Chapter 1 – The Festival
Alle held her bow high as she prepared to strike down a note, her pose holding strength and grace. This was her time; the music began as Alle's eyes closed. She took in the moment the take in the sound, crisp, clean but delicate. Slowly speeding up with each passage, a true masterpiece. The song went on for what felt like an eternity but quickly ended in an instant. Silence rang throughout the theater and she stood holding her Violin by her side, bowing as claps and cheers surrounded her, it was her first time on stage in front of a live audience. She wondered. How did she even make it this far in her schooling still so young? The lights faded, and the curtains closed. Her mind was quickly filled with thoughts of all the people who supported her throughout her life. Cheering her on and telling her to never give up on her dreams. This made her smile brightly.
She sighed, listening to the sounds of people leaving from the other side of the curtain. As the room went silent it signaled her to begin walking off stage, where she went to retrieve her violin case. Calmly walking past other performers who've already gathered their instruments and things ready to leave. She'd been the last performance of the night, the performance that signaled the end of the yearly fall music festival. A musician in training would always play the last act in honor of those dreams that have failed. Alle found her way to the band room gathering her items into her case and bag, shuffling back and forth between her bag and locker. Neatly packing away her things.
Just as she finished, a crash sounded through the band room drawing her attention towards an overturned chair and a young man. She watched as he muttered to himself, gathering his composure. As he looked around confused and dazed, dumbfounded to what had just happened. It was like he didn't even notice he'd tripped over the chair, his gaze falling on Alle with an angry glare that quickly faded into a cheerful, forgiving look. "Oh, hey there!" he began, "Haha-" he laughed awkwardly, "I didn't see you there."
"Umm, Hey you wouldn't happen to know what this place is, would you?" Looking around unknowingly of his surroundings, "I'm kinda lost." rubbing his knee and wincing but keeping a steady eye on Alle waiting for a reply. "The Zephyr musical theater." She finally said, "Ohh, A theater? Huh, That explains your fancy outfit." he looked around awkwardly, "Sooo, What's your name, Miss? Got to formally thank you." He said, Alle was about to reply when to boy rudely interrupted her, "Mine's Adagio Triad, Agio for short. Nice to meet you, miss."
"Allegro Crwth, You may call me Alle." A silence filled the room for a split-second, "I should get going," Alle said. "I have somewhere to be right about now." She said pressing against the band rooms exit door. "Was nice meeting you I guess."
"Uh, wait! Do you happen to know where-" he was cut off by the door slamming shut, Agio sighed rubbing his neck "Man."
