Scene 6: The Music of the Night
"I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne . . .
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music . . .
Music . . ."
The Phantom docked the boat and now stepped onto the cobble stone that signified his lair. Kairi looked around her astounded by the sight of the dungeon they now rested in. She litsened to his voice as she stepped onto the ground.

The Phantom docked the boat and now stepped onto the cobble stone that signified his lair. Kairi looked around her astounded by the sight of the dungeon they now rested in. She litsened to his voice as she stepped onto the ground.
"You have come here,
for one purpose,
and one alone . . .
Since the momentI first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me,
to serve me, to sing,
for my music . . .
My music . . ."
Something was covered in cloth, there was a bunch of tall objects along the walls that were covered in red tapiestries with golden tassels. This was kairi's first question, what was under them? Some type of torture device to go with the death that reeks this dungeon. Kairi stared at the red cloth as the Phantom continued to sing.
"Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses abandon their defences . . .
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour . . .
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender . . .
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night . . ."
Her gaze now fell upon something else as her ears now fiddled with the Phantom's music. It was a pipe organ, it seemed old and dusty but their were fresh written pages of music ontop of the keys. The long pipes that spits out the music played were a bit rusted, the mouths of the pipes were infested with spider webs and other decaying mildew.
"Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before . . ."
A the Heartless symbol on Kairi's chest eased into a dim glow. The Phantom approched her brushing a strand of crimson hair out of her face as he came to the end of the verse once more. Kairi's eyes illuminated as the boy touched her, his hand slowly going from her face to her shoulder. Too weak and tired to do anything the Phantom twisted Kairi around and put his arms around her. The trance like state never ceased, Kairi just fell prey to the boy's twisted charm...
"Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you . . .
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you . . .
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night . . ."
As the Phantoms voice continued to go on a roller coaster of high and low Kairi just stood there with her mouth open in awe. This feeling that had taken over here was so unberable she was going to burst. Strangly though she was tried, weak, and weary. The music wrapped around her binding her to this dreamlike state.
"Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul Take you where you long to be !
Only then can you belong to me . . ."
The Phantom slowly caressed Kairi's body as the spell of his song brainwashed Kairi into a state of serene peace. The girl closed her eyes feeling each touch vibrate on her fair white skin. The tingling sensation was enough to drive anyone wild but Kairi continued to just close her eyes and let the Phantom continue to calm her soul.
"Floating, falling,
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night . . ."
As the Phantoms last verse commenced he continued to touch Kairi and feel her warm skin. Unlike the cold skin the boy has; The Phantoms voice turned into a booming kind of sound which drowned Kairi's eardrums. With that final beat the princess finaly fell into the Phantoms arms. The boy lifted her and walked into a small cove with a gandala shaped bed. He gently put her atop of it, and covered her with the numerous blankets on it.
"You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night . . ."
Kairi slept as her dreams started evolving into wild melodious fantasies with the Phantom. The music, her voice, his voice, her touch, his touch...It was the best sleep she's had in her entire life...
