HOTOTO

our hearts beat in time with the earth.

I do not remember much. I think I have well covered this fact since my return to Helovia, but in case you had missed it, I'm one of those washed up amnesics. I do have a task, to find a mysterious murderer, one I suspect is too close to my heart. One of the few faces I recognized... and it scares me.

Walking along the beach with silver sands, I remember memories with Midas, a golden boy and the shadow of my sister (strangely, without wings). I am young, youthful, prancing about in the water with a foal half my size but hardly weak. Midas laughing, the shadow watching patiently. Who is she? So familiar to Ranjiri yet not. Our mother? Maybe.
I can't recall her face.

It pains my heart, this thought, but I have no rhyme or reason why. I am so distracted I almost do not notice the cluster of bodies and the singing egg. I am really out of it, no?

In fact, my face almost runs directly into an ebony rump before I blink awake, turning my head to avoid touching flesh and starting into consciousness. I pause, mouth slack for a moment, hooves dancing backward, until my bicolored eyes transfix upon the surface of an egg. Lost, abandoned, searching for the love of another, the egg was singing. The soft, echoing voice in my mind welcoming within me a warmth in my soul. For I was lost. I was abandoned. I was searching for my love now lost. And I... I was the Earthsinger.

Next to my side, my harp chirps awake, a melody reflecting the sudden bittersweet delight of my spirit. Without realizing, I begin to whisper a song, the earth at my hooves vibrating softly in response. The tone is low, the words arising with patient, eerie slowed syllables. A ballad for the lost little egg - one I thought we shared.

"Open your eyes, for your plight is repeated,
Deaf to our pleas, they would see us defeated,
Our hearts may be torn, our lives forsaken,
Yet hope remains, our future not taken.

Walk free, believe, feel the warmth on your skin.
To all of his children, whom life flows abundant,
The Land is alive, filling us with purpose,
To those he loved first, guide those who walk after.

From shadow, loss, the depths of our hearts,
Hear us,
Free us,
Lead us to his Land, where life flows abundant.

From one he loved first,
Follow me for your answers."
