Harmonia was shaking in her boots. Just earlier that morning she had found out that her voice put people to sleep. That was bad enough as is, but now she had to sing to the Fire Prince while he was visiting. As if things couldn't be worse, if she cancelled, the Prince would have her burned. However, if she put him to sleep, it would mean her voice would no longer be exalted, but smited! Then she would be dismissed from the city, and that was where her home was. She had never been farther than the city walls, and she had no intentions of it before today. Before she could weigh her options, she was called before his majesty.
"Sing to me, o great one. Let your music paint mountains on the canvas of life. I have heard of you before, but I have never seen such a wondrous beauty. Your wings, they are magnificent. Now, sing to me," the prince ordered.
"Your majesty, I must warn you, my voice has been...it's put people to sleep before. I think it may be-" she uttered.
"I do not care about warnings, just sing!"
Slowly, she opened her mouth. She sang songs of godly worlds, places only her mind had taken her. If her songs could heal, all of the dead soldiers in the cemetary would step right upto the ground and dance.
Before she had finished, a guard barged in. "
Your majesty-" he started to speak, but was silenced when he saw the Prince slouched in his throne.
"Heartless! Get back here!!" he shouted as Harmonia took off into the air.
"I have to get away from here! Merrick! Terasia! Find the fastest route to Quarta."
Two fairies flew from her pack. They check a map.
"To the Quartis Forest!"
They were off.
