Edmund had come to see if any books in the Atheneum covered fire magic. With how robust of a collection, he imagined that there were at least a few that might help him advance his magic. His last spar with Sunjata showed him that creativity with his magic could be an asset. Perhaps a book on the shelves covered new techniques for him to try.
It's as he's quietly running a hand along the spines of the books and reading them that he hears a thump. It's quickly followed by the beginning of a song and the young Ancient paused to listen. The melody was powerful in its simplicity. Mere humming yet lyrics seemed to make themselves known by the raw emotion within. Haunting, aching, and filled with grief. Edmund had to take a deep breath to steady his emotions as the humming continued.
Nearly in a trance, he silently tracked the sound. The sight of someone splayed out on the floor caught him off guard and he froze for a heartbeat. Clearing his throat, he eyed the unfamiliar woman, "Are you alright down there?" She doesn't look like she fell but why else would she be on the floor?

Come dance in the shadows
