Out in the Open

...All blades fired in this forge would break soon after forging, but the shards would never rust, nor dull, nor break...

In ancient times, There was a Dwarven blacksmith.  The iron in his region was rather poor and despite the skill he lavished upon his blades, they would always break.  One day a mysterious stranger, robed in black, approached him at his forge and offered to enchant the blacksmith's forge that blades made in it's fire would never perish.  The blacksmith was suspicious, and asked what the stranger wanted in return.  "The deed itself is my payment," said the stranger.  The smith opened his mouth to reject the offer, when his gaze fell upon one of his broken swords.  Hesitantly the dwarf agreed.  

The stranger pointed at the dwarf's forge and began an incantation.  Clouds gathered and snow began to fly in the valley, despite the summer.  The ground shook and spikes of obsidian shot up around the forge.  The fire, which had been a warm red, became an arcane violet.  "It is done," said the stranger to the horrified dwarf.  The smith cautiously took up his tools as the stranger watched, and forged a blade.  When the sword was completed, the dwarf tested the blade against the obsidian.  As he struck the rock, the blade sheared in two.  Outraged, the dwarf confronted the mysterious black robed man.  "Strike the anvil with this broken blade," said the man, and the dwarf, full of suspicion, complied.  The sheared blade clove the anvil in two and the blade took no hurt.  

All blades fired in this forge would break soon after forging, but the shards would never rust, nor dull, nor break.  Much mischief was done with those blades.  The forge came to be known as The Splinter-Forge.  From then on, the snow never departed that region and the violet fire never cooled.

This was a fun evening of flying!   Lake Hiddenwood State Park is the site of a dam failure which was never rebuilt!  Nature is taking over again, and it's beautiful!  As an engineer, I'd been wanting to go to this place for years, but never managed to do so until this year.  While flying, I suddenly heard loud, heavy hoof thumps and a snort (BUCK!  AAAAAAAAA!).  I pulled the drone back and he left before I could see him (sad).  One of the cooler experiences I've had while flying!

The Lake That Never Returned

...An unforgettable encounter...

Once, there was a boy who went exploring in the woods.  He explored all day and was getting thirsty, so he was delighted when he heard the sound of a moving stream!  When he pushed aside the branches on the bank, he was met with, wonder and majesty!  A great, green dragon getting a drink from the stream!  The dragon sized him up for a moment, looking the boy up and down.  When the dragon had satisfied his curiosity, he did something unexpected!  Arching his neck over the water, he touched the amazed boy (who was far less frightened than he aught to have been), on the forehead.  Then he flew away!  The Boy returned home, forever changed, doubting anyone would believe his tale!

A Chance Meeting

...His body, like glowing coals...

The Smoldering Saint was an unnamed martyr who was burned at the stake for his faith during widespread persecution of the faithful.  He remained alive, praising God through the whole process, even while his body was smoldering.  When the flames died down, he, with his body like glowing coals, pointed to his killers and said "you have done a wicked thing!  Yet even now, repent and The Divine will hear you and welcome you to his breast!"  Then he prayed for his killers and collapsed to ash.  Relics of this event reside in a great cathedral and his Reliquary is tended by monks of the adjoined monastery.

Marching Orders

Our enemy is yonder!  Though they come in great numbers, their blood runs yellow!  Oh, and I can see their trousers run yellow too!  Brothers, their hearts fail them at the thought of bloodshed, so let us give them battle!  Tonight!  We return to our wives as heroes of the Kingdom!

Battle music is always tricky, because the tempo is usually high and when the tempo is high, it's difficult to maintain a decent runtime.  I'm satisfied with how this turned out, in any case.

INSTRUMENTATION: Brass, Strings
MOOD: Warlike, Battle

The Charge

One of the last major peaks in the north of the Black Hills is Crow Peak.  The summit looms about 1,500 ft above the city of Spearfish and is visible from anywhere in town.  A trail runs from the base to the top through pine forests and granite rockslides!

I had been wanting to fly here for ages!  My parents have a lovely view of this mountain from their window and I was eager to capture it on film (film?  It's not really film...whatever, anyway).  One of the challenges in flying in a mountain valley is waiting for gps signal.  Another challenge is maintaining line of sight

This one didn't come naturally at first.  It started getting weird after the first big swell, so I abandoned it and tried starting over.  But I found myself whistling the original and so I decided just work on it until it was right.

LOCATION: Crow Peak, near Spearfish, SD

The Sentinel of Stone and Pine

Get up, brother!  The war rages around us!  There is glory and honor yet to be won!

This one went surprisingly quick!  Even the AI played nicely on this one.  The only trouble was getting the brass punchy enough, but I think it got there in the end.

INSTRUMENTATION: Brass, strings, percussion
MOOD: Tense, Chaotic

'Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord ’s, and He will give you into our hands.”'
