I could really use a wish right now...

Moments would pass. The voice that drew him to the caverns did not completely cease its song. It was as if his mother were actually here, whispering her sweet song to him. He stared at the ground, wondering if it was just a trick of his mind or whether this was real. Alacritis so far, seemed to be full of mysteries. This one in particular, was the only mystery to truly draw something out of him. His parents were dead, killed in some cruel accident of fate. His sister had been taken away by a couple who feared that she would end up in the same predicament. His older brother, gone without a trace. Didn't even care about what happened to their mother and father. And Drake? He left on his own to find a permanent home so that his sister could live with him. With a shuddering breath, he swallowed back the constriction that threatened to choke him. He closed his eyes once more, soaking in the last remnants of his mothers lost song. Black lined ears would twitch back, hearing something intermingle with the sorrowed song of his mother. From his position, he turned to look back towards the entrance. To see where the other melody was coming from. It sounded surreal to him, beautiful yet haunting. Aqua eyes sought out the figure hiding in the shadows, here white pelt outlined by the shadows. He moved to face her direction, wiping away the tears with his paw before doing so. As he tried to collect himself, he would swallow back his emotions and face her. "S-sorry miss...you've a beautiful voice...my name is Drake, just wandered here...I guess the caverns are playin' tricks on my ears." He didn't mean to speak nonsense. Though he supposed he needed a distraction, something to pull him away from the haunting lyrics that pulled at him. He sniffed once, hoping that his voice wouldn't cave in the next round of talking.
