Werewolf's Planet, Werewolf Empire Capital, Music Theatre, 9:00 a.m.

Werewolf Empire was famous for its music, and Werewolf Empire Capital was known as the Capital of Music. Many buskers held with passion for music and ambition of being a recognized musician, and came to Werewolf Empire Capital. In any corner of Werewolf Empire Capital, people would be entertained by buskers.

In Werewolf Empire Capital, musicians, singers and buskers gathered at Music Theatre. They came from different places, but came for the same reason. It's with a great pleasure that they came for Music Contest. Music Contest would be the stage for the most brilliant and the most famous musicians.

Outside Music Theatre, werewolf soldiers in armours, stood around Music Theatre. They would guarantee to keep public area in order and keep Music Theatre in safety.

Those musicians with invitation ticket would be allowed to let in. They showed their invitation ticket, and came in Music Theatre.

Inside Music Theatre where Music Contest would be held, it could be divided into the stage and audience area. The stage was garnished with different kind of neon lights with the background of the stars. The audience area could be divided into normal audience area for the public and exclusive audience area for important guests.

In exclusive audience area, William sat there, looking unto the stage, with the view of the stars. He waited with patience, expecting the queen's visit. He invited the most brilliant and the most famous musicians, and hosted Music Content. Everything he did, he did for the queen.

In queen's bedroom, there was a sleepy beauty in the crystal bed. The quilt would keep her warm, and the music box at the bedside table would keep her sleepy. When the first gleam of ray shone through window unto her bed. Sunshine tickled her face, and woke the sleepy beauty up.

The queen woke up from sweet dream, and came to the window. She leaned against window, looking unto distant mountain, with the view of thin fog. At this moment thin fog was yet to fade, but red sun had rose from mountain. Pink clouds at the skyline, witnessed red sun gently kissed mountain's forehead.

She opened a portal aside, walking inside, descending at Music Theatre, where the crowds were expecting the queen. She had discussed Vampire Empire's affairs, and after council of elders meeting, she had posted that Music Contest would be held at Music Theatre, and she would judge the contest.

"Long live, your majesty! Long live, your majesty! Long live, your majesty…"

The crowds yelled, praising the queen. The crowds were musicians, singers and buskers. They held with passion for music and loyalties to the queen. Every werewolf was available to fight for the queen. When they were not singing on the stage, they would fight for the queen on the battlefield. In the sea of crowds, William stood there, looking unto the queen.

'I know you love music, so I gather the whole empire's musicians here, and invite the most brilliant and the most famous musicians. I know you love the stars, so I garnish the stage with ten thousand and one neon lights, and neon lights would twinkle like the stars. I know you love roses, so I garnish the exclusive audience area with ten thousand and one roses, and roses would disperse fragrance in air.'

Morgana fluttered in the midair, looking unto the stage with the view of the stars. She landed at the central stage, looking unto the exclusive audience area with the view of ten thousand and one roses. She stood at the central stage, standing in the spotlight, looking upon the crowds in the audience area.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It's with a great pleasure that I announce Music Contest! Werewolf Empire is famous for its music, and Werewolf Empire Capital is known as the Capital of Music. Music Contest is not only the stage for musicians to perform their music, but also this is the stage for Werewolf Empire to perform our musical strength, international influence and cultural confidence." Morgana continued.

"I invite the most brilliant and the most famous musicians. They would perform their unique talent to entertain us, and the president William and I would judge the contest. May Music Contest be heard by the world! May us be entertained by the music! I'm here to announce that Music Contest is beginning!"

Morgana made a speech, announcing Music Contest. She stood in the spotlight, looking upon the crowds, feeling their passion for music. She watched upon those gentle and kind people, to feel their passion for music, ambition of being a recognized musician, longing for the stage and expectation for uncoming performances.

'Music Contest has attracted many musicians, singers and buskers. They hold with passion for music and ambition of being a recognized musician, and gather this stage from different places. Every great musician once was a beginner. Everybody with passion for music would be the future great musician.'

William who was a gentleman with black suit and stylish hair, he walked up the stage, walking toward the queen. He bowed to the queen, and bowed to the audience with gentleman-like manner. He stood in the spotlight, looking unto the queen who dressed in white gown with intricate pattern and gold lace.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It's been a great honor for me to invite the queen to judge Music Contest. I have heard a master spreading his sorrow in the moonlight. I have heard an impressive singer singing her delight in the daylight. I have heard a great musician performing his peace in the twilight. I'm gonna hear a brilliant pianist performing his music in the spotlight. Let's welcome this brilliant pianist, Liam!"

William made a speech, raising audiences' passions. He turned around, welcoming this brilliant pianist Liam. He made his way for Liam, walking back exclusive audience area. He sat by the queen's side, looking unto the stage.

'Liam is recognized as the most brilliant and the best pianist. He was born and abandoned on the ship named Mayflower. He was adopted and brought up by a gentle and kind sailor. By the time he was 6 years old, by chance he came in the captain's room, and performed the piano at the first time of his life. This casual chance changed his whole life.'

Liam who was a brilliant pianist, he sat at his piano, looking unto the audience with calmness. He was a brilliant young gentleman with brilliant talent and handsome appearance, but he was peaceful with everything. He put his pale and slender fingers between black and white piano keys.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I'm Liam. I don't know how to introduce myself, but you will know about me after hearing my music."

Liam introduced himself, looking upon the audiences. He sat at the piano in the stage, feeling people's cheering and his inner peace. People's cheering made his heart appear as if it was getting more peaceful. He put his pale and slender fingers between black and white piano keys, feeling his inner peace.

'I'm peaceful, because I won't be affected by the outside factors. I'm peaceful, because peace is one of characteristics for a great musician. I'm peaceful, because I'm gonna express myself by performing music.'

Liam sat at the piano in the spotlight, closing his eyes. He put his long and slender fingers between black and white piano keys, striking the piano keys. His fingertips danced between black and white piano keys. Music slipped through his fingers unto the air over the stage.

Morgana sat among ten thousand and one roses, closing her eyes. She listened to music, imagining fragrant sea. As if she was a scarlet rose that stood in plain, looking unto fragrant sea with variety of gorgeous blooming spring flowers. As if she was a butterfly that fluttered among flowers, resting at scarlet rose petal.

William sat by the queen's side, looking upon the queen's quiet cheek. He would like to close his eyes, and enjoy music that soothed his soul. But he couldn't move his gaze away from the queen's quiet cheek. Music was wave tide that caressed warm sand, crushing upon seaside, fading into ocean.

William moved his gaze away from the queen's quiet cheek, before the queen noticed his gaze. He sat by the queen's side, looking unto the stage, with the view of the stars. He started closing his eyes, listening to music, imagining an island that's embraced by ocean. As if he stood on the island, looking upon surface with the view of sea.

Liam laid his long and slender fingers between black and white piano keys, opening his eyes. He stood up, bowed to the audiences with gentleman-like manner, and bowed to the queen and president with respect. He stood in the spotlight, looking upon the audiences.

"I wrote this music in a sunny spring day, and named it Mayflower. It's the same name as the ship where I was born and brought up. Thank you for listening!"

Liam introduced the name of his music, looking upon the audiences. He hadn't introduced himself by language, but he had introduced by his music. He stood in the spotlight on the stage, looking unto the queen and president.

'I was born and brought up in the ship. There's no harbor could be called home for me. The ship is my home. The land is too distant for me. It's a harbor too far. It's a woman too gorgeous. It's a perfume too strong. It's a music that I don't know how to make.'

Morgana hadn't met Liam before, but from his music she could tell that Liam must be a romantic but lonely gentleman. She hadn't experienced what Liam experienced, but she knew Jackson who had been in the isolated island for seven thousand years, and Liam's music reminded her of Jackson.

"Thank you for entertaining us. I can tell your romance and loneliness from your music. You travel around the world in the ship, and explore the world's beauty and vastness. You have traveled many places, but you can't find back your hometown's harbor. May flowers would be lovely. Drifting on the sea would be lonely. May you find a harbor, and settle down. Your score would be 9.85."
