WanderingSong sits down and plays Her sithar skillfully and weaves a melody of longing and loneliness about the camp. Her rich contralto begins to sing....

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the Land of the Wagon People
a black clad man travels the plains, 
heart-sore and foot-weary
foot-sore and heart-weary

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the Land of the Wagon People
he comes to the Camp of the Tuchuks
he finds welcome for his prowess
he finds surcease for his pain

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the Land of the Wagon People
a kijira serves in the Camp of the Tuchuks
redsilk of the camp and the trainer of others
she longs to find the Master of her body
she longs to find the Master of her heart

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the camp of the Tuchuks
Gado, the man, sees rose, the redsilk kijira
as she approached him to see to His needs
her service eased the needs of His body
her grace eased the soreness of His heart

WanderingSong's voice pauses as the music begins to change.. no longer calling up loneliness and despair.. the melody weaves a joyous one.. She sings again...

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the camp of the Tuchuks
on a beautiful sunny day
Loch the Ubar called the lovely rose to Him
He lifted the ko`lar of the camp from her
she looked up at Him
her heart at her now empty throat
her eyes a mixture of fear and hope

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the camp of the Tuchuks
on a beautiful sunny day
Loch turned to Gado, now a member of his camp
Eyes looking deep into those of His Brother,
His smile wide on his face, 
He gave this kijira away
He gave this kijira away

Far to the south of the City of Turia, 
in the camp of the Tuchuks
on a beautiful sunny day
Gado looked down at rose before him
her eyes tugged at His heartstrings
her smile filled Him with joy
around her neck He placed his ko`lar
around her heart He placed His love

Far to the south of the City of Turia,
in the Land of the Wagon People
in the camp of the Tuchuks
on a beautiful sunny day
Two hearts, no longer lonely
Travel with the camp, away

WanderingSong's hand stills Her sithar and She bows to the two newly-joined, "May you always travel the Way of Love together as happy as Y/you are this day."
