The music traveled through the air, the water splashing as he moved about. His steps were light and springy as he hopped over small stones in the river without missing a beat on his violin. Long locks of blond hair flew behind him as he sprinted in the water.
   The sound of music had lured her deeper into the woods. Who could be playing such sweet songs where no one can hear it? Hiding behind a tree, she watched the player with his violin, completely entranced.Â
   She emerged from her hiding spot and called out to him, “What song are you playing?”
He stopped in the midst of his steps upon hearing her voice. One might wonder how he could’ve heard her over his playing and the sounds of the water but he was a nøkken and fairly attune to the different sounds around him and had hearing better than a human’s. “A classical piece by Paganini. Would you like to hear more?”
