Curse Of The Vengeful Spirit

Chapter 12: Magic?

Teen girl's P.O.V

I'm probably sure Shendelzare wasn't so curious enough to know what was the harp I've been carrying lately. Instead of twicthing back in anger at me, she stood passively, certainly a bad idea because all I can see is blank expression.

I sighed. She was on the floor, sleeping silently, with my sleeping bag as her foam. Usually, I never imagined that virtual avatars of a game could sleep.

And as I wanted to sleep (so badly), I never did. But until I heard some notes on the attic, I smiled at myself as I closed my eyes. The notes seem to be purely carved by a composer, but hell no, he wasn't.

I was right about the harp. It perfectly suits the idea on why angels held the precious instrument.

Drgaonus' P.O.V

Minutes earlier...

There was... a harp probably. That's what this paper says.

I was utterly confused. It had some strings that outlined its body, and its curved body that resembles like a bow.

The girl said to use my hand. But I must be careful, the string could break if I struck it so hard. Well, I only tested how my finger could work on the harp.

And a sound emenated from it. I became startled as I retracted my hand back, could it be magic?

But recalling the sound, it felt really like some sort of magic. I'm not so fond of what kind of magic is in this thing, but I guess, I could use it.

Maybe a bit practice. Don't pluck the strings too hard, and watch the notes. That wasn't going to be easy.

But after a few tryings, I did it.

Teenage girl's P.O.V

Damn. Last night it looks like an orchestra took a place in my attic. But I knew it was only Dragonus, and I wondered what did he do last night.

Only one way to find out. I walked to the attic.

And upon reaching the door, I saw him on the table, sleeping, and his helmet still sitting on the shelf. Wow, they really could sleep.

The harp was below him in perfect condition. I plucked three strings and the other two strings in between, it created a simple note.

I chuckled as he woken up. Probably startled.

"Well, I must say that you really did something last night." I said at him.

Perplexed, Dragonus blinked at me as he scratched his head. "It had some magic, I guess. I never seen something like this before."

Again, I tried my best to hide laughter. "No, it's not magic at all, but the notes could be the magic you're reffering."

I sat on a wooden stool in front of him, smiling a grin. "Show me some studies you have."

Dragonus nodded as he reached the harp. He sat on his wooden chair and positioned it carefully on a stool, to meet his height and started to struck his talons on the strings.

There was it. I loved piano pieces before, but what's missing now, is the lyrics... probably.

After a few minutes of listening to his beautiful random piece, I stepped up my gaze towards him.

"You know what, that's probably the whole magic you're talking about."

Dragonus carried the harp carefully back on a corner. "Maybe."

I stifled a chuckle. "And maybe I can help you. To at least show something more than a curse to her."

Lyrics. Gotta find the best for him.

AN: I changed the speech to normal instead of italics, if you noticed.

And there's a Suggestion box going on right now. Not exactly like a poll, but me and Kath will try to choose the best from our friends. (Yes, Kath came back from her studies. Where we recently played Dota 2 together again with my friends.)

Welp, I'll hold this chapter for a while until me and Kath decides to choose an idea for the next chapter.

PS: And by the way, the harp sounds like a piano-guitar. Just my perspective.
