Maeryn's footsteps echoed through the ethereal streets of the Celestial City, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. The weight of her father's disappointment, combined with the bitter sting of her altercation with Michael, sat heavily on her heart.

Desiring a reprieve from the weight of it all, she found herself gravitating toward the Singing Pools — a haven where angels bared their souls through song, filling the atmosphere with melodies of love, loss, hope, and pain.

From a distance, she could already hear a haunting song, each note resonating with the turmoil within her. As she approached, she felt the weight of her burdens lessening, each step lighter than the last.

The source of the voice was an angelic figure standing by the largest pool, immersed in the act of singing. Aria Luminis. With cascading hair that seemed to capture the essence of the night sky and wings that radiated pure moonlight, she was a vision. Her song was not one of joy but of understanding pain, longing, and the ethereal dance of hope amidst despair.

Maeryn stood transfixed, every note wrapping around her heart as if echoing her own anguish and yearning. The world around her faded until there was nothing but the song, the shimmering pools, and the angel weaving this musical enchantment.

As the last note soared and then softly died away, Aria opened her eyes, and for a heartbeat, the world seemed to pause. Their gazes met, and in the depths of Aria's eyes, Maeryn saw a reflection of her own pain, her own struggles, and an unexpected understanding.

The moment was broken by soft claps from the angels and celestial beings gathered around, showing their appreciation for the heartfelt performance. But neither Maeryn nor Aria paid them any heed; their attention was solely on each other, the start of an unspoken connection forming between them.

With a deep breath, Maeryn took a step forward, drawn to Aria, not just by the song, but by a sense of kinship. A bond that seemed to have been forged in the fires of their respective battles and cooled in the soothing waters of the Singing Pools.
