It was a clear night. There was nothing that could stop Prince Noctis Caelum from looking out over the majestic city of Tenebrae. From his vantage point, he could see everything in Tenebrae. One sight in particular had caught his interest that night. A young woman he had known before: Princess Stella Fleuret. The two had made acquaintances and were now discussing certain myths and legends, as they had been for some time.

"So, how long have you been able to see the star of the goddess?" Stella asked in her kind, music-like voice. Her long blond hair swished around as she moved around the prince. Her deep purple eyes were fixated on Noctis' dark blue as a sweet smile grew on her flawless face.

"Since I was young," Noctis responded, trying to seem as uninterested as possible. He did enjoy Stella, but he had come to the balcony to escape the crowds of the festivities, not to converse with someone. But he had no choice but to talk with Stella, as she was not letting him leave.

"How about you?"

"Same. As long as I can remember I have been able to see it."

He and Stella shared the same fate. The Goddess of Death had marked them as special, allowing them unimaginable powers but at the cost of their lives. Death would be the inevitable end for the two. "Then, when do you think the goddess will call you?"

"I'm not sure, but I would like to think that it could happen at anytime."

The prince was about to respond when the sound of piano notes crossed his ear.

La Do Fa. La Do Fa. La Do Fa. La Do Fa.

He knew that tune. It was a song that he had heard so many times as a little boy. Its name escaped him though. But its sound was hypnotizing. His mind became filled with images of events he could not comprehend: the burial of a friend, the branding of a traitor, the discovery of a life changing truth. All the images seemed to be emotional but he had no idea who the people in these visions were.

"Noctis? Are you feeling well?" Stella asked.

Noctis continued to gaze away from the blond woman. All that he focused on was where the location of the song was coming from.

La Do Fa. La Do Fa. La Do Fa. La Do Fa.

"Noct?"

"St...Stella,' the prince finally awaking from his stupor, "do you hear the sound of a piano?"

"I...I don't know any..."

"Sh. Listen."

Stella tried to listen harder, trying to pinpoint the sound that Noctis was hearing.

So, Re so, Fa. So, Re so, Fa.

"I hear a piano. But the only piano is on the second floor ballroom, but..."

Not waiting, Noctis quickly walked out of the balcony area, down the metal stairs, making a distinctive echoing sound with each step he took. The steady beats of his shoes were muffled by a higher, quicker pitter-patter of Stella's high heeled shoes. Even though Noctis was walking without breaking a sweat or changing his pattern in breathing, Stella was having some trouble keeping up with the prince.

So, Re so, Fa. So, Re so, Fa.

As Noctis reached the second floor, he noticed a large gathering of guests and the gradual loudness of the piano. That had to be where the song was coming from. All sorts of people in an array of garments, gowns, and suites were seen. Still ignoring Stella, who had just caught up with him, the prince moved forward.

Approaching a rather large woman in a black glitter dress, he tapped the woman on her shoulder. "Excuse me, do you know who is playing the piano?"

"I have no idea. She just showed up and started playing. Lovely song isn't it." The woman replied.

He finally reached the edge of the crowd and saw what he wanted to see. The piano Stella had been talking about was big, onyx grand piano. It was so polished that he could see the great chandelier hanging above the piano. He then moved to the side of the crowd in order to get a better look at the player. It was indeed a woman, with shoulder length hair, that was slung to one side. Her shoulder was bare, all for a simple silver necklace that appeared to glitter in the refraction crystal light of the chandelier, showing pale, delicate skin. Other than that, he could make out no more details. But they did not need these minor facts. All that mattered was the sound of the piano.

After three more minutes, the song ended. The whole room erupted in applause and cheers. People were screaming 'brava'. A small smile crossed the prince's face. Stella was beaming with joy. The mystery player finally looked up, revealing a pair of light blue eyes and a blushing face. As the crowd continued to applaud the player, she stood up, revealing a long scarlet gown as she carefully bowed to the crowd. She remained standing as guests swarmed forward to greet the mysterious performer. Noctis stood stationary, waiting until the group had dissipated. Stella had decided to leave Noctis and converse with the woman.

Noctis watched as Stella and the woman greeted each other and began talk. The sounds of Stella's giggles began to echo in his ear. He looked up to see the two in a feverish conversation as if they had been sisters. The talking stopped as Noctis saw the two walking hurriedly towards him.

"Noctis," Stella spoke feverishly, "you have to meet Lightning. Noctis this is Lightning. Lightning this is Noctis Caelum."

Trying not to blush or loose his nerves, Noctis extended his hand and shook Lightning's black gloved hand. Her grip was very firm, but steady.

"Hello Noctis," Lightning spoke. Her voice was not as feminine as Stella, but seemed full of intelligence. She seemed to know how to command people. Noctis was taken aback by the voice.

"What song was that?" he asked out of curiosity

"Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27.2. The Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven."

"That's it. Your playing was lovely. I could hear it from the fourth floor."

"Oh, I'm sorry if I was disturbing..."

"No, no it was not a problem at all. It was wonderful. It...reminded me of...certain events." That was all the prince could think of to describe the images he saw in his mind.

"Me too. I always hope that I will remember events and people that I have forgotten."

"I see," Noctis was fascinated by Lightning. She seemed to be from another place or time, perhaps even wiser than he was. Her aqua eyes seemed filled with millions of tiny mysteries that he could loose himself in. Noctis was enchanted by them.

Stella must have also seen that Noctis was engrossed with Lightning. "Well, I think I'll leave you two alone, if that is alright."

Noctis turned to face Stella. "Oh, thank you Stella. It was a pleasure seeing you again." The sound of her high heels echoed on the marble floor. As they faded away, Noctis turned back to Lightning, back into the small puzzles that filled those crystal eyes.
