Finding My Harmony

The Essence of Nature (Chapter 5)

"Do you understand now?" the book questioned.

"Do I understand?" I shouted.

"You just played with my emotions making it seem like I had a family for a second when it was all fake. And on top of that you attacked me." I screamed.

"None of that was fake, everything you felt and saw was real. That truly was your relative, she is one of your many many great grandmothers, who is still alive and well by the way, and younger than ever" it retorted.

"And I did not attack you, I just let you understand what would be at stake of your "unimportant essence"" it said.

I huffed at the book until I realized what it had said before getting a little overly excited.

"Wait, she's still alive? How is that even possible? Wait, can I see her? Please?" I asked frantically.

"In due time Princess, now that you know what is needed please study the guidelines of music. And don't hesitate to call on me when you need help, your Highness" said the book.

It flipped it's pages to the guidelines of an Ousía Guardian of Music. The guidelines read that the essence of Music is what helps keep human life in a perfect balance. It then went on about how the Guardian of Music is in charge of all human life and their sound, voices and emotions. Meaning it can control them and make them do whatever they want at will. So that's why the book said it was the most powerful. If any person were to have my powers then they could take over the universe. I trembled in fear at the thought of humanity relying on me. It also read that I could do illusions and spells of all sorts using my voice. I never thought about my voice being a weapon. I don't even sing and when I do want to, I hum instead. The guideline mentioned healing powers as well along with self healing. I spent the entire day studying and trying to understand the spells in the book and how to unlock my transformations. When night rolled along I felt so exhausted and weak. I was in one position all day fixed on that couch. I got ready for bed and headed to my cot which I slept like a baby in.

Morning came around, I had slept in so late and I still felt so weak and tired.

"Good morning sleepyhead," Babs said as I walked into the living room.

"I remember when Rosie first started studying she was tired for days and then when the training started I wouldn't see her for what felt like weeks at a time" Babs replied while laughing.

"It's going to be okay Adagio, you'll get used to it eventually" Babs said calmly.

"Now come eat before your food gets cold." she said.

I sat at the table eating my food hoping it would give just a little bit of energy. Afterwards, I went into the bathroom, took a bath and got dressed for the day. I wore black leggings with a blue t-shirt and white sneakers with white socks. I walked back out into the living room and sat on the mat next to Rosie.

"Okay now that you're both here we'll practice some spells." Babs said.

"I'll teach you both an invisibility spell, it doesn't last very long but it should be able to assist you if you're ever in need of it" she said.

"Now, repeat after me, Nevidi Disparu" she chanted as she disappeared.

"Nevidi Disparu" Rosie chanted.

Slowly but surely she started to disappear right before my eyes. I took a big gulp and then closed my eyes as I concentrated.

"Nevidi Disparu" I chanted a bit shakingly.

Nothing had happened. I didn't feel any tingling and I was looking right at my sneakers. I let out a brief sigh.

"You're not going to get it on the first try, especially with all those nerves and jitters you got." Babs said as she reappeared.
