Prologue
A small girl entered an empty old room. It had been her late grandfather's study. She softly closed the door behind her and proceeded to look around. She had not been in there for quite some time but it still looked as she remembered. Her long ebony hair trailed behind her as she walked over to a bulky desk and placed a small case on top of it. She stared at the case for only a moment before she opened it to reveal an expensive looking violin. The girl removed the instrument and its bow, took a deep breath, and began to play a soft melody. She played this particularly so no one would hear and interrupt her. She played for a few minutes when abruptly, she stopped. Standing in the same position, as if trying to force herself to continue, she let out a sigh. She lowered her arms to her sides, the violin in one hand and the bow in the other. The tiny girl simply stood there thinking when she suddenly turned her head.
Across the room she saw an old and very impressive looking piano. She stared at it blankly for a while before she put her instrument back into its case. The girl walked over to the piano and ran her fingers over the dusty top in remembrance. She sat down on the stool, opened the key cover, and placed the tips of her fingers onto the keys. "What are you doing in here?" inquired a voice, startling her. Her fingers fumbled on the keys, making an odd tune. The girl scowled and snapped, "Ariel, don't sneak up on me!" It was a tall young boy. He smiled and sat beside her on the piano's stool. "Oh, shush!" Ariel hushed her with a charming grin and continued to poke fun at his sister, "I did nothing of the sort." She removed her fingers from the keys. The boy questioned playfully, "What's the matter, weren't you about to play?" She looked at him somberly then back at the keys. The girl placed her pale fingers back onto the keys and began to play. It was Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. She played it beautifully but it was not long before her fingers fumbled again. "Relax, relax." Ariel cooed as he placed his own fingers on the keys and suggested, "Like this." He carried on the sonata were she left off. The girl smiled softly at him and joined in. They played the famous song on the piano together, in perfect harmony.
