NAYRU CALIBUR

STAND UP WHEN IT'S ALL CRASHING DOWN

Nayru was born during a warm Summer evening on the 17th, with the moon at its fullest. Her mother, Ariana, was at the young age of 16 when she had given birth to the silver haired child. Due to being so young, Ariana was unable to care for her new born daughter, no matter how much she wanted to raise her. And so, she had Nayru taken under the care of her new family, the Calibur's. The silver haired female grew up happily in Kardia, as the younger sister of Alexander Calibur, who was training to become a soldier at the time. While in school, the young girl discovered her talent for singing, and with the help of her adoptive parents, she took vocal lessons to develop her voice even further.

Everything seemed to be falling into place for Nayru, until tragedy crashed down on her like a tidal wave. At age 13, she had received word from her brother that her parents were killed by monsters while outside of town. It devastated the poor girl to the core, but this didn't stop her from achieving her dreams as a singer. A few years later, Alexander had finally decided to tell Nayru that she was adopted, a fact that her parents never had the chance to mention. It surprised the girl, as well as it made her question why they never told her. She pondered the thought, but quickly let it slip away, putting herself in her parents' shoes and began to understand why they never said anything. She felt proud to have a family who loved her like she was one of them, and not once did she question it again.

Over time, Nayru and Alex became closer as siblings, and were completely inseparable. Things were still rough, but it was starting to get better despite having lost a mother and father. A year later, the day had come for Alexander to leave the for army. Nayru was heartbroken to see him go, but gave him the brightest smile as she watched him depart via airship. However, two weeks after his departure, he was reported missing. Nayru was left alone in the world, leaving nobody to rely or depend of except for herself.

Now at the age of 19, the silver haired female has become more independent and self-reliant. Having recently moved to Selphia after her brother's disappearance, she is more determined than ever to follow her dreams as a singer, and refuses to let anything or anyone get in her way.


Nayru had the rest of the day off from work after a coworker took her shift, and so she decided to spend her free time with the children from the local orphanage. Having been a volunteer there for at least a year, the silver haired female had grown attached to the youngsters as well as the people who watched over them. One of the staff members of the orphanage was a family friend of her parents, and so she kept in touch with that individual after they passed away. Being around the children gave Nayru hope, not feeling as lonely as she usually did.
As a special treat for the kids, she decided to take them to the park for them to have fresh air, and strapped over her shoulder was a guitar in which she had brought with her from back home. She had planned to sing for them, since they seemed to enjoy it thoroughly, and was hoping to surprise them with the first song she sang to them when she first arrived at the orphanage. One of the boys in the large group, Oliver was his name, noticed that they had stopped by the fountain in the center of the town square, and tugged at Nayru's skirt lightly.

"Miss Nayru? Why did we stop?" He asked timidly, earning a smile from the older female.

"Well, we walked quite a ways, so I figured we'd stop here and rest. That, and I have a special treat for you guys." She giggled gently, earning a bright smile from a little girl named Lily.

"You're going to sing for us, right? Is that why you brought your guitar?" This made Nayru blush and look down with a laugh.

"Was it really that obvious?" She teased, causing the group of children to cheer happily as she removed the guitar from across her shoulder and sat on the edge of the fountain, while the group sat around her, bright eyes and smiles lighting up their faces.

"I hope you all will remember this song. It's been my favorite for the longest time." She said simply with a sweet smile, tuning the guitar strings to get it at the right notes. After a few moments, she finally began to play, her ocean blue eyes closing as she swayed from side to side slightly as the melody made her forget her surroundings. She felt at ease, soon parting her lips to begin singing.

"If they take my hand, Wll it be to burn me or to say 'amen'? We beckon so we can make amends, And with the same flip of the hand we curse our friends.

And where it's all a blur, you are the hard line. In the disorder, you are the peace sign."

Her voice was soft and gentle, soothing to the ear as the children swayed to the beat. The music seemed to catch some attention from the tourists and townsfolk, yet the silver haired female was clearly unaware of the gathering crowd.

"I really wanted to know, If my fears did it all to lead me astray. But when the truth hides itself, I'll follow you wherever you want to go.

And where it's all a blur, you are the hard line. In the disorder, you are the peace sign.

And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind. And in the disorder, you are the peace sign."

The gentle melody of the guitar continued, a smile creasing the girl's face as she glanced down at the children who watched her in admiration. Just watching them hear her sing brought her joy, and she wouldn't have had it any other way.

"I can't tell if they're laughing at me or with me. All these hints and subtleties got me on my knees, Begging for serenity.

And where it's all a blur, you are the hard line. In the disorder, you are the peace sign.

And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind. And in the disorder, you are the peace sign.

And in the disorder, you are the peace sign. In the disorder, you are the peace sign."

With those last few words and few notes of the strings, the song ended, and the children cheered for her which caused her face to heat up with a shy smile. She finally realized that others were around and her face grew even more red, standing on her feet and bowed to the crowd politely. Well... That was embarrassing, she thought.
