《Candii's Quest》Setting the Stage
Advertisement
When I was asked to transcribe this account of The Non-Traditional Key Gullz (NTKG), I knew it was one of grand landscapes, great risks, and, most importantly, music. It would be careless of me not to ensure you were familiar with the basic anatomy of a song since I have written many portions of this manuscript utilizing that structure.
A ‘verse’ is a unique part of the song that tells the story. A ‘pre-chorus’ is a repeating build up to the chorus which follows it. A ‘chorus’ is the most recognizable part that repeats several times. A ‘bridge’ is musically, and sometimes lyrically, different than the rest of the song and leads into its conclusion, which is sometimes another chorus and sometimes a coda. A ‘coda’ is the conclusion when, in certain instances, it is different than the chorus.
It is important for you to know that no adventure involving the NTKG would be complete without the songs that literally drove the action. Narrative is interwoven within the music and I even share with you the song and artist that was covered by the world’s greatest cover band. More often than not, each verse, chorus, or other song part will have its own accompanying text.
For additional clarity, each section will list its first and last accompanying lyric. If the section begins or ends with an instrumental, you’ll see this symbol ♫♫♫. Rock on!
If you are reading my account without the recommended musical accompaniment, then a true fan of the legendary NTKG musical catalogue surely you are not. I have always found music and sound to be a mighty enhancer of all things and this book is no exception. The text alone may be a semi-humorous affair, but with the historically accurate musical back drop, it will cue you in on the emotional roller coaster our heroes felt surging through their fingers as they faced the rocking world’s greatest challenges.

Even if you know the songs in your head and do not think you need to play them out loud, then maybe do it out of respect for them: Key Gullz, Thad Penguino, Sir Taco, and of course Candii. Just listen. Let the music gently fade into the background of your attention.
Listing to the song's lyrics and reading at the same time is not necessary. The NTKG are a cover band after all. They are no more original authors of the lyrics they chose to sing than I am of the account I am about to share with you. They merely chose the most rockin’ jams to psyche themselves up when the power of music was required. Their account is the most important target of your attention, so just feel the music as you read along.
Now please, enjoy the latest quest partaken by The Non-Traditional Key Gullz, one that changed them and the Land of Rock forever.

8 193The Everburn Mage
As a child, Rune Ransford held admirable aspirations of following his father's footsteps by joining the military as a combat mage. These skilled practitioners of magic helped to close the curtain on the much dreaded 7 Year War between his home country of Esteras and the nations that threatened to destroy it. Possessing a natural aptitude for manifesting and manipulating fire magic, as well as receiving support from his family, his mind had long since been made up. He would be a mage that would make them proud. However, a single, bloodshed night was enough to change his fate forever. Before his eyes, he witnessed every soul he loved perish in an undying inferno. The worst part of it all wasn't that he was helpless to save them. No, what plagues his mind even to this day is that everyone is convinced that he is responsible for their deaths. That he is a cruel devil who walked through a sea of fire and lived. Now, serving in the military as a fully-fledged combat mage, he intends to uncover the truth of what really happened in his tragic past. What Rune has yet to realize, however, is that there are larger, more malicious forces at play. Forces connected to his family’s untimely demise. Forces lurking in the shadows of the very country he lives. And forces striving to alter the course of Esteras' history. Brandishing his flames of suffering, The Everburn Mage takes his first step into a world of loss, iniquity, and betrayal.
