127 Can the melody rise again ?

On the first day of my training , Ramsey didn’t show up .

– 

I should be glad – I tried to convince myself but I felt annoyed all of a sudden .

What was I expecting , he was not someone who kept to his words .

“ I know I said we’ll train for an hour every morning but I’ll leave after training you for thirty minutes .

I have a lot of things to check and the only way I can … ” 

“ It’s fine , Nathan , ” I stopped him midway .

“ Just do the best you can .

I’m not exactly in the mood for long training either .

” 

He nodded .

In the next few minutes , Nathan taught me basic training tactics and routines .

Some of them I was already familiar with.

Halfway , he got a call from his father and had to leave .

Left on my own , I practised with everything I’d learnt that morning.

After I was done with the training ground , I decided to fill the hours by doing something else .

For a while , all

this talk about me being the Moonsinger has sounded like a mirage to me and an attempt to trap me in this world but today , I decided to try to replace out what it 

was .

I made my way to Blue Ridge Library – although there had been a few renovations , it was still as I 

remembered .

This used to be my place of escape after enduring sessions of insults from my mother 

especially .

I’ll come to the library , hide in one of the far aisles and cry myself out .

I smiled fondly , as I greeted the librarian who recognized me immediately before entering .

The section on Moonsingers wasn’t hard to replace – it occupied an entire wall of carefully preserved volumes with a sign that read ‘ fragile ‘ on the top of the 

shelf .

I selected several books that looked promising and 

settled into one of the oversized leather armchairs 

tucked into a quiet corner .

The first book ‘ Moonsingers – Past and Present ‘ was just a genealogical naming of all the Moonsingers .

Basic information – like name , name of parents , place of birth and how long they lived before their death .

Each Moonsinger had pictures of them attached to their profile and the last Moonsinger was 10,000 years ago .

I picked up another book titled ‘ Echoes of the Moonsingers : A History of Guardians ‘ 

– 

I started reading stunned at the revelation of each Moonsinger .

Page after page told similar stories – they all had struggled with purpose and in the quest for it , they had stumbled on a role given to them by the goddess .

But I didn’t struggle with ‘ purpose ‘ if anything , I wanted acceptance .

I wanted to be loved but from the book’s description , the Moonsingers were quite 

popular and loved by everyone making it easy for them to bank on that love and support when their powers were revealed .

— 

I paused when I came across a chapter of the last Moonsinger – a man named Aeron – a general from the packs across the sea .

As I read , a strange sensation washed over me .

The description of Aeron’s experiences was exactly everything I used to see in my dreams – those dreams in which I had been a man , fighting those damned 

Ferals .

According to the book , “ The first sign of a Moonsinger’s awakening is the Dreams of Connection – visions of their predecessor’s life , most commonly manifesting as dreams of being the previous Moonsinger .

These dreams serve as both warning and preparations , an indication that the time has come for the new Moonsinger to take up the mantle of defending the land ‘ 

But I found something strange .

There was an account by Neriah – the first Moonsinger and the account by Aeron the last Moonsinger who I was supposed to be connected to , according to the dreams of connection but Aeron’s account matched with what I had seen in my dreams and also , Neriahs ‘ .

Aeron was a warrior and he did it to protect his pack and our world from the Dark One but Neriah … after she had refused to be mated to the Dark One , he had gone after everyone in her village and killed them all .

She came home one day and found she was in a field filled with her dead ones .

Members of the pack , her mother , her father , her sister and two lovers .

127 Can the melody rise again ? 

That was exactly what I had seen in my dream .

The one where a voice had blamed me for killing them .

I paused for a minute , closed the book and tried to digest the fact that Neriah had two lovers .

Read the latest and free novels at Narugi.Com

Did she share Xander with someone else ? Or was there another person – two different people ? If my calculations were right , she was in a thing with three people .

A mischievous smile crept up my lips .

“ Way to go , Neriah , ” I chuckled opening the book again .

“ So , I had a vision of both Aeron’s life and Neriah’s ” I murmured to myself flipping to the next page.

So , all this time , my recurring dreams hadn’t just been fragments of my imagination – they were visions of Aerions and Neriah’s life .

— 

When I turned the next page , I froze at a sentence , an account from Neriah herself ‘ Until a Moonsinger kills the source , and takes up a status with the Dark one , we would never complete our purpose.

” 

I re – read the words again , trying to understand what it meant .

The narration below said none of the 

Moonsingers had ever completed their purpose .

Their

127 Can the melody rise again ? 

purpose was to kill the Dark One and to stop his existence but without their powers , they would never be able to kill him , that’s why he can live and comes back to existence every one thousand years .

The book also said the Dark One could suppress a Moonsinger’s gifts rendering them powerless and none had been able to reclaim it .

It also said , that Neriah 

must have foreseen this and therefore , before the Dark One could take out all her powers , she had transferred them to a sword and buried it in the ‘ place the vines grow and no light touches the ground ‘ in the Northern Forests .

“ How did she know ? ” I heard myself ask .

“ How did she know that Xander would keep taking their powers ? She must have known or heard him say it for her to transfer her powers to the sword and give other Moonsingers the ability to wield their power through an external source .

” 

I closed the book and picked up another volume , skimming through it and hoping I could replace an answer but nothing .

I paused and closed my eyes trying to recall all my conversations with Xander , wondering if he had

mentioned something I missed .

He did say only Neriah took his ability to do a lot of things and kept it under lock for centuries and … 

My eyes flew open as Neriah’s reincarnation , I was able to unlock his powers with the help of those 

stones .

No one mentioned the stones .

Not even the high priestess .

If I could restore Xander’s power – it also means , there’s a way to get mine back .

I just need to replace it .

Making a mental note to ask the High Priestess about those standing stones , I moved to the aisle again to look for any book that talked about getting the lost power of a Moonsinger.

There was nothing .

I skimmed the entire section and even went to a section of books dealing with ancient rituals and power restoration but there was nothing on Moonsingers .

It was all on Sigma Wolves .

Sighing and deciding to give up , I saw a dusty , fragile book that had only five pages and was titled : Restoration of the Melody .

I took the book back to my seat .

127 Can the melody rise again ? 

The book was filled with a lot of text that was both dense and cryptic .

It had a lot of ancient symbols that were standalone and made no sense , somehow , I was able to read most of these symbols .

At the end of the last page , there was a text that caught my eye : 

“ To regain what is lost , one must return to the source .

Only in the place where the mark was given can the melody rise again .

” 

“ The source ? ” I murmured under my breath .

“ Would that be that warehouse and standing stones from that day ? ” 

As I pondered on this , my phone suddenly buzzed on the table , jolting me out of my thoughts .

Hissing at the sudden interruption , I leaned forward and saw a familiar number .
