Miracles Do Happen

Alexis' POV.

He shone with divine light, a melodious sound ringing in the air, reverberating brilliantly across the world, each note played perfectly as I felt my anger subside.

There were no words-Simply a violin I felt him play with all his heart, golden light radiating as power engulfed me, my defences broken down-This sound materialised into powers beyond my imagination, my vision going black for a moment as I found myself sucked into the abyss.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a familiar place.

I remembered nothing about it, not a name, a landmark-Nothing.

Yet, why did it seems to familiar.

I felt as if I had forgotten something important.

Something really important.

I saw two little kids playing around in the autumn leaves, giggling innocently as they had naive fun-Untainted by the world that laid before them.

They glowed with naïveté, not a violent bone in their body, just two innocent children having fun.

I felt something warm streaking down my cheeks.

Reaching up to touch it-

Why am I?

I couldn't stop, my tears flowing freely down my cheeks as I looked on.

I let out a shaky breath as the two of them seemed to come in my direction, the sound of the violin ever-present, my lip trembling as it was about to reach a crescendo.

My hand reached forward, as if to touch them and yet-

They passed right through me, blissfully ignorant of my being-As if I were an invisible spectre, nonexistent in their eyes.

Just as I was about to turn around-The music abruptly stopped, my vision fading once more as it faded back to the wasteland of a planet, rubble all around me as he faced me.

He held out the bow and violin towards me.

"Play it."

I took a step forward.

Then another.

We were less than a metre apart.

I took one more step, my hands grasping onto the bow and violin.

"What do I play?" I whispered softly.

"Finish the song."

"I...I don't know what song that is."

"Follow your heart. You know the song. You just don't remember it." He stared at me encouragingly.

Taking a deep breath, I played a note.

My vision turned to black as I lost of conceptions of time.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the body of a girl much younger than me.

I was staring into the eyes of a bright-eyed boy with the sweetest of smiles as he played on a violin.

He took my hand as I blinked.

In that moment of me blinking, he had grown into a teenager and so had I.

Memories filled my head, memories I'd forgotten for so long.

He smiled wordlessly as we walked hand-in-hand through the meadows of greenery and blooming flowers-The sunset casting a golden lustre upon the world.

I blinked as memories rushed into my head-

The next moment, he had disappeared, the warmth my hand felt gone as I saw him battling a man with golden hair.
