(You might wanna play this while the story goes on) The stars glistened through the night as the crickets chirped in a soothing choir.The little tune spread out through the night sky and made all the villagers sleepy. They all prepared for bed as the soft lullaby lulled them into a peaceful sleep. Most animals were already sleeping with their young ones along side, letting out soft snores ever so often. The others that stood up worked along to the beautiful song. The villagers never knew who had such a powerful-yet majestic voice, and so the legend of the Singing Whisp began. Legend has it that their voice is so mystic it has hypnotized many before. Those who go and look for the Singing Whisp never succeeded, thus the only thing they'd be able to see are two large (e/c) glowing eyes before they'd disappear into the dark night. Who is this person? Are they even real? Why are they doing this? No one knows-well none except for one person.

(???POV)

I finished my lullaby and gazed over the small village from my tree with a smile on my face. Its nice to know that I can help many people with nothing but my voice. I've always cared about everyone like that and guided them through their lives as their own self conscious. When ever they need me I'm there. But there are people who want to steal my voice and power for their own selfish needs, which really gets me angry sometimes, yet again there's nothing I could do about it. Some people sent knights after me and I ended up having to flee. Trust me, it's better to turn and run when you're out numbered. I continued to stare until I heard a snap of a twig. I looked around ready to run. Then a sword was flung at me, impaling itself in my tree next to my head. Shocked I stood still, too scared to even move. Once I realized my situation, I jumped out of my tree landing on my feet, and sprinted. I turned around and saw knights on horses. Great.. But they weren't regular knights, they looked way too different

"Hurry she's getting away!" one of them shouted

I heard shuffling and the trotting of horses as I sprinted to the village. I remembered I had powers so I whistled to make the forest come to my aid. The branches of many trees blocked the knights earning many satisfying groans of annoyance. Once I made it to the village I banged on doors and knocked over pans for someone to distract them. After a while the knights were able to catch up to me and corner me in a alley. I didn't say a word as we stared each other down.

The knights decided they were with staring and went to attack me when a old man that looked somewhere in his early 60's showed up. All the knights turned their heads towards the old man.

"I suggest you leave that little girl alone." he warned

"Oh please what's a old man like you gonna do to strong men like us?" one of the knights snorted

"You have been warned." the old man said

The knights lunged at the old man swords and all. I closed my eyes scared of what I would see. I heard many cracking of bones and cries of pain. When the sounds stopped I opened my eyes only to see the old man. I stared at him in disbelief as he walked to me with a warm smile on his face.

"Hello, young child, I'm Anthony. Where are your parents?" the man asked

More tears came out of my eyes. When I was younger a few knights came in and took them away, thus I was forced to run away and never saw them again.
"Oh you poor child, come with me." Anthony said
I followed Anthony through the village until we came across a small cottage at the edge of the village square. Anthony opened the door and stepped in, ushering me to follow him. As soon as I stepped in I felt warm and cozy, inside and out. I was caught in a daze until Anthony chuckled
"Its beautiful is it? This was my great grandfather's long ago. When I found out about this cottage, I couldn't bring myself to leave it here to rot. So I fixed it up myself and made it my home. Now how 'bout you go to the table and I'll be back with some food." Anthony said disappearing into the kitchen
