Chapter 1- Dawn
"Very good, Roxas!" Applauded his teacher who was his own half-brother, "…however your still lacking in that perspective of music. I can see it in your playing."
His name was Roxas,
Roxas Strife.
The blond teenager merely nodded in agreement and defeat. He laid down his beloved violin aligned down into his dark coloured case. He was quite frustrating due to the fact that he has yet to grasp the magic of music.
He relaxed his tense posture and leaned back like any other teenager and inquired coolly, "What does it takes then, Cloud?"
Cloud watched him and answered slightly annoyed manner, "I told you already, it's not something you learn off from others. Anyways, you need some rest; you have been practicing enough this past nights." Then turned away and walked over to the pile of music sheets laid on the side of his grand piano then shuffle them till it became a neat set, "Roxas, I'll allow you to take the school day off."
Roxas knew the reason.
'I have no intention to rest. I need that part to make me equal to you and…Sora. One day, I'll beat Sora Lionheart… We may share the same birthdays, but, we both live two different worlds. Where you are full and I am empty.'
He abruptly stood up grab his enclosed case from the floor and carried it out with him on his back beyond the door. The door was wide open which revealed a piece of dawning of the sky outside. The morning temperature contradicted to the heat with their house and naturally Cloud had to close the door. Without a doubt, Cloud knew where he was heading so Cloud doesn't need to fret as he watched the dawning through the window next to his piano.
'In order for Roxas to learn, he has to do it on his own. Come back soon…'
He climbed his way up his favourite hill and once he got there, he found his sanctuary. The hill which allows him to see the sky, the large tree with its majestic branches was foiled laminating leaves to shelter from weather and friendly nature who are willingly to offer him passion in music. There was no other place like his heaven, not anyone else's.
He decided to pull out his violin and he watched the dawning of a new day. Roxas wanted to greet the new life of another day.
'Good morning Twilight town…'
He started to play, a slow notes vibrated through the waltzing cool air as he took swayed occasionally. When it came to the climax of his improvised song, it was in time to the full break of the dawn before him, he deepened the dynamics of his violin and became more passionate. Every note flowed through him like a river which influenced his music to be almost like he was crossing an ocean.
Below his sanctuary was a shiny black limo driving past. The person inside took note of the melody he was hear from his car window and commanded his driver to stop suddenly. He closed his eyes listening to the flow of the song entering his life. It came from the top of the hill.
"This person is good but lacking in that area…" then this person asked the driver, "Can you wait for me here while I go to top of this hill."
"Yes, master whatever you say." The driver said in return.
The person next to him reminded, "Be back quickly because you have urgent appointment to attend to. Especially your former teacher will be cross."
"Ok, ok bro, let me have some freedom here." He said care-freely and exited the car with his violin case.
By the time Roxas ended his piece he was slightly overwhelmed and said aloud as if he was called the sun, "I'll call you 'Passion."
By the time his greetings were over, the golden globe before him glowed onto his sanctuary as some sort of sign of a greeting. It was magical…
But was that what he was searching for?
"I knew it, maybe it's not the things I'm doing now is improving me at all…Maybe more practice." Roxas admitted and noticed. Before he turned away, he heard something…
'Something of the same sound, something of the same but different…'
Roxas whipped around and took up his violin. He used his senses to track down the path to the source. Without another thought, he was very sure it came from behind this tree. However, he cannot see the player as his precious tree was very thick in its anatomy.
He walked around, he was getting closer…
The closer he got, the more beautiful it built up.
Once he spotted in the edge of the circumference of the stump, he saw a moving bow and a bit of its tuning tab head.
He saw this person; he was completely astounded till he was speechless. This person was the person he wanted to both see and compete.
"Sora Lionheart…" He whispered.
The brunette heard him from several steps apart, he slowed his play to a graceful end and he turned his head to Roxas. He smiled and said cheerfully, "Yes, I am Sora Lionheart. I heard a great deal about you, Roxas Strife."
'We have finally meet, Sora…'
'…and let our melody acknowledge who we are, Roxas.'
The two violinists have met and their lives have finally crossed…
Fifteen years they both have anticipated…
