"Rebecca, hurry up! I'm late as it is."

"I'm on the way, Flash. Gotta find my lucky pick!"

Searching in her pigsty she calls a room, Rebecca throw her clothes on her bed and still couldn't find her guitar pick.

"Becky, you sure it isn't in your earring?" asked Flash who waited by the door, holding his bagpipes. Hearing the running feet coming down the stairs, a bipedal blue fur cat with orange hair in a ponytail hug him.

"You're the best, bro."

Flash help her by grabbing Becky's mini amplifier. "I know. We gotta go. Dad's waiting for us."

The Siblings walk out the door of their cottage and made their way to the field next to the gorge where their father stood with two pigs eating grass nearby.

"Darby, you're late" the Father told his son with disappointing look on hid face.

"I'm so-"

"It was my fault, dad. I was looking for guitar pick and he help me find it. It's my fault" said Becky, interrupting her brother.

The father look back and forth at his siblings with a serious look. Suddenly, he let out a giggle. "As long that we are together on this beautiful night, I can't be angry with you two."

Darby and his dad played together while Becky and the pigs dance in the starry moon night. More of the locals joined in the music with their own bagpipes and played on.

Flash took a break and join his sister in enjoying their father's performance.

But the fun was about to end. The sound bagpipes begin to dwindle. Nobody was noticing it till the Sibling's father was the only one playing.

He stop playing, turning around to find his friends. They weren't playing. "Going home so soon? That's not like them."

"Everything okay, dad?" asked Becky.

"I don't kn-"

But he didn't get to finish his answer as something hit him in the back. He didn't move. He didn't speak. Flash and Becky ran over to their dad, trying to speak with him as he stood there like a statue.

Nothing.

They begin to panic as the night was just...silent.

It was a beautiful summer night with the moon shining down of the trees, bushes and grass. There was this magical energy here that would cause an angry person to be happy.

The Traveler smiled as he looked around the village he stumble upon. He was just too happy as he watch some pigs walk near his legs.

"Ah. Who doesn't love this place?"

The Traveler walk inside the nearest building which was a bar. The locals stared at him for a few seconds before returning to what they were doing. Going towards the Bar, he tone down the smile on his face as the Bartender wasn't as happy.

"Hi. Sorry to bother you. I'm looking for the place where Satyr Thunder will be playing their final concert?"

The Faun Bartender let out a small sigh which trigger a chain reaction of sighs from the people behind the Traveler.

Something didn't sound good.

"The concert is canceled I'm afraid."

The look of devastation on his face was the same for everyone in the land. It was times like this that he wish he had a cell phone.
