    Lyrics
    I sit amid the dusty books
    The dust invades my very soul
    It coats my heart with weariness and chokes it with despair
    My life lies beached and withered on a lonely, bleak, uncharted shoal
    There are no kindred spirits here to understand or care
    When I was young, how often I would feed my hungry mind with tales
    And sought the fellowship in books I did not find in kin
    For one does not seek friends when every overture to others fails
    So all the company I craved I built from dreams within
    Those dreams - from all my books of lore I plucked the wonders one by one
    And waited for the day that I was certain was to come
    When some new hero would appear whose quest had only now begun
    With desperate need of lore and wisdom I alone could plumb
    And then, ah then, I’d ride away to join with legend and with song
    The trusted friend of heroes, figured in their song and deeds
    Until that day, among the books I’d dwell - but I have dwelt too long
    And like the books I sit alone, a relic no one needs
    I grow to old, I grow too old, my aching bones have made me lame
    And if my futile dream came true, I could not live it now
    The time is past, long past, when I could ride the wings of fleeting fame
    The dream is dead beneath the dust, as ’neath the dust I bow
    So, un-regarded and alone I tend these fragments of the past
    Poor fool who bartered life and soul on dreams and useless lore
    And as I watched despair and bitterness enclose my heart at last
    Within my soul’s dark night I cry out,
    “Is there nothing more?”

    Jadrek! Poor poor man, Kethrys rode him mercilessly. She almost repopulated tele'sedrin on her own.

      All I can think about for this song is like somebody reading every book ever then just having nothing left. What do you think?

      +Игорь Микулик At least Jadrek has a happy ending though. If you listen to this then Contemplations then Surprised by joy you feel really happy by the end of it.

    Sweet fucking hell, I keep learning more about the man who's my namesake, and I realize I just narrowly avoided this point in my life and I still am at risk of it at the same time.
    Yes, my name is Jadrek. And when he's described, I mostly fit the description. But honestly, modernize him to play video games and watch anime, rather than read books, and you have almost the same person. Though I'm also a strict vegetarian.
    If anyone knows an animated form of this series, or even just a graphic novel form, please do point me in its direction. I'm incapable of visualizing from pure words, don't ask why because I don't know myself, but if I could get a preset visual format put into comic/manga format, that'd be optimal. And I'd be grateful.

      It's a guess, but you might have aphantasia - the inability to "see" inside your mind. Maybe try speaking to a doctor about it.

      I wrote that comment nearly a year ago, and I'm glad you brought it back to my attention.
      Some of my progress since: I've been able to somehow outgrow that inability to see externally sourced fiction and can do it somewhat now, "Jadrek" is now my dead-name with Jadrae being chosen for myself, and I still hold the view we need this stuff given a full visual adaptation

      Oh, and another update: I've almost gotten out if my abusive household I've been stuck in since June of last year. And I've almost finished writing half of my cartoon.

    I guessing this song is about Kethry's Husband Jadrek and Kero's grandfather
