it sings the sweetest songs
The morning was quiet and dewey. Sunlight filtered down through the trees, dappling the vivid green grass below with bright beams of light. Nature hummed a soft tune that whistled through the trees' leaves, the Rapax River bubbling along the border of the forest.
Sometime in the early morning hours, the birds awoke. Their songs echoed and carried over the gentle breeze, a vibrant mixture of morning melodies and love-filled songs, even though spring and summer had long-since faded away into fall.
As dawn crested into the early hours of the morning, the wind began to carry a melody through the forest and across the meadows... one that was not of bird, of nature, or of the skies. It was something played, something artificial but still just as beautiful.
The enchanting melody happened to catch the attention of two small hummingbirds as they flitted along together. Jecooze was the first to notice the sound as it drifted along the wind, her bright eyes widening and feathers ruffling as she stared in the direction that it came from.
She perched up on a thin branch, and glanced back in Falcon's direction. Let's go see! she chirped at him, chest puffing. The duller male hummingbird's mind sighed, I don't think it's a go- he started to respond, before Jecooze darted away. He stared in the direction she flew to, a mental grumble resounding as he took flight. If he didn't protect her, who would, after all?
The brighter female hummingbird's curiosity knew no bounds, and she was entranced by the melody she heard. The birdsongs that crested the morning air were sweet, although unsurprising to her... but this. This! It was a mysterious song she had not heard before, thrummed by someone - or something - she had never seen before. Falcon was curious, although his was hidden behind a serious mask as he chided Jecooze for putting herself in so much danger for a simple song.
It didn't take the pair long to come upon the riverbank, where Jecooze knew the melody originated from. It seems someone had taken to playing their lute in the morning sun, and the two hummingbirds neared the curious figure...
