Salutations fellow bokoblins. I've been busy today, so I will only be posting one chapter today. Don't worry. We will be back to normal soon. Full credit to lq shinoda and Justin Ly for the guitar mix and to Toby Fox, for creating such a wonderful song. I'll let you guys know when to begin to play it.

Lucius POV 

We see the crew move from the stage and throughout the boat. Brodsky comes down from the stage.

Lisomah: "Nicely done, Captain."

Lucius: "I agree. Well done."

Brodsky: "Thank you, guys. I didn't expect them to trust me so quickly."

Lucius: "They know that you will lead on in your father's footsteps."

Brodsky: "I know so too. "

Brodsky takes a look at us.

Brodsky: "My you two need some sleep."

Lisomah: "I do feel worn out. A lot has happened today."

Lucius: "True that. So, Brodsky, we are heading back to the suite for some shut eye."

Brodsky: "Goodnight you two."

Lisomah: "Same to you."

Lisomah and I walk away from the dining room towards the suite. Once we get there we walk in and close the door. We place down our weapon, and we go to separate rooms to change into our bed clothes. We head to our beds and lay down.

Lisomah POV

Lucius: "What a day huh?"

Lisomah: "It sure was. So much had happened. Both good and bad."

Lucius: "Yeah. Enjoy your sleep."

Lisomah: "Thanks, but I won't."

Lucius: "Why?"

Lisomah: "Everytime I go to sleep, I get the same nightmare about the genocide."

Lucius: "Hmm, I have something that could help quell those dreams."

He gets up and goes towards his things, and grabs a small guitar.

Lisomah: "You have one of those?"

Lucius: "It helps remind me of home. Plus I enjoy playing it."

Lisomah: "So you are going to play me a song?"

Lucius: "It is a song my mom used to play me if I had nightmares. She said it helped quell them. It actually worked."

Lisomah: "Really? Well then, go for it."

Lucius: "Alright."

Lucius picks up his guitar and plays a few notes. He begins to play the song.

(Play the video. Read the lyrics to the tune.)

Lucius: 

"I have a song for you

to help quell those dreams.

Please listen to my song

to help end the screams.

Show the fear no remorce, 

because I believe 

you will succeed.

Now just feel the embrace.

I don't want you to be 

scared anymore.

Soon you'll see

what this song can do.

It will show you wonders 

and happy dreams, 

so listen closely

and you'll be happy.

I can't let you

be scared anymore.

I want you to rest 

easy.

You must see a world of clouds 

and happy dreams.

You musn't be filled with 

the pain

of your past. 

You should be

filled with

happy thoughts.

I want you

to sleep well.

Your dreams should

all come true. 

I'll always be by your side.

And you 

shouldn't fret over

 these memories.

Please sleep well and you'll see

a shining,

bright new dawn.

I want you to be

always happy.

You shouldn't fear the pain or

memories 

of your past. 

Sleep well now, 

and you'll be

filled with happy thoughts.

These days it's hard to say

if there are 

happy thoughts 

left in this world.

But I know that you

have heard my song, 

so now I know

you will be 

always happy.

So please sleep well,

because now you know 

you won't have dreams

 haunt you so.

Lisomah please sleep tight.

I know it's frightening,

but now you've heard 

this lullaby.

Please sleep well,

and it'll end well.

This is the end of my

song."

He places his guitar down, as I sit there speechless. It was so beautiful and thoughtful. He did that for me. His voice broke my train of thought.

Lucius: "So , did you like it?"

Lisomah: "I loved it. Thank you so much."

Lucius: "It's no worries. I'm just helping a friend out."

Lisomah: "So your mom made that song?"

Lucius: "Most of it. I tweaked this version a bit to fit what you dream about. She taught me how to play this song, so I could play it to others. Ask me anytime you feel scared at night, and I'll play it for you."

Lisomah: "Thank you. I will."

Lucius: "Goodnight Lisomah."

Lisomah: "Goodnight Lucius."

He blows out the candle and the room fills with darkness, besides the windows shining in moonlight. I guess it is time to see if his song worked. I close my eyes and go to sleep.
