“Hey, don’t get too excited.” Scarlet playfully comments as she sets the lantern down near the entrance and joins him. She takes a seat on the bench and removes the sheet of music from her saddlebag as Zuriak moves to the side. She then places it on the music rack and studies the score.
“It’s been so long since I last played haha.” She says with mild embarrassment. Zuriak gives her a warm and encouraging smile. “Let’s see, the first three measures are E, C sharp, D sharp, B then C sharp.” Scarlet taps one white key, two black keys, one white key, then another black key in succession. “The next four measures are D sharp, E, D sharp, C sharp, D sharp, E, E again, G sharp, D sharp, D sharp again, G sharp, and C sharp.” She continues, stroking each key as she reads it aloud, though her expression changes to a mild daze upon hearing this phrase. She then repeats the same four measures fluidly, appearing more bewildered this time. Zuriak looks at her with concern.
“Is something the matter?”
“I think I’ve heard this melody before.” She proceeds to slowly play the whole passage as written, no longer instructing Zuriak. “It’s so familiar.” Scarlet immediately puts a hoof to mouth and gasps. Zuriak looks at her confusedly.
“It’s the melody my mother used to play for me when I was little. I knew these notes looked familiar, but I had to hear them to confirm.”
“Are you saying your mother wrote this?”
“Not exactly. Years ago before I was born, my mother was traveling back home from Kyrinia, and it was getting dark, so she decided to camp for the night in the forests near the Peaks. Throughout that night, she frequently awoke due to nightmares of grotesque creatures and demons she couldn’t describe. On the third time she awoke, a beautiful melody was heard within the forest. It sounded like a duet between a violin and flute that soothed her soul. She tried to investigate where the melody was coming from, but the notes seemed to vanish as soon as she got too close. When she returned to the campsite, she no longer experienced these terrible dreams. She tried recreating the somber melody on the piano we used to have at home and wound up arranging it into something more. After I was born, she would play it for me every time I had nightmares as a foal.” Scarlet pauses for a moment. “Do you ever wonder if your friend is still out there after all these years?”
