Description
In the fantasy world of Testaria, hunger crawls everywhere. The people are praying every day, more and more, as faith cramps up like never before. The gods have been helpful enough to give food and hope to everyone yet. But, a prophecy written by the gods on the front of ancient temples seems to predict the end of this time. "A baby, with eyes of light, will cause fire and blood, and after five moons, the end o..." (The temple is broken, we can't read the rest of the text).
A priest claims that he discovered the end of the prophetic writings. He finds the wicked child and tries to save him, neglecting the hopes of the population. In a last movement of bravery, the villagers try to get and kill the baby before the prophecy accomplish. The priest runs away into the woods.
The player is the priest who flees the horde of angry people. You run away in the woods, using the child's power to protect you. He's the only one who knows the real fate of this world.
This is an orchestral soundtrack to fit a fantasy RPG in a fairy tale-like world. It is composed of five tracks : Child Theme, Village Theme, Chased Theme, Forest Theme and Snowy Theme.
Child Theme represents the magic child, with its mystic powers and unknown capacities.
The Village Theme will be played in the first village, a charming little town, with colorful houses and parks full of flowers.
The Chased theme is played while the Priest runs away from the angry crowd. It's ominous and we can feel the fear in each note.
The forest and snowy themes both represent areas, respectively, an enchanting forest and a snowy pin wood.
The tracks were all composed in FL Studio, and were all inspired by the theme of the jam.
Message from the artist:

How does it fit the theme?
