Celtic Metal Up Lifting Music, "Unfinished, Unburned"

The city was screaming in stone and flame. She heard it the way other people heard music—not as noise, but as rhythm. Roofs collapsed on the downbeat. Towers split on the chorus. Somewhere behind her, a granary exploded and the fire whooped with laughter, and she laughed back, sharp and bright, as if they were sharing a private joke. The archway beneath her feet shuddered. Ancient stone, carved by hands that believed in order and seasons, now crumbling like a bad punchline. She balanced anyway, one bare foot planted on a gargoyle’s grin, the other dancing in the air. Celtic knots spiraled up her arms, inked so deeply they seemed to move on their own, tightening and loosening as if the stories inside them were trying to escape. Three daggers spun between her fingers. They didn’t gleam with steel, but with dripping black ink, and every time she hurled one skyward it carved a line of glowing Ogham through the air. Letters bloomed, whispered, and vanished like smoke before they could be read. Promises. Curses. Punchlines. She never bothered to remember which. Below and behind her, the village burned—but not cleanly. Fire fractured across shards of a shattered mirror suspended in the air, showing a hundred twisted versions of the same destruction. In one reflection, people ran. In another, they danced. In a third, the city had already fallen and was being overgrown by ivy and bone. She liked that one best. Ravens burst upward from the smoke, their wings ticking and whirring, clockwork feathers shedding playing cards as they flew. The cards fluttered down like blessings gone wrong, stamped with pagan sigils that promised luck and delivered chaos instead. Somewhere, a druid screamed. Somewhere else, a god woke up and immediately regretted it. Her eyes gleamed—one violet, one molten gold—catching every flicker of flame, every moment of fear. Reckless delight curled her mouth into a grin that belonged in nightmares and taverns alike. Above her brow, a crown of brambles and foxfire flared to life, thorn and flame woven together, casting wild shadows over her face. The air crackled. Ozone stung her nose. Mead and smoke coated her tongue. “Ah,” she breathed, catching all three daggers in a single fluid motion. “That’s the smell of a good ending.” She bowed to the burning city, to the old gods choking on laughter, to the heroes who would arrive too late and insist this all meant something. Then she kicked off the gargoyle, vanished into the storm of ink and fire, and left the punchline hanging in the air—unfinished, unreadable, and absolutely perfect.
