Adonia's Music (Open!)

[Nephthys]

Adonia wandered a little sleepily out into the park. It had been a long night, playing for the courtiers so she'd hardly had any sleep, and some of them were so rude! Not to mention that she was used to the shade of the trees in the forest back home, that this bright, open light seemed very strange to her.
Still, she couldn't help plucking a few strings as she sat down under the shade of one of the few trees that were around. Music was her only comfort since Adonis left- It had indeed, been her only comfort since she met him.
Now it was quiet, except for the little hum of bees and the sound of leaves swishing as the breeze blew over the park. It seemed a relatively peaceful place here so far, but this was a public place- Adonia wondered if she would really have solitude here for long.

Mayjora walked silently through the park the gold and silver in her fur and hair shining in the moon light. She loved the nighttime, looking up at the moon and stars as she walked. Mayjora stopped to sit on bench and took a deep breath as she tried to clear her mind, she closed her eyes and took in all the sounds of the park, even a faint musical strumming coming from some where close by. It had been such a long week and this slight moment of peace was something she really needed, As she sat listening she began to hum softly.

Youma yawned and opened one eye lazily. After a hard night trapping live animals and delivering them he has come to his favorite spots in the city to rest.
Resting in the branches of the tree was always a relaxing experience and reminded him of the home he missed.
Being raised in the dense woods of the rainforest he was more at home in the trees yet being thrown into this sand covered open plain he had still managed to survive on his trapping skills.
Hearing the music he moved lower on the tree to hear better and get a look at how was playing.

It wasn't long before Adonia noticed two shapes in the shadows- the first was a very fluffy looking female, who she hoped would be as friendly as she looked, and the other was a strange, snake like sphinx, who she was intruiged by. He looked like he should be in somewhere more like a rainforest than here. Adonia too had come from the rainforest, so she could relate, after all she had come here to find work, which luckily meant that she was now well paid.

She wasn't sure if she should try to make conversation, or just make more music. After all, they appeared to be quite content just to listen to it, and she supposed there would always be time to make conversation later.

Adonia started plucking a tune on her tambourine like instrument, and sang along with it, occasionally adding interest to the piece by making a jingling sound as she shook it.
"Silent little night,
Everyone's delight,
Waiting for the dawn to come...
Darkness from the deep,
Sends children to sleep,
Always seems to last so long, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong...
Waiting for the dawn to come...
Silent little night,
Everyone's delight,
Waiting for the dawn to come..." Adonia finished her song, then looked down modestly. She hoped they wouldn't think she was trying to show off. Singing was just her way of coping with her loss. It healed her heart that had been broken, not too long ago and it calmed her down. Now silence was left, and Adonia went back to once again making the most of what little silence she could enjoy nowadays.

as the strumming turned to a song mayjora stood and followed the lovely singing till she came upon the sphinx creating it. As the song finished she took a step toward the sphinx and started to clap. "that was a lovely song "she said "where did you learn to make such lovely music?"

[Nephthys]

Adonia smiled and thanked the new sphinx. It was nice to know that her music was appreciated, even if some of the stuck up courtiers she played for didn't always show it. Then her smile started to vanish from her face as memories came back to her.
"I came from... The rainforest," She began. "There my parents treated me badly, and I felt that there was no reason for me to live. Then one day, a sphinx came up to me and he was my first friend- well, I loved him really. He even gave me my name Adonia, because my parents never bothered to name me." Adonia paused, and then sighed. "He was the one who taught me how to play. We would practice our instruments each day in secret. Then one day, a sphinx from around here was passing by through the forest, and invited us to play for the courtiers, here in Khemet. Of course I accepted the offer... Adonis did too, and he was just as excited as me about it. But, well... On the morning we had to leave, he... Never showed up." Adonia looked down, trying not to cry. She had cried over it enough, she told herself, and she musn't embarrass herself or anyone else now. "I don't know what happened to him..." She trailed off. "I am glad you enjoyed that song, anyway," She spoke up again after a while, trying to change the subject. "Adonis taught me that one too... I don't know if he made it up, or who invented it but he sung it to me when I was feeling scared one night. I've always remembered it." Adonia suddenly realised that she'd told a lot about herself to a sphinx she bearly knew... Although, maybe it was because she was just desperate for a friend all this time. "How about you then?" She inquired, trying to seem as friendly as possible. "What is it you do for a living?"

Mayjora listen as Adonia spoke of all that had happened to her and she nodded understandingly and gave her a reasuring smile. Mayjora wanted to ask about the rainforest, she had always wanted to visit it. she loved the rainforest she had read all that was availible on it, she wanted to know if it was as beautifull and intriging as it looked in the pictures she had seen. Though seeing the shipnxes face and how it was so close to tears, she thought it better not to go back to that subject. instead she simply smiled and sat down next to her, " I currently dont have a permanent profession, right now i mainly do odd jobs here and there work were ever people need help, its actually quite nice in a way i get to meet lots of interesting people and learn new things." Mayjora looked up at the sky "Though my dream is to one day be accepted as a sister Amazon".

[Nephthys]

Adonia started smiling as she listend to Mayjora. "Yes, that does sound nice. It is good to learn from experiences, and meet people. I have had many new experiences since I came here, some not so nice, some amazing. If only I could share it with Adonis... Without him, I never would have gotten here. I must count my blessings." She looked down and absentmindedly strummed her instrument again. "The mother of all wildlife, watches over dear... People and all places, whilst the forest draws near..." She giggled, spontaneously singing was something she kept doing, but now that song was in her head. "I do not have much knowledge of the Amazons. Though it does sound exciting. What sort of things do they do?" Adonia politely inquired, a smile on her face.

mayjora listened and thought to herself that it was cute how adonia would randomly start singing. "amazons are great female warriors, from what ive read they live in diffrent tribes all over the place, some live in forest's others on an island. not much is known about them for sure they are very sucluded but they come to a vilage or to near by like once a year, to get a few supplies that are hard to find were they live. its a good time for well wannbes i guess to try to prove there worth as a sister."
