I've had the idea for this story for awhile now and I finally decided to start on it. This story will not be updated as often as my other stories Senior Year and The Coven Must Live On. This is basically a Riven and Musa story however, the other couples will be in the story as well.

Summary: The story takes place on Melody. Two evil sorcerers have stolen Apollo's lyre, stripping Melody of it's magical essence. The Winx Club as well as the specialists must find the lyre and return it to its rightful place. The story also focuses on Musa and Riven's relationship.

This one is dedicated to all the Musa and Riven fans

The Golden Lyre

Prologue

On the planet Melody a tall slender dark haired man lurked about the temple of Apollo. It was all too easy for the man to slip into the temple undetected. In a matter of minutes he would have what he came for and then he could leave. It was a shame how easily he had gotten inside. The man thought to himself and he had been prepared to put up a fight. But none of that mattered, it was better this way. When he left no one would come after him. Hours would pass before they even detected anything was wrong.

Making his way through the temple he studied the many paintings on the walls. The people of Melody worshiped the god Apollo and all his glory. Melody had been the god's final resting place or so they said. Before he completely disappeared he stored his powers in his coveted golden lyre that now sat here in the temple that was built in his honor.

The room that held the lyre had to be straight ahead. Imogen, his accomplice and twin sister, had informed him saying that just outside the room would be the statues of the nine muses Apollo was said to have tamed. He saw that just behind the row of statues was a tall golden archway. Entering into the room he could smell the faint scent of incense. It seemed that someone had been praying to the god only a few hours prior to his arrival.

He could sense the power radiating from the lyre. Soon he and his sister would have absorbed all of its power thus strengthening themselves, but it wouldn't stop there. There were other planets they would steal artifacts from and absorb their powers as well, and Melody was only the first stop.

Approaching the stand that held the lyre the man began to assess the strength of the magical barrier that surrounded the lyre. "Ouch!" He yanked his hand back after receiving a shock. He began to murmur a chant under his breath. He could feel the barrier weakening and then shatter.

It was all too easy. Taking the lyre from its place he tucked it under his arm. He slipped out of the temple just as easily as he had slipped in and disappeared into the night.

Musa bolted upright in bed, her body drenched in sweat. Something was wrong, but what was it?

"You okay." Riven her boyfriend rolled over in the bed placing his hand on hers. He had felt her jump in her sleep. He looked into her deep navy colored eyes. Though she tried to conceal it, he could sense that something was wrong.

Looking around her room everything appeared to be fine and nothing seemed out of order. "Yeah I'm fine." She lied. She then laid back down and nestled herself into his chest. She tried her best to ignore the feeling of anxiety that had overcome her and get some sleep, but every fiber of her being was telling her something wasn't right.

So what did you think? Reviews are always welcome.
