[A violin...I used to yearn for its melody, long for its wooden carvings on my thin stick-like fingers, my cold sweat running down my face, the beautiful symphony it played. I played so many instruments in my previous life, But I liked to play the violin most, I had a diary where I kept the music I composed like one in specific called...The Death of a butterfly...]
I could feel the violin on my chin and neck still. It made me remember sad moments and moments where I became broken for a while. Ah yes...I remember now...That beautiful tune that made me long for affection, it made me want to reach out to hold on, but she left me anyway...in her shadow of malice...
"Mother..!" I reached out trying to keep her with me, but she walked away in the shadows, she smiled still sly and malicious, I felt a stab in my heart as if my world would end if she left me. I clenched my heart and forgot to smile. I forgot to feel. it wasn't until I met Calista that I could express myself better. I wanted to meet up her expectations.
"Allea? Let's go! I'll read a book with you! that'll make you feel better!" I still have nightmares, dreams where she's smiling happily without doubt or evil in her eyes, but it later turns into a nightmare where she walks away not hearing my pleas. That piece described the sadness I went through in life. I thought, [I'm used to losing everything in my life... it definitely won't matter anymore, right?]
"Yes...I'm used to this now...I have only served as a tool to help others since the day of my birth." I murmured, I still remember Calista's tears as she smiled sadly, it's still fresh in my mind. I tried to distract myself from it but, it was to no avail.
"Charlotte? (Allea)"
My eyes widened in shock as I heard Khaled's sweet and worrisome words, I smiled with pain and he looked at me as if he were the one who was hurt. He grabbed my wrist and placed my hand on his cheek as he stood next to my bed, and sobbed as if he were the one who got hurt. "Khaled? What's wrong?"
"I-I-I'm sorry Char...I looked through your memories..."
"I'm sorry you had to see that...Khaled..." I caressed his face and brought his head close to my chest hugging him tightly as he cried and sobbed. It's been a few days since I've been having dreams like these. but I didn't know this was Khaled's doing. I didn't want him to see that part. No. I didn't want him to see any of this.
It wasn't my intention to make him cry.
[I simply wanted someone... here.]
"Sigh...Khaled promise that you won't mention this to anyone? not even to the doctors."
"But..! We could fix your broken soul now that we know about your situatio-"
I covered his mouth with one finger and smiled, shaking my head and he nodded, tears still streaming down his pale cheeks. [I know this isn't the time but he looks quite handsome when he cries like he's crying gold or something...] I pondered and shook my head, I brought his face down close to mine and kissed his forehead wiping the tears from his pale cheeks, and I smiled brightly, "Sometimes, People aren't always what they seem, Khaled." I laid back down on my comfortable bed and looked up at the ceiling.
[I wish I could be free...]
"Rowan, From now on I'd prefer if you asked the maids in the palace to avoid cleaning my room."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"I'd also like it if you prepared a room for an important guest." He said smiling shyly, his face became flushed and he averted his gaze to the moon that shone that night. She was gorgeous in the moonlight, and desire stirred his blood. He couldn't stop his desire for her, it was like an obsession, he hid this part of him from her just so that she could live comfortably but once she'd found out, she most likely will run away again.
A silver beam of moonlight walked toward the window, entering in pristine silence, igniting every corner. It was not enough to devour the darkness that had been residing in that room longer than he cared to admit, yet was enough for his eyes to bathe in it and momentarily expand his perception of his surroundings.
The moonlight shone like a searchlight for Charlotte, but although they could not find her by its silver beam, she knew if she followed it she was at least not travelling in circles, she had already seen Khaled off, as he worried endlessly for her good health. She had trouble convincing him and in the end, kicked him out by force and went to sleep with a bruise.
[I can still remember his uncovered chest, I have to admit. The author really knows their stuff. I think I will die happy now,] I thought for a minute and smiled, [I have seen too many beautiful men while living here. I think I can finally die happily...] I went to sleep happily and with a wide smile on my face, I felt like blood would come out both nostrils.
[I'm worried about charlotte...For her to be smiling even after all that happened in her past life...I feel like my pain is incomparable. Ah! That's right! I'll make her fall in love with me! then I'll marry her! Then I'll make her happy for the rest of her life so she never suffers or meets dirt!!] The blue-haired male skipped towards his room and started to make plans, unlike the Tyrant.
He started scribbling his ideas onto a sheet of paper, "Et ego faciam in contractus cum spiritu luminis," He repeated, at first nothing happened. He sat there unmoving and finally his shadow moved, as he did too. "Damn it! I messed up!!" He grabbed his hair frustrated.
"I'm going to- Ack!" suddenly a bright light appeared before khaled, he braced himself, covering his face with his arms, [damn it! have I done something wrong?] He waited until the light faded and looked in front of him to find a small creature as cute as a puppy and the color of lemons with green eyes like beads.
"Uh..." Khaled looked at the thing shocked and the creature pounced onto him as he staggered backwards in fear, the creature talked, [Human, Why is it that you've called me? Have you finally decided to depend on us for salvation instead of your useless god?] It spoke and he flinched and cleared his throat.
"You..! Are you the spirit of light?"
[Answer my question Human.]
The creature answered as it licked it's paw, it had the image of a cat yet the color of a lemon, he nervously cleared his throat, "ahem. Well, I still believe in god but that's not why I called you,"
[Oh well Good luck getting help Human]
"No! Wait! You! Do you have any way of fixing a broken soul?"
The creature stopped in it's tracks and looked back at the mage, its expression was serious and worrisome, [Human?]
"Y-Yes?"
[Is that person still alive?]
"Huh? Yes. She's actually still healthy and well." He stated tilting his head baffled by the spirit's question yet irritated as he only paid attention to the mage until he stated his business.
[Impossible..! A human with a broken soul should die immediately! Once the soul has been shattered, you can never fix it! that's when the human goes into deep sorrow and dies almost immediately.]
"Those were my thoughts too exactly. I've no idea how she's lived so long."
The small creature's thinking posture was almost adorable, [I am Calista, The Spirit of Light. Sorry for my unsightly form/body but, it's so I don't blind people with my beauty.]
The archmage flinched and held in his anger thinking, [it's for the sake of Charlotte! hold it in Khaled! She's just here to help!] He cried in the corner where nobody sees, and the creature tilted its head taking a look at the mage as they snickered, "pft..!"
[this spirit is too arrogant and cocky! CHARLOTTE!!!]
"Achoo..!"
[I must be catching a cold. I should be more careful nowadays...Yep.]
