just little shorts

just the magic of music.

A/n: This was inspired by one of prompts fantasy prompts, and I kinda liked how it turned out.
I walked into the empty classroom, the sound of my feet hitting the tiles echoing in the halls. I walked in the room, shutting the door behind me. My eyes sparkled as they landed on the piano that sat there, begging to be used. It was the lightest purple, with gold accents lacing around it. You sat on the bench, your feet dangling due to the fact you were extremely short. Using a handle on the side of the bench, you raised the seat a little higher, so you could reach the piano keys a little more comfortably.
       You opened the folder that lay in your lap, placing it on the piano. Opening it, taking out a peice of staff paper that had notes scribbled on it in messy handwriting. You looked over the music, looking for any mistakes, and replaying how it sounded in your head.  You played your fingers on the keys, slowly directing yourself to beginning keys. You played through the song slowly, humming to the melody. You didn't even notice the light glow emitting from the piano. As you finished the song. You let out a sigh of happiness, as your fingers grazed over to the starting point of the song once again. This time you played through it in the beat it was meant to be played. The piano glowed brightly this time, but you still failed to notice. You let the last key play out until it's sound faded out. It was then that you heard the shuffling behind you. You turned around to see someone standing behind you. It was a tall man, about your age. He had red messy hair that reached to the bottom of his neck. You hadn't seen him at school, so your imeadiate thought was that this was a hostage situation, and you were the hostage. He mischievously smiled when he noticed your eyes flickered with fear.
"Don't worry Hun, I'm not gonna kill you and hide your body in the deep abyss of the ocean." He said, chuckling, "I just came to hear your music." You looked at him curiously, then motioned for him to explain further with your hands.
"Not much of a speaker? Did you notice the weird glowy thing the piano did while you played?" You shook your head no, wondering how crazy this guy actually was.
"Well maybe it's the fact that your completely mute and the only sound you make is on the piano, but you have something we like to call 'magic music'" he said, smirking. Who even was this guy? Maybe if you called the police now, you wouldn't die. That wouldn't work though, due to the fact that a word hasn't left your mouth since the age of three, so why would you be able to speak to police?
"Oh wait, before I explain who you  are, let me explain who I am first," he said, hoping to ease your confusion, "I am Phoenix, at least that's what you can call me, my actual name is too complex and usually makes human brains shut down. I'm kinda like a bounty Hunter, who looks for things that have somehow managed to have magic in their bloodstreams. You are one of the few humans who have that magic in you," He said. You thought maybe it was time to put yourself in a mental institution, or maybe put him in one.
"So you are a human with magical abilities, which is rare, but it happens. Your ability is just as rare though, you see. Whenever you play a song of your own creation, it gives you the ability to alter anyone and anything's thoughts. Meaning you could make anything happen, just as long as your playing a song. The person will continue to have that thought until any music of your creation stops. Bassically if you were to start playing right now you could make me think that I'm about to die, or make me think that I'm a chicken, please don't, by the way." He said.
You thought for a moment. Then grabbed a peice of paper, writing something down. You gave him the paper. It read: does that mean I can transfer thoughts to your head, like talk to you through my head?
"Well yes, but like I said, you would have to be playing a song."
You wrote some more.
Okay, what does play mean? Like could I record the song and just play it on my phone every time? Or with a guitar isntead? Or is it strictly tied to a piano?
"Uhm...I guess, the paper I read about your power only says "playing original music written by the person activates the power." Phoenix said, quoting the peice of paper in his hand.
"By the way, what's your name?" Phoenix asked. You thought for a second. You never really had a name. No one talked to you long enough for you to need one. The closest you were to having a name were the titles of the music you wrote. You scribbled something down.
"Lyra." Phoenix spoke out. "Did you even have a name before I asked?" He questioned. You shook your head.
"Well, record a song or whatever so you can speak to me in my head, and we can work this out." Phoenix said, sitting down at a desk.
    You pulled out your phone, tapping the record button. You began to play your song through, hitting every note with the exact amount of emotion it needed. By the time you tapped the stop button and named your recording, Phoenix was already impressed. He had only heard you play one song and he already felt attached to you. You played the song on your phone quietly, and sent a thought to Phoenix.
"Can you hear me? Well not hear, like thinking or something? Can you hear my thought? I don't even know." Phoenix laughed.
"Is that what your voice actually sounds like? I bet you have a beautiful singing voice too. Come on Lyra, we have to speak to the higher ups and decide what to make of you." Phoenix said, getting up and stretchimg his arms. He held out his hand to you, and you took it, hoping the people he was bringing you to wouldn't want to kill you or something. You saw him grabbed one of the necklaces dangling from his neck and he closed his eyes for a second, whispering something. An odd circle appeared in front of you two, and then he pulled you into it. Maybe this would be fun.

A/n: ayye this actually isn't that bad! Maybe a part 2 tho? Idk. I definitely thought it was good, but maybe not? Maybe it was too boring? Idk, just tell me what you think. I also kinda wanna do a short on Phoenix and maybe a backstory?
