A/N: Here's a story which I turned into a fanfic for my friend, Daxelli-san :D It's about Shade and Svida and how did they exactly get into the church~
The story will be a bit bloody and tears will be shed in many places since it's... sad (well, I'm much meaner than Daxelli-san but that's why I want to make it so sad *evil grin*)
And about the song in here: It is written by me and I imagined it so that there's two different melodies in it. First, third and fifth verses have a happy melody, like the bagpipe-melody in Yield (by Sound Horizon) and second and fourth verses have a bit sadder melody like in Utsukushiki mono (by Sound Horizon again :D)
But now, please read on~
A loud crash could be heard from the living room. Right after that, Kanon could hear a child crying. She supposed that it was Svida who was crying, since Shade was supposed to be next to her. Well, she really couldn't count on that, since the twins looked just like each other. She really hoped that they would start looking a bit more different when they grew up. Otherwise either of them would need to dye their hair. Or then Svida should start using dresses. And neither of them would be allowed to go to the military academy. Kanon walked to the living room and saw Svida crying in the middle of it.
"What is it, Svida?" Kanon asked and knelt down next to the crying child.
"Dad's precious vase…" Svida sobbed. "I accidentally slipped and it broke…"
Oh dear… Kanon thought. Maybe I can use a bit magic this time… Just for her…
"It's alright", Kanon said. "I can try to repair it."
"But it's already broken", Shade said with an amazed face. "How can you repair it?"
"I'll show you two a tiny magic trick", Kanon said and smiled. She moved her right hand around the broken pieces of the vase. Slowly it started to rebuild itself and soon it was like it would never have been broken.
"Wow!" both Shade and Svida exclaimed. "How did you do that?"
"It's magic", Kanon said and smiled widely. "And now we need to do the next magic trick. We need to get you two to sleep."
"No!" the twins exclaimed. "We still want to play!"
"But I won't have enough time to tell you a good goodnight's story", Kanon said and tilted her head. "Are you sure that you don't want to hear it?"
"I really want to hear it…" Svida mumbled. "I really want to hear it, Shade-nii… Can't we listen to it? We can play tomorrow too…"
"Okay then", Shade said.
"That's good!" Kanon laughed. "Why don't you go to change your clothes so you can go sleep after I've told my story to you?"
"Okay!" both Shade and Svida exclaimed ran to their rooms to change into their night clothes.
"I really like them", Kanon said after the doors to the twins' rooms slammed shut. "What a cute pair of twins Scarlet has…"
"We're ready!" the twins exclaimed after few minutes.
"Okay, okay", Kanon laughed. "I'm coming!"
Kanon walked to Svida's room and sat down on her bed. Svida and Shade sat on her both sides and looked at her. She laughed a bit and turned off the lights in the room. Svida shrieked a bit and Shade stiffened. Kanon chuckled and soon the room was filled with tiny dots that looked like stars. Both of the twins looked so amazed that Kanon really wanted to record their faces for Scarlet. Kanon moved her left hand and soon the room was filled with quiet music. While the music flowed softly, Kanon started singing a quiet story to the twins.
"In a faraway land,
there lived a queen.
The queen was beautiful indeed,
but her heart was made of ice.
For centuries the Ice Queen continued to rule over her kingdom of ice
and no one could stop her.
All the brave souls of the country used to wither away
because of the eternal winter.
After three hundred years,
a young boy met the queen.
The boy smiled to the queen,
and said that she was warm.
The Ice Queen did not understand the young traveler's warm words at all
for she had never met a boy like him.
She asked and begged the boy to explain his previous words for her
and he did with a wide smile
In a faraway land,
there lived a queen.
The queen was still beautiful,
but now her hearts was made of warmth."
When Kanon finished her song, she saw that Svida had fallen asleep and Shade was just barely awake. Kanon told Shade to go to his room quietly. Shade did obediently as Kanon had told him while Kanon put Svida in her bed. Kanon smiled at Svida and tiptoed back downstairs where her book was waiting for her. She listened quietly for a while to make sure that the twins were sleeping peacefully. When she was finally sure about that, she sighed and opened her book.
"Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day too", she smiled.
And this was the prologue of Shade and Svida's story. While I agonize over how to write the next chappy, please tell me your opinions :D
And give me ideas for Hämnd D
