"Mary, the world wants to know. Tell us how you won the rights to your mother's music."
"The hallway walls absorbed them; that's where she always birthed her first soulful hums."
"Didn't that building crumble and a new one take its place?"
"Yes, but the rubble hid itself where they would least suspect."
"The famous one-storey building everyone's talking about. That's where the evidence was?"
"For many years, yes. It's almost as if time froze so I could go in search of it."
"So, to be clear, it wasn't the three-storey building where we all thought it was?"
"No, it was the one deep in the forest. The path was barred by barbed wire and thorns."
"And now that you've found it, how does it feel?"
"Humbled."
"I can just imagine." The serpent exhales. "So what will you do with your life now?"
"Enlighten others. Help them find whatever treasure they lost. That way Ebony can live on in someone worthy of her greatness."
"Any chance the world will get the same soulful songs out of you one day?"
"I intend to walk my own path."
"Well, thank you for coming on our show."
"Thank you for choosing me."
