon
Where she said her freedom
From this lands overloads would be absolute
You journey to the bowels of the church
To find
Her
Her body, bloodied and frozen wrestling control

You fall to your knees
You offer her the ring she gingerly accepts
She appears in full, beaming and free
You shall be her lady
She seems happy with this resolution
But neither of your work is done
So you part ways again
But this time another gift
The greatsword of the dark moon
A blade born purely of the chill night

You continue the final part of your quest
Slaying beast and demigod alike
Everything standing in your way
Desperately trying to protect the dying golden order
You won't stand for this
A new order is nigh
This land deserves better

As the so called god is slain
It crumbles and she appears
Rising up from the darkness
She does the final steps
Deposing of the golden order
And beginning the age of stars

Then she turns to you
Her consort, now eternal
Goddess of the new age
And the faithful lady who helped bring it about
And she asks if we may
You've never agreed to anything faster
