Notes: Amusingly enough, I've had this written up for a while and this seemed the perfect opportunity to post it ♥



Hearts make a noise all their own. It's not the thrum of a living body that draws the heartless, it's the quiet, nearly tuneless melody each heart plays.

They follow the sound, their own bodies nothing more than empty concert halls longing for a symphony to fill it; across worlds, beyond stars, into the depths of the oceans and the height of the skies it is the song of the heart that compels them.

It says to them in soft strains hope and joy and love and warmth, it promises to fulfill something in them; something that only knows longing and hunger and cold.

They are restless, they are without music, and they will stop for nothing until they have the song for themselves.

Wow, I actually really liked this one! And quite surprising, because it didn't focus on one character, but on the heart.

haha, thanks! it's definitely a departure from what I normally submit :)

This is positively beautiful. To the point, and intensely emotive without being exceptionally descriptive. I love it.
