Kenja's instincts kicked in, and he sprinted towards the source of the commotion. With each stride, his heart pounded in his chest. As he emerged from the grove, he saw a chaotic scene unfolding before him. The air was filled with the panicked scurrying of animals and the distressed cries of onlookers. To his dismay, Kenja discovered that a mischievous trickster had wanted to get up close with the magical creatures of the petting zoo. When their desires went unfulfilled, they released the mana beasts instead. These cuddly and adorable monsters of magic now roamed freely, their powers capable of causing significant harm if they felt threatened.
Kenja surveyed the scene, taking in the sight of the mana beasts. There was a fluffy and roly-poly Chompleaf, whose fur was a mesmerizing blend of emerald green and golden hues. Its large, round eyes shimmered like precious gemstones, reflecting a mischievous innocence. Bounding past was a Quillsprite, a small creature covered in vibrant feathers that shifted colors in the sunlight. Its wings fluttered with grace, and its eyes sparkled with an otherworldly intelligence. The Quillsprite emitted a faint, melodious hum as it danced through the air. Next, a Glimmerpaw caught Kenja's attention. It had a coat that resembled the night sky, speckled with twinkling stars that seemed to come alive as it moved. Its luminescent eyes shone with an ethereal glow, captivating all who gazed upon them.
As Kenja took in the sight of these enchanting creatures, he knew that herding them back into their pens would require a delicate touch. He remembered the tale he had once heard, the one about the minotaur calmed by the enchanting melodies of a flute. Suddenly, a spark of realization illuminated his mind—his ocarina! With practiced ease, Kenja retrieved his ocarina from his satchel. The polished instrument glinted in the sunlight, its smooth curves and intricate carvings a testament to its craftsmanship. He brought it to his lips, and a hauntingly beautiful melody filled the air.
The enchanting notes floated gently, weaving through the wind, and touching the hearts of the wandering mana beasts. The Chompleaf paused in its tracks, tilting its head inquisitively, while the Quillsprite hovered nearby, its wings fluttering slower and slower, as if entranced. The Glimmerpaw, in all its celestial glory, turned toward Kenja, eyes fixed on the ocarina. Its restless movements subsided, and it padded closer, its steps careful and deliberate. The other mana beasts followed suit, lured by the ethereal music that resonated with their magical souls. Kenja played with fervor, his fingers dancing across the instrument, the melody growing richer and more intricate. The mana beasts formed a gentle procession, their eyes filled with a newfound tranquility. As if in a trance, they made their way back towards their pens, each step measured and graceful. With the last lingering notes of the ocarina, the mana beasts willingly entered their enclosures, their wild magic tamed by the power of music. Kenja closed the gates behind them, ensuring their safety and the safety of those around them. The once chaotic scene now held an air of calmness, thanks to his skill and the harmony of his ocarina.
Breathing a sigh of relief while remaining calm and composed, Kenja knew that he had successfully completed herding the animals without causing harm to any of the mana beasts, others or himself. He marveled at the beauty and power of these creatures, appreciating their unique nature. One thing that was note of a Golden Dawn Knight is they are all prodigies of some type. In the case of Kenja it was music, specifically singing and vessel flutes. It was the most magical thing about him, outside his actual magic. Sometimes he wondered why his magic hadn't manifested magical qualities growing up, but that was for the magical theorists to sage on about.
As he left the petting zoo, the melody of the ocarina still resonating in his mind, Kenja couldn't help but wonder if the mana beasts would remember it as well or forget with the passage of time. He had witnessed firsthand the truth behind the ancient saying, "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast." And in that moment, he knew that his gift with the ocarina would forever be entwined with his adventures, a source of solace, and a conduit of harmony in a world full of magic and wonder.
