Sacred Pond

First topic message reminder :

this pond is very sacred to the ones who lived near it. So please respect it

Mist still keeping a good rhythm in her playing of her violin still to Masa of his playing his cello, unlike most others out there that hardly isn't one with music and stuff, her music is indeed unique. No one else can really play the same way as she does, first of all they are not her and will never be either, she would keep on with a list about some things of that. Now hearing that Masa seems to playing something more, more than what others couldn't keep up with, she almost again smirk smile like to that and then thought oh, as her now? That's interesting now. Lets see if he will be able to keep up with her, so now she decide to take her playing up a bit more and see if she can still play sort of the same, but is a bit higher with still relaxing sounding notes. High then some low then back and fourth for the moment, she plays as to letting her music take over and being one with it. She looks towards his way, with her bit of smile for a moment and then looks back away with her eyes closed and continue, her playing.

To say that Masa is quite happy about the fact that she was keeping it up well with her unique sound; is an understatement. He was quite elated in fact. How long was it did he had the thrill of playing with his heart content- against anyone? Especially someone that could be considered as skilled as him. A century ago? And those fools back then still aren't challenging enough for him. They don't have the requirements to be a musician and therefore never did have his respect as a fellow musician. There was always something missing in their music that irks him to no end. It irks him to the point that he wouldn't even go to their concerto- world famous or not. The only musician he had respected before was Mozart -a good man really- and Beethovan -a funny guy in fact. There are some others that he respected also but he rather not name them all.
For someone as young as her -the people who would challenge him are always old looking guys- to gain his respect is a rarity. Almost an impossiblity. Not to mention that she isn't exactly playing just because she wanted to beat him in the first place- she's doing this for fun and the fact that she enjoyed her music greatly. That is what he wanted out of a musician.
He then started to play in a low tone- decided to test her on the emotions of her music. It was rather a mellow song that seemed sad and depressing. One could practically see the story it told; about a woman and how her lover is going out to war so she waited everyday for him, never leaving from the spot where she watched him go away.

Mist hardly really have this type of fun against someone else, well think about it now, when was really the last time she had this sort of challenge that interest her now? None at all. Those others –not worth saying their names- guys, aren’t even at her level at all, so why would see even worth her time with them. She’s no human of course, a young looking vampire that is, as for her real age now-unknown to others- She even felt sorry for those who give music a bad name and music being played by certain others. The same with arts, those who aren’t good as well, a waste of her time and she only sound cold that way mostly for those reasons. But those good with both, now she wouldn’t mind. Pretty much the only one to give her a fun, good challenge, is this guy here. She also guess, that she wasn’t the only one to improve, he seems to improve as well with his cello as well and well, he seems already highly skill like before, so that would seems like he’s a bit higher as well like her. The sound of his playing seem to change yet again, now to a sad one, the kind that would make others a bit sad, so her sound of playing has went back down. Not really to the same as Masa, more of a calm sounding, joy tone. It was how she was feeling after all, she’s enjoying this and is calm as well, so her playing of her violin is the same to her feelings for now and also her sound still fits her surrounding also, as it did like a bit before. She still had her smile, as she keeps playing her violin along with her eyes still closed.

Masa was elated to know that she, once again, passed one of his test. For some people, it's hard to convert emotion in their music. Because they don't simply feel the music and it's meaning. Many of the great composition isn't made just because the person did it on a whim- they made their feelings into music. And if they wanted to be a great musician, they have to learn how to make music from their hearts. People had thought that the techniques and the theory of the music would be enough. Apparently not in Masa's book. That's called uncaring in his book. And he hates doing anything half way or anything that he might consider it lazy and unmotivated. That's just a lame excuse to not want to do anything.
And so, he turns his skills up a notch. He's done testing the girl apparently; she has gotten all the requirements for a great musician- he has no complaints on her music. He couldn't complain on her music, it's unique and beautiful.
With that in mind, he slid his bow onto his cello's strings faster and faster. And soon, an almost impossible fast pace song came to play. He kept on playing more difficult chords and more difficult notes. He was not at his peak of power, of course; but let's see if the girl could keep up with him at this level. Surely she could- he wouldn't challenge her if she didn't.

She was still more focus on playing her violin, on still playing her music. Though seems as if he’s testing her again in the challenge and still for another moment longer, she played her music her way and hasn’t changed it or anything for the moment. As another moment more passes by, she guess now is the time to turn it up a bit. ‘Now seems like that time to turn it up, just a bit more. Lets see how he will continue next, what will he do next~’ She thought, as she still plays in the same level but then as the bit of wind passes by, blowing her red long hair aside, she plays a bit more but her sound and the way she plays her music, still had the unique sound to it and feelings to it. She thought to show a different type of her music, not the same as Masa. She wondered what he would played to this music that she’s playing back and while doing that her bit if smile still haven’t went away and she opens her eyes for a bit and it was as her music was talking to Masa, saying something like, ‘show me more of your music’ she did wanted to hear more of his music and knows that he should be able to tell by that, without her having to say anything, but by her music that is and so, she continues to play.
