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.
