Short Narrative Story
The living instrument had many musicians, however none would ever prove worthy of wielding it. Time after time, the musicians struggled to harmonise, much less keep up, with the enthusiastic instrument. Once again left to aimlessly wander after another failing musician, the instrument hesitates upon hearing a wondrous yet melancholy sung tune deep within the woods. Enchanted and enticed by the charming singing, the instrument wanders closer to the source of which a saddened bard reveals form. The instrument, fascinated by melody, questions the sorrowfulness of the bard. The bard responds with a long and detailed poem of his many, many troubles. The poor bard suffered from a serious affliction called musical talent, one that was far too strong. The bard had tried many instruments but time after time the instruments couldn’t handle the sheer musical prowess of the bard. Every instrument the bard ever played broke and what is a bard if without an instrument?
The instrument, upon hearing the woeful tale, laid its body into the hands of the bard in a silent offering of its use. Although with a moment of indecision, the bard’s hands flew to begin playing the instrument and sing along. A harmonious, jolly and powerful melody began to emerge from where they stood. The melody flowed for hour after hour, with no mistakes or troubles; just pure delight and euphoria in sync with one another. From that moment, the two realised they were destined for each other. As a bard’s instrument and an instrument’s bard, the two left together to bring joy to people and stop those who bring despair and destruction.
