When the Embers Calm | Layer 3 Fan OST

*The beauty of this place astounds you, and on the field lays an old book, signed by an Eli*
"Divers are now required to keep journals on them after the Chaser expedition failures of the second layer, so at least if we die in this ash-fueled hell people will be able to give this as a form of memorabilia to our families, but the ones we hold dear will know the true place of our burial, these gray sands. However, when approaching the old architecture of those who once walked here before us, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, a small, damaged door almost submerged under the ash. Looking for ways in, I rushed over as fast as I could, and started digging away at the ash with my own hands like a child at a beach. What now was before me was an almost rotten door, with some form of purple light emanating from behind. Feeling cautious, I tried to gently open the door, however, the slightest push from my hand caused it to fall over, revealing a long winding hallway luminated by strange purple lanterns hanging from the ceiling. However, the only amount of ash in the hallway was caused by me opening the door, it seemed like it would be a safe haven. I walked down the long hallway, feeling as if someone was watching me, but they weren’t alive. As if it was a guardian from life's past. Every step away from the dunes of ash felt like steps to a place to be safe.
At long last I reached the end, and what a sight… how could a place like this be this close to a fierce hellscape? A small field of purple flowers on jaded grass, near the field was a small hot spring with black rocks. It was foolish of me to try to grab one… but it wasn’t burning. It finally came to me, these used to be embers, what allowed these to cool? Suddenly, the presence I felt before was now in numbers, welcoming me. It seems I’ve not been the first to be here, in this peaceful hide away. But what if it could be more than a hideaway, I can practically hear the memories singing to me, I can’t understand them though. I’ve been scared of death in those dunes for so long… Maybe if I died here, my family would know that I lay in a peaceful field of flowers, with others like me in this very spot. This place is beautiful, why not rest here forever? You can pass through from here back to your journey if you truly seek damnation, but think now, my fellow divers and travelers. For every person who knows this true beauty, a new flower comes to the field, adding onto beauty with new purpose.
Come now.
Rest with us.
Rest with us.
Rest with us."

"The fields meld coals And yet not the Union's charred rope Our passion, our goals Heat gives us hope Through life and death, they remain astray May stars above meet the warmth between A dead-end passe For the Union and their tarnished sheen Beauty of a land, for those who came before Staying in a now-empty gorge Lay the remnants, their lore What occurred to starve their core?"

The rather dry, warmth like no other Grants a large surprise "How could there be ever a place like this in a hellscape?" Pushing onwards Through the abstract structures Lies a field of flowers They glow, with an almost blinding yet warm radiance It yearns It yearns The flowers They yearn Take one Behold the beauty, that beholds Do not resist Let your desires for strength succumb, and consume thine flower The world becomes bright The power overwhelms This is what you asked for.

Most great memories I can remember are of new experiences. New journeys. New discoveries. The thought of discovering something new on your own can feel so immense. Just thinking of entering layer 3 is so interesting. The new environment, the unknown, all can be so perfect. I feel as though this song perfectly encapsulates that feeling of something new. A place that can be so chaotic, yet so peaceful. A large landscape you look past, or knowing of any possible way to return. If your reading this, try going into the next big update blind for a while. The experience of discovering things on your own is great.

Oh my goodness why and how is this so fitting. It's a beautifully amazing spectacle of it. The writing in it only makes it better. I can hear strings being played and it is quick for the voices to start lulling their hymns where the spirit of man burns and dies yet does not upon its vicious cycle. If restricted to auditory, I can still feel the heat and smoke of its fallen waded mass hover around the person. When it intensifies, what do u see? What do u feel? Columns, burnt? Monstrosity, charred, breathless. It feels like the smog has density but barely presses its weight on u as the area moves about almost like to the souls of gone. Godam that description. Beautiful. A field of flowers all the same shade among a hidden steaming spring. Rotten and ruin underneath ash that shows a more peaceful and happier place to have an end? Wooooow. Wait! No! What am I saying! I don't wanna just stay here! I must return to the surface!

[@mossymozzarella1686]

Your music captures the feel of the world of deepwoken almost as well as Mr. Naktigonis himself. Keep up the amazing work!

This is so awesome, it's truly a work of art, I read the description while listening to the song and was almost crying at the end. It's so beautiful and the feelings through the song are incredible. Keep up with this, you're incredible, the description fiting with the song and the duration of the two matching each other, it's perfect.

[@dereggnoxyled]

"A city lost, beneath the heat, A tranquil place of which you meet, Ruins forgotten by those who came, Who saw the city with all its fame, The burnt remains of a city once known For their acts of kindness, which now are prone, With tears falling towards your palm, This is when the embers calm" (Another banger poem made by me in the style of Naktigonis ✍✍🔥🔥🔥🔥)

[@TaylorMAston]

Reading that diver journal while having the song playing, let me tell you, it does make the song even sadder

[@dragon21252]

Amorus pleeksty's journal: this volcanic land of korifiend is harsh, and full of lava and fire. Atleast i found a respite. My expedition as a black diver is to traverse the vents, but now i came to this place to rest. But i see something that makes me curious, its a church, seemingly made by the alien beings of the vents like the kyrsans of layer 2, it has strange flowers growing infront of the church, probably used to be a church for korilfiend. These flowers emit some kind of power with a flaming aura, i was running out of food and was hungry, i ate the flower but something changed with me. The flames near me felt, different like i could speak to them, and they would do my commands a felt a feeling i have never felt before, like im immortal. I need to show the rest of the divers and lumen what this is.

@@sharksbrofluffy8726 Ah well. Was wondering what plays before the Dies Irae motif as it seemed familiar. And Naktigonis has himself used a nursery rhyme in his tracks (like 'Alouette, gentille alouette' for a Scoundrel's Reverie). Think that's the only example.

Additionally the flowers mentioned in the Diver Journal within the description reinforced this notion for me.
