As they got closer to the source of the music they began to be able to make out the words that were being sung.

"Who are those little girls in pain

Just trapped in a castle on the dark side of the moon

Twelve of them shinning bright in vain

Like flowers that blossom just once in years

They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love

Just dreaming of a place where ther free as doves

They've never been allowed to love in the cursed cage

It's only I fairy tales they believe"

When they reached their destination they stood there at the edge of a small clearing and listened tell the song ended and the one who was singing it stopped, and looked up at them.

In the clearing was a small stump, and on that stump stood a girl, whom looked only to be about two, maybe three years of age. She had soft, pale skin, long, gold-red hair, that flowed past her thighs, and dark, red-brown eyes. She was wearing only a white dress with dark blue ribbons encircling most of her body which held the dress tightly to her skin, which even though the dress looked like it could fit a porcelain doll it still fit loosely on her.

The other things they noticed as the young girl stared at them were the small light-blue orbs of light were floating gently through the air around the girl, and the gentleness and fierceness with which swirled and mix in the young girls eyes as she stared at them.

Sapphire took a step back, the girl's glaring was making her feel nervious, though she didn't understand why. "Umm…" she said trying to think of something to say to the young girl. "Why were you singing? I don't mean that as an insult! We just want know why." she asked as she tried and failed to hide how nervous the girls glaring made her.

"I was singing to these wandering souls, though most people call them Willow-the-Wisps." She replied in her soothing voice, as the fierceness melted from her eyes, and she started to relax. "So, who are you two?"

Sapphire took several steps back and fell over a bush with a splash, now she new the girl was weird, not only had she been singing in a dangerous forest but she had been singing to ghosts.

Magixs wasn't surprised, so when Sapphire fell she said, "This is Sapphire, kupo." then she flew into the clearing towards the young girl.

"Sapphire. I am Fin." The girl said to the woman whom had fallen into a small stream, as she sat down on her stump, folding her legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs, and resting her chin on her knees.

Sapphire was able to get up, though her bottom hurt and her clothes were now soaked, when she saw Magix flying near the girl Fin, she realized that Magix and the girl had not introduced themselves to each other. "Hey, Magix, do you know her?"

"I have met many people throughout my life, Fin is one of them, though I haven't seen her in a few years." Magix said as she turned back to Sapphire. This didn't surprise Sapphire so much considering how strange the moogle herself appeared to be, it also got her into wanting to know how the two have met a few years ago even though Fin didn't look very old.

"So, why are you two here?" Fin asked.

"Oh, well, I was just coming here to explore the forest." Sapphire said, still a little confused at the situation.

"Kupo, I was following Sapphire to find out who was singing." Magix finished.

"Well are you two busy, now?" Fin asked.

"I guess not, why?" Sapphire responded.

"I was going to head to Alexandria today, but I hurt my leg earlier and won't be able to get there without some assistance. Would you please help me?" she explained.

"Sure, why not." Sapphire and Magix agreed at the same time.

"Thanks." Fin said cheerfully, as she revealed the most beautiful smile Sapphire had ever seen.

Even though Sapphire didn't like the idea to much, she ended up carrying Fin piggy-back, as they started towards a trail that lead up the mountain, to the city of Alexandria. A few of the Willow-the-Wisps followed them tell they reached the trail.

--

"So what were you planning on doing when you got to Alexandria?" Sapphire asked trying to start up a conversation. She didn't like how quite it was getting, it made her nervous.

"I was headed there to see Tantalus perform." Fin replied.

"Tantalus, who are they?" Sapphire wondered aloud.

"They're an infamous band of thieves, but they are also magnificent actors." Fin informed her.

"Oh, sounds interesting. Can we come?" Sapphire questioned.

"I only have two tickets, one for Magix and one for me." Fin replied.

"Oh, that's too bad. I guess I'll just have to wait outside for you." Sapphire said, as she breathed an inward sigh of relief that she would be able to get away from these two before she went insane from the strange things they did, and planned her trip back to her village.

And so, they continued onward to Alexandria.
