Of Monsters And Men Empire Lyrics Novels & Stories

“Take your arms, friends and beloved allies. Rouse every citizen of my kingdom and take to arms. The time is nigh, the streets shall flood with their blood, you shall feast on their flesh and they will die knowing that it was us who will be taking their lives. Their men will be eviscerated, their wives will be made into slaves and food while they watch their children be eaten in front of them.” It was quite an eerie sight, seeing a hodgepodge of monsters cheering at this sheer violence, the palace rumbled at the sheer tenacity of their stomps and footsteps as they walked away cheering and roaring Dyron’s name. These monsters now leave to gather their weapons, call their allies and muster int

The territory gates boomed open behind me, metal groaning like they were relieved to see me alive. My soldiers' boots hit the dirt in perfect rhythm, and the crowd did what crowds do best—lose their damn minds. "THE LYCAN KING RETURNS!!!" "THE MOON GODDESS FAVORS US!!!" "LONG LIVE THE LYCAN KING!!!"

What keeps giving you the courage that you would ever win the golden trophy? ‘Your fears,’ I replied, ‘and I ain’t stopping until I pull the entire Dance Empire down for all its sins and shedding of innocent men’s blood. Are you familiar with the name, the Black Jackson? You’re a dead man, Mancini, a walking dead man,’ as the fear in his eyes grew more visible.

Not even of the chains they’re trying to wrap around my neck. I’m afraid of who it might be. Who I want it to be. Because there’s only one man who’s ever made me feel anything. Only one whose name claws at the back of my throat like prophecy. And if it’s him… If they think binding me to a wolf will save our dying kind… They have no idea what they’ve started.

“Read me a line you’re not going to let the world take from you.” Luna turned the book open and scanned until she found the line that made her throat catch. She read aloud, voice steady despite the tremor in her chest: “I will sing until my voice is hoarse and the cameras run out of battery. I will not quiet for your convenience.” He closed his eyes at the sentence, fingers tightening around the sheet of paper he now kept like a prayer. “Promise me you’ll keep singing.” “And promise me you’ll remember there’s a difference between guarding a life and owning it,” she replied. The humor in her voice was salt and honey. “Keep your monsters for those who deserve them.”

“We lived among you. We protected your borders. We bled under your moons. But now you burn us. Hunt us. Call us monsters.” Her expression didn’t change. But the air did. Heavier. Hungrier. “You want a monster?” She smiled. “Then kneel, or run.” The video cut out. Back in the woods, Emilia turned to her pack. “Fangs against fire,” she said. And the wolves howled. This time, not in fear. In declaration. And the sound of it... it wasn’t just a howl. It was something deeper—older. It pulled through the marrow of the trees, rattled the dead roots buried in scorched soil. It turned the smoke in the air into something that tasted like storm-blood and war oaths.

This was not just a home. It was a vault of power. A graveyard of empires. A place where monsters were not born—but made. And as the door shut behind us with a soft, final click, I knew one thing with terrifying certainty: Whatever we were about to ask… This place had heard it before.

“My heart’s a DJ that won’t quit, My heart. Remixing all our old hits, All of our old hits. I know I should press skip, I know. But it’s playing your name again... Your name is stuck in my head” I sing and the two sing the adlibs. “You got my heart on replay, replay (yeah!) Can’t turn the volume down, no way. Every beat just pulls me back, Every rhythm keeps me trapped. I should walk away But you got my, got my, Heart on replay.” We all sing.

But I could clearly feel that something massive had happened. Because the usually steady and calm Alpha Kael was so panicked that the blade dropped from his hand with a clang. Immediately after, harsh light flooded in from the entrance. It seemed the heavy stone doors had been thrown wide open. Accompanied by chaotic voices. It sounded like many pack warriors had rushed into the sacred altar room. I heard countless messy footsteps, hurried and heavy, rushing toward me. Then came the incredibly noisy shouting. There were men and women, voices filled with anxiety and fear.

I tighten my grip on David and ask, "Your proclamation—what's the big picture? Where do you see this going? I'm curious, Alpha Nicodra. Do you have any specific ideas regarding how exactly you're going to resurrect our culture?" He lifts his glass to me and says, "I'm happy to hear your interest. My ideas are truly rooted in our conformity to a way of life that was simply not built on the beings we are. Frankly, Brigette, we are not human. In all honesty, we're monsters—at least to them, at least in our physiology." "Monsters," I repeat, tasting the word on my tongue.
