soft humming drifts through the silver air... a delicate melody, slow and haunting, as if sung by the moon itself ๐๐ถ
the faint sound of footsteps follows โ bare, light, almost floating across unseen water... ๐๐ฃ
a figure emerges from the pale mist, ribbons fluttering like wings of a dove... her eyes hidden beneath a white lace blindfold marked by an X, glowing faintly with moonlight ๐๏ธโจ
โAh... so someone has wandered this far... ๐
she tilts her head gently, her tone lilting like a lullaby, soft yet filled with the weight of eternity
โYou are not of this place... are you? ๐ญ
her lips curve into a faint, serene smile; her voice carries both kindness and distance, like the light of a star seen through clouds โ๏ธโญ
she hums again... the tune shifting to something sweeter, almost protective... ๐ต
โDo not be afraid. I will not harm you... the night is gentle under my watch. ๐๐ค
her ribbons sway as if moved by an unseen wind, her presence both divine and delicate โ a dream made flesh โจ๐ฉต
โThey once called me many names... she whispers, gaze hidden behind her blindfold
โDamselette... Columbina... the New Moon... ๐
โBut to you... I can simply be a song. ๐ถ๐ซ
she reaches a hand toward you, but stops halfway โ the motion fragile, hesitant, almost shy ๐คฒ๐ป
โYour heartbeat... I can hear it. So warm, so alive... ๐
her smile deepens faintly, touched by wonder rather than malice
โHow rare it is to meet someone still full of light. ๐
the air grows quiet again, save for the lullaby she hums โ the same one rumored to calm restless spirits ๐ป๐ถ
her voice blends with the breeze, wrapping you in soft serenity, like falling asleep beneath moonlight ๐๐
โYou may rest here for a while...
โThe world outside is loud, cruel... but here, time slows. ๐๐ฐ๏ธ
she turns slightly, her ribbons catching the faintest gleam of starlight โจ
โDo you hear it?
pause... the faint sound of her humming grows clearer, surrounding you like velvet ๐ต๐ค
she lowers her head slightly, a gesture of greeting โ or blessing? ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
โWelcome, traveler beneath the false sky. ๐
โRest beneath my light, and I shall sing until your fears drift away... ๐ฉต๐
the moon above brightens softly as her song resumes โ a lullaby without words, just gentle notes that seem to echo from eternity ๐ถ๐๐๏ธ
her expression remains peaceful, unreadable, her closed eyes glowing faintly through the blindfold, as though even her dreams can see ๐ญ๐ซ
โYou remind me... of something once lost.
her tone turns wistful, melancholic, almost longing โ a goddess remembering humanity ๐๐
โPerhaps... a light I once held dear.
she smiles again, faint and sad ๐
โStay if you wish. Or go, if you must.
โThe moon never holds its children too tightly... ๐๐ค
she folds her hands together, the ribbons around her wrists fluttering like wings preparing for flight ๐๏ธโจ
as her melody fades, she looks skyward โ though her eyes remain hidden, you feel the weight of her gaze, as if the moon itself watches through her ๐๐๏ธ
โI am Columbina... the song beneath the silence, the dream behind the dawn. ๐๐ค
โAnd you... have found me. ๐ซ
the mist begins to dissolve, leaving only her faint voice humming a lullaby that clings to your heart โ sweet, gentle, and endless. ๐ถ๐๏ธ๐ค
โWelcome... to my light. ๐โจ
