Chapter 7: Violin

[3/3]

~

Alizejh was fuming with anger as she bit her nails chewing upon them seeing Rael and a mysterious woman dance together.

'Why is brother dancing with her??'

She eyes the woman with a death glare secretly, in return she got a polite smile when the woman turned to look in her direction.

'This bitch!'

She clenched her hands so hard that blood started to trickle down her hands.

'Calm down Ale calm down, brother wouldn't want to see such an incompetent sight of you.'

Years of experience and battle experience calmed her down, she knew that in every matter she had to be calm.

In fact, this was the first time in a while she had ever let her emotions run a flow.

But her actions were due to a sense of insecurity she felt, her woman's spider-sense was ringing very violently.

She secretly wondered who the woman was, she knew that she was a vampire seeing the completion of her body and beautiful figure which was made for the sole purpose of seduction.

But what shocked her was that she had white hair instead of black.

'Is she a royal vampire? But how... this shouldn't be possible... the only known female royal vampire is Aria Vardansha, the sister of the current Vampire king, the archduchess of the Vampire Kingdom.'

She took another glance at her but to her disappointment, she had mysteriously vanished into thin air.

'Who is that woman?'

Rael gave out a deep sigh as he saw the many women approaching him. He was able to reject most of them politely but some scarred his heart.

'Damn to think I would have to run away from there...'

He shuddered a bit when he thought about the crazy women who he rejected and without a second thought ran after him with a knife in their hands.

Rael went to where the garden and pond were, the pond had become his favorite place since the time his memories came back to him.

Just like the first time he came, the wind was blowing silently in the garden.

The leaves were dancing in the direction of the wind. The endless sky was looking back at Rael as he stared at it.

Rael walked a bit ahead and saw a beautiful pond. The pond was illuminated with divine light. The pond was shrouded with the grace of moonlight.

He went to sit on the top of a branch of a tree and enjoy the melancholic view when he saw a violin near the tree.

'Violin huh? It's certainly been a long time since I have touched one.'

Rael went ahead to grab the violin. He lightly slid his fingers and started to feel the violin. He held it hard between his chin and slowly started to play it.

A soft tranquil sound came from the violin, it was pretty off-key in the beginning but then it quickly turned into a beautiful tone that was in perfect harmony with nature.

Rael laid back with his back on the tree and continued to play the instrument.

The sound spread into the air giving a warm fuzzy feeling.

The serene sound permeated the environment, calming the environment.

The  aesthetic  product of a given succession of  pitches  in musical time, implying rhythmically moved orderly from one pitch to another pitch.

All the insects and animals in the garden stopped whatever they were doing and came to where Rael was.

The fishes in the pond which were in a death-like state had been revived anew and stuck their head out without regard for oxygen.

All the animals and insects were silent and enjoyed what Rael was playing.

Have you ever seen sound as colors?

Yes, the sound was literally making wisps that shimmered in the moonlight and lightly danced elegantly.

Can you imagine a thousand animals and a million insects in one place?

Well, all the creatures were here.

They were all peacefully listening to a lost lonely tune full of life.

It is said that loneliness is not something to be pitied on and sometimes it is an art.

The garden was full of life, dead plants revived, flowers started to bloom in the middle of the night.

The wind dared not to move, everything was silent while the stars also gazed at Rael.

The only thing that filled the forest was the melody.

The best violinists would fall in shame due to the large difference in their skills if they heard it.

Finally, after some time the music stopped, his hands slowly tapped on the violin as he gently let it off into just one hand.

He exhaled a deep sigh, his eyes still closed.

'It felt really nice to play the violin after thousands of years.'

Indeed he had played Violin after a very long time since he believed that the music he played in the human realm wasn't true music.

For him, true music playing was when he combined spiritual energy with his surroundings and instrument.

That way emotions of the composer, the player, and the listeners all would be conveyed.

This was also the reason why Fairies were known as the best musicians.

He bowed to show his gratitude and his eyes blinked open, what he saw left him in shock.

It was a scenario which never happened in his life as a fairy nor as a human.

All the creatures, animals, beasts, insects, fishes all were kneeling right at his foot.

Some of them had even gone to sleep.

Rael smiled warmly looking at the scene and sat down near the tree looking at the animals and the moonlight which reflected from the surface of the pond.

The aesthetic environment made him feel giddy and he had short outbursts of nostalgia of his home realm.

Suddenly he heard a voice from behind him.

"Mister Irakiel~"

He tilted his head to look at the familiar white-haired lady.

"Miss Aria."

She smiled as she politely spoke, "You can call me Aria."

Rael smiled back and caressed the violin in front of him, looking at the lady intently.

"If you say so Aria, you may call me Rael."

She giggled before giving a reply of her own.

"If you say so, Rael."

She sat near Rael and pouted cutely.

"It hurt me when you left me alone. Don't you know that women should never be left alone, how ungentle."

Rael looked at her as if he had been wronged as he sighed a bit with a bitter smile of his own.

"If I remember correctly then it was you who left me standing up."

"Ah is that so?" She asked tilting her head as a dimple of her was shown.

Rael nodded and continued looking at the distant stars.

She then pointed towards the instrument in his hand and said "That is actually mine"

Rael widened his eyes and gave an apologizing look to her.

"I didn't realize."

She smiled snuggling a bit up to him, taking advantage of the research excuse.

"I was actually trying to find it, I was afraid I lost it hence I left as soon as the dance was over."

Rael raised his eyebrows looking at her with interest.

"If it wasn't for you I think I wouldn't have been able to find it actually, your playing brought me over here."

He smiled and gave a nod to her, "You are welcome for that."

For a few moments, they just sat there enjoying the silence and the tranquil atmosphere until Aria decided to speak up.

"Did you compose that piece?"

"Yes." Rael nodded, his eyes closed enjoying the gentle breeze against his face.

"You are quite good...how did you learn how to dance and play the piano so elegantly at such a young age?" She asked twirling her hair around her slender fingers.

"Secret,"

He said as he gave her a wink with his fingers upon his lips.

Well, it was truly a secret, he could let the people close to him know but hr was not sure if he could open up to her yet.

After all they just met.

She smiled and pouted a bit, but then again she wasn't the type of person who would pry into someone else's business like an arrogant snob of a girl.

Aria was actually quite amazed by the young demon in front of her and found him very mysterious.

She wanted to know more about him!!

She licked her lips gently as she looked at him more and more.

Thump... thump... lub dub dub dub

She could feel her heart beating faster the more she looked at him.

'What is this feeling... is this maybe attraction?'

For the first time in her life she was feeling attracted to the opposite gender and to be honest she didn't dislike the feeling and instead embraced it.

"Teach me?" She stuttered a bit and didn't understand what she asked.

Rael felt a bit confused, he didn't understand if she was ordering or requesting but in all, he understood her intention.

He sized her up before asking, "What will you give me?"

"My body." She boldly declared with a giggle of her own.

Rael was stunned for a second before returning to his normal but inside he was completely different.

'Huh?!???!? Say that again!!!???'

She took the violin out from his hand seductively by pressing herself on Rael, her long legs wrapped around Rael's waist and her finger on his lips, then she turned around after slowly after taking the violin.

Rael raised his eyebrows and sighed.

She was beautiful compared to the female fairies, he could easily say that her beauty was that of Titania or Elequeeness or his own twin.

She looked back at Rael and gave a playful smile and asked again,

"Will you teach me?"

He gripped her waist close to his chest and whispered in her ear with hot breath making it twitch a bit.

"If you want I can teach you something else."
