A FarewellI don't trust whoever gets my childhood home next not to ruin it. My parents cut down a tree in the front yard today and it feels like a part of me was lopped off. It was sickly, they said. Bark peeling off for years, flesh laid bare in the West Texas sun. But it was the tree in front of my childhood bedroom. Its branches used to tap on my window. It shielded me from the harsh glare of the street lamp. It needed to go, my dad said. And we all sat on the back porch, dogs laying out in the grass, and I pondered the fate of the other tall, friendly oak trees stretching up into the sky. My parents moved into this house just before I was born. Twenty four years I've lived here, spare a few spent out east. They've been talking about moving for the last six. And the next family won't know. They won't know that the long, straight branch in the backyard used to have my swing tied to it until one day the rope broke and I scraped my knees. They won't know that the stains in the garage are from a sloppy DIY hydro-dipping attempt my dad and I put on one day when my mom wasn't home. They won't see the splotchy shapes of imaginary horses and dinosaurs hidden in the orange peel walls. They won't know which shelves are for pictures and which are for books. They won't know that you have to turn the ceiling fan knob all the way to the right, and then back one click, otherwise it shorts out. They won't know how the second bedroom used to be the nursery, decorated with hand-painted caterpillars and ladybugs and butterflies that you can still see the faint outlines of through the three coats of neutral grey that have been slathered on since. Ah, well. I'm sure they'll figure it all out.

RAVIA Ch1: Where The Tale BeginsNote: All characters, settings and locations used belongs to me/RaviaVee/Vee Tee. DO NOT steal any of my properties. Planet Harmonica... A planet thousand light years away from our own, is full of surprises unknown to us. Imagine a planet almost without organic lifeforms, everything is mechanical. Plants still grow there though, and it grows just fine, no kidding! The people there, named the Harmonicans, might be shorter than us, and are mechanical lifeforms, but they live just like us. They eat, they drink, they sleep, they work... It all seemed like a peaceful planet where they can enjoy their lives. However, those peaceful lives ended real fast. Two species: the Harmonsters - creatures that also lived in the planet, had an enormous conflict against the Harmonicans, as their leader rose from his deep slumber. The two forces originally coexisted in peace, some Harmonicans even contracted several Harmonsters to protect them from any possible war, or just keep them as pets. However, Calavento, leader of all Harmonsters, detected the rise of a certain threat may resides within the mechanical people's CORE, and concluded that they must be extinct, thus sparkled a gruesome war against the two forces. In order to stop the war, the Magia Alliance was founded and provided the most elite Magical Warriors to protect Harmonica, with their swords being crafted by travellers that studied Harmonica's civilization. With these swords, they were able to stop Calavento's plan. With the Harmonster King realising his mistakes, the planet was restored to peace once more. However, recently, a girl somehow possessed organic genes (strangely does not consist of bacteria) not native to the planet, and both forces believed that a prophecy has become true... "When the girl bearing organic genes rise, She will obtain the Sacred Sword of Love, Together with the other Magical Warriors, They battle Against the embodiment of malice. And Harmonica's fate all lies beyond the girl's will." Harmonicans, monsters, everyone, and even the whole galaxy... Now depends on the girl mentioned in the prophecy. And the curtains of the stage of Planet Harmonica shall open... now.<hr /> ... "Wake up Big Sis! You're gonna be late for concert!" "What the... GOSH! Let's go, Heure!" On this day, a Harmonican girl named Ravia was rudely woke up by her younger brother Heure, and started rushing to the Harmony Stadium for her annual concert. When she arrived, her manager was stomping the ground with an angry expression on her face. She seems to be displeased by Ravia's arrival, even though the stadium is just 15 minutes away from her home at Dreamiracle Metropolis... "You are ALLLLLMOST late for your concert!" Said the manager, "At least you still got around 10 minutes to switch clothes before the concert starts for real!" "Sorry Miss Deedum..." Ravia replied with her head down, "I overslept at n-" "Nah, I don't need explanations, just ensure you will have stuff prepared, and think positively." Miss Deedum pats Ravia's shoulders gently, before she turns her sight to Heure. "Speaking of which... Who is the boy next to you?" "The name's Heure! I'm Ravia's younger brother, pleased to meet you, Miss Deedum!" Heure responds politely. "If there's anything I can help, I am willing to do so!" "H- Heure!? Are you sure?" Ravia looks at Heure in disbelief. "No worries Big Sis," Heure responds, "I'm a big boy now!" Miss Deedum seems to be interested in Heure's determination, and allows him to help Ravia in the backstage. "Well, if you insist, you can help Ravia all you want." "Thanks!" Heure replied excitingly. "Shrugs Guess I can't say no... " Said Ravia. The siblings followed Deedum to the backstage and started preparing stuff for the upcoming concert. At 9pm, people started getting seated for the concert. At the backstage, Ravia, wearing an extremely fancy dress, seemed to look nervous. Heure came close and hugged Ravia as encouragement. "T... Thanks. I haven't been on the stage for so long..." "Don't worry Big Sis!" Heure exclaimed, "I will cheer for you at the back stage! And don't forget to smile!" "Heure..." Ravia looked at Heure with those big eyes of hers. As she was slightly relieved, she stood on the 'elevator' that leads directly to the stage, as the announcer announced her arrival. When she stood on stage, the crowd went wild and cheered for her, holding their LED wands and signs. After a slight greet, Ravia started to sing her songs on stage, and her dancers also started dancing to the rhythm gracefully. One of the audiences in a black suit seemed to focus on Ravia, and muttered something quietly. "This girl... I sensed a familiar aura on her... Could it be the girl that was fabled in the prophecy...?" He said, as he stood up and left the stadium. ...3 hours later, Ravia switched back to her original clothes after the concert. Deedum rushed towards her excitedly, seemingly satisfied by how the concert went. "That was EXCELLENT!" Deedum exclaimed, "I thought 5 months of absence would make you perform less well, but I was wrong! That's my girl." "Thanks Miss Deedum!" Ravia replied happily, "Actually I practiced quite hard for the past few months, but I'm not alone! Without Heure, I wouldn't gain much confidence as usual." "You two siblings are really sweet, y'know? Alright! I'll send you a report sooner or later, Ravia." Deedum gently pats Ravia's shoulder. "Also well done Heure! You really impressed me a lot even at your first day of work." "Hehe, shucks..." Heure blushes, scratching the back of his head. "Excuse me!" A young boy runs towards Ravia with a notebook and pen, "Can I have your signature, please?" Ravia turns to the boy and replied happily. "Sure!" She said, as she gently takes the pen and signed her name on the boy's notebook. "There you go!" "Thank you!" The boy responds, "My mommy and daddy love your songs a lot!" "Really? That's nice to hear! Alright, take care!" "Bye!" The boy headed back to his parents, who were waiting for him to get Ravia's signature. Ravia smiles as she waves at the boy and his parents. Shortly after, Ravia and Heure started walking back to their house, which is not far away from the town where Harmony Stadium is located. Ravia seemed to be thinking of something, which caught Heure's attention. "What's the matter, Big Sis?" "No... Nothing! It's just... Last night I dreamt of a voice calling out my name, and asked me to pull out some kind of pink sword..." Ravia replied. "Wow, feels like some kind of fantasy game!" "I know, right? While I don't know what happened next since I woke up shortly after, it kinda felt like the fantasy adventure I wished for when I was young!" "Oh, um... It DOES sound intere-" "Free me... And get the Liebus..." An echoing whisper was suddenly heard. "It couldn't be... Can you hear that?" "Yeah Heure... It's the exact line that I heard in my dreams..." "What!?" Strangely, no one else seemed to heard the voice. "I hope it's just an hallucination..." Ravia said, scared, "But it also seemed like it's from far away..." "Free me... And get the Liebus..." They both heard the voice again, which seemed to came from the east side. "No doubt, it's really coming from the far east... Should we go and see?" Ravia asked. "Yeah..." Heure replied. "This doesn't look normal." The siblings headed east where the voice was supposed to be. The voice got louder and louder as they walk, until they saw a road made of tiles of ancient runes. "These looked like alphabets... Are those... Runes?" Ravia examines one of the runes on the ground. The runes were lined up in a straight line neatly. "Big Sis!" Heure called out for Ravia. "I think we should follow the runes. They were lined perfectly, so perhaps it's a hint to some unknown civilization?" "I'm not sure, but let's go!" The siblings followed the direction of the runes. As they walked on the tiles, the runes carved on them glows. Shortly after, they found a sword on a strange pillar-shaped device. "Impossible... It matches exactly like in the dreams..." Ravia said, as she slowly approaches the sword. "Stay close, Heure! I don't know what is going to happen next." When Ravia takes out the sword, the runes on the tiles came out as light particles and surrounded the sword. It then created a barrier of light, as the sword's rusted parts peeled off and revealed a dark pink sword with a golden edge. The sword also changed Ravia's original casual into a pink long dress, with pink long mittens and metallic magenta parts. The sword also generated a white hood and put on her head, as it gets fastened with a gold neck ring. "What is the meaning of this...?" Ravia asked in confusion, as she examined the sword and her clothes. "It... It's embarrassing...!" "...!! LOOK OUT!" Heure yelled as she pushed Ravia to avoid an energy slash that came out from nowhere. "Ow... What was that for..." Ravia struggled to stand up after she got pushed by Heure. "No! Look over there!" Heure pointed at a weird looking sheep-wolf hybrid that started staring at the two. It had a ferocious look on its face, and beared red eyes and a pillow-shaped head.<figure> <img src="https://img.wattpad.com/a1e3385c20bb555f914623011ccaad3d53d366d3/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f492d51776a343647596b506a51773d3d2d313238303636353539332e3137393864633830333436336261333439333932323031333739332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280 " alt=" It had a ferocious look on its face, and beared red eyes and a pillow-shaped head" /></figure> "Look at that. That is what we call a 'Harmonster'. From now on, Ravia, you will need to fight against Harmonsters and free them." The sword spoke. "I... I have to fight? Also how did you know my name?" Ravia asked confusedly. "There's no time, look out! It's trying to attack." The Harmonster rushed towards Ravia and tried to slash on Ravia, but she was fast enough to block the attack with her sword. The monster stepped back and howls at Ravia. "Hey!" The sword asked, "It's the first time you hold the Liebus, right? Can you handle this?" "No..." Ravia replied, "But to prevent anyone got hurt... I have to do this! Heure, stay back!" Heure hides behind one of the trees nearby, as she got worried about whether Ravia can handle the monster properly. The monster spits out mist and caused Ravia to feel drowsy. Her legs felt sore and could barely open her eyes. "Oh... No... Is that its... Ability..." Just when Ravia was about to collapse, Heure threw some rocks near the tree at the monster, causing it to get distracted and snapped Ravia back to her senses. "H... Heure!" Ravia shouted, after waking up. "Don't mind me!" Heure replied, "I'll keep distract it! Just use this moment to strike it!" Ravia nodded, as Heure continued to throw rocks. The monster got enraged and tried to attack Heure, but Ravia rushed and attacked the monster from behind, saving Heure at the nick of time. As the monster fell down to its knees, Ravia held the sword and slowly spun clockwise, forming a circle. She then took a deep breath and started focusing. "No matter what happens... Even at the cost of my career, I'll save everyone I love in this planet!" A sense of bravery and courage flashed on Ravia's blue, crystal eyes. Her resolve caused the dark pink parts to glow brighter, eventually staying pinker than usual. The monster stood back up, and both of them rushed towards each other and slashed in the speed of a blink of an eye. Ravia's sword and the monster's claws clashed briefly, creating a brief sparkle of light. Ravia gripped her sword harder, turned back, ans generates an energy slash at the monster, causing a heart-shaped barrier to surround the monster and explodes. The explosion then rewinded and retracted, transforming the monster into a smaller form that resembles more like a sheep, which was revealed to be its true form. The creature looked around in confusion and ran away, as the barrier that surrounded the area disappeared, signifying the defeat of a Harmonster. "I... I did it?" Ravia asked, having exhausted from the battle. "Great job, Big Sis!" Heure walked back to Ravia and congratulated her. "T... Tha-" Before Ravia could finish thanking Heure, the sword glowed and Ravia returned back to her original attire, with the sword transforming into a stamp that hangs on Ravia's shorts. "O- oh! I'm back to normal!" She exclaimed, "What just happened... I became a magical girl..." "I'm confused too, Big Sis..." Suddenly, someone called out for them. "You two did it! Thanks for freeing me from the seal!" When both looked back, they saw a ghost-like creature with bunny ears and butterfly wings, floating midair. "Y... You looked cute!" Ravia complimented on the creature. "Hey!" Heure shouted, "Don't scare us like that! That's not very polite!" "S... Sorry! My old habit's again..." The creature apologized. "My name is Liebe, the one who called out your name inside the sword!" "Are you a... Harmonster?" Ravia asked, with an expression of distrust on her face. "How did you know!?" Liebe was surprised. "I am indeed, though. But I am not like the others, I wished for peace and not following the Harmonster King's orders. Anyway, it might be hard to believe, but hear me out, Ravia... You were foretold by a prophecy, which depicted a girl bearing genes that aren't native to this world... You were destined to save Planet Harmonica from the hands of the Harmonster King Calavento, with a group of other Magical Warrior, and the sacred Sword of Love - 'Liebus' - that you own now." Ravia still couldn't believe all those words Liebe said. "It's still hard to believe, but... Does that mean..." "Yeah Ravia. From now on, you are... A Magical Warrior." "EHHHH!?!?" Ravia screamed. She couldn't believe that would became something more than idol - not to bring joy to people through songs, but to save the entire Planet Harmonica. "Of course!" Liebe added, "Unless you fullfil a 'contract' with me, you won't become a full-fledged Magical Warrior. Either you save the world from the Harmonster King's grasp, or continue to become the best singer of all times... You can choose your own path!" Ravia stared at her keychain in disbelief, not knowing that the following events could change her life forever... "What should I do..." On top of a mountain, the same man in suit that left the concert became more aware of Ravia being the current wielder of Liebus. "Just as I thought, the prophecy was true, and it was just at the beginning. And so is my grand plan... It will soon bear fruit. How would you choose your path... Ravia?" He smirked, as he slammed his own sword on the ground, covering a small portion of land near him into darkness...<figure> <img src="https://img.wattpad.com/0dd703373a51a097af51b3492e4ad5dadccc5d74/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f75447a2d6a334a476a484e7a75413d3d2d313238303636353539332e313738336136383130646431353535633535373833323334393337332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280 " alt=" Ravia?"
