The woman in the pub answered Sunders' question, much to Sennefer's surprise, "Rules? We do. Though it remains to be seen whether you are an honest customer."

Her alluring voice caused Sunders to space out for a moment. But he recovered soon enough. He raised a hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger, and released a puff of glittering sand into the air, which was carried away by a sudden gust of wind.

The "shiny dust" was blown to a far cliff where people couldn't see. There, a woman with a fine body curve appeared and caught Sunders' "gift" in her hand.

"Nice quality. Taken from the Scorched Forest from level 6? Heh. He's a brave one."

She stepped to the edge of the cliff and scattered the sand below, into an endless ocean.

The calm water responded to her with calm tides.

Seeing this, the woman began humming her song with a gentle look. It was a song of endless remembrance.
