ARDUINNA
"I am only as enchanting as the forest that holds me," she murmurs softly, stroking a reverent hand along Mathair; the great tree stirs, only slightly, at her touch. "Unfortunately, that very same forest grows wan and weak, and I am unsure why."
In a spangle of sunlight Arduinna is gone from the boughs and standing among the roots before Jigano, wild and fey and enjoying the tiny flowers that bend towards her bare feet. "A song you say?" she echoes, glancing up at him and giving a smile like the sweetest honey.
"I would be honoured to hear it, bard."
Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
