In spite of everything, I rose. Slowly, but as her words echoed through my mind, I felt a fire burning within. The surrounding darkness faded to ash, save for that which remained in my hand, blazing. I looked to my other hand, and it burned as well, but with light, and the figure smiled. As my gaze met hers, everything was clear. All that I am, all that I've done...everything. I am all that I am, past and present, but it does not define me. "The darkness will never leave you," she told me as she turned to face the distance, but she looked back. "It's called experience." Like an angel, she flew, and so did I.

All That I Am

I awoke, and I saw.

The field continued to wave in ethereal wind, grass kneeling, leaves stirring gently around her presence which coursed throughout the plains in colors ever changing. I turned to look behind me, and I saw others, great in number, murmuring amongst themselves. I turned to the familiar and listened as she spoke, still and soft, beyond her illustrious form, but I was without focus, and heard the voices of many.

As she whispered, within the sea of voices was woven a tapestry grandiose, impossibly intricate, and terrifying, and I contemplated in disquiet for a long time. The crowd calmed to silence, and turned to face me, though they had heard nothing. I cried out to them, for the weight of the message became too great to bear, but many scoffed in disbelief, and some walked into the distance, from which bled a dark water, killing all who partook of it, or chose to wade in its filth. I turned to the familiar, and she nodded slowly, and knowingly. I burned with divine fire, and I shouted to them, my voice joining the chorus of nations, but darkness crept forward, inevitable and vile, and began to overtake them, many crushed beneath forces they could not understand. I wept greatly, for those fallen, and for my own imperfection, but in perfect light, I was consoled, that I may one day rest. Once more, the words of many poured from me, though my lamentation never ceased, and through tears I accepted that which was to happen. All was calm, but I knew too well. The heavens opened as the blood moon hung in the sky, and all I could do was watch. Time is short.

Radiarc - Irrelevance Fading

In these brief moments, I look back, to all that has been, to all I have been. All I've done in ignorance, all that has fallen to ruin before me, all I've sought but never found, and in my desperation to love and be loved, the lies I've believed. I see nothing was as I thought, and the world I live in resembles nothing of memory; a sterile pit of troubled husks is all that will remain, a false peace built atop a people misled, divided, betrayed, and slaughtered by avarice, though none care to acknowledge, and I am left alone to watch everything drift away. 

In these brief moments, I've since returned to the fields ever waving in search of the path forward. In the disquiet of night, I see a world bathed in sin, and I am no different. Loathesome, wretched, vile, detestable. I hear nothing else, for I've felt nothing else, nor am I deserving. In the fields I lay, pierced, lacerated, every familiar tie to my form severed, the weight of my sin rending my sanity as sawblades pressed into my mind, ringing through every perceivable frequency, the taste of blood inescapable; that I've felt even a fraction of hell, I cry out for forgiveness and cling to life, though I witness reality breaking apart everywhere I look, everywhere I think. Imperfection is woven into every fiber of my being, and feeling with every step how thoroughly I've been torn to rid myself of it, I breathe deeply and walk the path of repentance.

In these brief moments, I see what lies ahead, but so much as I am able, I will be there for those around me, and for those that hear my words, know that you are loved. For as long as I am here, I will speak, and it's my hope and prayer that what I've said over the years has resonated to any degree.

In These Brief Moments

The final boss theme that Smash 4 has in place is awesome, but I got hype enough to think that I might be capable of making something close to its level. 
So I tried!
Whether or not I succeeded is up to you guys.

Radiarc - Master Core

You can't understand how this feels.
Knowing that, any second, without any warning, your DAW is going to reset.

But that's not why I quit this project; I quit because it's a good idea executed in a subpar manner, but I'm too lazy to work at fixing every minute detail.
Hope you guys like it, though!

The Bad Time

If only it were that simple.

I don't think you understand.
And even if you did, why wait until nearly everyone is dead?
Maybe you need to be reminded...the gravity of this situation is something quite otherworldly.

Gravity

https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/album/penumbra-album

https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/track/ex-machina

No deity could be so twisted, so broken...
Yet, from the machine, she emerged as an entity beyond comprehension, a dark phantasm whose presence weighed down on all surrounding her.
She could barely walk, and her only words were spoken through intense pain and struggling...
"This is what you wanted."

Ex Machina

From the night itself emerged a force unlike any other, shifting shape and form as it flew swiftly through the woods and the fields, leaving nothing but ruin in its wake.
Were there only a way to find reason within this nebula of darkness.

Ex Nocte

It only gets easier.

Temptation

I Know

She stepped forward, face stricken with guilt and frustration.
"I can't let them know..." she began, wiping her forehead and covering her eyes.
She paused briefly, before shuddering slightly as she begrudgingly uttered, "You won't let them know."
The darkness moved around her in ways incomprehensible as she sank backward into it, head hanging low in shame.
How unfortunate that, despite everything, she would default to something cowardly.

Forgive Me, Child (Heartache Remix)

The eye of Providence lingers, its distorted gaze filled with spite.

Maelstrom (Precipitation Remix)

Once

Throughout time and our thoughts, we wander endlessly, despite any confidence or peace found in the comfort of what we know.
Beyond is a mist, a dark cloud of ambiguity wherein both a beautiful light and terrible darkness reside; we walk ceaselessly, embracing the new, regardless of want.
Those who choose to remain still find themselves in a solace unlike any other, perhaps better than we could ever know, but from their greed sought within singularity, abandoned by the grace of another day, though respect is always due.
A gift of understanding, of wisdom clearing the temporal cloud, many desire, but none have found, but rest assured the necessity remains just as hidden.
Through the dark and light alike, we go on, our way never known, but found as we walk; the promise of what lies ahead is more than enough to give meaning to our wandering.

I decided to have some fun with it.
Create something curious, yet laid-back.

Relics of a time before a grand eclipse, a derelict metropolis teeming with a living void writhing in every shadow.

Infinite as the night sky, may her grace be just so, falling upon all of us.

After all these years, we're still here...but what awaits us?

The culmination of centuries, the mistake of one broken girl.

The Fulcrum

Hours, days...I wasn't aware anymore. I was at the mercy of the world surrounding, terrifying in its beauty, waving and flowing with colors one could only dream of. Tessellations and fractals surged through the flowers and grass, and I, too, emanated an aura infinitely intricate, yet idiosyncratic; no other soul was to be seen, yet I felt as though I was not alone. It was then that I gazed into the distance and I saw a faint figure wading through the flowers, but for as long as I stared, I could not understand. I began to approach, but she appeared before me in an instant, her long hair flowing as though submerged in the atmosphere itself.
"Remember me?" she asked in a familiar voice, freezing me completely in place. I couldn't speak.
"Come on," she continued, "Remember me. I know you do."
I staggered back briefly and inhaled slowly and deeply, regaining composure. I'd...seen her before, but her face was obscured in a way I couldn't understand. She stood still for a minute before she sighed and put her hands in her pockets, then turned around, looking into the horizon, growing darker with every word she spoke.
"It isn't me, and it's not you, either," she said in a mournful tone, walking into the night ahead. "I just can't believe you never saw."
The world was still, but I was shaken. Yet I knew the only way forward was to give chase, so after a moment's pause, I did, and the sky split in two as the fields opened into a grand valley, dividing as the figure walked away. She turned and I stopped, inciting an uncomfortably familiar smile, though her eyes remained a mystery.
I could sense the impending denouement, but I knew it was too soon, and I believe she did, too, but the overwhelming uncertainty I felt compelled me. I leapt forward and swung first, and she swiftly responded. The rest was a blur. All I can remember now are thoughts and emotions, and the beginning of a sense of clarity. Perhaps I did remember, but not completely. I was sad, nostalgic...I recall the scent of ashes scattered in the wind and a pain gradually welling in my heart. I liked her hair, though.

Remember me

I looked at her one last time with pain welling up in my eyes, though I had no regret in my heart. I thought it to be more for her benefit than mine, so without a word, I turned and began to walk. She and I both understood where I was headed, and I knew she wouldn't dare respond for fear of appearing weak, heaven forbid anywhere near as "fragile" as I.

Beyond the weathered remains we called home, there began a path that stretched for many miles, weaving through vast plains  full of wildlife and overabundant in perpetually blooming flora, eventually arriving at a massive clearing. It appeared benign, but I felt differently. All of nature, even so far as the sky above, waved softy in uncertainty, in infinity; it was as if I was peering through time itself, bearing witness to a place surpassing comprehension. A sacred place, perhaps, unfathomably far from any mark of civilization...we'd travelled before, but even she, in her seemingly infinite strength, would not go further. She simply looked into the horizon with emptiness in her eyes. Silence permeated the air; the wind stirred softly. 

From then, she, as I would later, turned and began to walk. She, like I, said no more from then on. I believe that we'd both arrived at a similar understanding. The void within me longed to find purpose, and led me to that same path. "I'll go," I thought. I'm the only one that ever could.

I'll Go

I do cinematic/orchestral/soundtrack stuff, but most of it can be found at https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/ 
It's more of a hobby right now, but if you'd like to support me so that I can make something more of it, I'd be incredibly grateful.
