The first raindrops were just starting to fall when Vinyl reached the tree. It had just enough leaves to keep the rain from hitting her. She eased her bags off of her back and set them gently next to the trunk before sitting down and leaning against it.
The tree stood in a small park, which itself sat on top of a small outcrop on the north side of Canterlot. Even though it was only a ten minute trot from the dorms, it felt miles away. Looking out over the plains to the north of the mountain, she could almost forget about the city that lay behind her.
She turned off her headphones, pulled them down around her neck, took a deep breath of the damp air, and began to listen to the rain.
There's really only a taste so far, and question marks all over Chapter 1#: (nature), but I like this. Nice work.
And Octavarium is a stellar album, one of their best, in my opinion. I'm very interested to see how you handle the themes of each song throughout this story (assuming that's your plan).
Sweet, at least, though it's not yet clear how it fits into the whole. (Hey, when you're extrapolating from one sound effect you do what you can.)
6566796 That's the idea, yes. Hopefully the album won't be too much of a spoiler as a result.
I can't wait for the next chapter!!!!
What do you call this chapter? One pound? One sharp? O.o
