Alya smiled and nodded in response to Trix's invitation to her shop. But she decided to stay in the forest for a little while longer as Trix left. She and Echo watched at their new friends were obstructed by the trees. Alya liked making new friends, she hadn't had the chance to do so due to her somewhat sheltered life in the Surly Stump. But now things were changing, for the better. Not only did she make another friend, but also one who knew magic like she did. Although it was different from hers, she was happy to know that there were other people like her. 

As the setting sun's rays filtered through the forest canopy, Alya's blissful music softly echoed throughout. Perhaps she would meet more people through her music? Perhaps more 'Mages' like her. Who knows.
