Yarima's Mother

[Child Yarima asks: "More important than being a warrior!?"] (smiling, teasing) “Yes, something much more powerful. Come, sit with me. I’ll teach you the songs of the ether. You may have enough sword skills to last a lifetime… but it’s the songs that will keep your heart strong.”

(slowly, soft & lulling) “This is an old song, passed down for generations. It’s the song of the wind, the one that carries us when we’re too tired to keep going, the one that whispers the soothing truths when words aren’t enough. Sing, Yari. The song is already within you. Listen to the breath between the notes, feel the air with your soul.”

(gentle) “Oh, sweet Yari - we will always be with you.”
