The Last Song of Avalor
Once upon a time, in a city where the skylines were decorated with sharp steeple-like structures and topped by golden domes, a city known as Avalor, a peculiar tale unfolded.
In this city, music was not just an art, rather a part of life — a way of connecting people, of expressing joy, sorrow, love, and so many untold emotions.
Amidst the bustling streets and fairy-tale-like architecture, two paths were destined to cross. A humble boy named Finn with an angelic voice and a refined girl named Selena, with the beauty to rival the setting sun. Finn was a baker by profession. However, his heart found solace not in the aroma of freshly baked bread, but in the vibrant melodies of street performers.
Whereas, Selena was the mayor's daughter. Despite being bred amidst riches and formalities, her spirit yearned for the soulful tunes echoing through the city. Her father wanted her to marry a dignified man and lead a life, void of melodious deviations. However, she dreamt of a life filled with music and shared glances with Finn whenever he visited the mayor's mansion.
One deep twilight, Finn, while delivering bread, fell from his carriage. On his recovery, he discovered that he had lost his voice in the shock. With his voice gone, he lost the charm that had once made Selena's heart swoon.
Meanwhile, Selena's father had arranged her wedding with a man she barely knew. On hearing this, disheartened Finn decided to leave Avalor forever. Before his departure, he planned to gift Selena a melody box which was the relic of his father.
But fate had other plans. An ancient prophecy lingering in the air of Avalor stated, 'When music fades from the heart, darkness will descend upon Avalor. The sun will fail to rise, and eternal darkness will prevail.’
As Finn stopped singing, and the belief in music started waning from Selena's heart, the prophecy came true. Darkness descended upon Avalor. Panic swept through the city. The townsfolk begged to the sky, prayed in the dark chapels, their hearts filled with desperation.
Seeking answers, Selena stumbled upon the ancient scrolls in her father's study where she discovered the prophecy. Piecing the events together, she realized Finn's role in this oddity. As she rushed to stop Finn from leaving, Selena found the melody box he’d left for her. Hearing the faint yet heartfelt tune, a spark of hope swelled within her.
She raced to the city's center, the melody box in hand, and shared the prophecy with the scared townsfolk. Understanding how their despair was casting an ominous shadow on their city, the citizens of Avalor decided to turn things around.
Amid her tearful plea, Selena started humming the tunes of the melody box. Her soothing voice echoed throughout Avalor, finally reassuring Finn, who was standing at the city gates, mesmerized. Seeing Selena defy her father to save her beloved city with music, Finn found his lost voice.
He started singing, his voice piercing through the haunting quiet of the eternal night. It was as though each note was fighting the darkness. Quite slowly, but definitively, dawn began to break. The golden sun shone brilliantly over the city, and life began to stir in Avalor once again.
The events led to a deep realisation: The will of people, their undying hope, and love for music saved Avalor from eternal darkness. This reestablished their belief of music being the lifeblood of the city. Finn's voice became Avalor’s favorite melody again, and Selena, defying her father, heartily embraced the love, life and music she had yearned for.
To this day, the tale of 'The Last Song of Avalor' is a legend in the city of Avalor. It is a tale of love, hope, and the magical power of music
