| 7.56 | “Barelle the [Bard] has agreed to perform for the restaurant. Is the [Tumbler] going to do her performance?” |
| 7.56 | “I present: Barelle the [Bard]! Who has graciously agreed to give us a performance! He will be putting on Ten Comedies of Terandria, his own work!” |
| 7.56 | Barelle the [Bard] spoke and Ryoka felt a tingle run down her spine. Now there was a voice. |
| 7.56 | Both as guests of the city and performers. Barelle the [Bard] was one such. He got a laugh from the Players for his copy of how they addressed their audience. And he had a lyre. |
| 7.56 | Barelle’s lyre was a modification of the standard, seven-stringed lyre. And while Numbtongue might have vouched that his guitar was an advancement of one of the older instruments—they both had the same origin in how they were made. |
| 7.56 | Yet Barelle’s lyre had fourteen strings. Seven were the regular ones, delicately strung, possibly Pegasus hair or some perfect material along the work of art that was his lyre. But seven more lay behind the ordinary seven. |
| 7.56 | Each one was a different color. Each one glowed. And when Barelle plucked the one shining like ivory, the sound it made— |
| 7.56 | That sound—was not normal. It had no chord Ryoka could place. It was eerie, higher-pitched. But Barelle played—one ivory note, five mortal chords. |
| 7.56 | Everyone nodded at that. Barelle went on. |
| 7.56 | Andel spoke up. There was a laugh; Ryoka felt like kicking the [Writer]. But Barelle chuckled along. |
| 7.56 | Now this was entertainment! Two thirds of the room immediately drifted over. Including Xrn. She looked back at Ryoka and nodded to Barelle as if to say—‘see? This is what I meant.’ |
| 7.56 | Ryoka got it. Barelle looked across the room. He smiled— |
| 7.56 | Every head began to turn. And the [Innkeeper], who had been relaxing next to Grev and Jasi and Wesle, suddenly stiffened again. Barelle was looking at her. He played a fourth note. This one pulsed like midnight, and the air darkened. Like that of a stage in itself. |
| 7.56 | His eyes flickered. Ryoka started. But Barelle continued without missing a beat. |
| 7.56 | Erin Solstice heard a roaring sound in her ears. She saw Barelle, in a shroud of…mist? Speaking. And people were looking at her. Applauding…Erin didn’t hear it. |
