"Sing, one key..."
Hinura pondered the meaning of these runes from her vantage point in the corner. It could be a riddle. Hadn't Bird said something aboutriddles earlier. It didn't matter now, Bird wasn't here, and riddles had never been one of her great strengths. She prefered to think in straight lines, not around corners
Thoughtfully, Hinura looked at her harp. Perhaps it was meant to be taken literally with a song as the key to something. It was an intriging idea, and worth a try.
Hinura rose slowly from the corner- she seemed to be spending alot of time hiding in corners since arriving here, she thought ruefully. Taking slow cautious steps towards the statue, she knelt down and gently ran her fingers over the moon runes. After a moment of studying the runes, she bowed her head and began to sing in a soft, low voice, so as not to attract the attention of any of the castle's inhabitants nearby:

Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò
Ill ù ill ò cha d'fhuair mi 'n cadal
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò

'S ann air madainn mhoich Di Dòmhnaich
Dh'òrdaich mi bhi aig a' bhaile

Far am bitheadh na frolaigean sunndach
'S fir 'gan rùsgadh dol a shabaid

'Illean a chaidil an oidhche
Bithibh taingeil anns a' mhadainn

Mise seo a' dìreadh chrann
'S sibhse 'tarraing srann fon phlaididh

Nuair a théid mi Bhràigh na h-Aibhneadh
Bidh mo chuimhn' air oidhche Shathuirn'

Looking up again, Hinura looked around to see if her song had had any effect.
