"Remember, Arya, the song is only as evil as you make it. Listen, now, child, to this song..."

The wise woman's words fill Arya, weaving through her body as the hums of the village come to her ears. Had she heard this tune before? Had they played this for her when she danced in the moonlight and the fire?

When she danced, she danced not with herself, but she was there. Their bodies slide together as the song holds her, keeps her safe, presses her up against it, and whipsers the tune into her ear.

Arya hums the song, letting her recollection drown out the flashes of bad memory. She may be stuck to these zip ties, forgotten by the friends who had been struck by her hypnotic gaze--a potent weapon nurtured by her Uncle. She hates that is what she became, but that hate disappears as she continues her humming. She pushes herself up to some semblance of a sitting position, and she glances at the two women, the first of which is the horse, Star.

Star sits in the corner of her room, watching her anime and hugging her pillow close. Her closest friends had abandoned her, calling her a geek and a freak. She should have cared more about what they thought, but she didn't. She didn't need them, she just needed what made her feel good, and what made her feel good were her heroes and heroines from her favorite stories. Each of them, men and women, had wonderful bodies. How could her friends think they were just kid stuff?

I doesn't matter what they think. Because Star knows she's going to become beautiful, powerful, and desirable. That's why she joined the sports teams, despite being unfit at first. That's why she ran every morning, day and night. That's why she spent her free time not improving her body delving deeper into the worlds of her fantasy.

"You really seem to like yourself," the internet chat says. "And you don't care what others think, despite coming on here seeking a good time. Maybe you should join this society I'm a part of. Here's a link."

Star is about to join when a soft humming hits her in the back of the ear. She looks over her shoulder, only to gasp at the sight she sees before her. Divine beauty, pure and simple, dancing to the beat of the song. It reaches out for the mare, and pulls her in close. She hugs it dearly, burying her face into the busom of this loving goddess.

Star's smile grows as she leans back on the tile of the bathing room, panting, with tears rolling down her eyes as she smiles.

"Hey...!' Arya hisses. "Over here!"

Star blinks, looking down at Arya with a puzzled gasp. She looks this way and that, not recognizing where, or who, she is for a moment. But she soon crawls over towards Arya, producing a knife.

She cuts the snake free, shaking her head and whispering to her. "I have no fucking... no fucking idea what you did, but could you do more?"

Arya slithers up, placing her hands upon Star's shoulders. She continues her humming, and the horse closes her eyes, leaning back into the ethereal arms of the transcendental lover. It stroked over her body and nuzzled her, letting her know that everything was going to be okay. What she did wasn't wrong. The direction her life took is but one of many avenues, and only this one led her here, to this very moment.

Arya grabs a hold of Uma, shaking her and whispering. "Please... Uma... wake up. You're much worse off than her. I dont know what my stare will do to you..."

Uma still stares upwards, her nonsense speech now making more sense to the snake. It's a harmony to the song, her evil song, her Uncle's song. Sighing, Arya begins to chant the healing song once more, curling her tail around the rat's body and holding her in close.

She looks over towards Star, who pulls her legs in close to her chest, sighing as she nestles her cheeks upon her knee. "I miss you guys, sometimes," she says, "But then I wouldn't have Mouse, if you hadn't left me... made me an outcast."

Arya shudders. Who knows exactly what her stare, her song, does to them, but when she worries, she thinks again of the time she experienced it for the first time, dancing among it in the starlight. She takes a deep breath, and pulls herself up, taking Mouse along with her. "Uma... Mouse, whoever you choose to be. Just, turn off your bombs,m alright? That's all you have to do. You can... you can choose the life you want. I was stupid to suggest that it's wrong, just because I don't want it. People have their own lives all the time, as long as they aren't hurting one."

Uma blinks, looking at her a moment, befure she giggles and rolls her eyes back once more, humming the evil song louder.

"DAmmit!" Arya curses, singing loudly into the rat's ear. She then begins to move to the beat, dancing with her in spirit and in body, her tail urging the somnambulist along as she makes the motions go.

And after a few bars of the dance, Uma's hands clasp onto Arya's sides, and she begins to dance with her friend, her eyes focusing on Arya, her smile becoming less ethereal, more real, and aimed directly at her.
