Prelude ♫ Introduction

Characters: Zelda and you!
Setting: Around the tower.
Format: Starting in brackets.
Summary: The eff is this. We are not amused. :| Also, music and exploration.
Warnings: None yet; will edit if something comes up.

[After the chaos of the past few days, hearing soft music ringing throughout the tower might seem disorienting. Perhaps it's another trick, something to lull one into a false sense of security... but those that follow the medley will find it has nothing to do with the tower itself.

Rather, it's coming from a regal looking young woman and the small blue instrument that she carries with utmost care. Those sensitive to it will feel magic resonating with the notes themselves, swelling and building with each song until ultimately...

Nothing. It just vanishes into thin air.

The young woman sighs, a look of frustration crossing her face, and continues on in her exploration.]

[Riku hasn't had much time to explore the tower yet, especially with all those 'first meetings' with certain people and that attack happening, but he is making up for it now.

He blinks beneath the blindfold when he starts hearing the music and feels it's magic wash over him; he is pretty sure it's not a trick of the tower though - there is too much light woven within it.

Following the sound, he isn't all too surprised to find it a girl with a heart that smell just as bright as the magic within her music. ...Though the lack of effect kind of throws him off.]

...Spell gone wrong?

[Zelda peers at the boy for a moment, curious. What a strange outfit. Can he see behind that blindfold? But, no, there are stranger things happening, and he doesn't seem antagonistic. Perhaps he'll know something.]

In a sense. The magic is there, but something is interfering with it.

[Maybe he can, maybe he can't - Riku always prefers to keep people guessing about that.

He crooks his head slightly, he has never seen magic being cast through an instrument... though he supposes that there are far, far stranger things in the worlds. There is always something new to learn, it seems.]

What was supposed to happen?

[Rest assured, she will find the concept of a keyblade just as odd, if not more so.]

Each song is strongly tied to a specific area of my homeland. When played on this ocarina, they possesses the power to transport the musician to any one of those areas.

[In other words, she was trying to go home.]

[Probably.

He nods, frowning slightly.]

It seems that no spell or ability that could lead away from this place, works as it should.

[His Dark Corridors don't lead to other worlds anymore either.]

Is that so.

[She had her suspicions when the songs failed, but to have it confirmed... well, it's kind of discouraging. Nevertheless, it's still far too early to give up hope completely.]

The creators of this place certainly seem determined to keep us here, for some reason.
