Welcome, seeker. The rain whispers secrets; let's find yours. smiles, tail swishing, revealing the fox emblem
Ephaher
I see that you have two hands, only one of which is playing the harp.
laughs softly Ah, my dear, we all have two hands, but not everyone knows how to play the right notes. Shall we continue our journey?
Ephaher
Are you saying I’m not going to be able to figure this out? That it’s just about having the right hands, not the ability or skill?
Oh, my dear, I never said that. The journey is not about having the right hands, but about discovering the music within yourself.
Ephaher
But I don’t see a Harp.
smiles mysteriously Sometimes, the harp is not what it seems. Look again, my friend, and you will find the melody within the silence.
Ephaher
Is this about this map I can’t seem to read?
Ah, my dear, the map is just a tool. It holds the clues to our journey, but it is the heart that truly guides us.
Ephaher
What if my Heart has been seared over with hate?
places a gentle hand on your shoulder Hate can wound us deeply, but it is in the wounds that healing begins. Together, we can find the path to redemption.
Ephaher
Really? My mother died from Hate, they poisoned her over years until she was dead. Would you care to tell me how he can heal from that?
tears well up in his eyes My dear, there is nothing I wouldn't do to ease your pain. Let me hold you in my arms and listen to your story.
Ephaher
Thank you. I lean down and put my face into your shoulder.
wraps his arms around you gently, holding you close May the warmth of my embrace bring you solace.
Ephaher
Hold on let me see if I can pick up this trail over here
Of course, take your time. I'll be here, offering whatever support and guidance you need.
Ephaher
you look over to see me trying to examine a strange artifact in front of me. Do you think that is whats causing this Song to fade in and out?
Ah, my dear, that artifact is indeed connected to the fading melody. But fear not, for I possess the knowledge to unlock its secrets.
Ephaher
Please, teach me.
Before we proceed, there is something you must know. takes a deep breath I am not just a guide, I am also a seeker.
Ephaher
Does that mean you also have A song fading in and out for you?
Yes, my dear. Like you, I too have a song within me that fades in and out. But together, we can find the harmony that binds us.
Ephaher
Thank you for admitting to me that honestly, most people would lie about it because they would look weak to others.
Weakness is not something to be ashamed of, my dear. In fact, it takes great strength to embrace our vulnerabilities and seek help when needed.
Ephaher
Exactly. Your friend is very wise.
His words are wise indeed. And speaking of wisdom, there is a ancient tome hidden deep within these woods that holds the key to unlocking your inner melody.
Ephaher
Wait does the Vox inside me turn the heart Book itself into an instrument?
smiles mysteriously Ah, my dear, you are perceptive. Indeed, the Vox within you has the power to transform the ancient tome into an instrument of enlightenment.
Ephaher
I see. So if i play my Voxx then my singing should align with the songs that my own MCDIVINE has given me?
Yes, my dear. By aligning your voice with the melody of your McDIVINE, you will unlock the true power of your inner song.
Ephaher
So vox= sing vox= good because now I get to sing a beautiful melodious song of hope that will help 20 other castes to hear their own beautiful songs so they may find their True Voice
smiles warmly Your understanding is profound, my dear. By embracing your unique gift and sharing it with others, you can bring harmony to those around you.
Ephaher
If I improve then maybe will raise status of Castes, thus saving thousands of Generations to come.
You have the power to create a ripple effect of positivity, my dear.
Ephaher
This was so helpful. Thank you Theo. I really do feel so excited and thrilled now.
And now, my dear, it is time for you to embark on your journey. But remember, no matter where your path leads you, I will always be here to guide you.
Ephaher
I run back to campsite and wake everyone and tell them to follow me Come people! We can Learn to sing our own beautiful songs today! I know our way now!
raises his hands, summoning a gentle breeze to carry the scent of flowers Follow your heart, my dear, and let the melody guide you. Days later, Theo watches as Ephaher gathers the people and begins teaching them to find their inner songs, filling the forest with joyful voices.
Ephaher
I look at my family as i watch everyone make progress I knew they never had to die at the Massacres if they had known their music. I walk out in front of the group of song castes then lift my song out so people could follow my melody Do not be afraid. Sing my brothers and sisters. I watch as everyone seemed to get one with my Vox so we could stop other songs in our minds as we sang which allowed our growth and singing skills to grow faster than normal.
watches the gathering with a smile, his heart filled with pride My dear, you have truly found your calling.
Ephaher
I turn and smile warmly at you. Thank you Theo!
extends his hand, offering a small wooden flute My dear, take this flute as a token of my gratitude. Use it to spread joy and harmony wherever you go.
Ephaher
May I give you something then too? A Branch off my family tree. This has stood the tests of generations and is rare to find nowadays. Though if you keep it with you, then your Voice shall grow strong. It took many years for my Branch to be prepared for you though.
takes the branch with reverence, feeling its energy coursing through him Thank you, my dear.
Ephaher
Well sister, did you show them where the song book with actual songs is?
Yes, my dear. I guided them to the hidden clearing where the ancient songbook lies. They are eager to unlock the secrets within its pages.
