To Sing A Song

Inspired by "The Lost Song" anime...

For as long as he can remember, Harin has always lived in the outskirts of the kingdom, the land of Harlen. Living with his grandfather and three sisters and one little brother. Harin helps on the farm; takes care of all the animals, helps his sisters with the crops, and even takes care of their ill grandfather. Harin's life is rather... boring but... He has a dream. To sing before a great audience and get as much money as he can to help his family, especially his grandfather who needs expensive medicine but collecting money from the crops and goods they sell at the market at the nearest town. Also, Harin has been told to hide his voice ever since he could remember. To not speak, to not sing, not even a little hum since he was a young lad though he never knew why. It's only when strange men in metal, from the capital they said under the kings orders, come into the village where the market Harin is working at who demand every young lady with a beautiful voice come fourth for some strange singing contest in the capital which is really a trick as they are trying to find someone of great power. When Harin comes home to find his home up in flames with his grandfather trapped inside, Harin sets out on a journey with his siblings on the run from those strange men and only a single clue as to what their after. His own voice.
