Introduction and Author's Notes:
I would really appreciate it if people commented on the originality of the story and concept. I always like to be original, but for some reason I can't get that feeling here. If any suggestions would help improving this and making it a little bit more unique, I will really appreciate it and of course, you will be in the credits.
Story:
“Ophelia” is an old lady who used to be a very talented priestess in the terms of singing. She had the most beautiful voice on lands, that with her singing powers she could make the animals come to her temple’s garden, heal the wounded asking her for help and grow the flowers blooming the roses. She lived happily and peacefully and asked for nothing but for the happy life to continue forever.
However, although she was a great and well-respected priestess, her prays for the happy life to last were not answered. The priestess loved a young man who was much younger than she was, but love blinded her to see how bad the guy actually was. Jealous of how everyone loved that woman, he stole the music box from which she got her lovely singing. And with that, her beautiful voice was gone and the guy she loved was no longer to be seen anywhere.
Heartbroken but even more devastated for losing her voice, Ophelia went for her closest friend and wisest pal, “Felicia”. She was an old lady as well although older than Ophelia. Felicia gave her a music box that could help her as a placeholder to use her powers normally although in a limited manner.
Accepting the help and the gift, the priestess decided to set on her quest and to go searching for her lost talent that was stolen by her love, using her singing powers wisely to go through the obstacles.
