The melody came to her all on it's own. Her slender fingers strummed and fingered the frets with ease. Such a gentle melody, almost a baby's lullaby.
Such a wonder, music.
It can calm the very soul of a being. It could enrage them. Enlighten them. Over come them with sorrow. And change the whole course of their destiny.
And yet, there are many who see music as a nuisance. What could have happened to them, to warp their image of music forever? Abuse? Insult? Or another trauma that we just can't figure out? Whatever it may be, we can only hope, that their lives are still full of beauty, as those who enjoy music have.
What could it be, that propelled this young heart, to play such a broken, soft, song that only those who at least have the resemblance of a heart that was so pure could understand? She played the strings of binding life with music. Eyes closed. A smile across her not pretty, but pleasant to look at, face.
Even though her song was of hurt, it sill made her happy. It was music, it told a story.
She knew, that at the near end of this song, it would be happy. At the end of the many struggles, that everything would be okay.
Twelve human figures floated through the nothingness they were born in. Thoughts of nothing running through their nothing created mind. They were doing nothing, but floating, waiting for nothing to happen.
How did they end up in nothing? Where was the nothing to take them? Could they escape from the nothing they were? Did they deserve this horrid fate? Was their destiny at it's end, or at it's beginning?
A light, dull and small, seemed to peek on at them. Somehow, it smiled, crooked and cruel. "Yes, you are the ones I am seeking...Allow me to take you away from this nothing, let me lead you, and we shall accomplish the great. And you shall gain back that precious loss that consumed you all greatly."
The leader of the group of the 12 beings of nothing glowered at the mysterious light. "What is it you hope to succeed in, before we are to agree to your offer."
The light's imaginary eyes brighten. "To dominate, to take back the world in which I was exiled from. To make them suffer as I have. It does not matter to me if they were the ones who sinned against me or not. I wish for revenge, and acquire help from those of the lost."
"...If we must, to obtain our hearts. We will assist you."
"Then, I shall take you out of this prison, and into the world of Song. You first mission is to gather information, as to how much all has changed from my time, long ago."
The light disappeared, as did the twelve nobodies along with it
