#cspcontest39 (themed Music)


I drew this to enter the contest held by CSP.

This drawing has a story made by @limpeiern 




------------Story----------------------

"Hey don't stay out too late, be back at six yeah? " The girl did not stop her steps towards the far for the calling behind, instead she ran faster.

All she wants to do is go to the nearby lake spots and practice her new Ocarina at a silent corner, it is a birthday present by her butler android - Alan.

She ran on top of the red soil that smelled like fresh earth, for that rain had just stopped until she thought she heard something.

"♪~"

The girl turned her head quickly to her right, there's something inside the bush, the bush had covered whatever was behind them, like a secret.

"♬~" There, again. She is fairly confident that the sound was from the bush.

She moves towards them, carefully prying open the branches and leaves among the bushes, and there she is. Standing in front of a small entrance that looked like made of copper pipe, the size just big enough for a little girl like her.

Fortunately, the route is not dark as there is sun radiating to wherever the pipe leads. She looks at the light across the other side, thinking about whether to take on this little adventure.

"♫~" Here it is again.

The girl tightens her fist and takes a deep breath, this reminds her of once upon a story that she read, the glory of the hero when he ends his adventure.

She crawls into the entrance.

In any dangerous case, she believes that Alan will come to fetch her anyway.

***

The girl thought she had walked a really long time, following that lingering music note.

Finally, she saw something, a rugged-looking building that had the roof collapsed and rustic steels everywhere at its perimeter. It reminds her of the ancient building that she reads from her textbook, like an abandoned castle.

There is a digital sign standing in front of the building, proudly written 'FORBIDDEN ENTRY'.

Yet she still moving towards there, and stood right in front of the sign hesitating.

"♪♪~" It's clearer this time, and it's so obvious that this is coming from inside the forbidden building.

She thought of a song that Alan once played to her, the similar musical notes that flew in the air. She clenched her Ocarina, found an entrance among these scrap metal and finally went in.

"Ooh!" She yelped when the sunlight shoved upon her face when she entered the building.

Then she saw it, the amazing scenery that revealed itself in front of her. There is a big hole on her head that results from the collapsed roof, the sunlight went through it and shone upon the countless musical instruments below.

The girl looks at the golden instruments and they look so much like those that she saw in the museum.

She couldn't help but touch one of them, she felt a little warm from the cold steel because of the sunlight, and she saw a giant black one that stood on top of all the antiqued instruments. She knows it's called piano.

However, one instrument does not play on its own, so the beautiful note that she heard was...?

"♫~" Another time, this time it's closer, almost like it is right on top of her head.

She looked up, and there it was. A bird circled around in the air while chirping for the notes. The bird wears a sky-blue coat, that looks very much like the bluebird in the ancient fairy tale, words are that they bring you happiness in life. But the girl did not know that.

"Hey birdie, are you singing? " She climbs through the remains of the instruments and stands on top of the piano so she can have a better view of the bird.

"Can I play with you? " The girl waved the Ocarina in her hand. The bird did not respond but just continued. The girl takes that as a yes.

She lifts the Ocarina near her mouth and tries hard to think of the tutorial video that Alan showed to her.

"♪~♫~♬~" Soon, the music came from the wind and the birds collided, and merged to compose a song that spread through the roof and lingered around the sky.

Time seems meaningless at the moment, the girl didn't know how long she played with the bird until she heard something digital and familiar.

"Young master, it is time for dinner. " It sort of startled her to stop the Ocarina and look down. There he stood on the ground of the instrument tower ever so gracefully, her butler android Alan.

"Alan! " She jumps down excitedly, right into the arms of the android. She wants to share her excitement.

"Alan, look! I play the song with the birdie... " She dragged his hand and wanted to show him the bird, but then she realised the chirping sound of the bird had gone.

She looked up again, but this time no more bird. The bluebird had gone, like an illusion. Even the sun had gone down and dyed the music remains with orange.

"Birdie... Gone... " The girl pouts and sounds crushed. Alan is the only one in her home who supports her to learn the music, she knows he's no human but in her heart, he's family.

"Young master, it is alright. A bird called for freedom, one day he would be back. " Alan patted her head gently and led her to the way out of the abandoned building.

On the way back, the girl said zero words and still indulging herself in what happened just now.

Soon, they are stepping on the familiar road once more, the same old red soil road. She knows what lies in front of her - her home.

"Alan, do you know what place is that? " She knows Alan must know the answer, she wants to come again. Maybe... Just maybe the bird is still waiting for her.

"Young master, it is a forbidden place, a place that is left out by the cruelty of time. "

"Duh, I know! But there aren't that many musical instruments even in the museum, and they have a piano! "

"Young master, I am glad that you did pay attention to the last trip to the museum. But I must ask you that do not wander alone again, you will get hurt. "

Oh, she must get the answer from Alan, it is time for her critical attack.

"But... I want to know... " She puts on a face that looks like she is holding her tears, she knows Alan will yield.

The butler android sighs as if his programming makes him to.

They are soon to be home, and the girl can see the entrance of the town from here. When the night is coming, the town is always eerily silent.

And she waits.

"Young master, there was once a Philharmonic Hall. "

Alan knows he will hear no end of this from his young master tonight.
