Midoriryū’s Verdant Requiem (緑竜の翠歌)

Created by Kuromegane2

Midoriryū's Verdant Requiem is a sacred ritual of nature magic passed down through generations, originating from the legendary teachings of Yūjin Shinrinryū and perfected by the Forest Ryu Midoriryū. This melody transcends conventional spellcraft, channeling the singer's deepest emotions and cherished memories into waves of restorative magic rather than destructive force. When performed beside the Violets of Remembrance, the song infuses these flowers with the warmth of the caster's heart, causing their petals to flourish with radiance and their roots to deepen with vitality. Rather than erasing pain or mending old wounds, the requiem teaches that suffering strengthens the spirit much like rings within an ancient tree, each one a testament to endurance through hardship. The spell embodies the philosophy that both joyful and painful experiences become fertile ground for new growth and transformation. Each performance creates a living testament within the garden, preserving the stories and strength of those who came before while inspiring the singer to face an uncertain future with courage and resolve. {Midoriryū’s Verdant Requiem (緑竜の翠歌) is a sacred nature ritual taught by the Forest Ryu Midoriryū, a melody originally learned from the legendary Yūjin Shinrinryū. Unlike spells created for battle or conquest, this song embodies the belief that life’s memories—both joyful and painful—can become the foundation for new growth. Inspired by the spirit of 「素晴らしき新世界 / Brave New World」, a song that represents unity, perseverance, and refusing to give up even in difficult times, the requiem transforms the singer’s emotions and memories into a gentle wave of restorative nature magic. When performed beside the Violets of Remembrance, the flowers absorb the warmth of the singer’s heart, allowing their petals to bloom brighter, their roots to grow stronger, and their essence to preserve the stories of those who cared for them. The spell does not erase sorrow or heal the wounds of the past; instead, it teaches that hardships are like the rings within an ancient tree, proof that one endured every storm. Through this melody, Yūjin’s experiences—the beautiful moments, the painful ones, and the strength gained from continuing forward—were transformed into a living tradition passed to Midoriryū and eventually to Sumire. Each time she sings while tending the violets, the garden becomes a reminder that even after facing an uncertain future, one can still stand strong and walk toward a brave new world.} Note: I wanted to create a spell that wasn’t meant for battle, but for healing the heart through remembrance. The inspiration came from 「素晴らしき新世界 (Brave New World)」 by Yuzo Koshiro, especially its message of supporting one another, persevering through hardship, and continuing forward despite life’s challenges. The Violets of Remembrance symbolize how both joyful and painful memories can nourish new growth instead of being forgotten. Since Summon Worlds simplifies lore to fit its format, the original concept also included the song being passed from Yūjin Shinrinryū to the Forest Ryu Midoriryū, who then lovingly teaches it to Sumire, making it a tradition that celebrates hope, resilience, and the courage to face a brave new world together.
