Hope was sitting down on the warm grass of the Glade, with her violin on hand. After having her meal at the Estate, she was allowed to go out. She took a deep breath, and started to play the violin. The melody was straining a bit, but then it became a soothing melody.
<br><br>
The sound filled her ears and around the glade. Hope didn’t hear anything else but the sound of the beautiful song her violin was playing. For days, she was practicing this melody and was happy when she finally got the notes right. Her hair moved when the soft wind blew, and it felt quite good.

Wandering around the island to sightsee and familiarise himself with the landscape, Enfys smiled as he enjoyed the soft breeze and the smell of fresh air. He had only arrived some time before, and while a few friendly villagers gave him directions towards the village, he decided to do a little exploring himself. The day was fine, good for enjoying the nature, he reasoned.

Walking aimlessly upon the grassy knolls and soft plains of the Glade, Enfys was thoroughly relaxed, content with the soft embrace of mother nature. Then, he heard something. It was the sound of a violin, playing a melody that he was unfamiliar with. It was quite soothing, flowing harmoniously with the peaceful environment. Surprised, but pleasantly so, Enfys looked around for the source of the music. He followed the sound of the instrument through the gentle wind, and after a moment found the person that was playing.

Long golden hair moving gently with the flowing wind, Enfys found the young violinist that was playing her instrument. She looked perhaps no more than sixteen, maybe even younger, and that was what impressed Enfys. To be able to play so finely at such a young age was rare, and so the new arrival decided to not interrupt her yet, content in just listening to the melody of the musical piece.

Hope was at the last part of the moment, and when she finished the song, she finally opened her eyes to see a man, who looked a bit older than her, watching her. Her cheeks flushed a bright pink, a bit flattered and embarrassed. She managed to smile and place her violin down on her lap. She waved also.
<br><br>
“Uh… I noticed you were watching me play… how was it? Was it good to your ears?” She asked curiously. She thought the melody was easy to her ears and it soothed her deeply. “…I’m Hope Estefani. It’s nice to meet you.”

Giving the young girl, Hope Estefani she called herself, a warm smile, Enfys nodded at the girl's question. "It was beautiful, I'm sure you'll be a great violinist one day." He put his luggage down and walked up to her, extending his hand in greeting. His eyes were twinkling in merriment, and his posture relaxed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, miss Estefani. I'm Enfys Alwyn Scrya, a new arrival to the island." Enfys nodded politely, then looked up at the cloudless blue sky with a gentle smile. "I was wandering, exploring, and heard the melody of your piece. I hope I'm not interrupting?"

Hope smiled warmly back at him when he complimented her on her playing the violin. It motivated her to keep playing more songs. She shook her head when he told her she could become a great pianist. “Oh no, I just play the violin for enjoyment. I’m going to become a doctor when I become older.” She then shook his hand and replied, “It’s nice to meet you Enfys. Hope you’ll enjoy it in the island; you’ll love it.”
<br><br>
He explained that he was wandering around the Glade until he heard her melody on the violin and hoped he didn’t disturb her. She shook her head. “No, it’s always nice if people hear. I’m glad you enjoyed my piece though. Thank you very much.”

Enfys was a bit surprised by her goal to be a doctor. He was certain, with how she seemed to enjoy playing her violin, that she would aim to grew up as a musician. Still, it was her goal, and he respected that. A doctor was an admirable occupation, after all. Giving her a friendly nod, Enfys smiled.

"I'm sure I'll be enjoying my stay here." He said, hand gliding in a half circle to indicate the views he saw. "This is a friendly island, and a peaceful place. I'm glad I chose to come here." Enfys smiled brightly at Hope, visibly relieved.

"And thank you, for letting me to enjoy your music. It was a very fine piece." He nodded, then a question came. "I haven't heard it anywhere before, did you composed it yourself?"

He was certain he would enjoy it here, and Hope knew he would. Ever since she came here when she was a bit ill, she finally felt a bit better now that she had breathed the clean air around here. Enfys thanked her for letting him listen to the beautiful sounds she made, and asked her if she had composed it, which made Hope nod with glee.
<br><br>
“Yes. At first it was pretty hard, but I tried my best. Now I’ve finally got it. I guess practice does make perfect,” she replied, giggling. “Are you surprised?”

To say he wasn't surprise would be an incorrect statement. However, Enfys was more impressed than surprised, and it showed through the acknowledging smile he had. "Yes, it's quite an impressive feat, to be able to compose so well at so young." His smile widened. "Like I said, you would make a great musician. I'm sure you would also make a great doctor, with this talent."

Breathing in the fresh air of the Glade, Enfys sat himself down gently onto the lush green grasses. The feel of the soft ground made him smile even brighter. He had always enjoyed the wonders of nature. "This is a nice place, does it have a name?"

“Thank you very much,” Hope replied, smiling gladly at him. He was very nice to her, just like the Mayor at the Estate. He was a bit surprised when he found out she was only fifteen and wanted to work as a maid, but he gave her the job nonetheless. Enfys sat down next to her and asked what the name of this beautiful place was.
<br><br>
“It’s called the Sapphire Glade; very beautiful and quiet here, isn’t it? It still feels like this even during the wintertime! Pretty nice don’t you think?”

Enfys smiled and nodded in agreement. This place does convey a sense of peacefulness and quietness. Perfectly harmonious, a place he'll no doubt come to love as he continued his stay on the island. Looking out towards the horizon, he was reminded of his home, back in Wales. The place was as beautiful and peaceful as here, and he wondered how everyone was doing. He shook his head lightly, this was his new home, a new start. He's a part of this island now, or at least he hope he would be able to blend in without problems.

"Sapphire Glade, a nice, fitting name." He commented, looking around. "It's as you say, a very nice place. You don't see such wonders of nature very often on Earth, at this age of technology. I find it great that this island still retained a close link with our planet."

This place was so beautiful, and Hope felt like she could stay here forever, just her and her polished violin. She would play this at home whenever she couldn’t go out due to her inhaling too much smoke outside the city. It made her feel at ease whenever she was lonely or sad. The violin was her comfort to happiness and pleasure.
<br><br>
“Yes, and it fits perfectly with the nature around here. I came here since I was very sick back in my home due to the pollution there. It was awful. I consider this my second home, but New York will always be my home.”

Ah, New York. Enfys had been to the metropolis once during his travelling, and so knew of what Hope meant with the smoke. It was one of the reasons why he didn't had much fond memories of the city, even with its various wonders. He had always preferred nature to technology, growing up at the rural countryside of Wales.

"I see, may your health be bettered at the islands, then. It's seems like a natural place, so it should be quite helpful to most sorts of illness." Enfys nodded, "I came from the countryside of Wales, and so I was used to and preferred the natural. My travelling had brought me to many different places, with very different cultures, but in the end I find this place the most enjoyable, even though I had only just arrived." He smiled fondly, remembering the various accidents and events that happened during his tour around the world.

Hope was surprised he had come from Wales. She heard it was a really beautiful place, since it was so green. She always England was a nice town, clock towers and all. She hoped to take a vacation there sometime when she became older, as she was too young to travel yet.
<br><br>
She smiled when he found that Obsidian was very beautiful and enjoyable. “I’m glad you do, I do hope you’ll settle down quickly and maybe start a family or your own farm. That’s usually everyone’s goal around here.” And she was right.

"Yes, I guess." Enfys nodded with a smile. Even though he had only arrived, he'll probably ended up as Hope had said, starting a family and farm. Of course, life was always full of surprises, and he was still young, so many things could happen. Enfys preferred not to be overly concerned with the future, what may come will come, he would just live with it and enjoy his life as best as he can. "There is still a long road ahead of me, and the future can often be uncertain. What you have said may happen to me, and it may not, but either way is fine with me."

He paused, taking another breath of fresh air. "No matter what happens, I'll enjoy the life set for me. I'll pursue my goals, and see where it takes me. It's life, and that is why it is precious." Chuckling slightly, Enfys shifted a bit to sit at a more comfortable position. "Look at me, talking nonsense. May I have a look at your violin?"
