[EDIT]

Thanks to BlackAttackBitch's amazing review, I've decided to add one more final movement. Mainly because his storyline goes with this movement is so perfect, and it forces another movement to be made to finalize the series.

If you haven't read BlackAttackBitch's review, make sure you do. It is amazing, and simply follows the storyline perfectly from where I had left off in the second movement of this piece. So hopefully I will be posting the fourth and most likely final movement of this series in the very near future.

[END EDIT]

The full title of this piece is "The Chronicles of Lizette A'Nyei Op. 1 No. 3, Constructive Destruction." It is the final movement in the Chronicles Series I started several months ago. Also, I entered it into "The Song Title Challenge." I suggest if you want to understand the entire story, go listen to the first two movements in the series.

In the first two movements I was very specific about the storyline. But for this final movement I want the listener to envision the ending however and wherever the music takes them. I think that will have a much more powerful effect than if I simply wrote down the "ending" of the story.

So feel free to leave commentary on what you hear, felt, and/or saw in your mind while listening to this. I am very anxious to hear what you got from this experience.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy this piece.

"This..."

Is Epic, but the 2nd one still gives me goosebumps every time. It's still my #1 fave song.This might have been even better if you made your own story, cause...
i'm speechless.

Another great addition to the series, as usual an awesome cinematical sequence, easy to see what the sounds relay. Clear sound quality, lots of varation and instrumental detail. Keep them coming!

"Hmm, extremely creative, no?"

date: September 12, 2009

Props man. I'm feeling bittersweet, mainly because the series is ending, but that's because I always want moar. xP

Really though, the music was great. The finale was damn good, worthy of being...well, a finale!

A very unique twist to make a story then leave the entire ending up to the listener. I saw BlackAttackBitchs' review, it was great. I only read the first part however, and did not read the story. This is because I want to listen to it and see what _I_ can come up with, THEN I'll read BAB's review. I mean, after all, it's great, but there's a difference between choosing to read BAB's version and pretending that the story went that way only.

Overall, great job man. I'll be checking out the rest of your music shortly. Best of luck.

There is actually going to be one more final movement. Simply because BlackAttackBitch's review/story was so amazing, and I feel I can't just let his story end unfinished. So don't worry, it isn't quite completed yet. ;-)

I'm glad you liked this movement bud. I have gathered some better samples since writing the first two movements, as I'm sure you could tell by listening to them all back to back. Hopefully that will help the fourth and final movement be something even more epic than the first three are.

Thanks for the review.

"Holy crap"

I just listened and read all your Chronicles.
I have to say, i really enjoy listening to your music, but these songs are really special. I had goosebumps!
Now i know how much you like it when people write stories that go along with, so i will do just that. However, i won't write an ending of the story you started, but i will write a whole new one. This is because i read Blackattackbitch's review and i don't think i can come up with something better.

Prologue:
This story is about Ívarr.
Ívarr lives in Norway, around 1900. He lives in a village called Tørkæ, near the sea. The men who live in the village are pirates and when they run out of supplies they plunder other villages with brute force.
When they plundered a village there's not much is left of it, except a couple of burning houses and corpses laying on the ground. That's why the men of the village of Tørkæ are feared by many other villages. And when the name of the men of the village of Tørkæ is heared, people begin to speak about Ívarr who is the brutal leader of the men of the village of Tørkæ.
And when they return home to their village, they are welcomed like soldiers who have just won a war, but that is far from what they have really done.

00:00-00:15
Ívarr wakes up in his house.
His wife made him some fish for breakfast.
Ívarr says to his wife: ''I don't want fish for breakfast!''
''You have to eat breakfast'' his wife responds. ''We don't have any other food left, you and the man will have to get new supplies today.''
Ívarr mumbles a bit and starts to eat his fish.
00:16-00:48
After he ate the fish he starts to gather the men of the village.
''Today'' Ívarr speaks. ''Today, we are going to plunder another village. But this time, it will not be easy. We already plundered a lot of other villages and as you know we have a rule that we never plunder the same village twice. So this time, we will have to plunder the village of Mæri.''
00:49-01:04
Everybody holds their breath. The men of the village of Mæri are their greatest enemies. Just like the men of the village of Tørkæ, they plunder other villages for supplies. The only big difference is, that they are not violent and brutal. But when it comes to it, they are really good fighters.
01:05-01:38
The men kiss their wifes goodbye and get on board of the ship. Then the ship sails away, in the direction of the village of Mæri.
During the trip the men are very silent. They know that some of them might not reach the end of the day.
01:38-03:00
Ívarr starts to speak to his men: ''Men, we all know that it's going to be a tough day today. Some of us might not survive. If you don't want to fight with me, then speak up now, because i want to let you know that fighting with me is a choice. Do you choose not to fight and slowly die of starvation or do you choose to fight with a risk that you might die in the battlefield?! Can you imagine a death more heroic and beautiful that dieing in a battle field? I don't! Do you want to fight with me?!!''
''YEAH!!''
03:01-03:57
The ship slowly turns around a corner and in the distance they can see the village of Mæri. Nobody speaks as they slowly approach their target.
03:58-04:04
All of the men grab their weapons and the ship arrives at the village. They run towards the village screaming and shouting.
04:05-04:59
The battle begins.
Blood is everywhere. Women are screaming and children are running. But the men of the village of Mæri fight back.
The men of the village of Tørkæ try to kill everything that comes in their sight with brute force, but it doesn't work. The men of the village of Mæri are much better fighters and soon Ívarr notices that he is the only one left. His opponents are surrounding him and their leader steps forward and speaks.
''You will shed no blood, no more!''
He hits Ívarr hard with axe. Ívarr is decapitated. Slowly Ívarr's body falls to the ground.
05:00-05:06
When the news of the slaughter arrives at the village of Tørkæ it seems like everybody is in shock. Not because the men died, but because they will slowly die of starvation.

I am out of characters!! :-)
