Axel's POV
I just returned from the lawn when I heard my dad talking to one of the big families of Euphonia.
"Deal?" father's response
"Deal" answers the Violina Great Grand Master
'Deal? What deal? '
"Oh son, you're here" father said
"Father!", I said to him
'I can not even understand what's happening. Why is the Grand Master of Violina is here?'
"Quite handsome boy, I need to go now. Goodbye," says Violina Great Grand Master
"Goodbye," replied father
The guest went away.
"Father, why is he here?" I asked
"You know son, there are things that you don't have to know because you are a child" father chuckles
"But dad--" I added
"No but then, you're still a kid, you only need to practice using your new magic discovery." father's promise
I took a sigh.
"Affirmative" I replied
Third Person's POV
The tears of the King raged because of the news he heard.
"It can't be! No! My little princess..", the King mourns
The king hurled his staff.
"We're truely sorry for Princess Mystica's death. What's your plan, dear King?" says Weide (weyd)
"STRIKE DOWN THE LYRICA, KILL ALL OF THEM!" mixed cry and mournful response of the King
Suddenly, the generals of the army of the best magicians approach the king.
"Dear King, (bow) I would like to inform you that the Violina will take care the fall of Lyrica. Let's prepare ourselves for the upcoming conquest of Euphonia. They will start at the night in which they will be introduced a new member of Lyrica, this is a perfect sneak attack to do." said General Acel (eysel)
"Well, we're going to take them down and let them taste the bitter of loss" replies the King
Via's POV
'Why? Why is it coming out? I'm trying to get a voice ah~~ What if I don't get my voice? Thus, I lost my violin. I will bring shame to my family. Then .... '
My tears rose dramatically.
'How come? What should I do? Maybe my Mom and Dad mistaken to say that I'm gonna be the best Lyrica for the whole generation. Maybe I'm the most stingy, worthless and a pest'
"Oh, there you are,"
I turned behind me and saw Mrs. Carol. I immediately wiped my tears.
I used sign language to communicate.
(Mrs. Carol, may I help you?)
Mrs Carol joined me in sitting on this side bench.
Mrs. Carol is a family member of Lyrica, but she does not know how to sing. Sad to say, but she became a maid in this mansion. All of the talentless Lyrica were all counted as a lower one.
"I saw this in your cousin's room, Rhyme, maybe you needed it so I brought it" she said.
My eyes grew larger because of what I saw. I saw the violin that was given me by my dear mom.
'Mrs. Carol is very kind and knows that I need it in everyday life'
Sign language
(Thank you very much. I was looking for it the whole time, I thought it was already gone.)
"Is there a problem, dear?" she questioned
Sign language
(I have no talent. I do not know what to do)
"You are wrong, dear. You have indeed talent, you know. At first I thought you were singing but whrn I got closer, you are playing the violin. I love it when I hear a mix of good voice and a violin" says Mrs. Carol
I was shocked by what Mrs. Carol said. So I smiled.
Sign language
(Really?)
"Yes. You know what, if you're going to show the talent have, it should be the one who gives you the fun and it's well-being to your heart. You know, your unique talent will rise our family, I mean, your family" she said with a sad tone
I immediately embraced her.
Sign Languague
(Mrs. Carol, sometimes it's not because of the talent who can tell if you are a member of the family or not but being part of it in doing such a responsible and dependable things because we are one. We have one blood, one flesh and one common goal)
She embraced me back with some tears in her eyes.
"Do your best" she whispered to me
I smiled and has my tears falling into my eyes. I have to seize Mrs Carol's warm embrace for me.
'It's been a long time since I felt this kind of hug'
We were surprised by the loud voice calling me suddenly.
"Via!!" Aunt shouted in the distance
"Come on, your Aunt is looking for you and your presentation is near. Come on and show the Euphonia what you've got" she said.
I nodded and ran to aunt Diva.
"Now Via, I want to know what your song is gonna be. Years ago, I was sang with my good brother, your father, the Unchained Melody and all the mansions had to clap and cheer for us" Aunt discussed
'They're really amazing. I hope that's the same for me. Unchained Melody? It's one of the most popular tunes. Only rare Lyrica clan could sing it. It's impossible for me to reach it out.'
"I want to know what song you picked" said aunt
I pulled out my violin out of my back
"Ahh, very well, so you'll play with your violin. Well done! I'm going to say to the Orchestra that they will only give the highlights to the play. " said aunt as she walked away
'(Sighs) It's so close'
Suddenly, the door of the room opened in front of me and exposing my three young grandmothers.
"Come Via, are you ready for your make-over?" Grandma Key chuckled
"Is this your first time make-up? Well you're lucky because we're going to make you the beautifullest for the first time" stated grandma Vespera
'Did she just say beautifullest?'
"Yey! Finally, its your time to shine, Via" added grandma Ottava
And they rolled me to reach the make-up room. It's making me dizzy, though.
"One, two, one two three" counted by grandmother Vespera
"Start of the concert!" posted by Grandma Key
They sing songs while they are in line.
'The Harmony between the three of them is good. How I wish that I'm like them because they're si talented.'
(After a few hours)
"Now, look at the mirror" says grandmother Vespera
I was sitting in the mirror and look upon it.
Sign Language
(Is it me?)
'Is it really me?'
I held my cheek with my two hands I held my face.
'I can not believe. Previously, I looked like a peasant maid and now I'm a princess'
"Well, of course," Grandmother Key smiled
"You know, we're proud of ourselves, we've just seen how we've worked out our make-ups. And the result is fine although it is our also first time" grandma Ottava said with matching tears in the eyes
The conversation was interupted by the one who opens the door.
"Via--- (gasp) Wow, your so lovely today" said Forte
He's the one I love the most in all of my cousins. He is the son of uncle Beethoven, my father's brother. He was cheerful and kind that he had a beautiful wife that belongs to the family of Pianoire.'
Sign languague
(Thank you)
"Lets go." he said
But before we left, I embraced my three grandparents.
Sign languague
(Thank you for everything)
I ran to Forte and went straight to the back stage.
The sound of heartbeat is so loud that I see the people to whom I will showcase my talent.
'Crap! I'm so nervous that can not feel my fingers! '
I was more nervous when I saw him looking at me.
"Well, that's just the first time, after a minute when you performed, it's going to disappear, I feel that in here too, haha, so lil sis, come on. I know you can do it" said Kuya and tickled me
I just saluted him as a response.
"And now, we will introduce one of our family member with talent that will also be shown and will be offer for you tonight. Lets all welcome her, Ms. Via Lyrica! " said the announcer
I'm nervous, but I have to do this. So I have played with my heart to the people, my family and my friends.
I take a deep breath and took out my violin.
I close my eyes as remember my parents while bowing the violin.
[Violin Playing]
Rock-a-bye, baby
On the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
If the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
But mama will catch you
Cradle and all~~
My whole heart sank and I went to a famillar place.
"Mom, dad!", I said and I hugged Mom and Dad
"Oh baby, you have a voice," says Papa
"I miss you so much", I said in tears
"We also missed our little Via" Mom said
"We love you very much," Papa said
"I love you so much," I said happyly

Third Person's POV
All people are stopped by their actions and were paralyzed by the unique sweet melody coming from Via's violin. Others get into their tears, others are mumbled and so as the crying ones, as well as Violina are stopped in their attacks.
"Who's that girl?" asked Vior
Vior was the youngest leader of Violina. At the age of 12, he now holds the armed forces of the Violina family.
"She's Via Lyrica, I just saw her once in a show like this" Opus replies
"How interesting! " Vior said he was looking at Via
'How come she was better than me in playing violin? With the combination of a voice and the sound of the violin, how did she produced that kind of perfect melody?'-said Vior to himself
"After her performance, we will ambush, is that clear?" Vior said
"Yes, General", they response
