Melodies of Restoration
Refusing the Risk
Feeling something nervous tighten inside you, you glance again at the frail person lying in the hospital bed. Can your magic tunes cure this serious sickness? With hesitation, you look at your special violin. You know your violin's magic is kind, but could it make things worse? Health is not a thing to play with, even with magic. And if something goes wrong, it would be because of you. You're scared to take such a risk, scared that you might do more harm than good.
How could you use your violin if it frightens you? Straining your ears to the quiet room, you remember all the cheers your playing used to bring. But it was not enough to shake away the unease within you. Even if your songs could heal, you weren't certain they'd succeed. What if your magic failed and that wavering melody caused pain instead of peace? With the weight of the consequences heavily on your mind, you made a choice - to not use the violin.
You didn't realize right away but, when you stopped using your magic, something changed. Your world felt less shiny, less full. You missed the warm sparkles your magic spilled across the sea. Behind you, away from the cheers, you could almost feel tides of music being swallowed by silence. But as lonely weeks passed, fewer and fewer people asked about your magic or your music. They forgot. And thus, you carried this strange secret, your life once filled with mystical melodies now hidden away, like a tiny, quiet, moonlit room hidden in the back of your heart.
