Hey guys ^^ This is my updated version of Retrieving the Lost. It's temporarily discontinued, but due to the fact that my folders are flooded with unfinished stories, I'm post it here on YWS so I can clean out my files. xD I just remembered this was my failed attempt at JulNo, so I apologize for it not being up to my usual standards.
Preface:
A swarm of children flooded the dimly lit streets. Only the sound of music filled the empty air; a single enchanting melody with magic as its soul. With their eyes wide open, and their minds lost in dreamland, they walked forward, following the spellbinding sound.
Waiting at the end of the pier was a polished, brown vessel adorned with brilliant, yellow Christmas lights like a carnival ride. The strings of light reflected on the water’s surface with a faint glow.
One by one, they filed down the pier and onto the ship, all traces of conscious stolen from their eyes. Up on the tallest mast was the source of the melody, a figure draped in shadow with fingers flitting across an instrument with unparalleled skill. The wings of the ship’s figurehead seemed to flutter as its wild tresses flew behind it; her eyes glinted a shade of rich gold. Something nearby crackled like thunder, and the ship was off.
------------
Just realized I only needed the preface to keep the idea.
