Eternal Guardian
"Your soul is a beautiful thing, child," replied the grave man's voice, "and I thank you. No emperor ever received so fair a gift. The angels wept tonight."
Excerpt from Chapter 2; The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
Indeed, no emperor has ever received so precious, so delicate, so immortal a treasure as you have given me. A voice such as yours, one that moves even the heavenly hosts to weep, must be protected.
Such a priceless jewel must be guarded!
And guard it I shall.
You are not meant for the lowly man, my dear; perish the thought!
Do not give your pearls to the common and the immoral. Those behind their selfish, smiling masks—do not submit to their paper-thin facades.
No, your golden gift is meant for more than the vulgar filth of this world. Truly, you are meant to be heard by higher powers and by them alone! And I, your Angel of Music, will take you there!
Yes, yes, of course!
Together, you and I, as spiritual kindred, will rise above the smothering sea.
May you soar as you are destined!
I see you not as what you are, but as what you can become.
As for the mortals who will pursue you with their arrows fletched with greed, I will crush them with winged vengeance. Scorching fires will rain down upon them and stifling ashes will suffocate their skies.
None will stop your ascent, my child.
I will make certain of it.
