Chapter One

Thus, was the task, a blast from the past, having the vindictive nature of a prudent and wicked class. They played the songs, which we have known so well. The harmony of the music told such a wonderful tale. They understood the nature of what music could do. History has shown us that some legends can somehow come true. The power of the mind can control the soul, of the very young, and even the old. Once the mind has been conquered, the actions of body will simultaneously dance, to the rhythm and beat of the Pied Piper Effect.

There was this place that came into existence from old, past, present and future that inbreeds a new and indifferent soul. Those who know the name and the location of the place were shamed and were caused to fall from grace, and were too disgusted to give the name of this place. Well known too many with exception to few, it was the Alpha and Omega the City of Blue. If one could image such eloquence and grace being a location that was unlike any other place. Many desired to be inhabitants of this place where dancing was found with such a delicate pace.

The commonality of this society decided, out of fear that many others would somehow begin to appear. Hush became the beat they began to play-still creating the same excitement as they had previously displayed. It became well known all over the world, that caused a rush by land and then by sea. The sky was no limit for those who were intrigued by element of dance and laughter, which set the souls free. Selfishness became the nature of those who thought, that they discovered this place that was inhabited by time.

The first musical notes came from the air then winds, traveling in the sky. The sun and the moon had found such a wonderful delight. Soon the stars joined in with all their might, to keep up with the rhythm of the music found throughout the night. The clouds decided to join in with the sky, pardon me please can we have the next dance. Then came thunder with lightning not far behind with the speed light from an ancient time. Next, the rain, hail, sleet and then snow, all began to dance in their own movement so equally so. All of the elements earth, wind and fire, seems to be in the same trance, all wanting to take part in this exciting dance.

When the animals began to see such delight the birds decided to take their flight, flapping their wings, dancing and singing their songs of love and despair. The mountains began to echo their parts as well. Then the water made its move down the mountain-sides, through the valleys twisting and turning, joining in duets with lakes, rivers, and streams, with the chorus of the seas, which caused the oceans to make its roar. When the lions and lioness on the prairie heard, they joined in too, which summoned many other of nature's friends. Then the elephants jumped in with much delight, adding their notes with the sweet sounds of their pipes. Each animal knew their personal roles to play, which derived from their divine utterance within their soul. All began to dance with such eloquence and grace which created this into a very enchanting place.

What these new inhabitants seem to neglect was the principals of nature guides this dance with much respect. Those that follow the lyrics of this song, continues this dance to the beat of its own. What nature gives, nature can certainly change the tempo and rhythm to movement of the beat. The indigenous people of the City of Blue never violated the sequential order of time and space.

Their dances were of rhythmic nature, and of praise, for the gifts, which nature has bestowed. Some called them mystical, while others say time traveler, who follow the laws of nature. They were guided by truth, justice and righteousness, governed by reciprocity. Each knew that whatever gifts that nature provides to us, those things must be preserved and replenished for the ones not yet born.

As the universe continues to echo and evolve, the musical splendor of the sounds begins to reverberate and compel others with the movement of the beat and their existence as well. People began to rush to this dance of time, motion and action of the ancient times. Upon others arriving at this splendid and special place, some decided to change the lyrics and the pace rearranging the music that best suited their personal taste, conquer, control and even destroy the laws of nature within this beautiful sound. In doing so they created divisions, and they began to categorize and qualify what's good and bad sounds, the kinds of music could and should be listening too, as well as, where and who owned the right to create and produce it.

Once greed entered the process, the sound of the music began to change. These sounds of nature which were once free are now being sought out to be controlled, thus, causing a negative reaction in the soul. That which nature gives to the universe holds to no ones right to reproduce a song of an indifferent beat. The dances that nature inspires in the human soul will never be conquered or ever to be sold. There will be individuals who will try to stifle and muffle the sound, thus causing a state of rebellion all around. So the people continued dancing, the dance of love, despite the plight of the Piper's flight. Unceremoniously there was a sudden reconfiguration of tempo and harmony of the beat which changed the dance of love, to one of dread.

In feeling the effect of this indifference of musical adept and dance, it initiated others to seek out a way to bring back natural rhythm and save the day. The conditions of life that used to exist have indirectly turned into the dance of the oppressed. The originators of the sounds that were once loved and revered, now have feelings of disgraced and one of fear. People began to move into divisions based on race, other wise know as the psychology of the oppressed. Thereby, creating a state of suppression, and oppression in their wholly affairs, stifling the upward mobility of those who were considered outside of the dominant pace. The sound of the beat that now exists moves them all into an unnatural twist, to a state of mind called mental illness.

Those that go against the principals of nature, becomes a lure of the pipers despiteful wishes. Music was the heartbeat of the land that provided an avenue for freedom of dance. This new form of authority that now exists is not conducive to natural conditions. They impose their will over the inhabitants of the land, thus, elevating themselves to the level of super-humans.

People began to fall into great despair; the beat of their music was...
