Chapter 120 - Endymeon's Trill Sonata 3: The Moon

"Let's get going now, shall we?". Herald asks Muruem as he's holding the door open.

It was time to head towards the Central Theatre.

On the road.

Herald. "I didn't ask you what kind of plays does he perform?"

Muruem. "Hmmm..Classical! I've went to watch him once, it was quite weird sometimes the play takes a sudden turn but overall it was fun!'

Herald. "Sudden turns in term of the plot or what exactly?"

Muruem. "Hmmm...I don't know how to explain it.

They start performing weird dances and poses and the music becomes a bit sinister..."

Herald. "Hmm post-modern art mixed with classical! I haven't seen that before..."

Muruem. "Everything has a first time."

They have arrived, Herald parks the car a bit far from the theatre as it was pretty crowded in there.

"Damn! I didn't expect this many people to come, I'm glad they're still interested in this form of Art."

Muruem. "I told you he's pretty famous, even if his style isn't mainstream.

Maybe because of his looks i don't know."

Herald looks at Muruem. "Are you saying you like how he looks?"

Muruem laughs and hits him on the shoulder.

"Stop it!"

After entering to the hall, they searched for their seats then sat on them.

Muruem. "We're lucky to have these special tickets, we got the best view!"

Herald. "Yeah true, I hope there won't be any delay though..."

After about 10minutes, the lights were shut down.

The music started, and the entry scene followed, signaling the start of the play!

The first part starts with an interesting setting,

The lights were focused solely on the background which creates a starry night type of atmosphere,

The ground was full of plants as if it was a green open land!

There, a man of great beauty layed down on his back with his eyes fully open towards the moon!

His dialogue starts.

"...How many nights shall i sleep with my eyes awake,

for I have known that your light shines darker than black!

When will you set me free?

So i can meet me inside of my memory..."

The one playing this role was of course Endymeon, his eloquent and smooth pronounciation is certainly to be admired.

He continues. "I have been captured by you during the day,

just to wait for you during the night.

Will you please visit me again?

To just bring back my missed delight."

Suddenly, descended from the heavens an angel!

No! Not an angel, just an angelic woman...Dressed all in white, to match her bright skin color.

Her brownish fluffy hair floated as if it was what made her fly so casually in the air.

"I heard you called for me again...My lover Endymion!

Have you not ceased your request yet?"

She layed down next to him, mind you that the moment she descended, the night suddenly became darker than black, but only she was so bright! As if she was the moon itself.

Endymion replies. "Selene!

Why would your love be this cruel? Yet I can never reject it because I know it is so true!"

So her name is Selene. Her voice is so smooth that it can put a sick child into sleep.

"I am aware of my selfishness, but how can I stop myself from admiring you when you were the first to admire me?"

Endymion. "I am but a shepherd, yet I carry the love of a Goddess!

A weight that stoped me from moving, aging and sleeping, please tell me when will it do so for my breathing?"

Selene chooses to answer with her hand, as she passed it on his face so gently...

Then on his eyes!

The moment she removed her hand, his eyes were closed...

Suddenly, she starts sobbing!

"I have...killed a little of my love, for you to taste sleep once again!!

Only your love will wake you up again!

Only then...I can't feel the guilt of us being away."

Selene gets back towards the sky, and the sky again regained it's light.

The first part of the play is over!

Everbody claps his hands as hard as they can.

Muruem says excitedly. "Did you like it??"

Herald. "Yes it's good so far, there are many classical elements in this.

I wonder from where it's inspired. It sounds like it's an old roman's tale or something!"

Muruem. "We'll ask Endymeon when the play is over, but I knew you will like it."

Suddenly, Ether contacts his partner.

"We need to talk, now!"

Herald. "Now? Why? Did something happen where you are?"

Ether. "No...Something happened where you are!"

Herald is a bit confused.

"No..Everything here is normal! Even the play is...."

'Wait a minute...Moon Goddess!!

Could it be....'

Ether. "I warn you, don't use your powers now...What you'll see will terrify you and destroy our plans!

Find a way to get out now."

Herald gets up. "I need to use the toilet."

Muruem. "Hm? Toilet?"

Herald. "Yes, I'll be right back."

Muruem. "O..Okey...Don't be late the second part will start about 3minutes from now!"

As Herald moved towards the door, he stopped at the last moment...

His curiousity got the best of him!

'I need to see it myself...'

He opened his third eye...

Herald's facial expression after that was enough to tell the terror he experienced.

Without any second thoughts, he starts running...Running back toward his woman!

'Why...Why do i feel that time is so slow...

Muruem!

Murueeeeemmmmm!!!!!!'
