In a legato, pianissimo tenor, I unchained the delicate melody.
"A-aa...ve...Ma-aari-ii...ah..."
Within a few lines, Elena fell into a restful sleep. I continued the song to its symmetrical end, letting the dynamic flourish as I ended the tune.
'A-aah...ve..."I paused to yawn, on the verge of sleep myself, "Mari-ii...ah..."
As I ended the song, I allowed sleep's warm embrace to take me, my mind almost devoid of the violence which punctuated the performance. Amen.
*************
A riveting tale, as always, Alphonse. This concludes the first part of chapter four. The advertised events of this chapter will begin next time, in chapter four; part two. Albrecht and Alphonse must separate in hopes of locating Judas, and Elena and Himeko will have to prove their worth in battle as well. Please remember to vote, and...this time I will not shy away from begging: Please comment! Let me know what you think. I strive to know. That's all for now. Check back soon.

Anonymousover 7 years agoa sad but beautiful story. Cannot wait until the next piece.
Anonymousalmost 11 years agoNothing is unfair, life is what it is. However, I have 3 or 4 writers on Literotica
that I have considered heretofore to be of "commercial" or "real world" short story quality. The work we are reading is "unfair" since it is leagues beyond most things one reads, here or elsewhere.
None, despite their excellence, touch the talent that is creating this narrative; at times, it is at times too sparse and understanding comes slowly - however, anyone who writes knows that lean writing as we are reading here is incredibly difficult to achieve and, in my opinion, rarely achieved much better than we are reading here. Emotional response, for me, is not coming; the cold brutality has stifled it thus far and should it not come, it would reveal a weakness. Until then, however . . . .. .
Anonymousalmost 12 years agoWhatever, the story is awesome. Soon write next few parts of the story and good luck, keep writing.
