Soul in Song

Day one and a half

    Nothing like waking up, and still discover your in that unicorn-throw up-tastic  dream. I was hoping I would open my eyes to a more reasonable out come you know the beep, boop, of heart machines, vents that keep you breathing, IV's that keeps you from both feeling the pain and being malnourished. Heck who knows, my luck mom finally put me on a coma diet. I know I am not brain dead because, I can remember everything. Take that Alice from resident Evil! Because this is the only thing this reminds me of. One I have a slender body build, not a double zero mom, but it's still enough to say I am healthy. Amazingly, what ever we consume helps our bodies. I ate a fruit yesterday that made me feel more energized than any B-12 or energy drink could help with. I get up to find what looks like green eggs, and some form of meat on a plate and some fruit and a drink of some kind. Here we go again another Alice, I feel I am like again. Mind you this place is as surreal as I'd imagine wonder land being. I try the food, which to my surprise taste a lot better than i thought. I go to find clothes, and a note is waiting for me 

                                "Xina, put this on and follow the maid Zarra to the dinning hall

                                                                -Nina

    Well there goes my day of exploring. I pick up my mess and clean around me as best as I can, I didn't notice the music box's was singing the tune to hi-ho we're off to work we go. Mind you I was excited, but now I am fascinated by this little box. I'll ask later what it is though. I walk down with the maid Zarra, who isn't a conversationalist. which sucks, but what can I say. I go into the dinning hall to find other girls like me. I mean they are dressed in what I assume the color the show off for the tunic I have on is purple the rest are mainly blue, green, and orange. I turned to talk to one of the girls, then it hit me they can't talk. Until one said "Hello, you must be Xina, I am mim. You are the first new, new arrival to have ever sit at our table. Most are down in the basement working on motor skills, they are trying to walk back up to their rooms. When that is done they will be given the task of learning to talk. Then we are ask to learn how to read, write, and what skills we have."  She smiled at me and for one moment it took me by surprise, I am the one who usually does the talking. "Hello Mim, my name is actually Abby, though they named me Xina here." Mim looked at me in surprise "You chose your name?" She asked. "No my mother did. I was named after her high school best friend, and god mother." That was when all the questions came what is a mother, what is a high school best friend... On and on it went until a man came in. "Hello ladies, said the man, who's voice reminded me of one of my favorite actors, Vin Diesel. Rich and throaty, with that husky baritone. Oh man if only my momma was here she'd be on him like white on rye. He was just as muscular except he had hair, beautiful almond colored hair with very dark red almost maroon high light's and his skin was a dark brown with the same maroon colored eyes. He reminded me of a mix of Vin and a Wesley snipe's Blade. His body and aura said Warrior. Part of me realized what I was doing again, I was looking or should I say trying to hear that voice that lead me to be here. I didn't bother paying attention anymore until he came over and said to me "You must be Xina? or as I heard before entering Abby?". He bowed down like we where in a type of place where I was a lady, and took my hand and like the cliche goes. Yup, he kissed it. He told me his name which is Zinth, and as I had guessed he was a warrior for a king. Yup, Liyra has a king, and all the girls in here want a chance at him. I just want to find that voice that felt like home and safety.

    By the time, the whole meeting came to an end, we where told about being taught etiquettes. Along with dance and some other stuff to see if we had any natural talents. We each was given a young man from the royal academy to dance with, and like always I wanted to lead instead of being lead. What can I say I was never a follower type girl. By the time it was all done, another one of their rank came in. He was very handsome and he observed us all. Then when it came time to learn the proper use of fine china I suppose that was the only way to think of these new plates and such, lucky for me it was just like home. you worked you way inside out. Always take small bites. When the man talked my whole body froze. It was his voice, my light house in the dark. I didn't take a good look at him before, but I notice that unlike the others he was a light pale tan with white shimmer on his skin and in his hair which oddly enough looked  like contained all the colors it's self. He said his name was Dastane , and all I could think of was how beautiful his voice was and how warm. His eyes where a warm amber color, unlike everyone else's eyes his like mine followed the way of what ever they wanted. That's when he introduced his hope to be intended, and that's when I notice LL cool J's song- Mama said knock you out, started playing... Oops "Sorry everyone, this has been happening since last night, it was my mothers the queens before she died." that was when everyone gasped in surprise, and what made me think "well damn!" and that when whoops there it is started. what is with this box going of my emotions. I tried to find it panic made me try to quite it. I grabbed it and ran out the door. That was when it changed from the 90's to more of the Jackson's five - I want you back. Still prefer N'sync's I want you back but for now this will do. I ran with that box and what I didn't realize was that I was quick, I did realize I was deeply embarrassed. Not only was this box playing the first songs that came to mind, but hadn't done that since his mom died. Again Oops, this time Brittany Spears- Oops I did it again played. what the hell, I sang it. Singing always made me feel better. I was in what looked like the woods and I sure as hell didn't know where I was.

    I walked for what felt like hours trying to get back, my bad my home music made me run. I started to here what sounded like whimpers and that's when I discovered what look to be a honest to god and goddess dragon. He or she was small, I crooned at it, and like all animals do it hissed at me. I ripped part of my tunic to make gloves in case s/he was a biter, it sniffed me and I noticed both its leg and tiny wing where hurt I then took my ripped of tunic and bandage the baby. That when I notice that where it rubbed me was what look to be a moon symbol on my wrist. "Oh man" I thought this is some Aargon stuff. I hope this isn't a rash. I walked silently, I didn't know what to name my new friend, that when it hit me Mellon. What Gandulf said to Frodo when they tried to enter the mines of Roin "Speak the word friend and enter" Mellon. By the time I found my way back I had notice they had made a search party for me. Oh well.
