Vixonia smiles serenely as she walks onto the stage and comes to a stop directly beneath the spotlight. She stands for a moment as the flowing silks from her skirts and veil flutter to stillness and she gazes out into the audience.

(Vixonia raises a delicate zurna to her lips and she starts to play a lilting series of notes that lift up to ripple and flow through the air like waves of desert heat.)

(Allye's fingers tap lightly over the surface of her tapani as a second spotlight gradually brightens to reveal her form, seated at one corner of the stage. The rhythm provides a gentle accompaniment to the ethereal melody.)

(Allye raises her voice to sing, and her wordless tune rings haunting and clear. The vocalization sways in parallel to the sound of Vixonia's zurna, echoing a sense of wide open and desolate places.)

(Vixonia trills at Allye as she lowers her instrument letting her voice take over the dulcet timbre of the music as it resounds through the room. Carefully setting the instrument down in the center of the spotlight on its fluted bell, she starts to sway to the exotic overtones of Allye's voice.)

(Vixonia raises her arms delicately over her head as her bare feet start to tap out a slow and sultry rhythm on the stage floor. The arch and flow of her body as she sways back and forth are emphasized by the soft flow of her silken garments as she moves into a leisurely turn.)

Allye smiles as the rhythm of her tapani falls into a matched cadence with Vixonia's feet. She inhales smoothly before closing her eyes to sing a rich, breathy verse.

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "She floats before me a gleaming, distant mirage,
   Beckoning and shrouded in golden sands aloft,
   Swept to dance by lonely winds."

(Vixonia's delicate form sedately continues to twirl and float across the stage, the warm glow of the moving spotlight accenting her sparkling jewels and the delicate wisp of her silks as she slowly twirls and leaps.)

Vixonia slowly pulls her dance veil free as she turns in a slow circle.

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "My weary feet grow light and fleet, step by step,
   In nearing her.  The sky alight in fervent sunset
   Over my darling desert bloom."

(Vixonia's feet move lightly across the floor as she pirouettes across the floor, her veil fluttering high above her head. The soft patter of her toes on the floorboards matches the driving rhythm of Allye's tapani, her entire body swaying to the alluring beat as she dances.)

In one sinuous motion, Vixonia arches her back and kicks high, then executes a little leap, landing catlike in a jingle of toe bells.

Allye longingly sings in a soprano voice:

  "The jewel of Velaka, sparkling and bright,
   Glittering beneath the devoted sun's watchful eye.
   Can you hear her call?
   She whispers to me even now,
   A soft sibilance of shifting sands and heady heat."

(Vixonia's eyes sparkle as she grins and leans to the side to look right, then left, before she twirls off in a colorful whirl of flowing silk as she flicks her wrist dramatically which causes her dance veil to billow and twist behind her.)

(Vixonia sweeps around the open space, dancing from toe to toe in beguiling and graceful movements as her silks seem to sweep and flow behind her, ever trying to catch up with her endless motion and boundless energy. Releasing the veil, she lets it flutter and flow until it settles gently onto the stage.)

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "And at last she appears, silvery spires piercing purple skies,
   Glistening in the starswept auroral haze.  She waits for me,
   And I return to her as always I return."

(Vixonia dances to the center of the stage and pauses her back to you as her body continues to undulate to the dulcet tones of Allye's voice. Leaning over she plucks the instrument from where it rests at her feet and brings it to her lips and starts to play once more.)

(Vixonia blends the soft notes of the zurna for the chorus of the song, countering with subtle and exotic harmonies as the song calls delicately to you. Raising to the toes of one foot, she draws the other around her and spins around to face you letting the silks of her skirt swirl around her from the sudden movement.)

Allye longingly sings in a soprano voice:

  "The jewel of Velaka, sparkling and bright,
   Glittering beneath the devoted sun's watchful eye.
   Can you hear her call?
   She whispers to me even now,
   A soft sibilance of shifting sands and heady heat."

(Allye stills and bows her head, as the sound of her fingers tapping the soft hide of her tapani gently falls away.)

(Vixonia sinks to her knees in a pool of her skirts as the final clear notes of her zurna ring through the air and then fade into silence, the final spotlight dimming and plunging the stage into darkness.)
