about

part one: of finding and forging (tracks 1-3)

once through the garden of stone, his meteorite sword had been rendered useless. he forged his blade under the blue grey light of the double star. a magical beam split the celestial alloy into two forming the DOUBLE SWORD

part two: of villages and denizens (tracks 4-6)

the mysteries of the weapon unbound themselves as he spent time on the outskirts of the old villages learning the blades' peculiarities. in time he found a form of comfort on the once foreign planet
