Oh, excellence in my opinion.
To be honest when this started up, being the bookish person I am, and with the title this had, I instantly thought "Dumbledore's death and the surrounding events." and I chose to keep that in mind while listening to it, haha. Thankfully everything fit in really well under that mindset. Gorgeous track, really, it had a great way of building up and the latter half of the track was definitely well worth the somewhat slow introduction, which was beautiful all the same.
There are so many elements to this track. Sadness, suspense, excitement, reflection and poignant moments of pause. Lovely, I consider this a true masterpieces and it's far too good for Newgrounds - which is why I'm even more pleased that you uploaded something this brilliant here. It raises the standards of the audio portal.
Glad to hear everything's going okay now - I was concerned when I heard about what was going on in your life. I'm happy that you can still continue to work towards gracing the audio portal with more legendary tracks like this one. I'm curious to know the backstory, but I guess I'm happy with my 'Dumbledore's death' interpretation. To each their own. Like I was saying, beautifully put together and the result is awe-inspiring.
