Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-39. Melody of soul

[Xanthea]

Azum stopped at some distance from me. His gaze tried to decipher me while his face remained unreadable.

Then he shut his eyes, his fingers glided in the air as though he were playing an invisible piano. And then his hands moved as though he was conducting an orchestra.

He started humming a beautiful melody.

I stared at him, feeling utterly confused.

"Woah~" Zosha tiptoed beside me. "He's hearing..." she whispered.

I squatted beside her.

"What is he hearing?" I whispered back.

"The melody of your soul. It's the demonic ability of his wolf. He can hear people's souls as songs in his mind. But this ability doesn't activate for everyone. He says he can hear only the souls that exist at a higher rhythm..." "Right. And... what exactly does that mean?" I asked, even more confused now.

Zosha looked me dead in the eyes and shrugged.

"This melody..." He said in a velvety soothing voice. Azum gently placed his hands over his ears. "Moonlight sonata..." he tapped his cheeks gently with his fingers. "Moonlight sonata, intertwined with the delicate harmony of Fur Elise... similar, but unique. The legato, the chorus, the verses..."

He inhaled deeply. His brows drew in feverishly, in what looked like a sad but inspiring expression. As if his muse was before him in his mind, behind his closed eyes.

"L'ho già sentito prima. Ma non è la stessa cosa... no... ma è altrettanto bello..."

"What did he say?" I asked Zosha.

"Most of the time, I have no idea what he says, but it sounds good," Zosha said. "Well, can't argue with that."

I don't know what he said, but it sounded like a musical verse the way he sang it.

"He is very unpredictable. Even he doesn't know what language he'll start speaking in. It depends on his wolf's mood most of the time. Fun fact about him, he knows almost all the languages there are in all the realms." "Woah, he is a language genius and a healer. Awesome!"

"I know, right?!" Zosha said excitedly and Azum's eyes snapped open suddenly.

"You... you are..." his eyes traveled from my hair to my eyes, tracing my facial features.

I gulped, getting up on my feet, feeling the pressure of his scrutiny all over me.

Does he... know me?

I stared at him without blinking when he said...

"You are... a mortal?" He whispered as if he was talking about something taboo. "A mortal roaming freely in Helxton?"
