[Whyleth]

Zol Nur,

Thank you for sharing your poetry with me the following day. I do stand by my words to you, I think you should continue to create poems to share with the world and those close to you. I know it took a lot of courage for you to share something so personal with me. As you said, we should be focusing on what brings us together, not what separates us.

After going through my studies of Pre-Ringfall music, I came across this piece called 'The Owl's Lullaby' and it reminded me of what you said to me about your poem, looking up at the Sky, looking to Izdu for answers. Much like an owl, you go out at night to hunt for what you seek, so I decided to share this piece with you and it's history. I have not recorded down the lyrics yet, but please let me know if you'd like me to play it for you some time, as I know not many can read sheet music.

While the composer of this song is unknown, it is rumored to be some of the earlier uncredited works done by Valentino before the Ringfall. In his sleepless nights; he found himself wandering in darkness only lit by the moon and the stars, much like an owl that hunts its prey silently under the cover of darkness.

With the silence night brought he was able to hear more carefully, more in tune in the world than he ever was before. The more time he spent living under a monochromatic sky the more he admired the beauty of it.

The song plays with almost a romantic longing for nightfall, creating a waltz in an ode to night.

[Enclosed is a few pages of sheet music.]
