 ==== 5-2 ====
+The moment she leapt free from the water,\\
+She felt the waves stirred by pearls of laughter.\\
+Mirages of her friends shimmered and faded,\\
+And songs of joy rang out from the shore just as she had wished.
+Dux Fragoris sliced the dromas flank with a time-worn edge.\\
+Dux Brumalis cast an icy chalice, steaming with the breath of frost.\\
+Dux Helkolithist brimmed her vessel with honey brew,\\
+While Dux Carminum unfurled a scroll of new verse.
+//<color #993333>"At last you have arrived, our belated musician."</color>//[(Spoken by Aglaea.)]
+The Goldweaver's silver needles hover in the air,\\
+Weaving beautiful outfits for her.\\
+Helektra accepts the gift that does not exist,\\
+As salty water wets her new attire.

+She knows this is not reality.\\
+Just like the world she loves,\\
+Mere foam in the sea of stars.
+//<color #993333>"Even so..."</color>//[(Spoken by Hysilens.)]
+She drank down the aurora lights in the cup,\\
+As intoxication flew from her fingers into music and song.
+In the drunkenness granted by her mother,\\
+In the dreams granted by that drunkenness,\\
+{{ :readable:saga:wave-strumming.knight:hysilens5-3.png?200|}}
+In the feast granted by that dream...

+Now sober,\\
+She begins one last song.

 ==== 5-4 ====
+The musician plucks her strings in the spring,\\
+And the waltzing hem stirs the water into waves,\\
+Revealing memories in throngs.
+She sings of the once-awakened Titan,\\
+How the princess accompanied the queen to swim in azure waves.
+She sings of the confident and dashing monarch,\\
+Of loyal knights who marched with the Imperator to seize the solemn states.
+She sang of the one destined by heaven's will,\\
+Of demigods who bore a thousand years of watch for the hero.
+She sang of that little gray fry,\\
+And how the Gladius defended the deliverer from apocalypse's storms.
+She sang of herself,\\
+A cup made of fish bones,\\
+Ever waiting for someone to banish the nihility within,\\
+Pouring the honey brew of fate for her to the brim.

+She sang until her voice turned hoarse,\\
+And the spirit water she held was no more.
+The honey brew ran out, the final notes dispersed.\\
+And the feast of fantasy shattered in turn.\\
+Before the deadly quiet seashore,\\
+She gave one final smile, then faded into sea foam —
+//<color #993333>"To the fish from beyond the sky,\\
+We shall sink into the past."</color>//
+For she had glimpsed the sky beyond the cave,\\
+{{ :readable:saga:wave-strumming.knight:hysilens5-5.png?200|}}
+And chose to believe in the promised future,\\
+Embracing a hope as fragile as mist.
+//<color #993333>"You must carry the new sun,\\
+And swim toward the distant horizon."</color>//
