Scene 109
Although I had never played bagpipes before, the music came from them easily, almost as if they were playing themselves. My fingers flew over the notes as I played, seemingly guided by the Pipes to do what I wished.
The Chancellor laughed in triumph, as he thought he had won, convincing me to use the Pipes to bend the worlds to my will.
The Pleaters all watched in horror as their efforts had all come to nothing. They watched as I succumbed to the temptation of molding all of existence to my picture of perfection.
Or so they all thought. Only one, the female Pleater dressed in leather, with the pink-tipped hair, listened intently to the music I played. Her eyes widened in amazement as she recognized the tune I played. She smiled in delight at my song.
One by one, the other Pleaters began to recognize the song as well. Hope filled their faces as they all realized what I was doing.
One final face, that of the Chancellor, now showed horror, as he recognized the song too. “No!” he screamed as he rushed forward to stop me, but the rippling waves of reality surrounding me threw him back.
The forces of reality swirled around me as things began to change as I played. The Pipes took my desires and molded all of existence to the pattern of my thoughts.
Everything began to change as I played The Song of Undoing!
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Japanese Proverb
