At the second crescendo, the lights didn’t turn back on. Instead, two gigantic, glowing wings bursted out of his back and flapped in the air, making him gracefully float a few centimeters above the stage. He felt… like he would never stop singing. Never stop his passion. The feathers floated over the entire concert, slowly falling down on people. They felt warm, and dissolved on touch of persons or the ground.
(Time: 1:59 to 2:33)
(Time 2:33 - 3:05) The music went back down and his wings circled around him like to protect him as he sat down, the feathers slowly loosing intensity. The realisation of what happened slowly came to him. He had a talent… all the lying and acting he did, for nothing. People would realised and he wouldn’t be able to play for them ever again… He staid immobile there, tearing up slightly, but some luminous grass started to grow on the scene.
(Time 3:06-end) His head slowly rised up. He knew how he’d be able to show his passion for eternity…make his show so good nobody would forget. Huge plants and trees started gorwing on the tree, making a beautiful forest scenery, glowing with light and pulsing with power. Even a sun was there, beaming on the audience with it’s rays and making them… energized, somehow. They felt like they could do anything. Skyla stood up and slowly walked towards the far end of the scene. The light faded away, before totally disappearing a few seconds after he disappeared backstage.
The scene looked completely normal, now.
The Crowd starts cheering,
Eleanor walks outside the concert hall, unable to bear her emotions. The lyrics hit her greatly, and they resonated with the girl inside her. I wish I could say that to you… She thought of her deceased co-partner.
She awaits the singer outside the backstage. Wiping her tears away.
The singer appeared as affected as she was as he stepped outside. Skyla obviously wiped a few tears away himself, looking at the few fans that waited outside. He had no clue what to tell them… he had no idea what happened himself. He still needed to process that information as he stood there, silent and watching them.
Some of the fans went up to Skyla, and surrounded her. Eleanor looks at them and sighs, going to the Neksian. She passes a note to Skyla shyly, and walks away.
“Your music reopened my wounds. But those wounds tasted sweet, and I was able to feel something I have not felt in a long time. Thank you. If you need anything, you can come to the Church of Lyncitus. I’ll be there.”
Skyla was focused on the other fans, mindlessly pocketing the note without reading it for now. He looked up to them and put his hand on a fan’s shoulder. “Everyone. If you’ve come to see me, it’s because you liked that show, right? You felt the same energy I did. You know what I would want you to do? I want you to use this energy you’re feeling right now to do whatever you want. Fullfil your dreams like I did while singing.”
He turned towards the neko that walked away afterwards, squinting. He swore she had something about her that ticked his interest. He felt the note in his pocket, and decided he’d talk to her as soon as he was done here.
Apart from the man in black standing right in front of him, Kai can’t see the outside.
The entrance is shielded by mirrors.
"U-um… hi. Can I come in? "
It’s Alvine.
“Ah, you came. Come in” Kaito gestures for Alvine to follow him to the main hall.
Are those mirrors really neccessary? He thinks.
He swiftly dispersed the small amount of fans that had massed around him with that last sentence, and they went away to fulfill their dreams. He smiled and read the note, before walking towards the church at a slow pace. they’d be waiting for him after all.
“T-thanks,” he scurries in. The mirrors folds themselves and floats inside once the Alvine is out of sight. Standing in front of the mirrors, Alvine clenches his fist and performs and uppercut. The mirrors break into dust. The glittering particles float toward a leather pouch on his waist.
“Thank you for waiting… have you heard the announcement?”
“Yeah. I don’t plan on it however, not while my brother is injured.” Kaito responses.
“Where is Dragon? The lil one?” He inquires. (It should be approximately 9 PM)
“B-boss said he will head back to Callinety. And… I haven’t seen Lance since the fight at Light Shire,” he nervously twiddles his finger. It seems like he’s trying to make his mind on something.
“The other lil one,” Kaito says.
“You know the whiney one? Like a lil kid? That we brought along on the ship?” He sighs.
“…” he stays silent.
“I’m coward.” His fingers move faster.
“I left you and Ave and Lance and everyone during the fight. Frankly, I only carried Boss because he was gripping my collar.” A bitter laugh escapes his mouth.
“Master said my power is strong. Boss said the same as well. But I kept running away when it gets scary. What if Lance and Ave are dead? Isn’t it like I killed them myself? If I didn’t run, maybe they will be with you now.”
