#anahi-beautiful like a flower-WHAT A PRETTY NAME!

[hunting-songs]

The bonfire turned the night a warm orange, while the cup of tea pleasantly warmed the blonde's hands. He had a blanket over his shoulders to protect himself a little more from the cold while his eyes glowed in an orange color enhanced by the fire in front of him "Kurta legend says that young Anahi was an unattractive girl, but she had a beautiful voice with which she made the people happy by singing. Even the birds stopped their singing to listen to her and the river calmed its wild waters. At the arrival of spring, a dangerous tribe arrived at the place to fight with the Kurtas. In the dispute, Anahi saw to die her brother and her father. Then, the girl fought bravely. They say that the enemies could not capture her easily and decided to use leather strips to tie her up. She spent days and days crying. Until, one moonless night, the girl took advantage of the fact that a guard was sleeping to escape. She crossed the jungle, but soon the guard woke up and found her. The young woman and the sentry fought until Anahi stabbed him. The girl was unable to escape from other guards, who tied her up to a tree and sentenced her to die. They lit a bonfire around the tree, and Anahi began to sing. Her sweet melody made the fire protect her. At dawn, they found a new tree with red flowers and thorny branches. This is how Ceibo came to be, our representative flower"

There was a slight pause as Kurapika drank some of the tea and he smiled softly then "But of course, that's just a legend"

The bonfire had been put up by the mansions gardners to burn the cut branches and after the workday the rest of the staff had joined in the evening with food and drinks like moths drawn to flames. They had sat down a little farer away from the fire on the metalgardenstools that felt harder and colder than usual with the night sneaking up on them as well as the coldness creeping up toes and feet and biting into skin with icy sharp teeth. Boundled up in blankets Senritsu leaned over the armrest of her chair towards Kurapika, peering with to thin slits squinted eyes at the botanic drawings inside the book that even with her eyes narrowed still looked blurry without her glasses as if she was looking at through a layer of rushing water.

"What a pity its a legend, though-", Coyly the woman placed a small hand on her cheek, posing dramatically and fluttering her lashes at the other too theatralically to be serious: "Considering my splending looks", She chuckled quietly, shaking her head over her own silly joke before continueing more honestly: "- and singing voice, I like Anahi. Its good to have a fellow musician finally beeing a hero in stories, even if its a tragic hero. Its music to my ears." The staffmembers by the fire laughed and their voices mixed witht he fresh clinking of the cold air, Kurapikas calm and relaxed heartbeat and the humming noise of Senritsus small smile.

"My horrible humor aside- Its a beautiful story and it shows how easily history and legends can weave into another." Tilting her head from one side to another like a thoughtful bird, Senritsu thought about similar stories she had heard in songs from other secluded groups she had seeked out for research: " It was probably a rival tribe that forced your people originally into hiding and out of fear they stayed hidden. And singing is a traditional way of communicating over long distances to Anahi could very likely been a woman during this conflict that used her voice to warn her clanmembers before danger. I had researched about singing beeing used for communication before for the Yorkshin university but in that case it was specifically yodelling. "She tapped a short finger against the illustration in the book; the red of the ink of the flowers in the book shimmered like rubys in the bonfires light: " I know this flowers, though. My mother always made the caravan stop, when she saw such a tree planted along streets for decorations. Mhmmmm, I think she used the trees bark to treat rheumatic pains in my groups older members and the leafs for salves against inflamed injuries. Did your family used them for this in Lukso, too?"
