=========================================================================

The Prince's Despair is the boss theme for the game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones; released in 2004 in JP, and 2005 for its international release. This track plays for the boss battle facing against Lyon.

A decade later, the 25th Anniversary Concert for Fire Emblem was held in 2015, later released as a DVD release in early 2016. The Prince's Despair was played for the concert as a bridge for The Blazing Sword and The Sacred Stones medley.

And two years later, it's latest version was from the FIRE EMBLEM MUSIC COLLECTION: SESSIONS ~ Flower of Enchantment ~ album, which has fifteen (!5) tracks played from different series, and The Prince's Despair as its lone representative for The Sacred Stones in the album.

And that is that, The Evolution of The Prince's Despair! Did I mention that Lyon was one of my favorite antagonist of the series? The Ephraim route part that is. I was excited to actually feature this into the series for a while now.
