Husband

Inspiration: Dear Future Husband

The war was coming to a close, most people were celebrating and as such, most were off partying, allowing Charlotte time to just relax without fear of the company breaking something else. Vaul had decided to go meet Charlotte's family and stay the night at her parent's home to get to know them. The dinner had gone alright and the parents seemed to withhold any opinion of the man, but during the night Vaul had been given a small journal that was worn by years of neglect.

"What is this?" Vaul raised an inquiring brow at the father.

Nicholas smirked, "Something you'll need moving forward."

With that the old man went to his room, leaving the confused Vaul in the hall. The confused magi returned to the room to find his lover asleep. Sighing, he lit a candle to set near by as he began to skim over the books contents.

Dear future husband
Here's a few things
You'll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only all my life
Take me on a date
I deserve a break
And don't forget the flowers every anniversary
'Cause if you'll treat me right
I'll be the perfect wife
Buying groceries
Buying what you need
You got that nine to five
But so should I
So don't be thinking I'll be home and baking apple pies
I never learned to cook!

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I'm acting crazy
Tell me everything's alright.


Vaul stared at the pages before he began to chuckle under his breath, hearing movement he closed the journal and tucked it in his bag before changing to join Char in bed. 

The next day before the two were heading home, he convinced her to follow him out to the lake with no real reason behind it. Charlotte found herself surprised to see he had arranged a blanket and picnic basket for the occassion.

"What's all this?" She tilts her head as she looked at him as he gave her a fresh picked flower.

"Just thought you deserved it." He kissed her forehead.

Her smile lit up but she was still confused by the sudden show.

Later when they returned, Charlotte had left to handle some work at the base. While she was away, Vaul began reading more of the book.

Dear future husband
If you wanna get that special lovin'
Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night 

After every fight
Just apologize
And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right
Even if I was wrong
You know I'm never wrong
Why disagree?


He continued chuckling to himself as he shook his head, why had she written this so long ago? He continued flipping pages.
 
Dear future husband
Make time for me
Don't leave me lonely
And know we'll never see your family more than mine

I'll be sleeping on the left side of the bed (hey)
Open doors for me and you might get some kisses
Don't have a dirty mind
Just be a classy guy
Buy me a ring


At the mention of the ring, he began to ponder and look at his old journals for dates. It had already been several years...

Balance

Inspiration: Mirror's Magic

A curse had befallen Vaul. Charlotte had been sent to another world, with no memory of anything. Their fates intertwined with merely a mirror. Soon their memories would begin mixing and changing with only the mirror holding the truth.


[VAUL]
I shall grant anything that you wish for
So won't you chant for me from the other side of this mirror?
Tonight, "Everything is the magic of opposites"
After all, I'm a magician meant just for you

In a dark room of a locked tower,
The only thing that resounded was my heartbeat
Shunned in contempt and hated out of fear
That is me, a prince loved by misfortune
During a storm, an uninvited guest arrived
It was a young man who smiled as he held a mirror in his hands
"Who's the cause of your misfortune?
Take a look into this magic mirror and see for it yourself"
Reflected in the mirror was a "fortunate girl"
My bewildered heart began to shake in doubt
"But what if it is truth?"
Had the entireness of my happiness
Been stolen awway by that girl?

My heart fell, dyed by hate
"Everything is opposite" on the other side of the mirror
It switched the balance of scales of fate
I came to forget everything

In a bright room of a tower which the sunlight shone upon,
Resounding through it were the voices of a crowd of people
Adored in respect and revered out of love
That is me, a prince loved by fortune
During an awfully sunny afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived
It was a young man who smiled as he held a mirror in his hands
"Who's the reason for your happiness?
Take a look into this magic mirror and see for it yourself"
Reflected in the mirror was an "unfortunate girl"
Why does your smile seem to be gouging out my heart?
"But what if it's the truth?"
Had the entirety of your happiness
Been stolen away by me on that fateful day?

My heart shook, dyed by grief
"Everything is opposite" on the other side of the mirror
The balance scales of fate were destroyed,
Reduced to fragments
By these hands of mine

My past which I should have abanndoned, those "memories of sin"
Why have they returned now, tormenting me so?
I had no other choice except to hate
So why is my heart hurting so much right now?
Reflected in the mirror are the "opposite" us
Is the amount of tears you shed the same as my laughter?
If "my happiness"
Leads to your curse,
Just what should I do to save you
Just what should I do to save you
"That's right.."
I shall...

Grant anything that you wish for
So won't you chant for me from the other side of this mirror?
Tonight, "Everything is the magic of opposites"
After all, I'm a magician meant just for you
I have already granted everything you ever wished for?
Then the magic of the mirror will end here
The palm of your fading hand met with mine
"I guess this is farewell" I said as I laughed
Will you be crying on the other side of this mirror?
It sure would be nice..
If I could see you again someday.

Just Gold

Inspiration: Just Gold (Duet)

Charlotte held a tight grip over the Brotherhood. Vaul being her shadow king while she was center stage. There was only one person who stood in their way of full control and they decided it was time to do something. Collecting the Draenei, they prepared a spell of domination to ensure total control.

[BOTH]
Time for the main attraction
The story must be told
Time for a chain reaction
It never gets old
Some guys get satisfaction
Breaking the mold
Some guys are just distractions
Some guys are just gold

[VAUL]
I'm not the bad guy

[CHARLOTTE]
I'm just a bit surprising

[VAUL]It's not worth losing sleep

[BOTH]
It's not worth analyzing

[VAUL]
There was a time
Not so long ago at all

[CHARLOTTE]
I was just like you

[BOTH]
Can you hear my call?
Now I'm popping in
Over here, over there
I'll be checking in
But you'll never be aware
In the beginning I kept a keen eye
On the state of affairs with the new guy

Now I got a new gig
(Let me know if ya dig)
Ain't going home so I better go big

[CHARLOTTE]
Just gotta glance at Cam 2B

[VAUL]
Then you get a little surprise

[BOTH]
IT'S ME

You may say that I'm breaking your mind
In my opinion you're much too kind

Time for the main attraction
The story must be told
Time for a chain reaction
It never gets old
Some guys get satisfaction
Breaking the mold
Some guys are just distractions
Some guys are just gold

[CHARLOTTE]
You did a good job

[VAUL]
Watching those little scenes

[BOTH]
It warms my minions and colleagues
To hear some fresh screams

[VAUL]
But don't get me wrong

[CHARLOTTE]
You were very brave

[BOTH]
When faced with friendly singing animals
You never caved

[CHARLOTTE]
I'm finished training, done explaining

[BOTH]
No more facts are left remaining

[VAUL]
Now you know the gist of it

[CHARLOTTE]
You're a perfect fit

[BOTH]
I don't want to hear no more complaining

[CHARLOTTE]
I'm passing down this Golden opportunity

[VAUL]
Eternal graveyard immunity

[BOTH]
Take it with pride and enjoy the ride
You'll forever be a part of this community

You may say that it's all in your mind
But in the end, I think that you will find

[VAUL]
You are the main attraction

[CHARLOTTE]
Your story must be told

[VAUL]
You are a chain reaction
That never gets old

[BOTH]
Some guys get satisfaction
Breaking the mold

[VAUL]
Some guys are just distractions

[CHARLOTTE]
Some guys are just gold

You are the main attraction
Your story must be told
You are a chain reaction
That never gets old
Some guys get satisfaction
Breaking the mold
Some guys are just distractions
Some guys are just gold

Why She's Bad

Inspiration: No Good Deed

After Vaul was slain and Ogrimskar freed, many accused Charlotte of having been apart of the coup due to her affiliation with the now dead lord. She was sentenced to be cut down as assurance from the rabbles of the crowds, but before she could be killed, she allowed her wrath to finally be unleashed. Tears streaming down her face as the bracelet fell from her wrist and the ground shook and opened wide, arcane whisps flowing out and lashing at everything before she disappeared.

She found herself landing in the snow outside the destroyed lab. Tears streaking down her face as she pushed herself up, gripping her bare arms as the howling winds of Icecrown rushed around her. Her hands burned with arcane wounds, pulsing from the overpower but she pushed through, shoving debris out of her way. Chanting to herself as things moved at her command, she felt Vaul's soul pulsing far away, and she would find it. She stepped over the body of dead demons before coming to a door that not even the council of magi could open.

She placed her hand over the vault, "They didn't believe me because of you." She clenched her fist against the metal door. "Was I ever really good though... Was it just the attention I desired? Is that what you made me?"

She heard whispers of the souls that lingered, she could sense the ley lines weaving near by, someone was coming. She focused the souls into her spell.

"I will take what is mine." She growled as she felt the souls rip through the metal, opening a way for her to storm in and grab the soul gem.

She held it to her heart, "If they won't accept me, then I will return those who did."

"Charlotte!" Aayan's voice rang out. "We know you're here. Don't run from us! We want to help!"

"No. You'll only be caught in this too." She told herself, tears freezing to her cheeks as her gaze became determination.

"Let all of Azeroth agree, I'm wicked through and through." She then called upon the spirits to inhabit constructs of snow and arcane.

"CHARLOTTE!" Aayan shouts as he sees her, only to be blocked by the guardians.

Once the guardians were cut through, all that was left was ruins.

Charlotte was gone.

Staring at her old home, she moved to slowly wander in. No one knew of its location in Silverpine and none dared wander near due to the feral worgs and worgen that still wandered the area. Even more so the undead that still fought for control of the area. She set the stone on a table and stared at it.

"Why... Why did you do this.." Her voice was weak as she slumped to her knees. "Why did you betray everyone... Betray me.. I was your pupil.. and yet you used my trust to trap others. Was I just a pawn?"

She clenched her fists against her knees, giving small hics as she tried to stiffle sobs.

"Even if I returned, the masses would have me hung. They'd kill everyone else that wants to help me." She slammed her fist on the ground, "You've killed us all!"

She covered her mouth with a bleeding hand, still suppressing sobs, "I must become the new enemy they despise.. Or else the others will die."

The soulstone pulsed, "Then conquer them."

Her eyes glowed a mixture of arcane and soul magic, frozen tears now burning. "I'll save them.. even if I have to become what they hate."

Voices

Inspiration: Voices In My Head

[OGRIMSKAR]
You gotta buy her a rose
Compliment her on her clothes

[AAYAN]
Say you appreciate that she's smart

[RICKLEM]
Nah, man, you tell her that she
Excites you sexually

[OG, AAYAN, AND RICK]
And that's the way you get
To her heart
Trust me, I know
How it's gonna go
Listen and oh!

[MATTHEAS]
And there are voices in my ear
I guess these never disappear
I'll let 'em squeal and I will deal
And make up my own mind
Might still have voices in my head
But now, they're just the normal kind
Voices in my head, but now they're
The normal kind!


[DANNA]
Just summon strength from within

[CHARLOTTE]
Don't get hung up on your skin!

[IZANAMIE]
She prob'bly thinks
That tendrils are hot!

[KHADOREK]
I'll throw you a rope, home slice
If you need some dope advice

[KHAD, IZA, CHAR, AND DANNA]
Now march on over
And give her a shot
Buddy, you'll see
It'll go perfectly
If you listen to me, me, me!

[MATT]
And all there are voices all around
And you can never mute the sound
They scream and shout
I tune 'em out
And make up my own mind
Might still have voices in my head
But now, they're just the normal kind
Voices in my head, but now they're
The normal kind!

[TALI, spoken]
I still remember how it felt...
It's embarrassing to find out, deep down I just want things to be easy

[MATT, spoken]
Yeah... but who wants things to be hard? ...
Look, I almost destroyed the guild... maybe all of human civilization...
I know that the last thing I deserve is another shot, but, um-

[TALI, spoken]
Just say what's on your mind, Mattheas

[MATT, spoken]
Lunch? Just the two of us?

[TALI]
And any voices in our heads?

[MATT]
There might be voices in our heads
But I swear, the voices there
Will be the regular kind

[TALI]
Me and the voices in my head
Have made up our collective mind

[MATT]
What do they say we should do?

[TALI]
I think that all of us want
To go out with you

[ALL]
And there are voices in my head
So many voices in my head
And they can yell and hurt like hell
But I know I'll be fine

[MATT]
Still have

[ALL]
Voices in my head

[MATT]
Yeah, there are

[ALL]
Voices in my head

[MATT]
Of the voices in my head
The loudest one is mine!

[VAUL]
Matty...

[MATT]
Loudest one is mine!

[VAUL]
You can't get rid of me that easily!--

[MATT]
Loudest one is mine!

[VAUL]
Matheas...

[ENSEMBLE]
Na nananana nanana na nana na
Na nananana nanana na nana na
Na nananana nanana na nana na

[MATT]
Let's go!

[TALI]
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's go!

[MATT]
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's go!

[ALL]
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's go!
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's go!
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's go!
C-c-c-come on, c-c-c-come on, let's
Go!

Dear Child of Mine

Inspiration: Dear Theodosia

Alex smiled as he held his son in his arm, eyes lighting up at the pudgy cheeks of the baby. A few rooms over, Peter was holding his wife and their daughter, kissing the woman's forehead. As the weeks went on, the young adults all joke and smile. For a moment there is a time of peace.

[PETER]
Dear Irezi, what to say to you?
You have my eyes. You have your mother’s genes
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I’m dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
You will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away…
Someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday

[ALEX]
Oh Jackie, when you smile I am undone
My son
Look at my son. Pride is not the word I’m looking for
There is so much more inside me now
Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun
My son
When you smile, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
My father wasn’t around


[PETER]
My father wasn’t around

[ALEX & PETER]
I swear that
I’ll be around for you (I’ll be around for you)

[ALEX]
I’ll do whatever it takes

[PETER]
I’ll make a million mistakes

[PETER/ALEX]
I’ll make the world safe and sound for you…
…will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you

If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away...
Someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday

World Turned Upside Down

Inspiration: Yorktown

(I want it stated this is purely FANFICTION and is in NO WAY Cannon. People mentioned have given permission to be spoken about.)



The world had been plunged into chaos. The forces of the Old God had been quelled, and Azshara slain. The Horde and Alliance had routed out the leaders that lead to so many deaths due to the unneeded faction war. Prides shattered and people wounded, no one had the strength to fight the new threat that rose. Arrogance and temperance had led to instill hatred. Many fled under the banner of Blackheart- A human noble with the promise of power and security. The training under the new leader was vigorous for those that served him, though the power he instilled left many craving more. As the Horde and Alliance began rebuilding their cities and returning to a relatively peaceful life, no one saw the attack coming. First many were killed when both Mage District and Valley of Spirits were set ablaze. Before anyone had chance to recover and learn who all had fallen from their families, a small bomb went off on the wall of the Alliance held Lordaeron and the Elder Rise of Thunderbluff. Reports of mass attacks filled all reports as neither the Horde or Alliance could place what was happening. Townsides were ravaged and citizens dare not sleep for fear of what would happen next. The final straw was when a mass explosion of both engineering and magic went off in Dalaran, rocking the city and leaving the Kirin Tor struggling to keep the city afloat, leaving their libraries open and taken advantage of as books of high magic are taken. Soon each site that had been hit had a large apparition appear in the sky.

"We are the Knights of Change. As you can see, your people are weak and easily cut down. Join us and we will change the world for the better. Those who resist will be brought to their knees and enslaved like the mindless they are." The apparition of the man spoke.

War broke out all across Azeroth, the Knights constantly pushing and pressuring the Horde and Alliance, keeping them apart and unable to support one another. The Kirin Tor are put to land as their magics, even with aid of the Blue Flight, are crushed and beaten back.

All seemed lost until some of the more hidden islands of Neutral Forces and Mercenaries came up.

The Battle of Stromgarde.

"Monsieur Ogrimskar." The Sin'dorei grinned.

"Monsieur Vanlador." The Dwarf grunted.
 
"In command where you belong." The elf pat the dwarf's shoulder.

"It's how you say, no sweat." The dwarf shrugged, "We're finally on the field, We've had quite a run."

The two smirked, "Mercenaries. We get the job done."

"So what happens if we win?" Og peered up at the elf.

"I go back to Org. Bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance." Van spoke, staring out at the wall of the enemy soldiers trudging towards them.

"We'll be with you if you do." The dwarf gripped his hammer.

"Go. Lead your men." Van began to spread his wings.

"See you on the other side." The Death Knight put his helmet on.

"Till we meet again. Let's go." The Demon Hunter flew off.

I am not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young
Scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
‘Til the world turns upside down…
‘Til the world turns upside down!


 "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. This is where it gets me: on my feet, The enemy ahead of me. If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me. Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me. Then I remember my Lissa’s expecting me...Not only that, my Lissa’s expecting. We gotta go, gotta get the job done. Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!" Flaxin thought to himself as him and the Intoxication crew prepared to ambush the knights from behind.

Over in the hills overlooking the city.

"Take your bullets out your gun!" Luke ordered his men.

"What?"

"Take your bullets out your gun!" Luke demanded.

"What!"

"We move under cover and we move as one. Through the night, we have one shot to live another day. We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away! We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it. It’s either that or meet the business end of a blade ain't it? The code word is ‘Rochambeau,’ dig me?" Luke told his men.

Rochambeau!

"You have your orders now, go, man, go!" Ogrimskar thought to himself. "And so the Alliance experiment begins. With my friends all scattered to the winds."

Vanlador is in Southern Durotar, redefining brav’ry.


"We'll never be free until we end slavery!" Vanlador shouts to his men before cutting the chains off goblins.

When we finally drive the Knight away
Elaianna is there waiting-
In Stormsong Bay!

How did they know this plan would work?
They had a spy on the inside. That's right.
Izanamie Swesky!

A tailor spyin’ on the Knights government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
To my husband's revolutionary covenant
I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it!
See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Izanamie Swesky, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!


After a month of fighting, a young man in a black coat stands on a parapet.
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
And just like that, it’s over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead
Red and Blue soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom


"Not. Yet." Ogrimskar sneered, walking towards the man.

We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see Sir Ogrimskar smile.
We escort their men out of Stormwind

They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they’re singing…



"The world turned upside down." Voices sang.

The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down
Down, down, down


"Freedom for Alliance, Freedom for Horde!" Van shouts.

Down, down, down

"Gotta start a new nation! Gotta meet my son!" Flaxin grins.

Down, down, down

"We won!" Iza shrieks.

"We won!" Luke screams.

We won!
We won!
The world turned upside down!
