I don't own Vocaloid.
The forest got gradually darker as Miku walked. Sunlight still streamed through the leaves, but the trees became closer together and the ceiling of leaves thicker to the point where she was quite glad for the strange glow the pixies were emitting.
It wasn't long before they started seeing tiny houses on the ground and in holes in the trees.
"This is where pixies and little faeries live," Len explained.
"See that?" Rin flew up into the air, gesturing to the tip of an elaborate building silhouetted against the blue sky. "That's the faerie queen's castle. The elves live in the forests between here and there."
"Elves?" Miku frowned. "Like Santa's elves?"
"Santa? Who's that?" Len asked.
"He has a bunch of short fat things called elves that help him," Miku explained.
Rin giggled. "Short? Fat? Luka-sama would find that amusing."
Miku decided not to ask any more questions. They walked for about twenty minutes through the forest, her dress catching on branches, before she began to see larger houses. Some were in the trees, some underground, some standing up like human houses. They were made of wood and leaves and mud.
The twins flew up to one of the larger houses. There was a relatively small area on the ground, but a ladder led up from a hole in the roof to a larger building resting on the branches of the tree.
"Wait here," Rin told her, and she and her brother flew through a crack in the leaves that served as window curtains and into the house.
They emerged soon after.
"You may enter," Rin told her. Miku walked through the door, which was framed by wildflowers, and into the house.
The house was unlike any Miku had ever been in. The dirt floor had been evened out, and a soft grass carpet covered half of the main room. Chairs of wood and moss and leaves sat in the corners, and there was a low stone and wood table near the chairs.
In one of these chairs was a young woman just a few years older than Miku. At least, she assumed so-she wouldn't be surprised if even the little twins were a thousand years old. You never knew with faeries.
The woman's hair was pale pink and fell to her waist. The front sections were pulled forward with flowers twisted in. Her eyes were blue, though a lighter shade than those of the pixies. Her skin was so pale it was almost white, and pointed ears stuck out from her hair. Miku could safely say she was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her life.
"Most people think that," she said in a soft voice. Miku's eyes widened. Had she just read her mind?
"How did you...?" she asked, blushing furiously.
"Don't worry, I can't read minds," the elven woman smiled. "Humans are just so terribly easy to read." She stood from her seat, mint green gown falling to her feet. "Now, why are you here?"
"She wants to go home," Len told her.
"Yeah," Rin confirmed.
"That can be arranged," she said casually, twirling a flower in her long fingers.
"I knew it," Len exclaimed.
"Luka-sama can do anything!" squeaked his sister, spinning in circles in the air. Luka smiled slightly.
"I wouldn't say that. In fact, I doubt that I myself would have the ability to even open the boundaries between her world and ours, let alone have someone cross them."
Rin stopped spinning and pouted. Len's wings drooped and he began to sink dejectedly toward the floor. Luka rolled her eyes.
"Do you know someone who can?" Miku asked shyly. She felt tiny and unimportant next to someone of such a higher species, not to mention someone so cool and collected and gorgeous. She didn't want to admit it, but she felt quite jealous of the elven woman.
"Yes. There is a girl who lives in a lake not too far from here who has studied the relationships of our parallel worlds for her whole life, which is quite a long time compared to how long you have lived, human. She should be able to at the very least point you in the right direction. I'm afraid I can't help you any more than that."
"I'm sorry, but did you just say she lives in a lake?" Miku asked.
Luka frowned, obviously not sure as to why that would confuse her. "Of course I did."
I wonder who they're meeting next? Will she help Miku? Keep in mind the only Vocaloids I will likely have in here are the 8 that came before Miki…I think? I get confused. The 8 that are the main characters in The Music Project; Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Gumi, Gakupo, Meiko, and Kaito; will be the characters in this. The other ones confuse me. I don't even know who's a "real" Vocaloid anymore. Thanks for reading!
