In the field it is possible to see a child guiding a group of slaves who place a harness and a plow to a bull, clearly the animal does not seem to like it but the nose ring hurts when it tries to resist, to end up losing its strength of will and follows the instructions of the slave.

Flavio, Julia, and Sadiki can see how one of the most stubborn farm animals acts docilely and allows plowing the field, Flavio looks sadiki and says in a triumphant voice

"I understand that slaves do the plow or horses, but the advantage we have to use the bulls is that they consume less food than a horse and are stronger than man, simply a revolution to the field, but we can not sit on our laurels

I want you Sadiki to say the slaves gather dry leaves, fish remains, bones, food remains, straw and enough barrels we will compost a fertilizer that will improve our crops, unfortunately, can be used after one month"

Sadiki ordered the slaves to fetch the materials and Julia retired to receive a massage, while Flavio returned to the farm where he could hear the sound of a harp coming from one of the slave quarters

Flavio has the habit of know and hypnotizes all the servitude, he remembers the name of each of his servants but usually does not pay attention until they are of some importance to him or otherwise are only generic slaves or subjects without importance

In this case, the sound gave him the curiosity and he entered the small room, he could see how a slave with beautiful brown hair and green eyes played the instrument with delicacy, despite being a rather simple melody it gave off an air of calm

Flavio lost in the melody until it stopped and do not hesitate to give strong applause that frightened the young woman who until a moment ago was playing with relative calm "Young master sorry if my music has bothered you"

Flavio shook his head "Not, on the contrary, I liked your performance, I just think the way you play the harp is beautiful, and you have given me a great idea, some time ago I want to give a gift to my mother, accompany me, Hazel. "

(The song can be found in the comments of the author, I recommend that you listen to it while reading the next part I'm sure you'll like it)

In the courtyard Flavio ordered that chairs be placed, also sent to call all slaves who knew to play an instrument or sing, also asked to bring 2 large harps and some flutes, while the slaves accommodate the great harps in the place Flavio asked

Julia was taking a sweet Schnapps rate while receiving the massage that she loved so much, while curiously observing what her son was doing (The massage room faces the patio, the Romans did not have a concept of privacy as we currently have it)

Flavio sat down on one of the chairs and asked Hazel to observe the melody he was going to play, Flavio's hands slid over the harp string, releasing a quiet relaxing sound, which transported you to some land of fantasy, in spite of having few notes the sound fulfilled its function

She sees with great care the notes that their young master was playing, Flavio explains how to play correct this notes, she takes a seat in the other Harp and following Flavio's hands and guide began to imitate the strings he played, it took approximately 10 minutes to fully imitate the melody

After that he asked among the slaves who could play the flute, once he met 2 of them he started to play a melody very similar to the harp, the sound like the harp was a wrapper, the two flute players took 15 minutes to imitate Flavio

After making sure that the melody was the same he ordered that one of the forges be brought a group of elongated and not very heavy pieces of metal, from major to minor, also indicated that these should be perforated at the top, also requested a piece of wood. and thread

Flavio wanna cry because there was no violin in this era and promised himself that he had to "invent" it, however, it was no essential the melody only occupied the violin as an accompaniment and not as a principal sound he would remove one feeling of the song but not the soul,

He meets with a group of slave women and cleared his throat with a glass of water and began to sing "Ah, ahh, ahh"

Because Flavio is a child he has a high voice, which can easily imitate the tone of a woman, therefore, the sound produced by her vocal cords gives off an air of mysticism as if a fairy was singing, the sound fascinated everyone, once Flavio finished he began to guide the women, to imitate their singing

Unlike the other two instruments it took them 2 hours to imitate the sound as Flavio wanted it, this gave enough time for the metal pieces as they wanted them to be delivered, when they arrive he grabs the pieces from the smallest to the largest and hung them taking up the thread on the wooden stick, despite being a fairly rustic instrument can produce a sound similar to the one you are looking for

He takes a bull ring and only add a piece of yarn for making other rustic instrument and gave to a little slave girl, he showed what she had to do for playing it, the sound is very similar to a triangle but not the same

Unfortunately one of the original instrument of the song is a marimba who also promised to make one when he had time, but fortunately the sound what need for the song can be imitated as much as possible with the bull ring, he ordered that a wooden stick was put a wool filling and tied with a small cloth in the tip

After that Flavio began to try different parts of the ring until he found where the sound was closer, he marked with small scratch parts of the ring that sound like what he wants and showed the girl the movement that she had to do, the little one took just a few minutes to imitate him perfection

Flavio began to train his musicians the time, for that he asked that with one of his feet they played as if they walked that way they will know in what time they played

Hazel opened the melody, together with Flavio on the harps, then Flavio moved his hand indicating the flutists to start playing

The sound of the harp was fused with the noise of the flutes creating a more magical atmosphere, at that moment the calm was disturbed with a sound ( Coming from the instrument that Flavio made with the pieces of metal) similar to an opening

It was momentary but it marked the silence of the flutes to allow the voice of the women to make their appearance, the magic of the song now seemed to have a divine touch

Julia followed this up for a short time and then listened to the flutes accompanied by the sound of the ring of the bull

It was a very sharp sound, but it spiced up the song, this was no longer the farm now is sacred ground, for that present who are listening to the song, they never heard anything like this

the song began to silence, the ring stopped slowly and the flutes were silent to allow the harp to say goodbye, little by little the harp stopped

Those present woke up from their illusion that the melody provoked them, the applause was heard and then others, the calm was interrupted by the applause that rained down the musicians

When Flavio stopped playing the harp he gets up of his chair and bowed "This song is called Great Fairy's Fountain, it's a song that believes as a gift to my beloved mother"

Julia listened to what are saying her little son and tears welled up in her eyes, she got married very young and became pregnant at a young age

she always felt uncomfortable for taking care of her young son, but after he was 5 years old something changed in him for better, now she feels proud of being the mother of Flavio and more after listening to this song that her son makes with effort only for their sake

She does not regret for been a mother young, she approached her little son and hugged him tightly

Flavio asked his mother "Mama, did you like my gift? "

Julia said in tears "I loved my son, can you repeat this song again "

"Of course mama"

That night the sound of the harps continued, Flavio had inadvertently created a small song that in the future it became very common play to the mothers as a sign of love and respect ...
