Luke grinned, bowing to his mentor before then bowing to the crowd and walking off stage. He jogged over to Faye and ruffled her hair before picking up a stool for her to sit on and putting it center stage for her. "Break a leg, Faye!" He whispered encouragingly.

<sub>"Thanks, Luke," Faye responded with a grin, acoustic guitar slung over one shoulder. Rykon turned back to the crowed. "Next, we have fourth former, Faye Nanette!"

The young fledgling strode proudly from the wings, head for the stool even as Rykon strode of stage. She settled herself on the seat, resting the instrument on one knee. She strung a few chords, testing the instrument's sound, before she began. Faye took a deep breath and allowed herself to sing; her voice was an angelic sound, a gentle, pleasing, perfect sound. Faye's voice was blessed by Nyx, so it was fitting that her voice was beautiful.

"Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons."

After the first verse, the guitar's playing began, gentle and smooth at first.

"If this is to end in fire
Then we shall all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side.

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My brothers will die
And as the sky's falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze

I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side."</sub>

Reese sat with wide eyes as she watched Faye sing. Her hand absently rested against Jax's while she watched her best friend in awe.

(On phone, short)

_{Faye grinned, standing and bowing slightly. "Thanks," she said, turning to stride off the stage proudly.}

[Goldie]

"Woo!" Reese cheered. A few acts later, Reese looked over at Jax. "If you wanna leave you can. I don't know any of these fledglings anyways."
