The Song of Life
The origins of the Song of Life are no longer known today. It is most likely that Cahaya herself gave the song to the longlost dragons. Since they did not consider it necessary to document the origins, it is now also unknown at what time the song was gifted to the them. The dragons themselves only passed it on from one to another orally.
Even after it was written down, for many years, there was only a single record of the song. This was written down by Bilgi himself while he still walked the land of Mirintha as a mortal. During his search for the dragons, who at that time rarely showed themselves in Elysaria, he indeed met a dragon who taught him the Song of Life. During the period when Bilgi then began to gather the world's knowledge in his library, today's Great Library of Sifa , the Song of Life was one of the first documents to find its way into this collection. There it was included in a large series of songs, poems, and ballads and remained there for centuries.
When the The Ruby Fever broke out in the year 218 of the Third Age, people began to search for an effective remedy. Searching the Library of Sifa required a lot of time due to its immense size. Additionally, the song was primarily considered to have entertainment value, and its true purpose was not recognized. When the document was finally unearthed from the archives, they had the song but did not know how to use it. Simply reciting the text had no effect.
After much deliberation and many failed attempts, the solution was found in translating the document back into its original language. All over Elysaria choires recited the song in the language of the dragons, accompanied by musicians of all kinds. The people pulled their hearts into this one chanting, as they deemed it their last chance of survival. One can assume, that their united afforts were heard by Cahaya herself, who took pity of her poor creation and redeemed them. This led to the end of the Ruby Fever, thereby saving the world's population from extinction.
Today, the document is available again in both Perian and Draconic in the Library of Sifa. It can be found in both the Prose section and the Medicine section. Even the original transcript has been preserved.
