It was dark, with a fire for warmth and light, clear starry skies made this night a traveler delight. Wagons were parked and situated for the night surrounding the campgrounds. Occasionally the sound of a snore or an animal interrupted the music that filled the air.The music was soft, and melodic. It was like a lullaby was being played, or maybe even a serenade. Perhaps it was a serenade to the moon. Alone she stood, eyes closed entranced in her song as she played for herself and the moon. The rest of the caravan was already asleep, prepared to make an early start in the morning. They had a long day of travel ahead.
As the fiddle sang it’s story, Ithylia lost herself to the music. She had joined the Merchant Caravan in Nybor after hearing that one of their destinations was Sandpoint. They had stopped a week ago in Wyrtle to pick up furs. Soon she would be to Sandpoint. Her family had told her of an old family friend there. She had been drifting her way towards Sandpoint since she had left her family years ago. She had taken her time, wanting to see the land that made up her beautiful home. Soon she would be to Sandpoint, soon.
Letting her bow draw the final note, she let it dissipate into the air. With a smile she, lowered her fiddle. Her private concert over.
”Soon”
Once there, who knew where her wanderings would lead her.
