A visitor at Alizarin Academy

Davina walks up to the stage. A smile spreads across her face. Holding her arms out eyes closed, spinning around. The bard pulls her harp from it's case and begins to play. Her voice rings out through the empty halls as she pours her heart into her music.

I grip this small town stage. Come alive while the music playes.
I'm gonna let this dream take me anywhere.
I grip this broke down mind. This music cried here's my life.
And I ain't quitting' this fight until it's everywhere.

The first time that I picked up this harp is the very last time I would be alone.
Like a breath of life when I sing lines. With a pen and paper how I get mine.
Every sense I was a itty bitty baby born into the world it's the rhythm that made me.
I couldn't talk but I could keep up with the music, Calimport I was turned tough way back.
Influence run deeper than a common song.
If it was coming out of the theater then it wasn't wrong.
But Calimport is when I woke up, opened up my mind and my mouth is when I spoke up.
Took me places that I ain't never ever been before no longer liking I was kicking in the front door.
I'm just getting started I ain't trying to quit this. This is what saved me can I get a witness?
This harp, this song, leaving this testimony to the days that went wrong.
This moment my time. Blood flow from the moment into my song.
This song called life lead into it deep cut like a knife.
Cut like a first string, first beat it dropping' you believe in the music it ain't never gonna stop.

Don't stop believing.
Just hold onto that feeling.
Don't stop believing.
I put it down like I'm never gonna let it go.
Caliport is always gonna be my heart and soul.
Don't stop believing.
Just hold on to that feeling.
Don't stop believing.
On everything that I love while I'm still alive,
Calimport ain't never gonna ever die.

I just can't stop this feeling.
This music's got me kneeling.
Deep in my soul it's feeding I just can't stop this believing.
Cormyr it hold me down. I don't plan on leaving.
Until they put me in the ground, till I'm no longer breathing.
Through all the sweat and tears, through all the blood and fears.
This music never left me.
It's had my back for years.
Those nights when I was lost, beside myself, thinking weird.
I took my hands off of the wheel and let the music steer.
It took me to a place where I felt no one could hurt me.
Even if my friends would turn or if my family desert me.
This musics a part of me and honestly I don't feel worthy.
It's pulled my life from darkness many nights while on this journey.

Don't stop believing.
Just hold onto that feeling.
Don't stop believing.
I put it down like I'm never gonna let it go.
Cormyr is always gonna have my heart and soul.
Don't stop believing.
Just hold on to that feeling.
Don't stop believing.
On everything that I love while I'm still alive,
Cormyr ain't never gonna ever die.
Don't stop believing.
Hold ooooon
Don't stop believing.

Headmaster Vennis applauds as he listens from a corner of the stands.

"Well performed Mrs Davina. Always a pleasure to see the stage well used by talented people. Feel free to take refreshments at the bar. Now what brings you to the Academy - have you some study you wish to accomplish?

Smiles from ear to ear at Vennis.

"I didn't realize anyone was here. I was in town and you know how the past tends to rear it's head. I remember the first day I seen this stage as if it was yesterday. I was so angry back then. The blood was screaming in my ears to be fully awakened and set free. Darkharp found me singing and invited me here. The day I was leaving Cormyr I decided I would at least stop here. I walked up on this stage and poured my heart out in a song and lots of tears. That was the day I decided no matter where my journey took me I would always return here."

Packing her harp back into it's case as she speaks.

"I would love to have that drink. Care to join me, Vennis? I do have a few things I wish to speak to you about. That is if you have time."

[lucesi]

"I would be delighted to join you for that drink Davina. I believe there is a special on Moonshae Isle whiskeys at present."

Vennis then ushers her to the bar

Warin taking the Headmaster up on his offer, starts playing on the piano next to the stage. A warm smile is on his face.
