Hey,
@Louanne Learning. I have a question.
If memory serves, you have characters play a violin, specifically Olive's song. I've always wondered what the act of playing really meant, story-wise. What happens to someone who plays the violin? Or have you not quite decided yet?
If you haven't, then I have a suggestion. Those who play the violin see Myrto and Eirini's story through the song. They come to understand the past, its importance, and how Olive/Sophia and Melina are the incarnations of those two. They come to understand what the battle really is about.
It would make sense. Arthur learns the "truth" with it, and he plays the violin in front of the monks to show them the same past. If you are fine with that, then I think it would make a lot of sense to go with that.
By the way, I have yet to uncover Olive's past, her song and that mysterious person. I will do that at some point, but the backstory did more or less confirm that Eirini had a strong association with music and melody. It's easy to deduct that music became a big part of her reincarnated self's childhood too.
Here is another interesting fact. I genuinely can't remember if I picked Melina's name to be of Greek origin on purpose, or if it was a strange coincidence. The Southern Peninsula is based in ancient Greece (in case that wasn't obvious enough by all the names), but either way, their incarnations are appropriately named.
I did hint Olive's origins from the start though. Cyan clothing, named after the most prominent tree in that country, all the sunny imagery of her memories. I love making hints that are so obvious yet not so much at the same time, only for that to change later.
I also keep saying Olive, but her real name is Sophia. Old habits break hard.
