In your best estimation, it's worth about 1,000,000 silvers. n/a From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the ocarina is an instrument of a type unknown to you. n/a The item seems well constructed and resonates in response to your song indicating that it is in tune. n/a As your voice rises in song, the melody calls to the ocarina, its hum deepening in response. Slowly, your surroundings blur, and the vision unfolds - a small coastal shrine emerges in the haze. Inside, a woman lies restless on a simple cot, her body thrashing against unseen forces. Her brow is slick with sweat, and her limbs jerk as if in battle with something only she can sense. Shadows stretch and twist along the walls, echoing her torment, reflections of a mind caught in the grip of nightmares. Her face twists in anguish as her slumber plagues her. As your song fades, the ocarina stills in your hand, and your vision clears, returning you to the present. Bard's voice rises in song, and he appears momentarily lost in its melody. Your voice takes hold of the ocarina once more. Its resonant tone begins to vibrate in harmony with your voice, and a windswept coastline forms before your eyes. A priestess walks alone, her feet leaving light impressions in the sand, her gaze distant, but drawn toward the horizon. Among the retreating tide, something gleams - a perfect nautilus shell. She stoops to collect it, cradling it in her hands as though it holds the wisdom of ages. Her fingers trace its spiral with reverence, the curves like a sacred path she must follow. As the final note of your verse falls, the ocarina's sound ebbs and the scene dissolves, returning you to the present moment. Bard continues his song as a gentle susurration of a distant ocean wave mingles with the melody. Your voice takes on a haunting quality as you continue to sing, the ocarina responding in kind. The world around you shimmers, and soon you are in the heart of a dimly lit shrine. A priestess kneels before an altar bathed in sapphire light, her form frail and gaunt, the weight of her struggles evident. Her lips move in whispered prayer, her face tense with determination and desperation. Sweat beads along her brow, the air thick with her pleas. A sudden, pale light envelops her, and an eerie melody, separate from your own, fills the room. Her head tilts upward, her tear-streaked face softening as though soothed by the divine. As the vision dims, the ocarina quiets, and your surroundings return to normal. Bard's song modulates into a minor key, taking on a haunting quality. Your song takes a gentler tone, coaxing another vision from the ocarina's depths. This time, you find yourself in a quiet room. A priestess sits at a table, her hands working delicately over a nautilus shell. With careful precision, she carves into its surface, shaping it into a small ocarina, much like the one you now hold. The room is filled with the soft sound of sanding and polishing as she refines her creation, and when she raises it to her lips, the music she plays is haunting, otherworldly. The notes seem to echo from the depths of the sea, reverberating through the quiet air. As your song fades, the ocarina grows still, and your vision clears, leaving you once again in the present. The melody of Bard's song reverts to a gentler sound, but it carries an otherwordly tone. A deeper, more commanding tone enters your voice, and the ocarina thrums with intensity. Your vision blurs, and soon you find yourself in a dense, foggy forest. A priestess stands at the forefront of a small group of armed warriors, her face set with steely determination. She raises an ocarina to her lips and blows a clear, resonant note. From the mist, a serpent-like creature materializes, a lantern dangling from its coiled form. Its eyes widen in shock, but before it can react, the warriors rush forward, their blades cutting through the creature with ruthless efficiency. As the scene dissolves, the ocarina's stills and the vision fades, leaving you in silence once more. Bard's voice intensifies, and a look of concern appears across his face as he remains adrift in his performance. Blending with your song, the song of the ocarina softens into a mournful dirge, guiding you into another vision. You are back in the shrine, now cloaked in the stillness of night. A priestess lies on her cot, eyes closed, seemingly at peace. But from the shadows, figures stir, moving silently toward her. Without warning, they strike, their movements swift and merciless. The life drains from her body as her ocarina slips from her hand, its song silenced. Her spirit begins to rise, drifting away from the scene of her demise. The final notes of your verse fade, and the ocarina grows still once more as the vision releases its grip on you. A second melody, completely independent from Bard's voice, weaves its way into his song and carries a dirge-like quality. As your voice touches upon the ocarina, it seems to tremble with emotional anticipation. Humming, it pulls your mind's eye forward, and an aerial vision of a small shrine comes into view. The priestess's spirit hovers in the air, suspended between the worlds of the living and the dead. Voices clash violently around her - one voice demands damnation, while another pleads for solace. The arguments spiral, gaining no ground as the priestess's spirit wavers. Just as the tension reaches its peak, a powerful force pulls her upward, toward the aurora-lit sky, her fate seemingly decided by an unseen hand. As your voice quiets, the ocarina falls silent, and the scene fades, returning you to the present. The vibrato in Bard's voice thickens, and his song weighs heavy on your ears with emotion. Your voice reaches outward, and the ocarina trembles as a scene slips into your vision. You find yourself in a shadowy, tangled forest. The priestess's spirit, now changed and twisted by the realm of the dead, roams the dark woods, her form barely recognizable. She walks deeper into the mist, vanishing into a grove of ancient fiddlehead ferns, her figure dissolving into the gloom. Her presence fades, leaving only the rustling of leaves and the silence of the forgotten. Moments later, the hollow and ethereal sound of the ocarina fills the air. As the last note of your song dies, the ocarina stills, and your vision returns to the quiet of the present. Bard's song comes to an end, and for just a moment, there is utter silence. A soft rustling of leaves seems to pull him back to the present. Your voice rises in song, but nothing more comes to mind. Bard's voice rises in song.
