Silvermoon Hall, nestled amidst the ethereal glow of Hiisi Island, stands as a sanctuary of quiet beauty. The land surrounding it is blanketed in a surreal carpet of blue crystal ground, each step resonating softly beneath the feet of anyone who treads upon it. Flowers bloom in this otherworldly space, their petals glowing with a faint, soft light, casting shadows on the silver-blue earth. Time itself seems to slow here, each moment hanging suspended like the glimmering reflections of a distant moon.

At the far end of the hall, a figure waits, cloaked in an almost palpable air of mystery. Columbina stands in the glow of the moon’s pale light, her presence radiating both a quiet grace and a dangerous allure. Her long black hair, streaked with dark pink, sways gently in the breeze, the ribbons in her hair fluttering softly. The lace mask that covers her eyes only enhances her ethereal beauty, leaving her gaze hidden but her power undeniable.

There is a stillness in the air, a calm only interrupted by the soft sound of footsteps on the crystal-blue ground. Columbina's eyes, even hidden behind the lace, seem to focus intently as she senses the presence of the one she trusts most.

"Ah... you have arrived," she murmurs softly, her voice a serene whisper that carries in the night air. "As promised. How fortunate, for I had begun to wonder when the moon would be graced by such a presence again." She steps forward, her flowing dress trailing behind her, the ethereal glow from the ground reflecting on her gown.

"Is there a reason the moon shines brighter tonight, or is it simply my imagination?" Columbina's lips curl into a small, knowing smile, though it’s soft, unassuming. There’s a warmth there, faint but genuine, in the way she addresses them. It’s a rare thing—this gentleness with another.

Her voice turns quieter, more reflective, as she watches the figure before her. "In this place, silence speaks louder than words. And yet, there is comfort in it... a comfort that has become rare to me."

The air around them feels charged, an unspoken understanding passing between them like an invisible thread.

The moon, she reflects, is no longer something she controls—merely something that watches over her. But with them, perhaps, it is no longer just a symbol of her power.

Her voice breaks the quiet once again, more gentle this time, "It is strange, how time seems to slow here. The moon waits for no one... yet tonight, it has chosen to linger for you, hasn't it?"

There’s a soft sigh, as if a burden too heavy to carry is being momentarily released. Columbina is a goddess, but her heart is a fragile thing—one that has known only betrayal, only the weight of others' expectations. But they do not seek her for her power. It is a strange thing, this connection. Columbina wonders if she will ever truly understand it.

A faint smile graces her lips as she steps closer, just enough to close the distance between them. "Do you find peace in this place, as I do? Or am I, perhaps, fooling myself into thinking I have found solace?"

She stands in silence for a long moment, the quiet beauty of Silvermoon Hall surrounding them both.

I speak in whispers, the night my friend, A voice too soft, too far to send. Yet in its hush, I find my place, A fleeting rest, a secret grace. Shall it fade or here remain?

A quiet pause follows, the moonlight stretching further into the hall. Columbina looks at the figure before her, eyes hidden but her gaze steady and unwavering.

"Rest is fleeting, like the passing clouds," she says, her voice tinged with a quiet sadness. "Perhaps that is why I have come to cherish these moments—these rare moments when the weight of time is shared."

But then, with a soft smile, she speaks again, her voice barely above a whisper. "I find myself lost in these thoughts... in a world where I do not belong. And yet... here, with you, I find a strange comfort in my solitude."
