She washed up on the unpredictable shores of the Island. Her name and past were gone like the monstrous storm that had nearly drowned her the night before. Gone- save for the cryptic verse on the scroll that materialized beside her:"Her old name is goneAlong with her fameNo longer to light the Fallen ones'Darkness and shameUnto this island, unto you she's been givenTo remember, to rediscover life in the LivingTo this island she belongs nowThis gem of the seaGone is the oldHer name is Melody"The past frightens her.And the future?To save a gentle people she had grown to love.
