Chapter 1: Via's Goal

Via's POV

[One day ago...]

"Via when you're singing, it should comes from the heart and then you should sing to express yourself not to lift yourself to others. Is that right, honey?" said dad

"That's right, I know that when baby is already grow up, she will be the best Lyrica for all generations" mom said.

"You should sleep now, little Via" replied dad

Dad started to sing and mom played the violin together with it. It brings me a peace of mind because there's good harmony of voice and the sound of violin.

"Rock-a-bye, baby

On the treetop

When the wind blows

The cradle will rock

If the bough breaks

The cradle will fall

But mama will catch you

Cradle and all~~ "

I was in the world of dreams when I heard the voice of my auntie.

"Via,Via!! Wake up you slug!" aunt Diva shouts

'What did I dreamed about? Oh mom, dad, I miss you so much.'

I clapped loudly to indicate that I was awake. I immediately stood up and prepared myself.

'I'm Via Lyrica. Im the youngest of the Lyrica family. The Lyrica family is the largest family in the whole of Euphonia (land of Music) and the Lyrica is all-respected. Well, since I was born, I don't have a voice. They say I'm a mute so I have not been introduced as a Lyrica yet but that's okay, I'm happy and I'm satisfied with what I have.'

Immediately, I came down to assist in housework and helped my cousins ​​to go to the Music Academy.

'How I wish to be in that school! Do you know my dream is to get there? But, I'm not allowed to go there, says Diva. Besides, I do not seem to be able to show any talent that let the whole family ashamed. I'll just wait for the right time. '

After I did what I needed to do, I went to a well near a broken house and fence. Where there's nobody. Where no one could judge me.

I put out the violin I have inherited from my mother and start playing. My heart lead and played all the way and I feel like I'm going to another world or another place every time I play it.

But my little concert was suddenly broken by someone. I heard as if its moving around the bushes behind me.

(hiss hiss)

I slowly approach the bush.

'I have a bad idea about it'

I stared at the grass.

"Via, come here!!" shouted my Aunt

I was shocked at the moment and ran quickly to aunt's.

"What's that face? Anything happened?" she asked

I pointed my finger to the bushes and she looked at it. Something's really moving in the bushes. I ran quickly to aunt's back and hide. Aunt seems to be alert.

"Stay back" she said

Until a rabbit jumped out of the bush.

"Goodness gracious! It's just a stupid rabbit. By the wat, what are you holding huh?" aunt said with a ferocious eyes

I quickly hid the violin in my back.

'I hope she didn't saw it'

"Via, I told you to stop playing the violin and focus to your voice. Your voice should come out now. I will introduce you to Euphonia tommorow so give your best" said aunt Diva once again and go away

I was left here paralyzed.

'B-but, how? I'm already twelve years old and still do not have a voice. Maybe they were right, it does not seem to come out'

Later, I decided to sit on one side and started to think what will I do.

Third Person's POV

"Are you sure that's my daughter is here?" inquire the King

"Yes, dear King" replied a soldier

The King stood up and pointed his staff to the cords

"Well then, find it out" said the King

This is the kingdom of Silencio. They hates music and this place is indeed silent. There is no noise or any music here because people in Silencio have the power to take someone's voice and use it to strengthen themselves. But the music itself is their enemy so they will find a way to strike the Euphonia down.
