Cold Cello. Юлия Калашникова

      I am not a writer. I am claim for nothing. I am doing music. Exactly music is contributing for appearance of images and stories in my head – plots of the musical videos and movies. The embodiment of them on the screen would be more logical than on the paper sheet.

      This story appeared with miracle compositions of group Apocalyptica 17 April 2015. With album “Shadowmaker”. Exactly in that day there was a world release of this disk. Exactly in that day while listening of music tracks the story appeared in my head. I've seen it. And few days later I wrote it. Wrote it clumsily just for not forget.

      Then I showed this story to my friends. They liked it but said it will be better to change the end of this story and make it more detailing. I tried to make it therefore the publication was postponed. At last, I thought that I am not a writer. But my story is such a thing what I saw while listening wonderful sadly music of Finnish musicians. And I decided post it so imperfect, immature as it is. And with this ending what have to be because of music what there is in finish tracks of disk “Shadowmaker”.

      In fact, it looks like a full-length synopsis of the film, a certain scenario plan, no more. Or maybe short story. Perhaps someone will like it.

      And I also highly recommend listening to this album.

      A tale based on musical album “Shadowmaker” of rock-band Apocalyptica

      The time of darkness was coming. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky and the earth was shrouded in dark shadows. A carefree time of fun, music and sun has to finish soon.

      There were children a boy and a girl. They were friends and always played games together, laughed, walked in the garden, they were let doves into the sky, ride horses through fields and forests. A boy was played cello very nice and a girl sang perfectly with accompanied piano by herself.

      A boy lived with a girl in one castle, but they weren't brother and sister. She was a princess. And he was a prince from far Northern country what was further than girl's country Center Kingdom. Some time ago his Northern country wasn't as cold and lifeless as now.

      Some time ago there were a lot of trees from which people made miracle musical instruments what possessed magical properties.

      Suddenly a volcano woke up at Northern country. It was a most northern volcano in the world. It covered the entire Northern country with ashes killed all living things in the country. Prince's parents also died. At this time prince stayed in princess's castle because their parents were friends. So he became an orphan and remained to live in princess's castle. Princess's mother died a long time ago when she was a baby. And her father raised her. Prince and princess grew up like a brother and sister in joy and love under the tutelage of the good King.

      But once people got news from valleys that tribes from south are going to attack Center Kingdom. Then the King went on reconnaissance. But on the way his enemies killed he and only one messenger came back alive with sad news. He said that enemies are close and war has begun. Then the Prince had to go with whole army to meet the enemy. In the castle he left his magic cello which he loved so much and gave her name Cold Cello. It had name Gold Cello because it can turn stone into the gold and ore into the silver but cheerful prince called it in his own way.
