You Can Shine

She was clear to see at the side of the street near the mall, still busy despite the sun setting some time ago. She was glowing softly, as Morgana did after sunset, and her voice filled the air. This was a gift Morgana had discovered not that long ago, and after seeing some street performers Morgana had gotten the idea of gathering savings through the same method. And here she was, singing the most generic pop songs you heard on every radio channel with a flamboyant, feminine voice that could be suited for opera. These were the only songs Morgana knew, she spent hours on end in one certain coffee store listening to and memorizing songs that played from the radio.

Many people slowed down or stopped entirely to listen to Morgana sing, but she saw none of that. Her eyes were closed, and her hands were on her chest, feeling the vibrations her voice created as she sang out. Morgana enjoyed this with her whole being, singing like this was a feeling that felt painfully familiar, it always did. The first time Morgana sang was centuries ago, and that was simplistic tribal songs of the young planet she had resided by. But now she sang words, the lyrics had meanings, and yet all Morgana could hear was melody and sound.

A decent amount of money had filled the big handbag Morgana had found abandoned on an alley way. After cleaning it up Morgana had seen it would fit this purpose perfectly. And after she finished singing Ed Sheeran's Perfect Morgana opened her eyes was was greeted with an applause from the small audience she had gathered. She blinked in slight surprise, smiled and curtsied, saying words of gratitude to everyone before they dispersed.
Morgana went and checked on the bag. There was almost 200$ in there, and Morgana nodded approvingly. With this she could buy shoes. Morgana didn't feel cold and it didn't affect her, but it would be nice to walk where bare feet weren't appropriate.

Morgana moved her eyes to the woman who still remained, not moving along with the crowd. And as she moved closer and praised her voice Morgana returned the woman's smile, delighted that someone enjoyed her singing as much as Morgana herself enjoyed it.
"You have my thanks. I am delighted my voice is able to bring you joy."
Morgana did another small curtsy, just for the woman, and then proceeded to blink a bit in confusion and surprise when she asked if Morgana sang professionally.
"That I do not. In fact, I must confess I had not even considered such a possibility an option."
Morgana had started this singing as a way of earning some pocket money, she had not believed she could actually live from it.

At the woman's words Morgana tilted her head ever so slightly, she only knew the bare essentials of the society on the island, and she did not know of any talent agencies or competitions. Morgana did feel grateful the woman was giving her advice, even if she did not understand it.
"I am afraid I do not have any knowledge of these things you speak of. Could I inquire for you to elaborate on these...talent agencies, and there are such things as singing competitions?"
Because even if Morgana didn't know what those were she knew what singers and celebrities were. They were the people who sang in the radio, and they were able to support themselves with the art if singing. Morgana would've been lying if she said that didn't interest her.

Thankfully Morgana was aware of how little she actually knew about society, and she was willing to learn and hear more. Thanks to that Morgana didn't get too overwhelmed, as the woman explained to her about singing competitions and further talent agencies. Morgana was still confused, but she listened intently and tried to memorize everything the woman said.
"'Tis all verily useful information. But I must admit that it all sounds quite complicated. I'm afraid my knowledge of this society is still limited."
Morgana sound apologetic, just when this kind woman was willing to help her she lacked the capabilities to understand what exactly she meant.
"If thee could be so kind as to elaborate further. Where can I find this talent agency?"
