"You play the guitar"
He jumped and looked at me
"Wait, you can hear it?!"
He said quite surprised actually and I wonder why, it's just a guitar.
"Yeah dickhead I'm not deaf"
He rolled his eyes and sighed because he was annoyed, I kind of like making him annoyed, it's cute and funny. Wait. Cute? Yeah it's cute.
"I know but this isn't a guitar humans can hear" he trailed off but continued as he held his guitar with one hand. "I wo-how are you hearing this?" I could see his body clearly, it was like an actual human, to be honest if I would have seen him in the streets I would've thought he was human.
"I uh, wait here" he stuttered and disappeared, I knew he was actually gone away from the house, the feeling wasn't the same. Not mentally for me, I mean the air actually felt different.
I waited for hours, until I got fed up and decided to go back to my room and actually get a good night sleep.
"Shawn"
"Shawn don't leave"
"Shawn come back"
"I hate you"I mumbled, it was a complete lie. I felt empty without him to tease me or be annoyed by me. Everything felt different.
I walked back to my room and got in the sheets, I quickly fell asleep.
//SHAWNS POV//
I've never heard about this. There's this thing called Ghosts Inc, they know everything and I'm getting there so that I'll be able to make an appointment and ask how it's possible that she was able to hear my guitar.
"Hello, my name is Shawn, Shawn Mendes, I would like to make an appointment"
The lady looked up at me and nodded
"Year of death, and parents please"
"2015, Karen and Manny"
"What do you need an appointment for"

"I need to ask questions, something happened and I need answers"
"We happen to have an opening, would you like to have an appointment right now?"
I nodded
"That would be great, thank you ma'am"
She nodded and directed me to a room at the end of the hallway.
I thanked her and walked over to the door.
Anxiety was starting to build up but my curiosity was stronger. I was eager to know why Amanda Heart, Heart out of all people, could hear me play guitar. It's technically impossible.
"Hey Mr. Mendes, would you like to take a seat?"
He asked, but it was more like "sit in the chair", so I sat and looked at him. I couldn't wait for him to ask me what the issue was so I just blurted everything out.
"This girl, she moved in into the house I was killed in. She's lived there for two weeks, at first I was trying to scare her off but then I realized she wasn't so b-"
He sighed and looked at me with a "I don't care" look
"Get to the point would you"
I sighed and continued.
"I was mad so I went to the attic to play guitar, a ghost one. It was the object I picked" he nodded and waited for me to continue.
"Well she heard it"
His mouth opened and he couldn't talk
"Is it bad?? What's happening??"
He managed speak a few words.
"You..you guys have a bond" he continued seeing I was quite confused;
"It seems like you guys have created a bond, which means your meant to be together forever"

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
