There was a massive stage in front of us. Two people dressed in kabuki masks were sitting up on stage, one was wearing a pure white garb while the other was wearing a black garb. The one in the dark garb on the left wore a mask that was sad, while the one in the white garb on the right side wore a mask that had a smiling expression.
In front of them, were two Guzheng. Instead of the expected red colour, they alternated black and white. The white one for the black-garbed player and the black one for the white-garbed player.
The crowd packed the outer rim of the stage and we managed to squeeze our way to the front. As the crowd hit it's peak the one wearing the sad mask shouted. Instantly it got everyone's attention and a silence filled the air.
The sad mask then began to pluck their strings, softly at first. It was strange however that with each pluck you could feel the air change slightly.
As sad mask began to play the melancholy tone happy mask jumped in and began to pluck along as well. As the tune picked up they began rhythmically stomping their feet.
Everyone's blood started boiling.
[ Wow this is amazing! ]
I looked at Riku and the others they seemed entranced by the sounds. Suddenly the beat picked up.
Whoosh!
At that moment two streams of light came from each of the instruments. The lights formed a bird and a snake. They seemed to battle in time to the music. A few people in the crowd pulled masks from behind their backs and put them on.
Riku looked at us and said " They have some pretty amazing wind magic. Coupled with their music abilities we are in for a treat!"
My heart beat erratically as every kind of mask could be seen, from ogres to beautiful women. Both the males and females who jumped up on stage began to fight, dance and sing with each other in perfect unison to the dueling Guzheng. Each stomp of the people's feet forming a backbeat to the player's melody.
Just as the crescendo was about to hit the bird burst into magnificent light and a phoenix appeared in its wake. The snake seemed to flee for a bit before it to burst and transformed this time into a dragon.
The transformation seemed to send the backup dancers on stage into a frenzy as their voice stopped they all bowed to the beasts above them. A war cry sounded out from the smiling mask and the sad mask in unison.
The dancers seemed to pick sides and went to ram into each other. It seemed to me as a novice swordsman that each person on stage had very strong martial arts. Kicks, whirls, flips and punches could all be seen! Finally, the song started dying down the phoenix and dragon seemed to fly up into the sky before seemingly bursting into brilliant fireworks.
It felt at the time that my heart would stop as a raging applause echoed in the air. I clapped along unconsciously too. Finally, the group lined up and bowed before they shouted in unison.
" HAVE A HAPPY FESTIVAL FROM THE MAIN MAGICUS ACADEMY! "
[ They were high school students?! ]
" Were they really from the Magicus Academy?" I mumbled to no one in particular.
The second prince being right next to me looked over and said " I heard from papa that the oldest students have to put on a show for the people at some point... I didn't know it was in public." the crown prince seemed to shake a little.
I felt a little bad for the shy kid so I grabbed his shoulder and said. " Don't worry! I am sure we will be in our classes together at that time we can be nervous together!"
