Each night, when Hesper can manage to sneak out, the two friends share their thoughts and dreams as they sky-bounce through the skymounts and across the spongy ground of the Alula plane. But Tristan is already shunned by his kind - the Mantaurs - so he has no one to share the information with anyway. Hesper hears these voices, though she is afraid to admit it to anyone except her best friend Tristan, for fear that she will be shunned. Though I cannot understand what they say, I feel a strange sadness whenever I listen, for the voices are like the last pleas for hope sent by hopeless souls."
Slowly they speak, their hushed whispers arising softly from nowhere, drifting back and forth, in and out of nothingness. "Sometimes, when the sweet night air is gentle and quiet enough, I can hear the voices.
