A thousand melodies fluttered through her mind,
whirling around in the throbbing head, entwining her heart like questing tendrils

And all of a sudden, almost adventitious, a scarlet mist passed by and swam around the slight spirit, innocently shimmering and resolutely conquering the desolate, deserted place

And before she could realize what was happening, there was already an unbearable, inescapable emptiness.
