Here's the next section of the story:

After about an hour, Henrik and Ferdinand had ridden their bikes over the steep incline of the mountain trail, and were now faced with a choice between two pathways into the shrouded forest. “Let’s eat really quick, before we pick which way to go,” said Ferdinand. They leaned their bikes against a tree, opened up their pack and pulled out a sandwich and an apple. “This is stupid,” said Henrik. “It’s getting dark and we have no idea which way to go. What are you staring at?”

Ferdinand silently pointed at the path on the right, half of a sandwich hanging out of his mouth. Henrik turned around. Darkness had filled in the forest floor, and all of the grass blades on the pathway were glowing purple. “That one,” said Ferdinand. They finished their snack, hopped back on their bikes, and headed down the glowing trail. The further they went on their journey, the more strange things they noticed: trees with pink bark, a bird flying backwards, a rock that was chiming like a grandfather clock. As they crested a hill, they saw a very bright light in the valley below. “We’re getting close!”

They careened down toward the light at top speed. The purple glow was almost blinding as they dipped below the trees and out into a clearing. They skidded to a stop, and allowed their eyes to adjust. There, standing over a bright purple fire stood Onias and Jupiter, eyes wide with surprise. Ferdinand, speechless, reached into his backpack and pulled out the poster he and Henrik had drawn. He unrolled it, and held it up in front of the wizards. Jupiter laughed as he looked at the drawing. “Look, Onias! It’s us! And your nose looks huge!” His smile faded when he read the words. He turned to Jupiter, who was staring at him: “The mayor hasn’t returned?!” 

Supplemental notes: 

I'm only posting one of these three, because I'm still low on cloudy space. I picked this one, almost exclusively because it's in 5/4. 

My friend @chelmets tweeted a while back about Spitfire Audio's survey thingy. I don't know if you all are interested in plugin instruments or not, but if so, check this out:
https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discover/

You can get the Discover BBC Symphony Orchestra plugin for filling out a survey, and waiting two weeks. Those are terms with which I can get on board. Lovely interface, and most of these sounds were made using the plugin.

If you're like "WTF is going on here?" - this is part of a serial story with music that I'm working on. Welcome! You can catch up on the whole story in one place, here, if it so interests you:

Hope everyone's well - I'll be back in a listening and catching-up capacity soon. (Capacity is a weird word. It looks weird.)

Time Machine Chronicles Part 7: The Journey of Henrik & Ferdinand

at mass

Tidal

Second single by Philadelphia's indie-pop band Heliocentric Overdrive
Dedicated to all those explorers pushing the boundaries of human space exploration!
lyrics
Counting down
A million thoughts
now hold on
for dear life
cleared for launch
all systems go
the instruments
all come to life
final checks
ready for launch
t-minus zero
time to blast off
rocket thrust
it lifts off
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.

Out in space
traveling fast
exceed the limits
while hoping that
these very moments
forever last
so many dangers
but can’t look back

going further
than anyone
take precautions
but follow none
of the our steps
we leave the trace
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.
