My brother gave me some fun music composition software, so I decided to try it out last night. Here's what I came up with as my first composition ever. The title is "Niima's Return." (Yes, I borrowed the name 'Niima.' I used up all my creativity on musical part)
First, a little write-up to set the place and mood of the piece:
Tablets have been found at a recently-discovered grotto at the submerged Atlantis site. The chamber immediately causes one to feel awed by the mysticism of Atlantean technology, being filled with clusters of luminous blue crystals and with an elaborate carved stone gate at the center of the chamber. The discovered records have been mostly translated, and appear to describe an event that may well have led to the cataclysmic event that, according to Plato and other philosophers, sunk the island nation deep into the ocean so many millennia ago.
Atlantean engineers had apparently stumbled upon some sort of phenomenon that allowed them to see through to another world via crystals charged with some type of energy they were able to harness and channel (the properties and source of this energy is still completely unknown). Upon seeing the beautiful, otherworldly dimension through the crystals, Atlantean engineers became obsessed with discovering a way to actually travel there. Incidentally, this caused them to lose focus on their war efforts, and is partially blamed for the Atlanteans' defeat at Athens just before the island sank into the sea.
There were several accidents involved with the research - many proving fatal to participants and destructive to the area around them. Still, the research and experiments continued, and at last the Atlanteans were rewarded - they had managed to bring a single otherworldly flower - along with some of the soil it was rooted in - through to their own world. This flower was given to Niima, a young Atlantean princess, who planted it at the center of her favorite garden and cared for it like a mother does for her child.
Encouraged by their success, a gate was constructed, encrusted with the energy-charged crystals (greater details are not found in the records available). This was done in a cavern deep underground, in the case of another potentially destructive accident. Particularly excited was Niima, who wished to travel through the gate to gather more flowers for her garden. The last record describes the excitement surrounding the scheduled activation and use of the crystal gateway for the next day, but nothing more.
