Chapter 269: Unexpected Advantages
Irwin woke to a soft ambient song, and it took him a moment to figure out what he was hearing.
Right, my new heartcard!
He sat upright, swinging his legs from the couch and looking around. Ambraz stood on the table before him, yawning widely.
"Fina... ly... woke up?" the Ganvil asked, yawing and fluttering his wings before flying to Irwin's shoulder.
Irwin nodded, quietly listening to the beautiful sounds all around him. He faintly recalled hearing them before he fell asleep, but he'd been too distracted then. It somehow reminded him of the forest around New Malorin, the rustling of the leaves, the chirping of the birds, and the movement of branches… but at the same time, not at all like that. Instead, he heard faint chimes, a soft howling like the violin Skylar hadn't wanted to play, and what reminded him of bells- all of it soft and intermingled to create a beautiful background sound. Even the soft groaning of the ship seemed to perfectly fit it.
"It's beautiful," Irwin said, sighing as he looked around at the thin mist that hung in places of the room and tiny ripples of soulforce everywhere. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen all of it before.
"Yeah, it's not bad," Ambraz said. "You will get used to it, though, but it can still surprise you. Now… how about we look at how well we succeeded?"
Irwin grunted in agreement as he rose and found his booklet stuffed below one of his closets. He placed it on the table, and Ambraz landed on it, causing the familiar flash.
Still, it's a shame I can't get the card details just like the songs, Irwin thought as he opened the booklet to the newly filled-in page.
