There are stories in the world of children going missing all over, sometimes true sometimes fairy tale. But this story seems to gather attention as time goes on. Children whom find their hearts suffering for one cause or another, feeling unloved or less than they are, faintly hear sounds coming from the shadows of trees...

The story goes, should the child try to find the source, they seem to lose more focus and become more and more enchanted, seeing what they call, colored notes in the air with the lyrics and hymns. Before, they find the source, a figure in forest colored robes, a lovely feather in her wide brimmed hat obscuring their face and the colored notes appearing all around them. They say it is perhaps a woman, a fairy, or something unknown all together. But all in all, the children who try to retell this tale, say for the most part that 'she' takes them somewhere else where things just feel, so happy and loving...

These stories come from the word of mouth of those who vanished for a time, not really recalling anything that can be collaborated besides the figure and her song. Some say they find themselves in floating lights within a forest, rolling through the under tide with the sweetest of aquatic beasts, drifting with the laughter of fairies all around them..

This is the case however, when children return, in a few rare cases, it is the stories of adults who in their youth for years or longer had vanished. But, these details all are perfectly in sync with one another. They refuse to let the thought of anyone capturing or harming the 'Pipetress' for this act, they all came back filled with renewed love of life and trying to spread it to anyone they can and are quite generous...

Is this 'Pipetress' as the children have called her, the ones whom return, a villain, or heroine. Of this, only those who hear the story can decide...

Obviously, a reference of the Pied Piper, but I honestly just crafted this without any idea or intent and after their design this is what came to mind really. And to note for those whom know my style. I only realized I buggered up had the wrong line length during the works, by the time i realized it, was pretty much the final bit of coloring so I said, 'bugger it' heh ^>^'
