Werewolf's Planet, Werewolf Empire Capital, Music Theatre, 12:00
Nana dressed in thin but clean white dress, this dress was bought by her ex-boyfriend with two months salary, this dress was supposed to be her wedding dress, this dress made Nana shine on the stage like a famous star.
She held on her beloved guitar, this guitar was bought by her father as a Christmas gift in her seven years old, this guitar had been her accompany in the journey of youth, this guitar was not just a guitar, but also it was her music dream.
She put her pale and slender fingers on the guitar strings, her fingers stroke the stings, danced on the strings, and performed the Journey of Youth. She stood in the spotlight, her flashback came with melody, came up the surface of her consciousness, and played like movie scene in her mind.
Nana played the guitar, singing the Journey of Youth to the audiences. In the journey of youth, there were sweetness and bitterness. She concentrated on the sweetness inside her heart, each sweet moment made her feel like smiling. She concentrated on the bitterness inside her heart, each bitter moment made her feel like weeping.
Morgana closed her eyes, listening to Nana singing. Nana's song remnded her of the fragrant sea. As if she was in the fragrant sea, turning into a butterfly that lived but only seven summer days. Such seven summer days she could fill with more delight than seventy common centuries could ever contain.
William closed his eyes, listening to Nana singing. Nana's song reminded him of the night street. In the night street, there were many buskers who performed their music, and entertained the passers-by. Some passers-by would pay for their music, and each dollar of passers-by's donation would support their music dreams.
Morgana opened her eyes, looking unto the boxy stage with the view of the stars, where Nana was the brightest star in the galaxy. She gazed at the stage, her gaze gentle as autumn lake reflected the stars into her view, her gaze peaceful as tranquil surface reflected the brightest star on the stage.
"Thank you for sharing your song. The journey of youth would be filled with sweetness and bitterness. Each sweet moment would be the accompany in the empty moment. Each bitter moment would make us stronger. The journey of youth would be tough but romantic. We are always in the journey of youth with no ideas what future might hold and where this journey might lead to us. Good luck to you. Your score would be 9.99."
Morgana rated Nana a high score, looking unto Nana. Her appreciation would make Nana rise overnight, and Nana's rise would be a hope to those buskers. What she wanted was to bring a hope to those buskers who held with music dream, struggling in the bottom of society, looking forward to the stars.
'Life is always too hard, and the harder is the busker's life. They hold with music dream, struggling in the bottom of society, looking forward to the stars. In this harsh winter, chilled wind couldn't fade their passion for music, and pale snow couldn't bury their music dream. What I could do for them is to bring them a hope.'
William opened his eyes, looking unto the boxy stage with the view of the stars, where Nana in white dress shone like the brightest star in the galaxy. He witnessed many buskers performing music in the night street. He knew Nana was one of them who performed music in the night street, entertaining the passers-by.
"Thank you for sharing your song. In the journey of youth, life might be tough and hard. We shall smile upon all challenges that we passed through, and we could move on with faith. Good luck to you. Your score would be 9.97."
William witnessed many buskers who held with music dream, struggling in the bottom of the society, looking forward to the stars. He witnessed many brilliant musicians who stood on the stage, performing their music, entertaining the audiences. He witnessed Nana who sang on the stage, going to rise like a rising star in the galaxy.
'In any corner of the Capital of Music, passers-by would be entertained by the buskers. They hold with music dream, struggling in the gutters, looking forward to the stars. What I could do is to give them a chance to pursue music dream.'
Morgana dressed in white gown with intricate pattern and gold lace, this dress was thin but warm. She looked at Nana in thin but clean white dress. She understood how cold she would feel, and how hard the busker's life would be.
"The average score would be your final score. Your final score would be 9.98. It's so cold in the outside. A pair of gloves would warm your hands. A huge coat would warm your body. We shall take care of ourselves, and keep us warm. Remember to buy a pair of gloves and a huge coat and take care of yourself."
Morgana whispered, telling Nana to buy a pair of gloves and a huge coat and take care of herself. She offered her little care, this little care warm as hot sunshine that could melt winter snow, this little care warm as bonfire that could keep her from chillness, this little warm as huge coat that could warm her body and heart.
'A pair of gloves would keep the hands warm. A huge coat would keep the body warm. A little care would keep the heart warm. In this harsh winter, we shall take care of ourselves, and offer little care to warm this others. If everyone offered a little bit of care to each other, the world would be as warm as hot spring.'
Nana was surprised that the queen would care about her. She was just one of buskers who held with music dream, struggling in the bottom of society, looking forward to the stars. Nobody would ever care about her in this vast and cold capital. A little bit of care would warm her heart, and make her feel like weeping.
"Thank your for your listening, appreciation and care. It's you who offers me a chance to stand on this stage. It's you who offers me a chance to make my music be heard by the world. It's you who offers me care to warm my heart. I would buy a pair of gloves and a huge coat. Thank you for everything."
Nana felt like weeping, expressing her gratitude. She bowed to the queen, president and the audiences with lady-like manner. She stood on the stage that she had been dreaming for so long, looking upon the audiences. A mist in her eyes blurred her view, blurring the lights, the audiences and the sight.
'I wept, because I looked back the path of the pursuit of music dream that was filled with difficulties and bitterness. I wept, because I finally stepped on this stage that I had been dreaming for so long. I wept, because nobody would ever care about me in this vast and cold capital, but I was touched by this little but warm care.'
Morgana hadn't experienced what Nana experienced, but she could share the same the feelings. In the journey of youth, everyone would have sweetness and bitterness, and sweetness would always come after bitterness. She enjoyed her song, admired her talent, and understood her feelings.
"Congratulations! You have won Music Contest. This is one of the greatest stage for musicians. Your music would be heard, and your name would be known by the world. It's a beautiful future. Hold on your music dream, carry on the journey of the pursuit of music dream. You'll be proud of yourself one day. I promise you."
Morgana whispered, looking unto the boxy stage with the view of the stars, where Nana was the brightest star in the galaxy. She saw a future famous star in Nana who was going to rise like a rising star from this stage. She just offered her a chance to rise, and Nana took the chance, going to rise from this stage.
'I just offered her a chance to rise, but it doesn't mean she could make it. Everyone has the equal right of the pursuit of happiness, but it doesn't mean everyone would live a happy life. If we got a dream, we shall protect it, pursue it and achieve it.'
Nana stood on the stage, looking upon the audiences. She was one of them who held with music dream, struggling in the bottom of society, looking forward to the stars. She shared the same experience with them, and understood how hard the busker's life would be and what they wanted most.
"Thank you for everything. I'm just one of you who held with passion for music, ambition of being a recognized musician, and came to the Capital of Music. I wanted to be a recognized musician, but I ended up of being a waitress. I'm just blessed with little luck by the Goddess. I'm glad that I have become recognized musician. I don't know who you are, but I wish you all the best in your life and all the luck in the world."
Nana shared her feelings, giving her best wish to everyone. She stood in the stage, looking upon the audiences. She came to the Capital alone, but she didn't feel alone. She was one of them who held with music dream, struggling in the bottom of society, looking forward to the stars, but she didn't sink in the sea of pain.
'With my beloved guitar as my accompany, I don't feel alone in my empty moment. With my music as my cure, I don't sink the sea of pain. With music dream as my guide, I get out of the sea of pain, and reach the dream stage.'
Morgana fluttered her wings like a butterfly, flying up the boxy stage with the view of the stars. She was the brightest star in the galaxy, standing in the spotlight, looking upon the audiences. She hadn't heard their music, but she understood they were just like Nana who held with music dream, longing for this stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's with a great pleasure that I announce Music Contest is concluded successfully! This stage is always looking forward to listening to your music. I'm always looking forward to listening to your music. The world is always looking forward to listening to your music. We have enjoyed the music feast. Let's enjoy a delicious luncheon feast."
Morgana announced Music Contest's conclusion, inviting the audiences to join the delicious luncheon feast. She opened a portal, summoning the exquisite and delicious food, laying them at the table in the audience area.
'Let's just eat and drink. What could possibly go wrong with that.'
