Many many moons ago, there was no sound nor color. Everything was black, white, dull and grey. There were two great beasts that marched amongst man during these times. One was known as a tyrant, a giant trumpeter swan, whom not only prohibited humankind from making noise, but sealed away the world's color within the second beast, a great unicorn that wandered the earth.  Only the swan was allowed to make so much as a peep. Those who made a sound would have their eyes removed from his beak and cast down into one of the caves that surrounded his shrine, trapping and blinding them and every generation after. When the swan slept, the unicorn would lead people through the world to whisper and exchange words. The unicorn thought their voice was beautiful, and even taught them to sing. The unicorn wanted to bring sound back to the world, and thus brought herself to the volcano to sing to the people and attempt convincing the swan. The swan only grew angry, and instead threw himself at the unicorn. The two fell into one of the many holes that surrounded his shrine, unbeknownst to them however, this hole lead to a great volcano. The volcano erupted, slaying both the unicorn and swan in the process. The unicorns blood and color stained the magma and ash that rose from the hole, spreading across the world to give it color, while the swan's music was sent through the skies, gifting the world with the music and sound we have today.
