Music fills Confidence. Song fairies match notes to accomplishments and sing ballads. Dawn and dusk glow. Luminescent beings dance in the jungle Confidence strong and strong-hearted. Crocodiles lurk. River dolphins rise and spin.
Confidencians do not like to leave their land for the song fairies won’t follow them outside the bounds of the jungle where they lose their powers of flight. Without the accompaniment of song, the denizens of Confidence lose confidence.
Visitors to Confidence receive flower crowns and necklaces. A song fairy guides them through the jungle.
“Confidencians are fabulous musicians. It appears they can play any instrument,” says Miss Doe Friend.
“The fairies led us to Confidence Cave deep in the jungle where the music thrummed against the interior dripping with water and vines.”
The riverboat Agency glides down green Confidence River, connecting the river lands. Adventurous travelers called Riverians attempt to complete the Quest of the Riverlands and visit each land. There are 100 river lands and fewer than 100 Riverians although their number grows with each passing year. Now some of them try to visit each a second time to keep their record and status.
Confidence musicians play on Agency. The captain and crew of the riverboat maintain it and serve the passengers. They dine together on jungle fruits. After dark, they sip Confidence liquor and listen to the night song.
