Sing a song like Lenny would

            Quest sang out into the sudden silence that filled the space. The echo of which resonated around him as power filled the Shipstone. She realized that sky had filled the windows and then she caught a glimpse of the airport shrinking away as they banked around. The plane turned away from the sea that she had been so sure they were going to cross and headed back inland.

            “Sing for me, my children.” The Freya said as Quest sang.

            Vanessa smiled- who wouldn’t like a plane that liked music?

            Quest stepped away from the stone, held out his had to her which she took by reaching out for it. She wondered if it was to steady him.

            “Di Loyw Chy Sim Eloi Hym.” Quest sung. His voice clear and deep like one of the Oak Ridge Boys.

            “Chy Sim, Chy Sim, Chy Sim.” The crews voices echoed. The tune of it pulled a memory loose in her head and from there she was not sure if what they sang was anything different than what she was hearing in her head.

“I want to fly like the Dragon out to the Sea,                                                                                                     Fly like the Dragon let your spirit come carry me!”

Then the crew sings:

“I want to fly like the Dragon- until we’re free                                                                                                                Aos, come and empower me.”

Vanessa was sure it was the same tune to another song she had heard a few years back- still it didn’t matter as the feelings of flight and freedom flooded her senses and she could imagine being on the back of a powerful Dragon flying away into the night sky.

Quest sang again:

            “I want to fly away into the sky, so very very high                                                                                                                                Just hear the Dragon’s cry.”

All sing:

            “We want to fly like the Dragon over the Sea                                                                                                             Fly like the Dragon- let its wings come carry me                                                                                                 Fly away until we’re free.

            We want to get away, we want to fly away-                                                                                                  Yeah, yeah, yeah…”

Michelle sings:

            “I want to fly above the trees, over the clouds and the seas                                                                                   go to the lands I would never see. If the Freya would just carry me?”

All sing:

            “We want to fly like the Dragon over the sea                                                                                                            Let the Freya make us free                                                                                                                                  we want to soar away, flying until the break of day.”

Quest sings:

            “Dey Low Chi Sim Eloi “

Then the sound fades away and Quest and the crew fall silent. The song still floating in her head.

            “Wow.” Vanessa breathed.

            “I know.” The Freya said. “That is my favorite song.”
