Queyanna cringed at the pluck of her inner-chords against the eerie foreboding that threatened to bring her to her knees. Then the world went still, holding its breath waiting. Without warning, a high-pitched set of chords was heard coming towards her that whizzed by her head to where Ean stood. Her hand jerked towards the sound and clutched an arrow

Olatha, Tervelvan The wagon creaked forward. The chaos within the wood was nagging Queyanna’s internal harmony like a mosquito. She winced when the wheel went over a pothole, which seemed out of place, considering the well-kept condition of the main winding thoroughfare into the port-town of Olatha. The road went up in a slow rise, narrowing before an iron gate. The

North of New Hope–Brakenbog, Lenkinar “Can we rely on Ean’s word about these individuals we’ve opened our doors to?” Brenard asked, a gentleman of great fortune and little wit. Although the expression on the angelic face was open, even innocent, the pale eyes held the rancor accumulated through years of dubious ambitions. He sat before the high-gloss, order-darkened table that was

“Threston, you finally made it,” Dunlon called from behind a cream and red marble-topped oak desk. Dunlon was a man of great physical presence.

The second wave of order probes and chaos scries penetrated deep into Queyanna’s being, threatening to send her to her knees once more. She lifted her voice to the sky and sang at double forte, multiplying her voice into a chorus that soothed the edge of the sharp and off-key notes. The effort to harmonize the chords weakened her until

Her inner-song also reached out and touched his. The notes blended in a song of tranquility, where the meadows were green and the grasses sweet. It soothed the beast. Within moments, the gelding relaxed under

Rhiona’s eyes scanned the desert landscape. She didn’t know quite what to make of it. Most of the vegetation was dying. There was an element of beauty hidden beneath the sands, as though a verdant paradise had been locked away. She heard the sharp notes of the landscape’s music, along with the flat notes rumbling deep in the earth. The chords

The brilliance of harmony burst open into infinite points of light dotting the expanse of darkness. Much of the universe unfolded before Queyanna, like the birth of something within her, realized and formed in a swelling of music that came from the deep. The music was familiar to her. She had sung with its choruses many times before. There were
