The story of a young boy's mother that flees her husband who fights of an army of soldiers coming to take her head, she holds her infant son in her hands and a bloody arrow shoot through her arm in the other. Her legs were gashed with sword cuts from the soldiers and pricked with thorns from running though the forest's thorn bushes. The sounds of yelling soldiers clashing in the distance along with fiery torches that lit the the darkness of the night filled her heart with terror and dread, every muscle in her body aching for her to tend to her wounds, but she didn't stop running. She eventually finds an open cave, and after walking into the cave discovers that it is covered in luminescent crystals that fill the walls with a blue and purple glow. The mother leans against the wall and sit down cradling her baby, she had lost so much blood that she couldn't see straight, everything was in a blur. Her legs felt like stone and her arm shot with the arrow stung like fire. Her gashes and cuts leaked blood onto the floors on the caverns and rushed down the hall like a velvet river.

Whether or not the soldiers found her, she was going to die...

But she had one last thing to give to her child, one more thing that he use to remember her from, so she began to sing. A beautiful voice echoed through the cave as the mother began to soothe the young boy, she sung until her last breath, leaving the cave to echo her voice. She slumped over and hung her head, still holding her child in her arms. The color from her eyes had left and her heart fell silent...

The baby began to cry and the echo of the cave came back, but this time, in it's own tune. One that resembled the mother's song, but was also different, it was almost like the cave had a mind of its own that could sense the boy's distress. The baby stopped crying to listen to the cave, it's smooth melody put him back to sleep in his dead mother's arms.

Then the cave went silent...
