Tochter aus Elysium

Yes, "Ode to Joy" inspired me to do this. As you might know, it is also the anthem of Europe:

In my half-mythological and half-imaginary scenario, Europa is the daughter of Heaven (Elysium) herself. The year is 451, and barbarians are invading Europe. Here are Elysium's words to little Europa:

Elysium: Dire times are ahead of us, my sweet little Europa. Barbarians are invading the remains of the Roman Empire and they will dissolve those remains. Those barbarians may divide your lands for a thousand years. They may kill your people, raid their homes, and they might end the ideal of a united Europe.

But they won't remain the same, Europa. Progress always prevails. One day, they will realize what their wrongdoings has done, and then they will value knowledge instead of their vulgar traditions. This will be the rebirth of the Western civilization.

Europa: When will they understand their wrongdoings Mama? All those wars are completely meaningless.

Elysium: Time will tell. And I'm proud of your peaceful attitude, Europa. May your attitude be an inspiration to your people in this era of turmoil.

"Ode to Joy" was written by Friedrich Schiller, and Ludwig van Beethoven used the poem in the final part of his 9th Symphony.

Europa and Elysium belong to me.
