Songs of War: Episode 10 (Minecraft Animation Series)

I once read in a book that Guardians are some of the oldest species in Ardonia- older than even the Glacians. What were they doing though? They nearly drowned me! They were probably trying to figure out which Ardoni clan you’re from.

As their name implies, they guard some of the most ancient and treasured locations from unwanted intrusion. Ataraxia must be important if it has Guardians defending it. Well, I guess this is Ataraxia. It’s a bit smaller than I expected, but nice to be in an Ardoni city for once. So…

What is it we should be looking for again? Oh my… It’s incredible! Come on, let’s find a place for Timber and go check it out. Their attacks were just the beginning. The Voltaris are indeed returning and we need an army to face them. Did you not hear?

We have been gathering Ardoni and are attacking the Voltaris within a fortnight. They will threaten the clans no longer. This is bigger than that! We need to be ready to defend all of Ardonia. Hmph, you exaggerate. I am disappointed you will not join us. Let us go, Hadion.

I agree with what you said. My village was destroyed by the Voltaris, and I know what they’re capable of. Interesting… I’ve never met an Ardoni without a clan before. I am Hubris Nestoris. Your turn. I’m Senn, this is my companion Igneous. Greetings! A clanless Ardoni and a Magnorite… You two could work.

I am recruiting for a new resistance group known as the Knights of Ardonia. And we could certainly use a Magnorite in our ranks. That’s a tempting offer… but I have some things to take care of first. The Knights of Ardonia will always be recruiting. Seek us out if the opportunity presents itself.

And uh… good day. What a strange fellow. So! Where to next, Senn? Well, I’m not quite sure what we’re looking for… or why- I-Igneous wait up! Have you come for fresh tools? Or do you require repairs of your own? Thalleous…? Thalleous… is my brother. I am Galleous. Although…

Most in this city should know that… I didn’t know Thalleous had any surviving brothers. Yes… I get that a lot. He never spoke about me, nor I him. While he is out there adventuring and exploring- I just… live the mundane life. Galleous, sir- Your brother… Thalleous… is dead.

He was killed in a Voltaris ambush. Was he…? I always told him to stay away from the Voltaris. But no… why listen to Galleous? Galleous… who never leaves his workshop? And now… I am the last of my family! I… have not seen him in many years… My brother and I never…

Agreed on much… But despite our differences…. I am going to miss him. You must be Senn the clanless Ardoni whom Thalleous rescued. And who might you be? Hello sir, my name’s Igneous! He’s a friend. Let us take this conversation to the lower level. We will be more comfortable there. Oh, lava, thank goodness!

Thalleous never gave me any final words but he did speak of this place, of Ataraxia, just before the ambush. I know what he would have wanted. There is a war coming… that much is certain. We must prepare for it as best we can.

We will not get any help from the Kingdoms, with Cydonia and K’arthen locked in their conflict. I’ve actually… always wanted to visit K’arthen. Perhaps I can help with that issue? Igneous? But we’ve only just arrived. I’m a traveler, Senn

And if I can end this conflict I may end the oppression of Magnorites everywhere. Cydonia and K’arthen have the two largest armies of Ardonia. Uniting them is a necessity. And who better than a Magnorite to do it? Sounds good to me. It really was nice meeting you Senn

I’m going to miss the only friend I’ve ever had. Wait Igneous? You’re going to leave just like that? Hey, I have a short lifespan remember? There’s not a moment to waste. A bit of patience may save you even more time, my young friend. The borders of K’arthen are closed and the people suspicious.

However, I have a contact in Cydonia who can aid you. Take this gold, sail to Meridian and find Aren the Fletcher. Be cautious though, Magnorites are not welcome in Cydonia. Thank you Galleous. I hope we’ll see each other again Senn. I think we will. Goodbye Igneous, and good luck I’m sorry Sam…

What happened? No wait, wait come back! Oh no… We’re too late! I see you have quite the appetite. I haven’t had much to eat since… well… since everything happened. You may feast and rest easy now. As long as you are here you will be under our protection. Thank you. Galleous…

If the Voltaris were nearly wiped out in the Great War, why do you believe such drastic preparations are necessary? Times are changing… and Thalleous knew it before the rest of us. I myself may not get around much, but acquiring information has been somewhat of a specialty of mine. At this very moment

The armies of Felden have begun their war against the Necromancers. A dark shroud will soon spread across the kingdom of Felden. The Ardoni clans have called many warriors south to exact revenge on the Voltaris and destroy them once and for all.

Your friend Igneous travels to K’arthen to settle a civil war between kingdoms. And, most exciting of all. There have even been reports that the first Enderdragon has been hatched in over a hundred years. If we are to prevent a Second Great War, we are going to need everyone.

I will gladly fight. What must I do? I will train you Senn as Thalleous would have. Now come with me, there is something I must show you. Even though I avoided the battles and ignored my brother’s warnings… part of me believed in him. I do not just make tools Senn.

I have been preparing for the Voltaris in my own way. How long has it been…? One and a half centuries? Well what are you all gawking at?! Stand firm. Our days of hiding in the shadows are at an end, my brothers. Voltaris… even after all this time,

You do not know when to admit defeat. You traveled all this way for us… I’m flattered. However, you should have come better prepared! On second thought, you should have come sooner! Even your combined forces are too late to stop the coming doom! We will soon see which of us is doomed.

They call me… Deathsinger yet it was they who slaughtered my people and denied me the Prime Songs which were rightfully mine! Why, Achillean… do they call you Tidesinger? Because… I have united the people of Ardonia against this nightmare you have created! You certainly have improved your ability to wield the Songs. I wonder…

What you would have done had you been given the Primes. The Prime Songs have always been your desire, not mine! I would have refused them, for no one should wield their combined power. That is what they all say, until you have felt them for yourself! What are you doing here Ingressus?!

What sort of magic are you attempting to unleash?! You… have already lost. You are right… I have lost this war… but you have not defeated me. You are my greatest adversary, Achillean. You united the clans, allied with the Enderknights, and brought together an army which I could never have hoped to destroy.

And you… You! Achillean, stood between me and the Prime Songs. Do you remember… who it was− who suggested I enter the tournament in the first place? I cannot win this war. Not now… But I will return… long after this battle is over, and I have been forgotten! when Ardonia has grown weak,

And my enemies are gone… and when you… are no longer there… TO STOP ME!!
