The sand and wind are singing, whistling, outside the white walls of Las Noches. Its high keening is heard by everyone, stirring the blood in their veins.

For the ten tattooed espada it sets their nerves on edge, the particles of sand hitting the fortress eating away at their nerves. The fraccion wait patiently, even more anxious than their masters as they await their orders.

For the five intruders it urges them on; the haunting sound following their footsteps as they race towards their goal.
The slight breeze tails them, guiding them ever deeper into the honeycomb maze, hoping to reach the centre and the princess waiting there.

For the three former captains of the Gotei 13, it predicts change, each of three interpreting it their own way.
The battle has begun; expect the unforseen and there will be no mercy.

And for the one, lone human girl, sitting alone in her room, it is something totally different. It carries a tune, a song missing its words yet somehow still imparting the message of being scared and isolated, confined and helpless in a strange land.

Quietly, she sings along with it, recounting how lonely it is to be stolen and locked away, how there is a little bit of her that still believes everything be all right.
