[ Caoimhe begins, and her voice is soft as she retrieves the violin from her bag. This is a song that needs something that can compel an intensity burning from within her. The Violin, is perfect for it.
The song continues, at times her voice is weak and weary - but sing on she does. Inevitably at some points she finds herself invigorated - captured by the passion in her voice. Wanting to feel in the moment, as one would when they join their instrument in song. She sings her story, and for easy consumption I will just bullet point what she says. No need to read!! But dabs.
- She says she lived 200 years, a quite life that begot its own trials and problems. - That here she did not know she was born from the sea and a question she once asked as a kid: Who am I? Seems to eat her up when it is learned. But it is not learned yet - so she tells the story of how it all began. - The world one day when the festival of the moon came, had grown wounds upon the earth. That spat out undead and killed many people therein. - To represent her people she meets the king with 4 others. Something that surprises her, because she was certain her people wanted to simply be rid of her. - The king tasks them to explore this tower in the mountains behind the kingdom. it is known to have a time paradox. - The go in, they defeat a monster. caoimhe befriends a bubble elemental - and they learn of a past that was never told. - she moves the story along to the king again, as they confer their success. but it is that night the Umbral Moon came - and with that a whole Kingdom in disarray. - everyone within the kingdom gets teleported east - and this is really where the story begins. - She sings about trials, about countless human lives lost. About how her companions alienate her. about how she struggles to stop them, save them - about how their journey takes them everywhere. - she talks about a spider that was a monster, and feared them. shares that her companions and herself killed it - betraying it in the process. this hurt her severely and she realized there her voice had no power. - then they move, and eventually again she is faced with an issue that no one listens to her. and one of her companions dies. in his death the state of the universe is sealed and basically the big bad evil guy successfully starts to make the world worse. - they are on bought time. not sure how much longer til everything ends. because they didnt do better at protecting that companion - and basically let him run to his death. - she mourns and when she turns to the plains ( a place where she i sfrom ), she writes about this being an awakening of sorts? - she sings about the orcs who became her family. about how they taught her to have strength in her voice - and that when she in turn wished to save them. because an evil person laid with them - she too had failed them here. - countless innocent people died, including children. - and their body count was on their hands for having attempted to face the evil infront of all the orcs. so that they understood he was evil too - but they were fools. - caoimhe then will sing about how in this moment she felt for the first time what she understood anger. And that in this anger - she felt a flash of feeling most alien. That she wanted not only this evil man dead - but out of frustration and her shame. she wanted too, her companions dead. - because none of them listened to her, and countless times because of this - so many people wounded up dead. - she sings that this is her fault that she ahs no strength in her words, that she has no strength in her hands. - that she begs for the ability to help change the world. so that when she is faced with something she cannot change - that she at least was able to give it her all. - That the answer to "Should your heart weigh too heavy, confessing to your labyrinth-partner what you’re grappling with will absolve you of your guilt and leave you feeling clear-headed enough to escape. " was, she has let countless people die before her because she is a coward, that she is scared, and that she has no strength to make the right thing happen. And that, in her cowardice she felt the sin of wrath and wanted even her friends dead.
WHEN THE SONG finishes, it is done so with a SHAME of herself and FRUSTRATION of how she feels. It is POWERFUL how her vocal chords nearly shout and how the strings peek into a crescendo when the moment calls for it, but stay in moment she does. Ever part of her is moved, and Caoimhe feels gladden some how. That the forest and someone - SOMEONE can hear her at last. There is a pain in her voice when it ends.
Caoimhe will pull her violin down suddenly, the palm of her hand pressed now against her forehead. As tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. ]
I am sorry... [ She is huffing, as if she just ran. ] I do not have the will to sing further.
[ It seems... Almost as if there is more to be said. As if the fury of her feelings had not ended, and she is ashamed of her life as it is. ]
