Part Two? I dunno...chapter titles are silly

The dreams...they were always so...bright...alive...different...

When she was awake, it was dark...except for the circles...

Everyone said she couldn't see, but she saw the world through those circles...but her dreams...they were...different...She couldn't find the right words to talk about it, so she didn't. Her parents probably wouldn't understand anyway...right? Wake time was always so dark and familiar...but sleep time...if they were open, she was sure her eyes would scream from the bright...but in a good way...it was odd...but she loved to dream...and she never forgot them. Not a one.

Like the circles, the dreams were all different kinds. Some were light, others were still dark. Almost completely dark but for tiny dots...more than she could ever count...but it was soothing in a way. Not like the running dreams...She never knew what she was running from, but she could never stop. Those were...her body was soaking by the time she would wake up...

But sometimes, about once in a blue moon, she would just dream of floating...being in water without the wetness...those were her favorite. She was floating when it happened.

"Wha-...why is everything getting so dark? It's not morning..."

"Choose."

"Choose..? Choose what?"

"Observe, and choose."

"Choose between those?
Ok...um...Papa always says bigger things are better so...besides, it's so much bigger than the other on-AHH! That sound...! That wailing...! That laughter...that sick laughter...My ears are burning...! ...Now it sounds like...someone...crying...despair...I can feel...the hatred...this...is death...No...No, I want the other ball! Take me away from this...please...please...No, not more laughter! ...Wait...this sounds like...a child...a child's laughter...of...joy...no, children...it sounds lovely...now cheering...now...life...love...Why is this...so much smaller than the other...?

"Have you chosen?"

"Yes, but-"

"Very well. Awaken, Rhia."

This piece is a pretty kick-butt example of marimbaing, with assorted accessories on the side. It starts off peacefully enough, with the first minute consisting of marimba and vibe riffs accompanied by rhythmic backgrounds. Then the bass and hi-hat really kick in and the song's main theme comes out. One thing I really love about it is the constant drive, the continuous pulse you get while listening to it. While just what the hell a caxixi is continues to elude me, I can't wait to get my hands on this (hint hint?). Sheet music shouldn't be so bloody expensive...

Oh, the only other problem? It's also a bloody duet.

P.S. Disney knew what they were doing when they made Fantasia.
