Mystic Swamp (Worlds)

 

Mystic Swamp

     The world I wish to be forever engraved into peoples hearts is Mystic Swamp. I saw Mystic swamp in a dream several years ago. The dream was vivid and had a nostalgic feeling. It had a profound effect on my life. I wish Mystic Swamp to have this same effect on others.

     Mystic Swamp is a dream like area located below Mystic Lake. Mystic Swamp isn’t opened up until the deforestation of Mystic Lake. Only Frizz, Coxwell, and Koralf visit it. The journey into Mystic Swamp marks a major event within WOI’s plot. The journey changes Frizz and Coxwell in serious ways. Frizz begins to realize the evils he has committed and begins his transformation to becoming virtuous. Coxwell, however, embraces his flaws and wants to live a flawed life. The contrasting divide between Coxwell and Frizz begins at Mystic Swamp.

     Mystic Swamp can be defined by one feature, its emptiness. Mystic Swamp is a very dark swamp completely covered in water with no land. Cyprus trees are everywhere with their leaves shrouding the starry sky. For much of the journey it is dark. But, there are key moments where light shines. The light is faint and far appearing as a mirage. These light sources are light bug nest. In the center of Mystic Swamp there is a large open space where the trees are spread thin. The are has shimmering stones laying across the floor of the water. There Frizz, Coxwell, and Koralf return to Mystic Lake.

     The piece of music accompanying mystic swamp is the first composition I have ever made. It has gone through some changes and I plan on creating a 2.0 version with more instruments. The piece represents Mystic swamp with long pauses between sections. The pauses represent the emptiness of Mystic Swamp and time of reflection. The main chords represent the few bits of light seen around Mystic Swamp. Finally. the swift notes represent the moving of the boat that Frizz rides.

Mystic Swamp is special in my eyes. It is the most ethereal of worlds. I need to know if this world could use improvements. It’s a world of reflection for the protagonist and antagonist and I need to know if there’s ways to improve. Please critique to the best of your ability. There are images posted of the Minecraft map that I have created for it below as well the score. If there is enough interest I will post a download for the world. Thank you and please share this with friends and family.
