Chapter 1 – Apart but not Separated
The land of Operetta is at it’s most dire moment in all of its history. It is under siege by demonic forces that wish to claim it to start the end of the world. The Church and her forces have stopped the spread of evil around the borders of the land but have only managed to rescue a few families and kingdoms since the armies of Hell are stronger in the center of Operetta. While they make up a plan to exorcise the demons from the land, two royal families hold out in the very center of the demonic infestation. They are held up in their castles blessed by the Pope himself. Statues of the saints, angels, the Blessed Mother, and her Child keep away demons around the edges of the castles and the interiors. Their faith and love keep their blessings active and their protectors by their side. They could hold out until help arrives, but there is another problem besides absolute evil outside the gates. There is a boy named Legato and a girl named Arietta from the families that love each other. Because their love is strong, and their ways are pure, God has allowed them to talk to each through song.
Today is another day for them as they live in isolation from the world and each other. They sit by their bedside windows and look in the direction where the other is supposed to be.
Legato
The single life can be good to people
It keeps them concentrated on their happiness
Let’s them worry about one less person
Arietta
Single people don’t need to worry about children
About having to raise their own child
About having to put themselves last
Legato & Arietta
But that’s not the life I want
I don’t care about the costs
The price of love
The agony it causes
It doesn’t matter what other people say
I will fight through all the pain
Just to be with you
You make it all worth it
You complete me
Arietta
I don’t know what I would be without you
My temptations for beauty would overcome me if it weren’t for you
Legato
I wouldn’t be the man I am today if you didn’t exist
I’d overwork myself till I died of exhaustion
Legato and Arietta
But because you’re with me
I’m in love
I’m happy
I have a reason to live
No matter what lies ahead
I will fight through all the pain
Just to be with you
Stay forever with me
Keep me near your heart
No matter how far we are apart
You will always be with me
Our love will never die
You are my hope
My salvation
A burning fire that keeps me alive
I will love you forever and always
A force between them feels like it’s trying to pull them together. This force is pure and appears to be talking to them. They can’t exactly hear what it’s saying, but they understand what they’re supposed to do. Confidence, courage, and strength fill their souls as they quickly move away from their bedside windows. Legato grabs a spare set of knight armor and a single sword. Arietta grabs a rosary and two daggers. After they grab what they need, they sneak out their families’ castle and into the demonic wasteland.
Even though they don’t have a map or directions, they can sense where the other is and they head in their direction. Demonic forces are awakened by the presence of people in their land, so they gather to attack Legato and Arietta. The demons are confident in their numbers and strength while the lovers are sure that they will meet each other soon.
