        Eyes only remained open for a moment to flutter close and listen to the music. His words danced in her head – she loved to hear music... She supposed her own mother had loved to hear music, but she didn’t know all that much about Avalona. It broke her heart… But at least he had some connection with his.     It doesn’t matter, Evelyn. Tomorrow is a new day.      She swayed with the music’s rise and fall, breaths slowing and body calming. Evelyn could cry, something so special and so beautiful… Did someone TRULY see her Lathander-given powers as something so beautiful but in a different way than sight? She smiled despite the tears that wanted to well up. Chipper spirit now more calm, a compliment from the lips of the blonde.         “…Wow… That was real… nice… No, wow, that was absolutely beautiful. I don’t… You might find this hard to believe, but I don’t have many words.”

   Her music was very interesting to him. The sounds and instruments he heard creating a warm feeling in his chest. Lathander clearly shone through her. The paladin embodied the music well and he applauded whatever being gave him his magical gift for letting him hear what he coujld only assume said being could hear. “I’m glad I can show it to you. Even if I can only give a viola version of the music I can at least show you the melody. I can assure you, it is beautiful.”

        She was intrigued with every word he said, hanging on to each one as if her life depended on it. The boring sea below would hurt if she let go of the comforting magic that held her up top. He was that for her in this moment, an embrace that kept her hanging on by the second. With each word came more intrigue. Hearing magic? What a lovely gift!        “She seems real sweet! She taught you well, that was just beautiful…”       Stray hums of the song passed in through the air as she swayed along to a now songless melody.         “Wait… You can… You can HEAR MAGIC? Like MUSIC?”       She was now fully on that mountain of faith and magic, basking in the sun’s rays as they shone upon her in form of full knowledge.         “You don’t look mad at all. You’re just doin’ what you do best! I… I don’t wanna ask, we just met, but…”        Eyes met with his figure as she scooted forward in enhanced intrigue. This man had a shining light within him, Evelyn could see that. It radiated from his heart and only brightened when he spoke.

   Flynn missed his mother. Missed her gentle laugh and her way with his sisters. She would have taken to Evelyn quickly. Alas, he would have to make the choices she would have made and try to find a way to free his people. “She loved to hear music. My sisters and I would sit by her side for hours listening to the latest travelling bards.” A soft smile crossed his face. “I can.” Her music had filtered into his ears and he couldn’t help but want to write it down. A chuckle left him. "I can show you what you sound like. What song your magic makes.” He picked back up his viola and began to play.

      The lights from the stars in the sky were borrowed for the moment to capture themselves among sea of blue, hues twinkling as the bard mused about his capabilities. The moment’s stresses were forgot in the song of his voice and Evelyn felt such an unabashed happiness at his explanation. Music didn’t even have to be playing and she felt the notes as they moved through the air with his voice.       “I might… He doesn’t like answerin’ questions all that much, but I’m sure he’d be real happy to answer this one! It’s ‘bout his music, after all!” Once again, the stars shone if not only for her to express her joy in a gasp and eyes that once again shone.       “Your mom taught you? OOH– magical gift?”      The word is said like an interested child being told a bedtime story, belief in the magic of existence itself and the magic that music provided. Instant conviction for someone who was so optimistic and believed in the innate good within all… A light in the darkness.        “What’s the magical gift? I have a friend - she knows a whole lot ‘bout magic, but I’m not all that great with knowin’ that kinda stuff…”

   Sometimes he wished people could hear what he heard. So they could experience the world as he did. And yet, no one he had met so far shared his gift. Maybe he was some outlier. Or crazy. Either way, he wouldn’t attempt to fix it. Losing the music he had heard since he was a child might actually send him crazy. He hoped the other bard hadn’t started to lose a love for the craft. Evelyn seemed to enjoy music and he would hate to see her deprived of it. “She did. She was very musically inclined.” Of course she’d want to know about that. Who was he to deny her that knowledge? “I can hear magic. To me, it sounds like a song or a musical melody. Every magical creature or item has its’ own song. Every spell has a melody that I re-create so I can use said spell. It does come with the downside that I probably look a little mad listening to music only I can hear but I don’t know how to live without it.”

❛ it is just used for jam, i promise. though i am sure someone out there could use it for power… ❜

“anything can be a power if we harness it.”

[aspctofbother]

britt is very curious about what her song might be... 👀

Britt has a lot of power and experience and Flynn has seen that. I think Roundtable Rival fits her perfectly. The confidence in her magic. I can see her kicking ass and taking everyone down solo while Flynn just claps cause he’s so proud of her.

         SONG HERE.

[aspctofbother]

give me the song for strix 2 pls

If you ignore the beginning introduction speech cause this is from a musical, Thunderchild is totally Strix. The lyrics of the song match her so well and the instruments all just reflect a battle and erratic panic to try and escape which sounds a lot like a certain Trash Witch. Sure, the song ends with the Thunderchild being defeated but one boat got away and we know Strix would fall to let the party live.

         SONG HERE! @knowsmagic

[aspctofbother]

I’m listening to music to find these songs and I remembered how good the War Of The Worlds musical is.

[aspctofbother]

giVE ME THE SONG,

I think Evelyn would have a song I don’t know the true name of cause finding the OST for Merlin is very hard but this video of it calls it The Love Theme. It contains a very strong string section and it reminds me of her during her moments in the Soul Monger thinking of her friends and those she was saving.

     SONG HERE MY DUDES.

[aspctofbother]

I’m heading to bed cause it’s late but if you wanna find out what song Flynn hears when he’s with your muse (granted they either have magic, a magical item or come from somewhere of magic) then send me an ask demanding your song. Let me show you what my magic boy lives with.

plainborn:

pay no mind to the pink dusting her cheeks an tinting the tips of her ears. ❛ that was — um, i was joking. ❜

“i refuse to believe that cherry power is a joke, britt. it’s clearly a real thing.”

[aspctofbother]

plainborn:

❛ cherries are the source of my power. i have to eat a large amount at a time. ❜

“i can’t fault that. your power, judging by that box, must be quite a spectacle.”

        Flynn’s music had something special about it, the way the waves met with the air made her eyes flutter shut and hands move up close to her chest, over her heart. She managed to hum along with the melody pretty well, even harmonizing to an unknown tune. From the very moment that the music started, she was drawn in. Lathander would surely be proud of such a calming melody, one that radiated light and love, a flow so gentle and serene. In fact, she might have gotten a little too caught up in the music a bit too much, because as it continued she fell deeper and deeper into this melody.          “Mmmm, this is real nice. Paultin doesn’t really do much playin’ anymore, ‘less he’s doin’ a spell… I miss the times when I could just sit down and let the music take me away, but… Well. That’s in the past, and this is now. Today is a new day, and that song was… Wow! It was just beautiful! Did you teach yourself?!”

    He had practised for many years. Each song carefully worked on to match up either to a spell or the sounds he heard. It helped keep him calm. Even if it came with the price that sirens and those who used sounds and music to lure victims were very effective on him. Music just had a bigger impact on him due to his connection with magic. He grinned. “Well I’m sure he has a reason why he doesn’t play for leisure any more. Perhaps just ask him? I did not. I was taught by my mother when I started showing a proficiency in the piano as a child. Due to my, I guess, magical gift, my mother taught me to play a variety of instruments.”

lightbecame:

         “Then Evelyn I shall be!”        It was a relief for someone to so easily go by what she preferred as names were concerned. No explanation, no questioning, it just WAS. When he placed his case on the table, eyes were practically sparkling as she looked from him to his instrument. Oh, how she LOVED music! It was one of the ways she showed her love to the Morning Lord the most. One of her favorite hymns from her early years was Sunset’s Promise, sung to her by Master Sunbright… Daylight is waiting, each night has an end… Sunset promises sunrise will come…       “I’ll make ya’ a deal, Flynn. While I tell ya’ ‘bout the Morning Lord, you mind playin’ some music? I’m real fond of music! In fact, one of my friends is real good at music, the BEST! He’s part of the Drunk and Dying tour, I’m sure you’ve heard of him.”

     He loved playing for people. Letting them get a glimpse of the world he lived in. Where sounds were all over the place and magic was more than just a visual effect or a power. It was a song. “I would be more than happy to do that.” He opened the case to reveal a sleek black viola with the same crest as the ring on his finger. An open book with flowers coming around the edges, on one page a treble clef and the other a sun not too far off the sun of the morning lord. He picked up the instrument. “I can’t say I have but I would love to hear him play.” And with that he began a soft warming melody. The sound he had often heard when his mother had walked with him by the lake where the merfolk had lived.

[aspctofbother]

lightbecame:

       “–The impression I– oh gee, that’s real kind of you! I guess I can call you whatever you want me to call ya’! You can call me Evelyn! In fact – PLEASE do! It’d be an honor!”         Flush spread from cheek to tips of ears; she was easily flustered.         “You’re travelin’? I’m travelin’ too! I’d be happy to tell you ALL ABOUT Lathander, if you’d like!”       This was rare; someone actually WANTED to hear about her faith? It made her absolutely gleeful.          “I’m actually here with the friends I’m travelin’ with! We all wanted to rest before settin’ out later!”

     “Then Evelyn I shall call you.” The bard placed his viola case onto the table. This would be a good place to play if already he was meeting interesting people like her. Travelling was a strong word for what he was doing. More running away to avoid being murdered by an evil ex. But he didn’t wish to burden her with that knowledge. “I would love that. I am always welcome to learning about another faith. And resting is good. Don’t want to tire yourselves out and risk something happening.”

[aspctofbother]

lightbecame:

        Oh, how JOY filled her heart when - after all this time, someone FINALLY wanted to hear the word of the morning lord! The joy was hardly in-containable as winged boots fluttered off of the ground slightly. Not enough to fly, but enough to hover.        “Well, Mister Scatterflow, I am Evelyn Avalona Helvig Marthain, Servant of Lathander and His Faithful Paladin! It sure is nice to meet ya’! I’ve heard real good things about Mystra! What do you mean you haven’t seen any of Lathander’s servants ‘round? I’m sure there’s plenty of us, but…”        Feet touch the ground and she bounces when she lands, flush spreading ‘cross cheeks.          “All the same, it’s a pleasure!”

   She could fly? That was interesting. Then again, he could hear music all the time cause he was surrounded by magic so could he truly judge? “I must say you make quite the impression Evelyn Avalona Helvin Marthain. I might stick to calling you Evelyn however. It really is a beautiful name. You can call me Flynn as well. And alas I have been travelling as of late and the places I have found myself have been rather lax on their faiths in any deity.” He grinned at her. “The pleasure is all mine, I assure you. What brings you here?”

[aspctofbother]

@lightbecame + ask

   a smile lit up his face. “why THANK YOU. my name is flynn scatterflow. what, may i ask, is your name? and i see the sign of lathander on your chest. it’s been a long time since i’ve met a supporter of the morning lord. while my personal god of choice is mystra i am not adverse to the teachings of lathander.”

[aspctofbother]

So people know: Flynn Scatterflow has an ability where he can hear magic as music. Each person has a song or melody he relates to them. He hears how a spell sounds and learns the spell by replicating the music he hears.
