Please enjoy and give feedback. I only had like 8 hours to work on this or I would've tried to make it longer!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
My idea of this imaginary game is one where a character finds the White Dragon hurt in the woods. The White Dragon and it's rider are the protectors of the land, and have been in a constant fight against the Black Dragon and it's rider's army of evil monsters. The player is able to nurse the White Dragon to health and search the forest with it to find it's rider. When they find him, he's gravely injured. In his last moments, he performs a ritual that makes the player the next rider of the White Dragon.
The White Dragon then bows to let the rider on. This song plays in the cutscene as the Dragon takes off, in the sadness and grief of the old riders death, and flys quickly through the forest. The White Dragon slowly rises past a small mountain and we see an island emerge, darkness spreading across it. The Title Card flashes: Chronicles of the Azure Sky: The White Dragon's Melody

Great composition! The build up here is very organic and well executed!
Nice composition sounds great and super relaxing. Great work!
I could imagine the world you create and behind story also .awesome work
Good work :D
I liked the diversity from start to finish and with the description i could imagine the cutscene that it would play to
I really liked the part in the middle when the song ramped up with the strings!
Just a heads up, your SC link is broken
Love the percussion and woodwind combo here. Loving those ninth chords, they remind me of Octopath. Great work!
Thanks for the heads up, should be working now I think!
