A Brutal Love Square

"This is the choice! This is the point of no return!"

The Phantom pulled tighter at the rope in his hands, cutting of Raoul's air supply even more. Christine became angry.

"The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!" she screamed at the Phantom.

Before either one spoke again, Raoul, with the breath he had, sang, "Christine, forgive me please forgive me! I did it all for you, and all for nothing!"

Just then, all three began singing at the same time, not being able to understand anything when a new voice entered into the mix. One which none of them had ever heard before, and it was the most spectacular voice any of them have ever heard!

"You must be crazy, must be nuts, to think that any of this matters!"

The figure emerged from a small tunnel in the water. He was tall, wearing a white shirt and black pants. His hair was untouched. Brown, and a little messy, but well placed. His eyes were a dark blue, and he had a hawk-like nose. A little crooked. He stared at all three of them.

"Who is this ignorant boy?!" Christine, Raoul, and the Phantom sang in harmony.

The boy sang back to them, "I am no boy, but a man in search of his angel of music! Long have I guided you and kept this beast from harming you, and long have I stalked this rich boy who has no love for you and only your voice!"


"What you speak is rubbish to my ears!" sang Raoul.


"Repulsive scoundrel is this man who thinks Christine belongs to him!" sang the Phantom.


Christine remained silent as this stranger stared deep into her eyes. He was almost spirit-like. Like he wasn't a man, but a ghost.


"Insolent boys! These slaves of fashion! Resting in your glory! Ignorant fools! These brave old noobs! Sharing in your triumph!"


"Angel I hear you, speak, I listen! Stay by my side! Guide me! Angel, my soul, was weak, forgive me! Enter at last, master!"


"Flattering girl I'm no angel. You are the angel this night. There is no need for forgiveness, I have kept you blind!"


"Angel of music, guide and guar-"


Christine was cut off by the Phantom. "Let it be war upon this fool!"


The Phantom dropped the rope, releasing Raoul. Raoul, and the Phantom, both took their swords from their sheathes and pointed the tips of their blades at the stranger.


The stranger took a long, ornate sword from a sheath hidden on his back that he had to hold with two hands. He lifted it high above his head, and spoke these words, before the epic battle would begin.


"My name is Ryan, and I am the master of music!"
