In any case, thanks again for the review!
Artist of Inspiration
I, personally, LOVE vocals. Especially as in church settings sort of like this, and dramatic scenes. This was orchestrated majestically, the bells, the organ, the symbols. Amazing. There's just ONE tiny thing that just annoys the hell out of me with this! Lady Arsenic, God bless her, she's good, but I could barely hear her! If the music was toned different and she was just a little bit louder, the "Oomph" would be so much more!
Maestro, you work wonders. You're talent is amazing. You're almost at the tops to mastering this. Keep it going. Extraordinary work.

MaestroRage responds:
I felt at first that way too, however the more I heard the song the more I could "hear" her voice, as I was accustomed to it, and as time went on it became more and more difficult to make sure her voice was audible. It wasn't so hard for the first part, her voice rings clean and true there, but when the action picks up, it was incredibly hard to try and make the instruments convey their strength along with hers.
I fear in it's wake her voice became slightly dulled. That organ was also a great source of grief X'(!
I see what you mean though, during the energetic part, her voice is muffled, I should have spent a bit more time making sure it rang true there as well.
Thank you for the review Stealth, i'm glad you enjoyed it ^^.
Beautiful...
Amazing, simply amazaing. I was spell-bound after the first note was sung. Way to go Lady Arsenic, you rock! I still think it's amazing that it's your voice and you're only fifteen! My mother, who's a voice teacher, would find that to be amazing. Do you take voice lessons or opera lessons? Anyways, I'm not forgetting you Maestro. Your music, as always, was inspiring and immediatly after seeing the title and hearing Lady Arsenic's voice a story instantly formed into my mind. Here it is. A young warrior has returned home after and grueling and blood-filled war. He goes to a cathedral that was once large and grand throughout his village. Now, it is layed to utter ruin due to the vast destruction that had sweep across the land. The young warrior slowly walks through the war-torn doors and down the center aisle, dragging his blood-stained sword all the way, until he finally reaches the alter. He drops to his knee, saddened, defeated, and war-weary. "So much lost...and yet so little gained. What in all the world have a gained through all this?" he mutters to himself. Suddenly, a ray of holy light appears, and falls in front of the young man. And as the light intensifies a beautiful flower appears in it's place. The light disappers and the man, astonished by this, picks the flower and smells it. He is filled with something that has almost becomce forgotten to him. He looks at where the flower once stood and sees a word inscribed in it's place. 'HOPE' The young warrior looks out through a large hole where the left cathedral wall was and sees the rising sun. He has gained two things that were gained AFTER the war, not during it. He has gained the hope for a better future, where the drums of war are not beating. He has also gained some small measure of peace...that we all seek...and few of us ever find. By the way, I turned 17 today! I've seen many things through my lifetime, regardless of how short it is. I'm sure you've seen much more than I. Anyways, make sure that Lady Arsenic sees this story too since her voice is represented by the flower as the voice of hope. Keep up the good work and God Bless...
MaestroRage responds:
ah! Yesterday was your birthday! Forgive me for congratulating it a day late X(!
In any case to answer your question LadyArsenic takes vocal classes at school and is heavily involved with singing, she even gave me some tips on how to sing myself, but my voice, just won't bend to my mind's whim. I guess I will have to practice some more!
Concerning the story. To find hope within the battered walls of the cathedral, to find a source of joy in the face of utter ruin. A time old classic, but one that runs very true. War will tend to break many parts of somebodies will, but there is always the hope, the drive to never see such events grace ones home again afterwards that keeps them going during the fight.
Many are blinded forever, some simply want to fight until they die, so twisted and broken are these men at times.
In any case, thank you for the review Zen! I will be sure to let LadyArsenic know of this story I am sure she will appreciate it as much as myself! Thank you for the story and review, i'm glad you liked it, and happy belated birthday! Keep up the good fight, you're almost halfway to half your life XD.
Maestro: Builder of Worlds
Excellent work once again Maestro! You please me! Anyway here is the review.
The actual substance: FLAWLESSLY song by Lady Arsenic again. My regards to her. To you Maestro, wonderful building of the song. I really like those sticato strings, they are one of the most wonderful parts of the song to me, just a wonderful suspenseful touch. The organ work is also wonderful, it reminds me of some psychaotic count playing a castle. Also reminds me of the brilliant backround piano work near the end of "These games we play". Once again the vocals really do set the scenery for the song, giving you a nice suspensful feel, but then when the insturmentation kicks in it almost sounds evil..i dont know, hard to explain. As for the chime debate, I like them, gives a nice castle-medieval feel.
Story time:(After the Dead's Witness story, they are away from that place..Maybe we will get to how some day = P).As the story starts,our heros are in a mystical place, gazing upwards upon a giant cathedral. Within the middle tower, near the top is a tainted stain glassed window. As the door creaks shut behind them they notice an abnormal cold rush over them without a breeze, but just an essence. They look around the room, noticing it has a haunting red coloring to it, almost victorian in structure. Then they look around the main room, seeing three giant suits of armor, two in the back left and right corners, and one centered. They are now walking down the great hall, on either side of them is a row of columns, and in between each of these is a strange suit of armor...not your average suits, for skeletons still lie within the standing statues. They near a celler door now, and open it to find a heap of bones. Disgusted they close the door, and go up the main toweres stairs. They are now at the top and are looking strait into a grand door. They open it, and a blast of psychaotic organ playing hits them. They enter the room and notice a count madly playing on a grand organ. They countinue to walk towards him thinking they are unnoticed, but when they get close, he spins around and screams at them "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" now are heros,startled, ask what on earth this mad man is talking about. He once again screams this but as he finishes his sentenced he grabs the belt of the main hero. "THE SWORD!" he says. And with this the hero takes out the sword of the three. Now, drawing backwards the count starts mumbling to himself "no...no....No...NO...NO!" louder each time. "THAT WAS RIDDED OF THIS LAND MANY YEARS AGO!" With the the count runs for the tainted stain glass window and leaps through it, shattering the glass. Our heros look out the window now and down at the crippled count, who already seemed to be turning into bone. The floor seems to rumble underneath them. Now, confused, our heros look at what remained of the stain glass window..a metal piece in the middle..and it read:
"The man, the beast, the evil.
They are one in the same.
Wisdom, power, Hatred.
Fear but one of them.
For if your fear each of them.
You shall not get far."
Now, our heros, see a middle piece in the metal, allowing someone to open it. They do so, and in it lies a black crytal ring,and like dropping blood a red stream ran through the middle. They pocket this ring, and feeling now stranger then ever, they descend back down the steps, to doubtfully see how the count was, and to see what the rumble was. As they get to the bottom they noticed the cellar that they closed, was now open, and all the suits of armors are now missing. They open the door to the main room, ready for battle, and see the shadows of hundreds of skeleton knights facing them. Over these nights is a greater shadow, one that even light won't penatrate, nor the swords of our heros...
(The monster from "The Metal Visage" has finally been once again found?)
Great work,( 5/5) I think this is your biggest leap in musical understanding since "The Metal Visage" (you've been constantly improving, but this is a jump).
MaestroRage responds:
Heh, I had never imagined that the monster from The Metal Visage could have been trapped in the celler of a cathedral, though in a way it makes perfect sense! I also didn't envision him to be a necromancer of sorts, if he's controlling those knights through his mental strength, that is some awesome power, and that was in fact how I envisioned him.
A blade and now a ring. The poem telling them to fear all would be their end arises again... I wonder what these items do, and if there is more, do they do something when brought together.
I don't know if the heroes would be able to escape these knights, unless one of these items does something drastic.
hmm... truly an interesting twist, well written Oracle, as always the tale was a good one. Thank you for that and the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.
