Preparation
Letters were flowing around on the sheet, and formed a grey mass. Eovina tried in vain to concentrate. She lifted up her eyes irritated when she heard the voice of her youngest daughter Thaliwen.
"Mother? Are you still here?", she said.
Eovina smiled up at Thaliwen, while she tried to hide the nerves. She did not answer the question, but took time for a little chat with her daughter.
"Good luck at the concert tonight. See you there!" Thaliwen gave her mother a quick hug, and ran playfully away.
Eovina sat for a while engrossed in her own thoughts. The concert was tonight, and she still had trouble remembering the text on the two new songs. Again she rehearsed both songs, but had to look at the sheet constantly.
She sighed deeply as she looked right through the playlist again. Everything was ready now. Fireworks, dancing steps, and even her harp was polished. This concert was a little different than the previous ones. She would sing three songs. But the lyrics were a little bit tricky to remember by heart.
Everything will go well, she thought, and she smiled as she thought of her little family.
Thaliwen has grown up to be a little beauty. So like Amorith in many ways. They both love to read and study. They have the same glow in the eyes. And Aranthalion ... It will be good to have him around tonight. My beloved Aran. Eovina stood up suddenly, and stretched her slender arms above her head.
"No, now I need a break.", she said to herself, and walked with quick steps over to the paddock to catch her dear white stallion Wanja.
