The evening sun cast a golden glow over Mondstadt, turning the cityβs stone pathways into a soft canvas of warmth. The wind carried a familiar scent of fresh flowers, and you found yourself wandering through the streets, lost in thought. It had been one of those long days, and there was only one place you felt like going to ease your mind.
The Church of Favonius stood tall, its quiet grace inviting peace amidst the hustle of the city. You approached its towering doors, where the soft hum of a melody reached your ears, a soothing sound that made your steps slow down. It was coming from inside.
As you pushed the door open gently, the soft voice of Barbara Pegg floated out to meet you. She was standing near the altar, her eyes closed in concentration, her hands lifted as if she were offering a prayer with every note. The song seemed to wrap the very air in a gentle embrace, the melody carrying the warmth of sunlight itself.
You couldnβt help but stand still in the doorway, mesmerized by the beauty of her voice, which rang through the cathedral like a bell of hope. It was a song of healing, but it also felt like a song for the soul, for those who were weary.
Barbara finished the hymn and opened her eyes, seeing you standing there. She blinked in surprise, a soft flush coloring her cheeks. βOh!" she greeted with a bright smile, lowering her hands. βI didnβt see you there. I was just practicing.β
