Chapter 3: Angel of music
Sometime later during the after gala celebration happening backstage as everyone was excited as they drank and partied at the success of the dance as Key was guiding Andrephelus through the crowd searching for her husbands and for Stolas but Andre stopped to talk to a few people as Kaya saw her husbands waving her over as they worked to help look for Stolas as they wondered down a hallway past a couple who were kissing passionately as Drago rolled his eyes as Ussop play slapped him as they continued down.
Down in a chapel area Stolas was kneeling in front of a table with a picture of his father Pidemon and lighting a few candles, once done he knelt there in silence for his father before a voice broke the silence
Voice: Brava, brava, bravissima
The voice echoed through the chapel reberating as Kaya, Drago and Ussop approached the chapel seeing the owl,
Kaya: Stolas…Stolas
Voice: Stolas
Stolas didn't hear Kaya calling his name as a echo seemed to cause him to look up but he returned to watch the candles as Kaya, Ussop and Drago approached him.
Ussop: where in the world have you been hiding? Really you were perfect
Kaya gently took Stolas hand.
Kaya: we only wish we knew your secret who is your great tutor?
"You were indeed amazing, who taught you how to sing so beautifully" asked Drago as Stolas looked at them "Ussop when your adopted mother and your mother in law brought me her to live here, whenever I come down here alone…" said Stolas softly
(Flashback)
Bella was escorting a young Stolas into the opera house. Moments later the little owl was kneeling in front of the table praying.
Stolas vo: to light a candle for my father…a voice from above
Suddenly he looked up as he heard something, moments later he wakes up in bed and looked around in confusion as he heard something again
And in my dreams…he was always there
And years ago before Stolas was orphaned and lived in the opera house, he and Andrephelus were standing at Pidemons bedside
You see as my father played dying he told me I would be protected by a angel
"An angel of music" said Stolas to the three some "Stolas…do you believe? Do you think the spirit of your father is coaching you?" Asked Drago as there were angels of diffrent type but a angel of music…could there "Who else my freinds, who" he said.
Stolas: Father once spoke of an angel I used to dream he'd appear
Now as I sing I can sense him *Presses a hand to his chest*
And I know he's here *Looks around in the chapel* Here in this room
He calls me softly somewhere inside hiding
Somehow I know he's always with me
He is the unseen genius
Ussop and his mates were worried for Stolas such a dream of a teacher could it be true and it worries them.
Ussop: Stolas you must have been dreaming, stories like this cant come true
Kaya *Taking Stolas hands gently* Stolas you're talking in riddles and its not like you
Stolas: *being lead out of the chapel by Drago* Angel of music guide and guardian grant to me your glory (Drago and Ussop: who is this angel)
Stolas and Kaya: This angel of music hide no longer
Secret and strange angel
Stolas: he's with me now
Drago (feeling Stolas hands which felt more cold on his sales) your hands are cold
Stolas: All around me
Kaya (Gently touches Stolas cheeks): your face Stolas its white
Stolas: it frightens me
Kaya, Ussop and Drago: Dont be frightened
Gently Ussop takes Stolas hand as he, Kaya and Drago guided Stolas to the prima donnas room as Husk listened to this and took a sip of his whiskey.
Moments later in the theater there were thousands of admirers mostly gay males swarming the prima Donas room as Bella lead Stolas in "No! No! All of you back!" She barked as she shut the door with a sigh but smiled at Stolas "You did very well my dear" she said gently as she picked up a red rose with a black and red ribbon with a bead of a red skull tied around it with no thorns on it as she gave it to Stolas as he gently smiled "He is pleased with you" she said as Stolas nodded happy to know his teacher who taught him so much was happy with his performance. Bella also gave him a letter "I was asked to give you this" said Bella as Stolas took the letter "Thank you madam Bella" he said as Bella walked out as he opened the letter and examined the letter puzzled "A red shawl, the attic, little celestial" he read confused yet it felt familiar.
Outside the room Andrephelus approached Lucifer and who noticed him "Ah Andrephelus I think we made quite the discovery with " said "Perhaps we can present him to you " suggested Lucifer "I appreciate *Takes the bouquet that was holding* to visit him unaccompanied, thank you sirs" he said with a bow as he entered the room "It would appear that they met before" observed "Indeed dear cousion" said Lucifer agreeing as there seemed to be some blood between the two bird demons.
Authors note: looks like there is mystery abound with the so called angel of music and history between Stolas and Andrephelus.
Next chapter Andre helps Stolas remanence about there old childhood crushes together though Stolas heart seems set on his mysterious teacher as his teacher spirits Stolas away through the mirror to his layer of music
