Day 13 of the 21 Days of Video Game Music Challenge. For today, I used something I've been sitting on for a while. And by a while, I mean, like, years... I want to make this a big, orchestral fantasy intro/story piece, but I keep getting stuck - either I don't know what mood to achieve next or I can't figure out the orchestration (my orchestrating needs quite a bit of work...). But I figured maybe getting it out into the open might help me get past this rut! What do you think?

P.S. The mix is bad since I used a MIDI file from Sibelius and it wouldn't let me automate any of the tracks... Working on figuring that one out next. The finished piece will sound WAY better than this!
