Over the hills and far away. . .

So far, Ter'thelas had been avoiding the Sensoriums. What he'd heard of them had been mildly disturbing. A room of illusions. It all sounded too much like that human's tower, Karazhan. Still, he decided he ought to at least investigate them once. So he had entered the Sensorium with a package from the planet they'd left under his arm, summoned up an image long gone by now. A wonderous cityscape in whites, gold and reds, fine brick and mortar, curving architecture stretching towards the sky, open spaces and grand arches. The city of Silvermoon. He'd even included a few of the magical brooms that wandered the city, sweeping it clean.

Almost reverently, he unwrapped what he'd brought. An expertly wrought viola in a cherry-red wood. He lifted it, tuned it by his ear, and then, began to play. A sad, almost mournful melody filled the simulated city, as Ter'thelas, eyes closed tightly, played a dirge for his people for the second time in his life.

Well, the Sensoriums got a lot of play, but this was a new one on Zouichi. He stepped out of the way of a magical broom, finding his way to where Ter'thelas was playing. He recognized the instrument as an Earth viola, although its player obviously wasn't from any version of Earth he knew of.

"It's very beautiful," he said, quietly, so as not to startle Ter'thelas.

Ronnae knew this tune all too well. It had been used as a lullaby when she was young by her father, and later explained to her when she was older. It held a very special place in her heart and she listened intently, not wanting to interrupt. She closed her eyes focusing on the tune alone, a smile across her lips.
