Changing Fate Aneisha Mihai

Chapter 22 La Sylphide

Aneisha Mihai peeked at the foreign man before her without blinking, the young girl was really curious about the man.

He turned his head and looked at the red-clothed old lady beside him.

"What are you doing ma'am?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"What do you ask?", asked Amarise.

"Watching?", said Aneisha Mihai. "You ?"

"Do I look like I'm cooking ? Of course, we are observing that foreign man !? But how do we find the clue!?", said Amarise.

"It's not like that... Why did you open your frilly umbrella ? Is there anything important?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"Oh ? I'm just in case the stranger suddenly sees us, then we can quickly get out of this place and run!", replied Amarise.

"Swurfed ? Escape where?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"Hurm as far as possible and disappear from here as far as!?", said the old woman.

"Don't you say that you can't use the magic of the past in large numbers?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"Eh !? Did I ever say that?", said Amarise.

"No ! You didn't say it just you said to me that we had to be careful and not look flashy ? Without a touch of magic" said Aneisha Mihai.

"Oh Yes ? Did I ever say that?", asked Amarise.

"Maybe...!?", said Aneisha Mihai.

"But... I was thinking that I should be more careful about what we don't want to happen, especially not let anyone see us here and find out that we're coming from the future", said Ms. Amarise.

"Well, I think it's also like that, we better anticipate bad things to happen later" replied Aneisha Mihai.

"Hmm.., that's right ! We have to be more careful!", said Amarise.

"True !", said Aneisha Mihai.

"But the stranger didn't see us in the building, did he pretend not to see us or didn't realize it?" asked Amarise.

"How can we be sure if you can't use your magic?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"That's it, I don't know either !? What should we do?", said Ms. Amarise.

"What if we throw something so that his attention is diverted to us?" said Aneisha Mihai.

"Just as we take our lives if he really sees us and if he knows we're here looking at him, then we'll get caught" Amarise said.

"Oh yes, I just realized that", said Aneisha Mihai while patting her forehead.

"It is better that we seriously observe it from here alone and keep our distance from the foreign man so as not to get caught" Ms Amarise said with a serious look.

Suddenly there was a sound coming from the Gramophone instrument played by the stranger, a foreign song in the ear of Aneisha Mihai.

The foreign man began to move his body parts slowly. He moves to do pointe work or en pointe movement that is tiptoe to toe while doing ballet movements.

His movements were very smooth and he used short steps on top of his toes.

He spun quickly on the tip of his foot and moved by doing a perfect relevance.

His en point movements were perfect then he performed a beautiful saute, as he did a plie by bending both knees, pressing his heels against the floor of the hall, and then he did a beautiful saute, then he exerted the strength of his leg muscles to push his body up so that he could jump higher.

The foreign man sauteed and landed in the plie position while moving to flow and he combined his saute with another position.

He performed en pointe with saute arabesque to make a special and perfect jump.

"What ballet dance is he pulling?" said Aneisha Mihai.

"It looks like he is dancing the La Sylphide dance with the accompaniment of orchestral music recorded on Gramophone it is a song titled Chopiniana, Op. 46 on the piano song, because the foreign man often do en pointe in every ballet dance" said Amarise Bu.

The old woman in a red dress with a lacy red hat covering her face was watching her frilly umbrella circling.

The frilly umbrella was pointing at the foreign man dancing a ballet dance and the umbrella was emitting a bright light towards the man.

"How do you know?", asked Aneisha Mihai curiously.

"I read the instructions on my lacy umbrella, this thing can read and analyze accurately what is nearby, including reading the ballet dance movements brought by the stranger", said Ms. Amarise.

"Mmm... !?", muttered Aneisha Mihai.

"I don't use magic on my lacy umbrella but when this lacy umbrella is opened by me then this lacy umbrella will automatically react perfectly and magically", said Ms. Amarise explained the function of the object in her hand.

The two of them then returned to the attention of the foreign man who did en pointe with his ballet movements and he danced it by relying on the strength of his leg muscles resting and tiptoe.

"La Sylphide?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"A story from Scotland about the tragic love story between Sylphide and a young man, it is a romantic ballet dance and is performed solo on male characters as well as a duet on the characters of the two lead actors La Sylphide when they meet", Amarise said.

"I just saw it, and the stranger danced the ballet perfectly" said Aneisha Mihai.

"And very beautiful, he was able to bring to life the male character in the story of La Sylphide who became the main character in the cast of male dancers named James", said Amarise Bu.

"He is very strong and dashing, especially when he jumps, it is amazing, even he is able to jump that high, great!", said Aneisha Mihai.

"That's the advantage of a dancer, son, there may be a lot of stigma if ballet is identical to women and is weakly gurgling but actually on the dancer requires very strong physical endurance and muscle strength because usually the dancer always performs jumping and lifting the body of the ballerina while dancing ballet" said Amarise.

"Who is he really ? And what does she have to do with us that causes us to get stuck here and not be able to go back home, Ms Amarise?", asked Aneisha Mihai.

"Nobody of us knows him, the figure of the foreign man, but if I see him, that man is a bit like someone I've met!?" said Aneisha Mihai.

"For sure, because he is the grandfather of the owner of the ballet school where you studied, and most likely you have seen someone similar to you there" said Ms. Amarise.

"That's it !? The foreign man was similar to the man I met in the room of the school owner ! Yesaa... There's that... The stranger looked like him, the man who called me bonsai!", said Aneisha Mihai.

"That foreign man is the grandfather of the man you met at ballet school, which means it also has something to do with the ballet school!" Amarise said.

"Right, Miss Amarise ! But what does that have to do with us being thrown all the way across time back to 1962 with that ballet school ? Wasn't it originally because we were going to practice ballet dance les bourgeois !? So what does this have to do with the grandfather of the owner of the ballet school, the foreign man!?", said Aneisha Mihai.

"That's the riddle we have to solve so we can go back to the future soon, son!", said Ms. Amarise.

"What if we can't find the answer ? And stuck here forever, Miss Amarise?", asked Aneisha Mihai began to worry.

***

Panic begins to come over Aneisha Mihai when she thinks they can't go back to the future, she begins to feel fear because danger still lurks her family.

Ms. Amarise tried to calm her down and said positive things to keep the young girl calm.

"Stay calm, son, and stay focused on our goal to find the clue!" said Amarise.

"Well, Miss Amarise", said Aneisha Mihai obediently.

When they observed the foreign man who was the grandfather of the owner of the ballet school, he performed a ballet la sylphide dance.

The blue light came from the red ballet shoes worn by Aneisha Mihai who began to move slowly.

"What is this ? Miss Amarise, help me!", cried Aneisha Mihai.

"Aneisha Mihai!", cried Ms. Amarise.

He saw Aneisha Mihai who was moving while dancing towards the center of the large hall room and smashed into the body of the foreign man.

The man then turned his head towards Aneisha Mihai who was sitting on the floor with her face in pain.

"Who are you ? Where did it come from?", said the stranger.

"Ehk...???", murmured Aneisha Mihai frantically.

"I ? Oh, I...?? I am Sylphide, my love... I am the dance spirit of the Sylphide dance that you are pulling.", said Aneisha Mihai lying to distract the stranger.

"Sylphide?", said the stranger astonished.

"Really... I am Sylphide, the magical spirit who came because you danced the dance... I came here because you called me...Sylphide.", said Aneisha Mihai, trying to stay calm.

"Really.", the stranger murmured.

"Do I have to lie to you ? And may I ask you a favor?", said Aneisha Mihai began her role as Sylphide.

"What?", asked the stranger.

"Please, help me to stand up!", said Aneisha Mihai, putting on a hardened face.

"Oh... All right.", said the stranger.

"James..., how about we dance together?" said Aneisha Mihai.

"What am I saying this ? Why can't my mouth stop talking ? And why am I even serving this foreign man ? Where is Amarise?", said Aneisha Mihai in her heart.

"Alright Sylphide... Let's dance together" said the man, bowing to Aneisha Mihai.

"Thank you.", said Aneisha Mihai stunned.

The young girl stood before the foreign man with both hands holding each other, and they both looked at each other.

Aneisha Mihai actually does not understand her own attitude that moves without her control and flows following the plot of the dramatic La Sylphide ballet dance story.

They slowly moved slowly to the rhythm of the music of chopin piano songs recorded on the vinyl platters installed in Gramophone.

The two dance together, and move by doing en pointe together.

Floating high by jumping up together, then landing with the plie then rotating by holding each other.

La Sylphide tells the story of a farmer named James from Scotland who falls in love with Sylphide, a beautiful aerial magic spirit.

Sylphide awakens James as he falls asleep in a chair to keep James awake.

When he sees the beautiful, winged Sylphide, James, the young farmer falls in love with the magical spirit.

The two eventually fall in love and form a love.

A young man who is predicted by an old witch will betray his own fiancee to be with the magical spirit, Sylphide.

At the wedding of James and his fiancee, Sylphide suddenly appears and pulls her away from her fiance at the party.

Sylphide takes James dancing into the woods, the magical spirit flies away from James.

Inside the forest a witch appears giving James a pink veil scarf to capture Sylphide in order for him to have.

As a result of the old witch's persuasion, James carries out the witch's orders and witches' twisted scarves to seal Sylphide, which is a magical spirit that has successfully seduced James.

To fulfill his desire to have a beautiful Sylphide then James caught the flying magic spirit but instead of getting Sylphide, he instead caused the magic spirit to die because of his broken wings.

The two are separated and unable to be together anymore, Sylphide is taken by his sister into the air while James sinks into the ground.

Eventually the two of them were unable to get together and their love story ended tragically and heartbreakingly and the old witch was overjoyed.
