Rapossa - Legends (2021)

Continuation.
While going across the town the musicians were amazed by the dramatic changes it had suffered, it was quiet and drab.
At the appointed time, the instruments were tuned and set out. Gently and quietly they started playing their wonderful tunes. The energy music produced started spreading across the hill. At first, the birds flew together, second - other creatures, then the kids started to come from nearby, and finally the rest. Angels was sitting behind the trees not far away, he was melting softly from the pleasure.
At that moment wonders came - people became to bloom! Colors started coming back. Faces came flushy, and ringing bells of kids laugh. Grey colors of ladies dresses went bright colored again. Paws and tales returned to their original color, even the hill appeared to be brighter.
But then. Salvatori turned up.
With a mien of gloom and fury he stepped up to the meadow holding his whip. He was flapping it to the sides and he was shouting:
- Idlers! Whataya doin here? Straying from my hand again! Back to work! Iron, clean, sweep, wash! Is this what Im paying salary for? - his voice turned to squeak, and he could not stop, it sounded like a naughty drill boring through the wall. - Out, all out! Break up! Quick, go away!
The anubises were looking like disappointed, but obedient prisoners. They were wrapping the instruments totally in sorrow.
The meadow was quickly emptied. But thanks to that instant moment, the town citizens came brighter.

In the night, sitting in the wagon, the anubises were discussing the events in undertone. They could not understand what was happening. Suddenly they heard a tiny knock in the door. That was Lily.
- I have to say something very important for you, - she said in very low voice.
- Come in, quick! Anyone saw you?
- Hope not. Listen, I need to tell you. I think I understand everything. I feel I can trust you, good guys, thats why I decided to tell you. You know, the thing is that I missed the concert that night.
And - she was nearly stammering from fear, - I, I was the only human to save my color in the town! No citizen have seen me yet, I didnt want to show up. I was frightened, and I felt strange that this was such coincidence. Now I understand that color loss in our town is linked somehow to your circus, but I dont know how.

The anubises listened to her and were shocked. They could guess that Salvatori was muddling something but not to this extent! That was too much. At this very moment the Moon hid himself at the wagon. He was Salvatoris informant. He saw Lily running along the whole town with her fear on her face, and he decided to follow her.
- Lily, dont worry, - said Arcy. Well take care. No fear. Want a cup of hot chocolate? I will take you home after.

The next day, early in the morning they decided to make another urgent meeting in the forest. All gathered in the hollow.
- So, agenda is - to bring town colors back! What were gonna do, guys?
- I think, we need another concert in the secret place as the music fills people with colors, - said Stan firmly.
- But what if Salvatori finds this out again and break up? Inefficient - Arcy took the part of a chairman.
- In this case we need to invent a permanent source for music. So that it sounds as if it comes down from the skies, and Salvatori cant find it, where to run - Sean was thinkinking out loud.
- Yes, good idea. Were gonna make a record! - August was struck, - and we will put it on in the Circus.
- Record. good idea but how can we make it? And there is no way to put it on in the Circus, - answered Arcy thoughtfully.
- We need to make out something else. Anubises completely forgot about Angelis, sitting as usual under the tree listening to the meeting.
- Look, - he started with his velvet tone, - Ive got a gramophone with a record option. So what if we play your record on my gramophone and I will fly around conveying the music to everyone?
- Genius! Lets do it! Yeah! - they all rejoiced in unison.
