Night Time
At night time, Balthazar uses his hands and legs to play his claviorgan, a luxury musical instrument to Minnie, for it is a mixture of the pipe organ and harpsichord based on the strings and the picks inside the instrument. The piece he plays is the famous motif “Dies Irae”, but he is now playing the very original version Gregorian Chant version, unlike the rest that is created, this very original version is a medieval style with a very simple choir and a very quiet mood, a really “ requiem rest” version instead of Mozart’s or Verdi’s “ best morning alarm clock version” which I joke “ if I hear any of them in my funeral, I bet I will wake up and sing the first line along loud”.
I hold David to walk into the room’s door but quickly, for it is rude to interrupt someone’s playing.
“ I never heard Balthazar play, what about you,david?”
“ Yes, Minnie, I am the same as you, I never can tell the old man can play musical instruments.”
“ is it a mixture of organ and harpsichord, minnie?”
“ I guess so, David, blind guess from the sound it creates. He is really either rich or looting a church in the past or having a very strong ability on remember music and along with skills to hiding it secretly”, look at the Holy sheet music over that file on this table, I pointed to the left table, there is a parchment texture like paper on it, the paper is a medieval style sheet music, and I saw the title is Media Vita - Medieval Crusaders Song, a medieval chant that normally church at that time will not allow anyone to take away the sheet music.
After the music is over, balthazar sees us and lets us in.
“I do play, the piano in Acara Cabana is a piano not for selling, I play on it sometimes in the past. But I didn’t practice for year.”
“ The one say didn’t practice but can even play with legs.” Roast by David.
“yes, it’s a memory that I trained for more than 100 years. Being a vampire doesn’t mean you don’t need to practice, the musical talent don’t rise or improve when you don’t practice,Minnie,as for the score,the sheet music is from this century, I just use different methods by hand to let it look old and copy all the notes on it.”
“ Balthazar, can I play on your instrument?” “ sure.”
As I am playing. Balthazar uses his deadly sorcerer master's gaze on David and puts his hands around David’s shoulder. “Fear me now? Tell me the truth, don't lie, I can read minds”
David looks at Balthazar, his master’s eyes are still blue in the normal way he sees at night, but it seems like they can see through David, and David feels like he is an open book to his master. “A bit not okay. I know you are frightening. As you said to me once, “ From here on out, you’re scared of one thing and one thing only: you, Balthazar Blake.” I in the past believed you were frightening as just a master sorcerer, but the moment I saw your dad, Horvath, and the rest holding you tight with their strength not to let you kill the guy , I fear your power and I still fear, sorry.”
Balthazar hugs David and kisses his forehead “It’s normal, even Minnie fear at that moment.” He kisses David’s forehead once more, later his chest and his back, David trembles a bit for he knows Balthazar is marking him as he feels Balthazar is using his fangs to kiss him and infusing a part of his magic into him, each kiss is a spell, a strong protection spell.T he kisses are deep into his heart and soul. As the last kiss is being kissed on his back, balthazar enters David’s body and the vampire king’s aura makes David’s soul can only tremble.
Balthazar, within David’s Body, echoes to his apprentice: I will always be with you, and I will never harm you. Fear my power but not me.
Balthazar kisses David’s soul with his mouth and fangs once more, later kisses his heart and exits, reappearing in front of David again.
“What happened, Balthazar?”
Balthazar just touched David’s chest and hugged him, kissing David’s back again with his fangs, “A gift from a vampire, you are marked by me and forever marked by me.”
Balthazar opened two portals and let Me and David each go back into our school hostels so that we could prepare for the coming university boring lectures.
