[PQ] Putting it all on the line

YOU SAID THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOON IT ROSE TOO SOON AND WE'RE DOING WHAT WE SHOULD An hour to wait, and tales to tell. Amalia of a year ago might not have been eager to speak up and share, but the girl who sits by the fire today has grown in time and experience. As the only Natural she cannot help but feel a sense of duty to share what she knows; sitting up at Jigano's suggestion, the girl licks her lips before speaking cautiously: "I... know a song about the Spark Bird. My grandmother used to sing it during LongNight, to keep us calm." She hesitates a moment, waiting to see if the others will accept, before beginning the simple tune. Her eyes are on the fire and her cheeks are flushed, but her voice rises in tone and pitch, growing stronger with each verse. ""Long Night comes and darkness creeps Into your room as you fall asleep Hush little child, don’t you fear Soon the Spark Bird will be here! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, light our way! Make the Long Night bright as day! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, come this year! Yours is the song we long to hear! Wings like a storm and eyes like a fire See as the bird flies higher and higher Bringing light to the world below Setting Caido all aglow! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, light our way! Make the Long Night bright as day! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, come this year! Yours is the song we long to hear! So build a perch and leave a gift! Whisper to Rae your dearest wish! If we are good and do not cry, Soon the Spark Bird will light the sky! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, light our way! Make the Long Night bright as day! Spark Bird, Spark Bird, come this year! Yours is the song we long to hear!" a m a l i a You said it's life that moves too much We're losing touch But I'm not losing you
