Round Play: Three Years Ago Lastihyt ; miquvy Wer shela -c-nixer arsa[edit]

It was a land covered endlessly by gravel that was a grey color similar to human bones.

The wind howled in a low, gloomy voice reminiscent of the wails of the dead. Blown by sudden gusts of wind, the gravel on the ground pelted skin. —It was a place that even travelers rarely visited, a wasteland where the influence of humans did not reach.


In the wasteland, a single woman with glossy black hair stood perfectly still.

On her shoulder was a jet-black lizard. The lizard was also as still as a rock, not making even the subtlest of movements.

—It was as if the two of them had been frozen.

An elderly man wearing a robe the color of yellow sand slowly walked closer to the woman, who motionlessly looked up at the sky.

“Greetings.”

The woman did not respond. She simply continued to gaze up at the sky.

She gazed beyond the shredded clouds that flowed overhead and beyond the dust-colored sky. She simply gazed fixedly at something above her.

“I have been searching for you.”

The elderly man greeted her a second time.

The woman did not respond.

“May I call you Evhemary?”

“…………”

The first thing to move was the lizard on her shoulder. It stared at the elderly man with a scowl, as if sizing up the value of his existence.

Then, after easily a few minutes had passed—

The woman slowly turned to face the elderly man.

“……Who are you?”

Hearing that question, the elderly man made a strange expression that seemed like he was both smiling and crying.

“—Lastihyt. You may call me that.”

He took something out of the pocket of his sandy-yellow robe.

Lying on his palm was a gemstone emitting a grey glow.

A gemstone? No.

It was ovular, a shape that the structure of a gemstone couldn’t form— It was something in the shape of an egg.

The strange gemstone emitted a silver-grey light.

“O Evhemary, Night Color Reciter. I would like to hear your song.”
