"Let's see if she can sing or not." Queen Xobaria came to stand before Aurora. She gestured to her to sit down and then sat right before her as she commanded her to start singing once again.
Jelena and the other girls stood there baffled as they saw Aurora hesitating and the Queen encouraging her. It was one in a million days' sight to witness. Kiara, who was coming through the window as usual, halted as she saw Xobaria in the room. She cursed under her breath slowly. Mother Xobaria had to visit the same day she was late, what great luck she got! Slowly she sneaked her way in, trying not to alert anyone of her presence.
"Don't consider anyone else's presence here. Just you and me. Now go on," Xobaria whispered and placed a hand on Aurora's chest right above her heart.
Twisting her fingers, Aurora pulled a deep breath in and started repeating the lines of the same first song that she hasn't been able to master yet.
"Can you hear me?"
"I am your reward."
