The Awakening

This story is not about a charismatic guy that wants to be a hero.

Not about a silent guy that wants to repay the world for his past sins.

Not about a chosen one.

And certainly not about an imminent darkness that must be stopped.

I won't negate that this story has all of the above and more, but this story is about a girl, her powers bestowed to her by her mother, and her struggle to find her once more. This is the story of Via Melody, Jack of all trades, master of all.

{year 1495 A.G. Melody manor}

Via was a 5 years old girl, with a waist-long, violet, straight hair, that covered her right eye. The color of her left eye was red. She was a really shy girl that could only talk with her mother. Maria Melody, the mother of Via, was a tall woman with a waist-long, blond, wavy hair. She had red eyes, and a guitar on her lap. Right now both of them were on the living room talking. Via had been crying until just a moment ago.

Via- mom... I-I tried to make new friends with a trick I-I created... you know that I can't talk in front of other people... and I used my magic to form letters to talk. I thought it was cool... but, but... they just called me freak!

Maria- *sigh* Via, you know how I told you that we are special, right?

Via- y-yes...

Maria- well, we are really special, and those kids, are just normal kids that will end up working on a pub, or on the market. You have a brilliant future ahead just because you can use magic to protect the world. So those kids surely are just jealous.

Via- (that didn't look like jealousy...) ...

Maria- don't look to me with that look of ''that didn't look like jealousy...''. I'm sure it was just that. And if it wasn't , another thing you must remember is that the humanity fear all that is unknown to them. And yes, we are included in that.

Via- but- but why do I feel like a foreigner in this place? Why do they think of us as freaks?

Maria- you'll see how when you go to the ToMh School you won't feel like a foreigner again. And they are just kids. Remember, even if they are cruel, they can't protect themselves. That's why we do what we do.

Via- that's still 5 more years until the school.

Maria- yes, yes it is. Now let me help you calm and sleep.

Via got really happy when she heard that.

Via- can you play The Lullaby of the Green Field?

Maria- of course. Now let's get you to the bed.

Both mother and child went to Via's room, and when she was on the bed, Maria begun to play the lullaby. She was a master magical musician, and her songs had a stronger effect the more difficult the song was. She was one of the most famous support M-Human under the name of Melodica. As she was playing the song, magic could be seen on all of the room, and Via was feeling more and more sleepy and calmed.

Maria- my little girl, I'm sorry to do it like this, but I'm going to use my best song on you before I go.

Via- w-wha...t...? m...om?

Via finally passed out, and her mother begun a different song, a really hard one.

{-----------------------------}

All the people on the village they were knew about Maria's power as she had healed them with songs more than once. But all of them were curious about why she had been playing a really difficult song for the last day. It had begun on the night, and all the next day had passed but she wasn't stopping.

Inside the manor, Maria was sweating a lot. She had been playing the song for the last 18 hours, but it was a 24 hours song. Via was still sleeping as the magic her mother used was for a day and a half of sleep. The room was filled with magic, and all of it was entering the daughter.

{6 hours later}

Maria finally stopped the song with a final note, and immediately passed out on the floor. Maria had been on the battlefield more than once with a team of M-Humans. She had been playing moral boosting songs, and healing songs nonstop for days and wouldn't pass out. So for her to pass out for a day worth of song, the magic she used had to be absurdly powerful.

{12 hours later}

Via got up, sleepy, and saw that she was alone on the room. That was normal, but the silence on the manor wasn't. She felt like her head was going to explode, and could only sit before looking again to the room. It was her room, but the posters and wardrobes were broken, and she saw that the chair her mother was last night (she thought it was last night) was destroyed.

Via- w-what...? what happened?

[I can answer to that!]

The voice startled Via, who immediately stopped talking and begun to search for the robotic child's voice.

[I'm not in the room, silly! I'm in you head.]

Via- !! (so that's why it was so painful...)

[Indeed! Merging with your brain and magic was difficult and painful. You are soooo lucky to have a mother like Maria! She worked even more on the song to make it less painful.]

Via- (Mom! Where is she?)

[I'm afraid that she gave me just one message before going out. ''I won't be able to continue looking for you, so I'll give you this power hoping that it will be a good company. If you want to find me again, you'll have to work hard on ToMh School. Good luck, my daughter.'' and that's the message!]

Via- (s-she's not here anymore...?)

Then Via begun to cry for what felt like eternity.

[one hour later]

Via- sniff... w-what I'm going to do...

[that's why she created me! I'll take care of you!]

Via- ... (you will? Who are you...?)

[the name's Classy I'm the Class System!]

Via- (Class... System...?)

[yes! Your mother created me with her most powerful song! A full 24 hours of dangerously hard song.]

Via- (24... hours...)

Via's stomach begun to growl a lot. And her face got as red as her eyes.

[good! This is a good opportunity to see the Class System in action!]
