    Summary

    Echoing through the open space, ricocheting off the nearby buildings and filling the air. Rys froze, listening. It was unlike anything he’d ever heard before. A haunting sound that rose and fell, sonorous then soft, swiftly rising and then a lull before the inevitable fall. Looping and swooping, gathering strength then falling back. It gripped his chest in a vice, and Rys found it hard to breathe. It seemed impossible that a sound could render him incapable of movement, and then—

    The sound changed, again and again, rising higher and faster, and Rys could feel his pulse race in time and he feared the inevitable conclusion and then it just… fell. Limply. Like a wail.

    Like a lament.

    And Rys realized he was crying.

    In which Corrie Guard Rys discovers orchestral music, and is never quite the same again.
