Grand Library

"No, not really. I'd like to ask you donate your information in your compendium though. I know you're new, but every page counts." The woman adjusts her glasses as she speaks. She continues to write on those papers and move them around as she talks to you.

"Thank you. You can find information in the many books. Feel free to look around as long as you like." The woman seems to be comparing your compendium to a few other papers. There are a lot of books to look through. How exactly do you plan on finding the ones on Note Beasts?

Actually, they probably do have computers. Jonathan goes to the woman to ask for a computer, but she just simply directs him to the section of books on Note Beasts. That was easier than it seemed it would be with all these books. Let's see...Note Beast Breeding for Beginners...Combo Techniques...

Ah, here we go! Origin of Note Beasts! Is this the book you were looking for?

You open the book and begin reading...

Long ago when the people first set foot on the continent of Harmonis, they struggled to defend themselves against the monsters living in the forests. It was a hard battle for survival and it's hard to believe anyone survived at all. Eventually, one of the groups found a mysterious object within one of the forests. It was a Note. This person that found it was a traveling musician. He came to the continent to lift the spirits of the sad towns. When he played his song, the Note had a miraculous reaction. When he completed the song, a beautiful dragon was standing before him. This musician was named Alcen. He was the first Conductor. He discovered Note Beasts did not originate from these Notes, but rather from the heart. The feelings put into the song played bring forth a creature within you. These Note Beasts are not simply summoned creatures. They are a part of you.

...Whoa, that's pretty deep. The next chapter is on Alcen. Continue reading?

Alcen was the first Conductor. His dragon was one of many in the new species of Note Beasts. Alcen traveled the new continent, helping the growing towns by spreading the knowledge of Note Beasts. His hope was that these Note Beasts would help to change the world for the better. He dedicated himself to learning more about these Note Beasts and studied them his whole life. Alcen wrote the world's first compendium and since then it has always been tradition for Conductors to keep one. He discovered that Note Beasts could be safely stored within the instruments they were awakened with, but if there were too many in one instrument, the Note Beasts would quickly get out of hand and the Conductor would start to feel dizzy and sick. Instead, he created a way of storing Note Beasts away safely. With a symphony of Conductors, a large musical note could be created with the combined power. This note safely stores Note Beasts back within yourself so they can be switched out for another one. Alcen discovered the limits of Note Beasts you could contain within yourself is only as limited as the amount of Note Beasts you could create with your music. The possibilities were nearly endless. The continent soon grew full with Note Beasts and they were a part of everyday life. The Note Beast Kingdom was created.

Although the Note Beasts helped the towns survive and there were a few years of peace, it was not long until those with an evil heart began creating Note Beasts. These Conductors sought to use the Note Beasts they summoned for destruction. They wanted to abuse their power to control the world. They nearly succeeded in their take over, but Alcen had defeated the evil Conductors, defeating their powerful monsters. When it seemed they were finally defeated, the Conductors performed a forbidden art of Symphony Summon. This cost the lives of many powerful Conductors in a Great War until Alcen gave his life to protect the land. His sacrifice powerfully affected the other Conductors of the land as they decided that the land would need protection from both the local monsters and others that would abuse their power with Note Beasts. The first guild, Hero's Sun, was formed to protect the land of Harmonis.

Interesting...so the unexpected war of Note Beasts ended when Alcen battled the Stmphony Summoned monster, but what exactly IS Symphony Summoning? Continue reading? It looks like the next part should explain Symphony Summoning.
