�- -brushes her hair out gently, slightly puffy eyes closed . optics open, swollen from tears . pulls out a flute, identical to the one she had made for her sister, only more worn . a silver flute, embended upon which lay a dragon, the symbol of her people . traces a pale, slender finger along the side before heaving a great sigh and taking a deep breath..

�- -a beautiful sound ripples out and vibrates around the terra around her, pouring her heart into the sound . sadness the key issue to the tune, she reflects her loneliness into the melody as well, basing her laughter deeper and more well hidden . even most trained ears probably couldn't detect the sad happiness . full lips leave the flute mouthpiece, yet the melody hangs in the air and strangely continues . light voice fuses, blending in with her original music.

�- -after a while, she waves her hand and the music ends, echoing in the dark forest . leans back against the tree immediately to the left of her, placing digits on the smooth trunk . heaves another heavy sigh before getting up, slipping her feet into the pond in front of her . sighs in relief as she reviews her own life, silently pondering if she should end it now while the ripplings waves engulf her, splashing against her ankles.

�- -reminding herself to pay her debts to her advisor, her uncle, her friend, she slips into the cold water, shivering . forces herself to continue until she's about waist high . feet numb and she stops, decides to sit back in the water until she felt well enough to continue . almost laughs bitterly in spite of herself . well enough..maybe god will pity me . takes a deep breath, almost diving straight in . chooses to relax against the warm soil behind her, enjoying a last taste of life.
