Entry 1142 - Hideous Gomphidius - Keepers of the Fungal Order


Style: Dungeon synth, dark ambient

Primary Emotions/Themes: cavernous, mysterious, like listening to music created long ago by someone who never wanted it to be found

Thoughts: It's night, I'm walking through the woods. I think I hear something faint in the distance, is that... music? I stop my walking to try and hear what is going on... yes that is music. It's faint but I can clearly make it out. Simple melodies that reverberate from... somewhere.

I listen deeper and I start to see something in the distance. Individual fireflies light up in conjunction with the melody. Each one highlighting a single note, a single moment in time. The originator of the notes are no where to be found. I'm simply transfixed by this display of light and music in front of me. Minimal. Exotic. Exquisite. 

I accidentally step on a branch and the music stops, the lights dim and I am once again alone. An eerie silence fills the forest, so loud it is deafening. I am not alone... but I do not know who I share the company of. I try to find my way out, but I realize I no longer know where I am. I have been enchanted by the forest... will I ever escape?
