about

Octosun: Damian is back with his family, but doubt begins to creep into their minds and he falls into a deep anxiety as the world falls into peril. A news cast announces the state of the planet and global food shortages that are affecting the morale and trust of the people. Damian is haunted by a nightmare that brings dark tidings.

Wings (Reprised): Damian seeks escape from this life and to return to the stars. His mental state makes it hard to find the passion he once had and he longs for a chance to break out of this slump he has found himself in.

Octosun

News Dialogue:

Dave: (With) upwards of 100 homes already lost, fire crews struggle to contain the flames spreading across
the city while families are left, with nowhere to go.
Over to you, Alice.

Alice: Thanks, Dave.
Temperatures this week are soaring in the mid to high 40s, making this one of the hottest, driest
summer's that the continent has ever seen.
Droughts spreading all across the country have put sales at an all-time low for the agriculture
industry, damaging crops and putting animals at risk of starvation. What little that can be provided to
stores has been bought up within days and now the government is trying to find alternatives to feed a
starving country.



Damian: I fell, I fell.
When I had climbed so high,
So high.

Damian and Hope: Hope, in strife.
I'll learn to face my fears,
In time.

Hope, (Damian), [Nightmare]:
Rays of light, entangling my mind.
(Cast aside your sullied past; your darkest betrayal.)
[In time, I'll face this strife!]
My vision fades.
(Time has cast it's ugly mark on all under this same sun. Reaching out.)
[Walking the path bathed in light!]

Damian and Hope: Make your way to the surface,
Wrapped in beams of warmth and grace.

[Nightmare]: Hope fades with darkest grey!
Sorrow shades the brightest days!

Damian and Hope: Darkest visions made of clay,
Formed by sand and time.
Leave your suffering behind,
And break yourself from your cage.
The sun is grasping.



Wings (Reprised)

Damian: And to cross the sun;
The fire a passion
Lit upon a pyre,
Never to decend.

Soaring above
In a flurry of motion.
Hidden away
From the coldness of the earth.
