The musician is back

I can't play the piano

Dear reader, have you ever felt like you are being stuck somewhere, you don't even belong to? Have you ever wondered if there are hidden gates for you and that there one day might appear someone with a key?

I can't play the piano!

The september has came upon us, and today, I'll begin a new journey. I have been selected to one of the most prestigious high schools, where I'll continue my learning of the English language. I will be staying at the dormitory, so I am going to get some more freedom, or I at least I hope so.

A month later

It has already been a month my dear diary, and to be honest, I am no longer so enthusiastic about staying at the dorm and learning. There is just no fun, and I can't even make a good friend amongst all the people. They are not being hostile or something, it is just, they are way too different and it seems, they are on a different level as well. The only thing I do all day are assignments and study, just where is the fun?

That day during the launch break

(Just walking through the corridor, lost in throughs, after a while, I found out, I got lost. I've turned around the direction I got there from, but then something caught my interest. I've seen an open door, and there has been no-one, so I entered it. )
,, It seems, that is a piano lesson, class''.
( At first I hesitate, but couldn't resist, touching the piano and after I just sat down to it someone appeared behind me)

,,You, it's you!"
( With a shock I turned around and saw a exactly handsome boy, I would lie if I said the opposite)
,,Me? I am sorry, my name is Lili, I just got lost"
,, Lost? The song, you just played, do you even know, how long we have been waiting for you?"
,, Excuse me? I didn't play any song, I barely sat down!"
,, No I saw you, you are the key"
,, Okay, I don't get a word you say, I'll be leaving, so if you excuse me" ( and then I left the room) ,, such a psycho..." ( And I shaked my head)

At the dormitory
Dear diary, when I said I want fun, I really didn't meant that a crazy hot jerk will appear behind me and talk such nonsense. We both know I can't even draw the music sheets.

On another day during a break
What? Why am I being here again ? (I found myself sitting in front of the piano, with my hands on it.)
,,You see, you play very well "
,,Argh its you again!" ,, Why would you lead me there and stalk on me? Just leave me alone at once"
"Do you really not remember a thing?" ,, Just a 5 minutes ago I introduced myself to you and you started to play that song"
( No matter what I say, he won't listen to me, I just left without any other interaction.)

On the other hand of the of the story
Piano department
( Standing before the table, all eyes on me, why the hell did I just skip the first month??)
,,So, my name is Tianji, nice to meet you, I guess" (I guess?! Oh my saint lord I am so stupid what a warm introduction)
Okay Tianji, please just sit down on that empty chair.

During the break
🎶
,, What is this song?" ( I am sure, it's... This is..)
I came to the room
,, The blue door!" ,,Girl, are you the musician? "
The music stopped.
,,You! It's you!"
Me? I am sorry, my name is Lili, I just got lost"
,, Lost? The song, you just played, do you even know, how long we have been waiting for you?"
Excuse me? I didn't play any song, I barely sat down!"
,, No I saw you, you are the key"
,, Okay, I don't get a word you say, I'll be leaving, so if you excuse me"
,,Wait! Let me try something, maybe you are just in a shock" then I started to play a calming song on a flute, in that second, she turned to the piano and started to play with me. Everything went well, until she started to play a song that was rather disturbing and she made it look like a part of the calming song. I immediately stoped playing, but she continued and her power made my hands move and I was forced to continue the twisted song along with her. She was totally obsessed, and what is worse, the more she played this demonic song, the more darker and colder was the surrounding. It begun the spread all across the world, the sun started to fade out and overwhelming panic attacks the people. I don't even know for how long has this been going on. But after she finished the dark part she continued to play the calming song and the world came to it's peace once again. After she finished, I stood there just gazing and she stormed out like nothing ever happened.

On the other day, I got a letter from my tutor saying I should visit him. I was on my way to fetch some food, when I saw her walking into the room and sitting before the piano.
,, wait before you start to play, please listen, my name is Tianji, I'll"
She started to play another demonic song before he could finish his sentence.
She opened a gate to hell and while she played I had to summon my blade and slay all the demons, that managed to escape. Her hands were covered with blood, the keyboard got too sharp, there is always a price when messing with the evil. ,, Hey! You crazy girl! You are going to kill us both!
I couldn't watch her injuring her fingers anymore, so I stoped fighting the demons and instead I ran to her and stoped her bloody hand. She just gazed at me, mouth slightly open and her eyes totally empty, there was no life inside of her.
,,Lili, listen, I'll heal your hands now, but promise me, you won't play these songs again."
I have healed her hands, and she turned to the piano again, but this time, she opened the gate again, I walked in and she stopped the playing.
What? Why am I being here again ?
,,You see, you play very well "
,,Argh its you again!" ,, Why would you lead me there and stalk on me? Just leave me alone at once"
"Do you really not remember a thing?" ,, Just a 5 minutes ago I introduced myself to you and you started to play that song"
Then she stood up again, and left.

The other morning, I left to visit my tutor, I already knew what he is going to say.
,, Mister, I received your summons, I found the musician!"
,,You indeed did! But you should have kill him! The world got nearly destroyed! Are you even aware of the fact?!"
,, Mister listen to me, she don't remember a thing! She don't even know she can play instruments."
The old man sat down.
,,Of course she don't remember, she hasn't discovered her servant yet."
,, Her servant?" ,, Do you mean she is a magician just like us? Not just the gate keeper?"
,,You stupid thing, the musician is one of the most powerful mages ever."
,, hmmm she you say?"
,, Yes, she is a student at my school, but in a different department."
,, Whatever Tianji, I'll give you another chance, keep a close eye on her, if she freaks again, kill her while you can."
,, yes mister, will do"
,, Tianji? Isn't there anything else you should tell me?"
,, no there is not, just, tell me, is it possible that the calming song, is not that calming? "
,, What do you mean?"
,, You already know that what happened to the sun, was her doing, well, it happened while we played the calming song and she started to play something else, and made it look like a calming song."
,, She did? Well of course, do you want to hear a story of old?"
,, Well it looks like I have no other choice"
,, listen, in the ancient times, the musician opened the gate and we got stuck there, as I already told you he taught us a few songs, that we can use with our magic ( Tianji yawns, he heared this part countless times), these songs were the calming song, attack and time stop. But there has been an ancestor of ours that made him teach him another song ( now this got the interest) the song was to heal, but he found an old book and changed a part of the song to something unholy and disgraceful and we still don't know why would he do such a thing . But what we know for sure, is that the ancestor used this song on his own family! And a lot of other people!
,, Mister, how is it possible that each time you tell me this story, you add something new and never finish the whole story? "
,, Because I will always tell you only what you need to know.''
I turned to leave when he asked me
,, Tianji, is it really everything you should have told me?"
,, Of course master, there is nothing else worth mentioning."
,, Be off then, and update me with anything you found out."
