"Miresa?" Lyri asked, snapping the young auburn haired girl from the book she was reading.
"What is it, Mother?" Miresa asked as she set the book back on the shelf.
"I have a gift for you--consider it a reward for your high grades in school." Lyri replied as she offered Miresa an ornate light green box decorated in gold swirls.
Miresa studied the box for a moment--the instrument maker in town always packaged his instruments in boxes like these. But what instrument she got was her most urgent question. "May I open it?"
"Of course." Lyri watched as Miresa carefully opened the box and lifted a tiny gold flute from the magia infused wrapping. After noticing there was a book of songs in the box as well, Miresa took that, thumbed to the tune "The Jolly Dragoon", gently touched the mouthpiece to her lips--and blew a loud squawk rather than the high, singing tone whistles were known for.
