Chapitre 104: Jenna the Singer
Jenna's entrance was relatively unremarkable, considering Valeria had ascended from the sky and Anaïse had hovered in on a crystal clear hover pod.
Under the bright lights of the Space Amphitheater, a black pod took her to the round glass platform and hovered as the elegant cat stepped out and onto the stage.
Jenna walked to the center of the platform, wearing a long sleek gown that went to the floor and continued behind her, trailing in a fairly long train.
The gown itself was not that remarkable, as far as the cut of it was concerned. It was, however, a chameleon fabric.
Where Jenna had black spots, the dress also showed the black spots. Where she was golden, it was also golden.
The effect was as if she wore nothing although she was completely covered in fabric from the top of her neckline all the way down to the shiny black high heels on her feet.
On her head was a small tiara. A small microphone was affixed to the tiara, capturing every sound and breath she made.
"Good morning, everyone!" Her husky feminine voice sounded out from the speakers planted everywhere in the Space Amphitheater.
"I am so excited to be here today. I wanted to take a few moments to thank you all for being here and sharing this beautiful space with me today."
The visuals zoomed in on Jenna's black-rimmed up-slanted green cat eyes and her button nose and small mouth. Her beauty was legendary
The crowd cheered and stamped their feet. It was so rare to hear an Avgo Female actually speaking directly with them that they were loving this unique aspect of Jenna's performance.
Jenna smiled.
"I don't have anything fancy or colorful to share with you today. All I have is a simple song that I wrote especially for this Avgo Event, and I want to share with you."
She laughed. It was a rich melodious sound that was like a sensual instrument getting warmed up.
The crowd laughed along with her. If she laughed so beautifully, they could hardly wait to hear her singing voice.
"I don't even have a band to back me up but I'm going to do my best because this song is dedicated to each and every single one of you."
The crowd AWWWWED, touched by her simple and honest straightforward way of connecting with them. Then, they quieted down to listen to her.
Jenna took a deep breath.
The crowd hushed, straining to hear.
A soft sound began to emanate from her throat. It was low-pitched but most definitely very feminine.
As her voice strengthened in volume and strength, the pitch began to rise.
The melodious sound of her voice meandered through all the jazz notes with unerring accuracy until it rose higher and higher, reaching out towards a pitch that was almost unreal.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! The crowd reacted to the sound.
"When evening falls from the realm of lights
And the hoot owl sounds its lonely flight
Through misty fog and gossamer skies
I think of you, my Edelweiss…"
Jenna's voice floated up, a cappella and unadorned.
It needed no adornment. Her tone was so pure and elegant that it struck the hearts of everyone who was there.
"When dreams unfurl like silken lace
And scattered on the winds of fate,
It changed and bloomed with gentle grace
When I first looked upon your face…" **
As she continued to sing, her simple lyrics fused with her melodic voice, changed into poetry infused with the power of a voice that was so magical, it needed nothing.
It simply existed on its own, shining with its own clarity and light.
Lorem Ipsum stood in his hover pod with tears in his eyes. He understood exactly what Jenna was doing because he too had been gifted with the magic of vocal evocation. They just used it in different ways.
He moved the audience with his spoken words and his oration and she moved the audience with her lyrics and singing voice. They were both tapped into the same magic muse.
Jenna's voice continued, soaring into the space contained within the Amphitheater.
As she sang, her arms opened wide, embracing the audience sitting in their seats. Embracing all the viewers across the galaxy who were watching their virtual screens.
Her voice rivaled that of the best singers throughout the galaxy but she was far, far above them. She was no mere singer. She was an Avgo Princess who was reaching out to become their Empress.
The crowd wept to the sweet sound of her voice and sighed with heartfelt emotions at the evocative lyrical words.
Even Candi's eyes welled up as she listened to Jenna's singing.
"Shhhhh…darling. No crying before the Event." Dante cooed as he carefully dabbed a handkerchief to the corners of her eyes.
"I'm not crying. She just has such an amazing voice that I can't help respond to it."
"Yes, but we can't have you looking like a raccoon about to go out there and perform for the entire galaxy to see."
He blew on her eyes to dry her tears and then dropped a kiss on her brow.
"You have to go up next, so we need to get you into place." He gave her a steady look. "Are you ready?"
Candi nodded.
"Let's go then." Dante smiled and took her hand.
They had exactly five minutes between the end of Jenna's performance and the start of Candi's.
Although he could see that Candi wanted to hear the end of Jenna's performance, he had to get her to the pod so she would not be late for her own performance.
As they walked down to the entranceway leading into the central field, he made several hand waves of what seemed to be random gestures but were actually commands.
The double doors opened, revealing a gold hover pod waiting at the doorway. It was ready to take her to the center platform.
He opened the pod door for her and stood, holding her hand.
"In you go, Darling. Stay inside the pod until the old goat calls out your name. Don't emerge too early or your magnificent entrance will be spoiled."
He leaned in closer and pressed a kiss onto her hand.
"Remember, you are The Queen, no matter what happens."
She nodded with a nervous smile and squeezed his hands one last time before stepping into the pod.
As the pod door closed, Dante sighed.
"Good luck." He whispered to himself. "My love…"
