I went inside the room to find Dori and Phaedra playing their instruments and singing. Their song was really nice, though I had never heard it... it was probably one of those they had written long time before, or maybe one they had invented in that moment. However, when I opened the door, they immediately looked up at me and stood up.
"Welcome, Melody" I always knew Dori didn't like to say many words, but she surprised me that time. She made me sit on Lydia's place, because she wasn't there, and looked at me with a smile. "We were about to call you, but you came before we did. That's good."
"Why did you make me sit in here?" I asked. I didn't really like all that mystery, it seemed like something really bad was going to happen. Then, another question came to my mind "What was that song you were singing?"
And when I realized why I was there, I wished I didn't go there in the first place. I stayed there for three hours, writing the lyrics of that song, which was called "Believe", and listening to Dori and Phaedra playing it with their instruments. It seemed almost a magical song, and it had really wonderful words, but I'll never stay in a room for hours and learn a song anymore in my whole life; it was too difficult, I was about to fall asleep. Luckily I had a notebook and a pencil, so I drew my whistle on the paper when I finished to write the lyrics.
That night, I couldn't sleep: I wondered why they made me learn a song in so little time, probably something bad was going to happen and they couldn't do anything else...
The answer to my question arrived the next morning. I woke up and went downstairs to say good morning to the three Muses of Music, but they weren't there; I looked outside the window and saw Dori and Phaedra flying away onto their winged horses... where they went, I didn't know. What I noticed was that the Diamond Castle was slowly fading, and that I had only a few minutes for going out of it.
I saw the towers of the castle disappear from outside, the bridge that connected the island to the trees with it. I didn't know what was happening, but I didn't like it. I looked behind me because I heard a noise, but there was nothing. I waited and waited there for many hours, without eating anthing, and the dark replaced the light. I surely fell asleep for a few hours, and when I woke up, it was midnight. I stood up and walked inside the trees, three different voices coming to my ears. I immediately recognized Phaedra's voice, then Lydia's and Dori's. I ran in the direction their voices came from, and when I saw them, I hid behind a tree. There were the three Muses, but also a flying serpent that I had never seen before.
"The Diamond Castle isn't only yours, Lydia" Dori said "Music is something that everyone should have"
"It's true, you can't keep it for yourself." Phaedra added "We'll forgive you if you'll change your mind"
Lydia smiled evily and took her flute, then began to play a scary melody with it. Dori and Phaedra looked around them, scared and confused. I saw them becoming of green marble, both at the same time. I gasped and ran quickly, not wanting Lydia to see me, but I heard her order to her flying serpent to catch me
"Get her, Slyder! Get her immediately!" the serpent began to chase me, I ran, my legs were that fast only because of fear. Unfortunately, that "Slyder" could fly... I continued to ran, then saw an old woman sleeping on the ground under a tent, a mirror near her. I had an idea: I took my whistle and played a quick melody, I felt my body fade and become mist, and when I opened my eyes again, I was inside the mirror. I looked onto the ground in there for my whistle, but it wasn't there... then, it struck me: I had forgotten it outside!
I couldn't go out from the mirror without my magic; I heard Slyder walking outside my new prison and breaking my whistle under his paw. I couldn't scream, so I just sat and silently began to cry.
(Tell me what do you think, pretty please! Hope you liked it.)
