"~Hey pretty. What will you do with your time in Hallownest? And have you thought about decorating the nest? I think a door would be nice. Maybe floorboards too. As long as I fit it's fine. But we definitely need lights."

@midwife-of-deepnest

I do not know.

I think I'd like it to be colorful. The pale light and dark bring back memories I'd rather not face.

How do you feel about green? Maybe some fluffy furniture?

*Songstress stands at the door when Midwife returns from her hunt.*

I have been reading, and we need to talk.

@servant-of-song

"Hi, hello! Yes, we talk!" Midwife's tail immediately started wagging seeing her mate. There was truly no greater blessing!

SHINE BRILLIANT, SONGSTRESS

O sing me a song, my dearest cantatrice

O sing me a song, my velvety chanteuse

O sing me a song, my beloved songbird

O sing me a song, my silvery diva

Forthwith, Songstress, sing me those cherished melodies of the cosmos

The Milky Way was dead silent; the astronomers couldn't hear a pin drop from the cosmos and its inhabitants; the silence was deafening to the point of eerily drenching

Blanketing the entire macrocosm, until a small cluster of stars began to shine softly and brilliantly

With a lambent spark, the stellar jewel commences to softly hum to itself, creating a quiet and yet potent euphony that permeates throughout and serves as a delightful foreshadowing

An aetherius songstress appears, a vocal force of nature in the form of a statuesque girl named Peyton, who first graced the Milky Way with her presence

She moves with ethereal grace through the starry vault; her flawless porcelain skin, a canvas of alabaster grace, is remarkably distinguished and captivating throughout

Her tresses flowed, a cascade of ember and carmine, within the cosmic velvet, each sanguine thread flowing with an unearthly fire that illuminated the profound abyss

Her eyes are like twin sapphires, holding the mythic clarity of ancient skies

They shine brilliantly like a remnant of enchanting starlight, possessing a brilliant and piercing quality that is both captivating and profound

The gaze is so powerful that it feels as though it is penetrating through the nebulous brume, revealing truth and beauty in the world

Her diaphanous gown was a vision of transcendent beauty, elegantly woven from moonbeam threads, embroidered with the shimmer of distant stars

As she gracefully strides, her heels gleam with a tender light

With every stride, a shimmering wake, as if she walked on pure light

Thereupon, a sudden caesura, the musica universalis faltered

Now, the cosmic quietude descended once more

Albeit it was precisely purposed

The aetherial chorus holds its bated breath, a hunger for the first note of her madrigal

Her gaze withdrew from the world, her eyelids became veils, as she plunged inward and, finding her anchor within its brilliant stellar nucleus, with a sharp expiration of breath, then, a slow, deliberate parting of her lips

With a coruscant glimmer wink, she graced the stellar madrigal with a velvety lilt

Silence yields as the cosmos remembers its tune; the musica universalis has returned, her pure, crystal-clear vocals offer a resplendent addition to the aetherial chorus

Her cosmic serenade flowed on, her vocals bloomed into a velvety chiaroscuro, woven through a tide of stellar cadence that bathed her audience in an otherworldly aureate ocean

She is a virtuoso; her performance is an ethereal symphony, with each note precisely placed

She fervently breathes an empyreal narrative with the sublime verity of a lyrical astronomer; her voice a delicate instrument that paints the air with stardust

Each note served as a salve, a gentle balm of a minor note, smoothing out the rough edges of a restless heart

The soft melodic sound eased the burdens they carried with profound grace, a harmonious tide washing away their uncertainties and leaving a tranquil space

Her lulling refrains absolved the anguish, granted surcease for the wandering spirits, and eclipsed her apprehension

Her celestial cadence, an enchanting cosmic allure, wove a potent spell

Though the act of singing plunged her into an exquisite agony, her voice remained an irresistible charm that captivated constellations and enchanted stars across the vast, silent galaxy, beguiling every star in the cosmos

The celestial beings were enraptured, not solely by her powerful vocal prowess, but by her sublime presence and vocal artistry, which left the spellbound multitude utterly transfixed

As she serenely traversed the cosmic ocean, the mellifluous strain swelled to its crescendo as her song began, drawing a veil of ethereal twilight across the stars with graceful ease

Her effulgence softened, and the effervescence around her turned to a gentle shimmer, a tender indicator that the grand crescendo had found its conclusion

With a heaving breath, sharply expelled, then her voice, a clarion call, commanded the air

The aureate bridge, a rich crescendo, resonated through the heavens, its ethereal echo that beckoned all who would listen

From her lips, the notes did not merely flow; her voice drifted as a river cascaded serenely upon the galactic brume, an effervescent lullaby binding the night to her song

Though the sidereal coercion pressed down upon her form, her unquenchable zeal for singing transcended every physical limitation

The atmosphere grew heavy with the sweet mystique of her presence

The night’s embrace felt clandestine, as if she were bound to the very heart of the infinite abyss

This epochal zenith, her sacrosanct time, unmatched and unshared

She is the siren of the aether, the celestial chanteuse, whose voice, a starlit sonata, captures the essence of cosmic refulgence

She's eternally celebrated, her voice an eternal resonance that makes the very stars shimmer in harmony, her spirit, a constellation of grace, forever illuminating the night sky with a timeless luminescence that warms every watching heart with a radiant ember, a brilliance etched in eternity, inspiring upward gazes, each star softly whispering her name
