[Hymn #44] ~Langsam~

[nightcrossed]

Lately I've taken to reading books about different cultures, since I noticed that not many people are even aware of what fonons are and don't seem to be able to sense them. I hadn't considered how diverse the various worlds are until just recently. In fact, it's surprising that we have anything in common, and yet there are numerous similarities between us.

I was wondering if there are any other holy days that are commonly celebrated on the island?
I recall there was "Easter" back during the blooming period with the father-and-son, egg painting, and rabbits.

Speaking of rabbits...

[OOC: Uh, yeah, it's about time Tear finally got a pet, in case anyone wanted to know. And it will be named "Fluffy" as per canon. Don't laugh, giving pet names isn't her forte!]

I guess that makes sense when you've got them all laid out like that. And being a controller of the seventh fonons means you've got more going for you. What exactly does it mean to be one, though? Like, what's so special about having that power?

Ethers and blastia . . .

Lots of seventh fonists are healers. In my case, controlling seventh fonons also allows me to use the fonic hymns - they're similar to artes (spells), only in order for one to cast them, one must have a clear understanding of the proper melodies and their meanings. The fonic hymns, fonic artes, and even fonic weaponry were developed during the Dawn Age. However, we lost much of the technology and knowledge from the Dawn Age after the Fonic War. An ordinary army equipped only with swords and shields would be no match against an army of fonists.

Fonists must be pretty capable to be able to overcome that much. Then again, it would serve that army right for entering battle with minimum equipment.

But you've actually remembered all this? You can use these fonic hymns again?

I've heard artes compared to "magic", if that helps. But yes, proper control of fonons would give the user a very obvious advantage over someone who couldn't use them at all.

I've remembered some, but I'm fairly sure I haven't remembered everything there is to know about fonons. My brother used to teach me, and I've had training, but even after being brought here, I had help. There are other people from my world in Memento Eden; some of what I know came from them.

As for the hymns, I've only remembered two of them. I believe there are quite a few more left forgotten.

All right, then . . .

Show me a few when you remember more later, when you've got the time?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I suppose that would be fine.
All right. I'll let you know when I remember more, though it may take a while.
