Elffire City, Pedrarruna Forest.
The night was cold outside but inside Theo and Aurora's house was warm and cozy.
Mayia was sleeping on top of a couch in the recording studio.
And Aurora and Theo were talking about music.
"What song do you want to sing?" Theo asked.
Aurora thought for a while.
"Can you play the opening song from the Blackout anime?" Aurora asked with shining eyes.
Theo laughed and nodded.
With his mastery of the piano, he could play any song he already listened to once.
He recollected the song for a while, and shortly after he was ready to play.
Theo signaled Aurora and he started playing.
Aurora took a deep breath and held the microphone nervously.
She didn't know why but she was anxious even though it didn't matter how well she could sing.
But when she looked at her brother, her nervous heart calmed down.
She started singing with a smile on her face.
English and Yamatese words started being sang by Aurora.
That's right!
The song was a mix of English and Yamatese (Japanese) Languages.
And Aurora was singing the lyrics flawlessly!
It was not a surprise though.
It was not by chance that the country was founded by two clans with different languages.
Therefore, the Sakura Abode Country had two official languages.
English and Yamatese.
And every citizen of the country had to be fluent in the two languages.
Every child in the country would start the education program by learning the two languages.
Some classes would be taught exclusively in English and others exclusively in Yamatese.
This was done to force every child to become fluent in the two languages.
But obviously, each city had a dominant language even though everyone knew the two languages.
For example, Elffire City's dominant language was English.
But if someone started a conversation in Yamatese with any citizen of the city, he/she would be able to talk fluently in Yamatese.
Aurora and Theo were fluent in Yamatese too.
So, it was not a surprise for Aurora to sing the song without any difficulties.
The Anime Industry was mainly made with the Yamatese language by the way.
Every anime launched was dubbed in Yamatese (Japanese) language.
The same happened with the mangas.
And the amazing voice actors that dubbed the animes in Yamatese (Japanese) were one of the things that made anime so popular.
And as one of the most powerful countries in the world, the Sakura Abode Country made the rest of the world have to learn the two languages two.
That's why English and Yamatese were the most used languages in the world.
Throughout the last century, when the world saw a world war, the two languages were disseminated to every country.
As the Sakura Abode Country didn't participate in the war as the country was an island itself and didn't have to worry about anyone invading.
The country took advantage of the destruction after the war and started imposing the power of the Sakura Country throughout the world.
The Bald Eagle Country did the same thing, but it was much less effective than the Sakura Abode Country.
The translation of the song that Aurora was playing was something like this.
[It′s always...
Because it's always I try my way
It′s always...
Because it's always I try my way
My heartbeat grows dry inside my racing chest
My breath relies upon the things I believe in
I hear my voice in the cloud
Wanna fool myself and stay connected to it all
I've given up, simply standing here
Falling to fully grow into myself
I've found no words
I'm always looking backward for them
But foolish as I am, I still believe in myself
Shaking, I take a step forward
′Cause I don′t wanna be a loser when I used to be
A light shines onward through a newly opened door!
I say I want to know for sure
But it's not like the answer's off hiding somewhere
The fair wind still be the destination!
I might as well start by abandoning all my theories
The truth I shut away, being too afraid
The value of my own individuality
Up to fair wind gonna true location
Building myself up, I'll drag it out into the open
I'll call the wind.. all the way around
The freedom to change form at will
Hopes that lay reality bare
I hear your voice in my heart
Yeah! I know! I know already!
Even if the sky was no longer blue
Even if darkness surrounds everything
Call my name
If I'm even still myself…]
And Aurora was singing with everything she had.
Even though she was not as good as Theo, she sang beautifully.
And Theo could see the shadow of an amazing singer being born.
He could see a singer that could move crowds in front of him.
Aurora was so immersed in the song that when it finished she was a little lost.
She woke up to the sound of clapping.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
Theo was on his feet and clapping furiously as he smiled at her.
Aurora smiled bashfully when she saw her brother making such a big deal about her singing.
"That was amazing!!" Theo exclaimed.
"Thank you, big brother!" Aurora gave him a sweet smile.
She was ecstatic that her brother liked her singing.
Theo looked at her and made a decision.
"Do you wanna be part of my album?" Theo asked with a smile.
Aurora froze when she heard that.
She could not answer immediately as she had multiple thoughts running through her mind.
She saw how talented her brother was, and the amazing song he already had on his album.
He was asking her to be part of the amazing album he was producing!
"As a singer, big brother?" Aurora asked nervously.
"Of course!" Theo replied as if it was obvious.
"Are you sure? I'm not the best singer and you are so talented…" Aurora said in a low voice with her head down avoiding looking at her brother's eyes.
She didn't hear his reply, but when she thought he wouldn't reply, she felt a hand lifting her head.
"It doesn't matter if I'm talented. It only matters if you want it." Theo smiled with doting eyes.
Aurora's eyes teared up a little when she heard that.
"Besides, I meant when I said you are an amazing singer. If you want, I can teach you how to improve your singing and you get even better than me." Theo said with a smile.
Aurora's pupils constricted with what he said.
She didn't know that her brother saw so much potential in her.
"So, do you want to be part of my album?" Theo asked again.
Aurora had a determined voice as she said.
"Yes!" Aurora smiled happily.
Theo laughed when he heard that.
"Then let's start our classes to improve your singing skill!" Theo exclaimed.
"Yay!" Aurora exclaimed.
The two of them had a lovely night as they were immersed in the music.
The birth of a duo that would shake the music world was born!
