Painting Music (Miya/Eve)

Miya was lost in her own little world. Her music would draw her to stories painting in her mind. Each song she wrote had that effect and would begin a new story for her to play. This time it was a reminder of her status as an orphan, technically. She came to Starlight after her accident and never had any other parents since. Just adults who looked after her.

While playing Miya was in such a trance that she didn't even feel a tear running down her face until Deith called out. This broke the trance and she paused for a moment. Eve's voice following his made her brush away the tear. Maybe she should take it easier and not focus so much while playing. The buzzing noise in her head was a clear sign of that.

"Alright. I guess with the head injury I shouldn't strain my eyes and brain, huh? I'll take a small break then. Want me to keep sitting here? I got water in my bag so I can relax on the bench for a few minutes."

While speaking she was reaching into her backpack and grabbed her special thermos. It was designed to keep the contents cold so when Miya drank it the water inside would come out as cold as ice water. She glanced over at Deith and was curious about his opinion.

"Enjoying the music?"

Miya nodded towards Eve, closing the lid on the piano keys while laying her head down on her arms. Resting her eyes might help too. It had been a while since she was actually injured and it prevented her from playing for too long. She started to think at her luck over the past week and was happy with it.

Miya's head picked up when Deith came over and sat next to her. What did Eve mean by what they talked about? Must be something she didn't have to concern herself with. Or just something else that Miya might have thrown a fireball at otherwise. She could still do that after all. He wanted to know where she learned? Miya sat up a bit so she didn't feel rude about it.

"Learn to play? When I was five. I loved the sound of Mozart and soft jazz when I was in the crib. I started hitting random keys on my adoptive parent's keyboard. Before they yelled at me for playing with it I was playing a melody from one of the tracks they left playing. It's been my favorite past time ever since. The composing and skill just came as I got older. So....I guess the answer is I'm mostly self taught. Coming to Starlight helped improve that a bit as the teachers here are, well, awesome. So, what about you? What do you do here besides being a mobile green screen?"

"Why, uhh, thank you," A blush ran across Miya's face. Compliments weren't exactly her forte. She didn't know how to accept them most of the time outside of just saying thank you. Miya hide most of her face behind her hair to avoid letting Deith see her blushing.

The sudden breeze took her by surprise. Miya looked around, but then settled that it was part of Deith's powers. It was really cool. Nothing as simple as just a girl who can throw fireballs. Or set things on fire with just her body heat alone. Think about her body heat Miya began tracing the air around her with random gibberish with a light blue hue in the air. She didn't have to worry about them for a long while. Could never be too careful.

Miya put her hand over her mouth to muffle her laughter as Deith teased Eve. She said it once and she would say it again. These two were really adorable, especially with the way Eve was trying to hide the face she was "excited" to come here and paint Miya playing. This caused Miya to blush more to the point a small amount of heat was escaping from under her coat.

"Umm...Well... I...Were you that excited? I mean...That's really awesome. You know how to make a girl feel loved, ya know? Umm...I'll...New piece new piece...."

Now Miya had overly embarrassed herself. Quickly brushing her hair behind her head, her blush now visible and didn't register in Miya's mind at all, she quickly began going through her bag for another piece to play as more heat began to escape from her. Luckily all her sheet music was custom made of fire proof material so she didn't have to worry about it going up in flames. Along with the back up after back up she had back in her room.

Miya found a piece. While it wasn't her primary instrument, Miya knew how to play quite a lot of stringed instruments. However she didn't grab one out and that was a problem. She also figured she wouldn't find her way through Deith's powers to find what she needed. Miya began to tie her hair back as she another piece up on the piano. Stringed instruments would be another time.

"Alright. Onto the next one."


Hey hands lined up and Miya let out a deep breath. The piano became an image in her mind as her hands began to move across the keyboard, as if they had a mind of their own.

Miya heard the snicker, but had gotten lost in her world before it managed to effect her. Her trance like state she got sometimes while playing piano made avoiding things like that so easy. As she finished up one piece she immediately went into the next one without pause. Her foot even turned to the right track. She went from dark to another rather dark piece. It was one she had heard online and tried making her own cover of it.

"This is a piece I've only played twice. How it doesn't sound too bad for you two. New at that as well."


The fire Eve was painting behind Miya on her canvas? Well as Miya started playing and the notes started to take a dramatic turn two flames began to rise from behind Miya. At first they were wild and moving about dangerously. However Miya's eyes had dimmed causing the flames to slowly start dancing together. Two figures formed, one obviously looking like Miya as the "hair" was extremely long while the other was unknown. The gender wasn't even able to be seen. A slow dance that got wild during certain key parts and slowing down into a slow dance during others.

Miya herself had no idea this was even happening.

The scrambling of feet didn't register in her mind as she played. She was immersed into her memories at this point. Her mind took her back to that day as the music played. She saw the wreck scene in her mind, her parents unmoving. As she began to imagine this her played began to slowly suffer and become off key.

The flames behind her formed into a part of the memory as Miya came out of her trance hearing the off key, seeing a strange light on the piano. Miya tilted her head up and saw her flames. She at first panicked at seeing them, which the image turned into a burning figure that quickly became more ferocious. The fire dissipated as Miya swatted the image multiple times to make it disappear. With the flames gone Miya looked back at the piano, only to hide her face in her arms.

"How....Did that even....Why that of all things...."

Her muffled voice was almost on the verge of tears. She had no idea how that even happened, or why that vision even showed. She didn't want people knowing or even seeing that. Just seeing the image could make people wonder. Miya remembered telling Eve about her....Accident and about the condition of her skin from her own flames. It could be seen as that happening.

Even while trying to remove the memory, she began to cry. Sniffles could be heard as Miya wept over the parents she lost that day. Those who nurtured and promoted her love of music. The Piano.
