The fifteen berries glowed and the tears shot out of them into the flower. It closed up into a bud and swelled in size. When it rebloomed, a bright light emerged and took the shape of the two pieces of the Skribal Sword. Then another flash of light...
Cleo suddenly found herself back inside the throne room, but she didn't seem to be entirely back. She could see she was still in the Silent Realm.
At the end of the trial, you get some kind of prize that will help you in your quest. Also, in the game, you appear in the Silent Realm in the exact same spot where you entered from your own realm. But here, Cleo entered it from in the throne room and ended up in the center of the castle town. I have no explanation as to why I bent that little rule. But I'd say that Oni had something to do with it.
"I will be honest with you. I did not think that the one who would one day wield the Skribal Sword would be the same little girl I saw just a month ago. But I knew you were special when I watched you destroy the Majora's Mask. And now our paths have crossed again, this time with a greater purpose."
Oni was referring to the time back at the final battle in MTG. The way he claimed that he noticed her back then before he admits her as his equal when she pulled out the Skribal Sword shows a hidden connection between them. And, I'll bet you anything, he even knows who Cleo really is long before she herself could discover it.
"Yeah, well that path that has now obviously been given to me was all fine and dandy at first... Except there's one problem. I was also manipulated by that melanic freak of nature. And I can't even kill him with this sword. I mean, look at it."
"Yes, about Aku. He does pose a terrible threat, and I doubt he will stop there. After the Twilight Realm, more than likely, he will reach Hyrule and try to claim it next."
"He just doesn't know when to stop!" Cleo growled.
"There is still a way you can stop him, Cleo. The Skribal Sword, if you please." Cleo held the broken sword out and it floated over to him. "Not only shall I reforge the blade for you... its powers will be given one more expansion." The two pieces placed themselves together and Oni summoned a hammer. He slammed it down on the broken blade repeatedly until it was whole again. "Now for the final touch." He pulled out his own sword. "My sword has the blessings of the gods." In a flash, it turned into a rune. "With this, the Skribal Sword will have the same blessing. Do not equip it until you are ready to face Aku." He took Cleo's hand and gave her the Rune of Oni.
Oni, Fierce Deity: Hylian. Oni made his one and only appearance in MM (still don't know if he'll appear in Hyrule Warriors (WiiU 2014), there may be hidden characters). There is some kind of rivalry between him and Majora, a kind of history not officially revealed (by the video game's story, not by the manga of MM). I created for myself that hidden history for the fanfic series and each side's is revealed in MTG and BT. There were a couple of early ideas with Oni, including him giving Cleo the Fierce Deity's Mask. But that would be breaking the rune only item system in the story. In the end, I had him give her another rune.
In many barless cells, there were Twilis, Geozolas, Mortrams, and many others imprisoned. Finn and Midna were sharing a cell together.
You're no doubt thinking, why are they barless?
"Cleo! Oh my God!" He shot up off the seat and ran to her. "You're here! I can't believe you're ba-" ZAP! Finn was thrown back by the invisible force field imprisoning them. "...I forgot that wall's there..."
That's why! Lol!
"Sis... ...I was about to say where Scervo is. He asked me to tell you he's going to bring the essences to a place called the Altar of Dawn and he'll be waiting for you there."
"The Altar of Dawn?"
"Yes, that's the place where all eight must be gathered in order to use their powers at their highest peak," Midna explained. "That's what the ancient scroll said. Scervo must be expecting you to come with the Moon Pearl and complete the gathering."
"But Okam-I mean Aku has the pearl and now knows Scervo has the rest," Cleo explained.
And this solves the other half of the how-Okam-gets-all-essences-problem.
"We can't keep these people waiting Finn," Midna urged. Finn finally pulled away and went to rescue the captives. The Twilight Princess hung back.
Midna hanging back was a easily missed hint that she's temporarily taking Cleo's place.
As she started to cross the bridge, Cleo heard a voice, so much like Midna's, shout out "This is as far as you go, Cleo!" Then black particles appeared and bunched together into the solid form of Veran.
"Aw man! I knew I'd run into you, again!"
Because Veran simply left after the battle in the volcano, there would of course be a rematch, and become the final obstacle between Cleo and Aku. I've been watching YT videos of the OoA final battle to learn how she fights.
"Get out of the way, Maleficent!"
When I wrote this part, the new Disney movie Maleficent (2014) was on it's way to it's release in theaters. My mom and I thought it was a great movie. We enjoy every live action adaptations, especially ones most people bash for no good reason other than 'just because').
...Cleo fell. Toppled by the impact, a stinger dug into her shoulder... She cried out in pain. Veran cackled as she grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. "Your luck has run out! Now you will finally pay for your interference!"
Cleo lifted her head and looked Veran in the eye and, to the sorceress's slight confusion, gave a mischievous grin, one that was all too familiar. "You're right... I did interfere... by giving Cleo an opening," said a voice like Veran's coming from Cleo's lips. In an instant, Cleo's image was gone, to be replaced by the mini-formed Midna.
Veran knew what was about to happen the moment she saw her twin... and it was too late. She dropped her and fell... with the real Cleo standing behind her.
This was a perfect payback for Veran after she posed as Cleo to frame her.
The very first room had eight doors for her to choose. When she picked one and entered, it locked behind her. Then she had to go through a trial using the required runes and when she had gone up a floor, she was once again facing many doors, only one of the next eight was sealed. It was a rinse and repeat task, each door she chose led her to rooms that were a lot like the previous dungeons, with their puzzles harder than ever and a plethora of every insect enemy she fought.
This was an idea taken from a few Mario games where Bowser's Keep had multiple doors to choose from (like in Mario RPG for example) before meeting the final boss. And again, I had the final dungeon be multi-themed like in many Zelda games. The fanfic used to describe boss rematches throughout the dungeon (also like some Zelda games), but I just removed that because the battle scheme Aku will have is sorta boss rematches anyway (plus there are eight doors, including one that leads to rooms similar to the Temple of Hira, so who's the boss there?!).
"Scervo!" she laughed. She ran to him. "I'm so glad to see y-" her words were stopped short when she saw Scervo closer and realized with a feeling like cold lead in all her organs that all was not well.
He was twitching forebodingly, his voice only static and sound spasms. And there was a black pike with chevron-shaped prongs sticking out of his chest. He was looking right back at her and she was sure he was trying to speak to her. The pike pulled back into his chest and he tumbled to the floor with a loud metallic clatter, revealing the perpetrator standing right behind him.
The moment I thought of Scervo's tragic backstory, involving his deceased fiancee, I knew then I had to kill him off eventually (not just yet in this scene, but I know you'll get the gist). It's inevitable and is a blessed relief for him as he would finally be with Sparklette.
"All I have to do is place them on those spires and harness their power. Their magic will make me stronger, strong enough to finally take over the Twilight Realm..."
"But you are already powerful Aku! Why can you not take it over the same way you took over my homeland and so many other worlds?"
"Because, samurai, this realm is much different than the ones you and I are use to. Even though the strange effects of this world could not turn me into a lost spirit, it has indeed weakened me greatly. This realm was designed to be a prison for powerful beings of evil, a perfect and safe place for banishment. I'm not as strong as I once was."
I knew I had to come up with a reason as to why Aku couldn't take over the Twilight Realm just like that. This is in case Zelda fans forgot what the Mirror of Twilight and the realm itself was officially used for.
"You haven't learned a thing, Aku! When people do evil deeds, good will do everything it can to bite them in the butt! Especially if good gains aid from a Fierce Deity!"
Okay, let's turn back the pages, shall we? "Cleo, When people do good deeds, evil will do everything it can to bite them in the butt. It's the way things are." They looked at Okam. "I have seen something like that in the pa-" "Thank you, Okam!" Now Cleo throws that back at Okam/Aku the other way around, with an extra badass line added.
"It is a shame. You could have been great as my henchman. You were so dependable, so useful... I really am thankful to you for what you did. Too bad you're too much of a do-gooder to know any better."
My mom asked me why he would say that about Cleo being a henchman and I had to remind her of the time Okam tried to persuade her to work for him. Also, I had difficulty as to what word like 'henchman' I could use. There were different variants like 'minion' and I was trying to figure out which is the best one to use.
Shapeshifting Master of Darkness:
Aku
The whole second half of the fight is just like the Death Eye battle in BT, with the various forms. You would probably call this an unimaginative repeat, but unfortunately, there's really no avoiding that. Aku almost always fights this way and I have to follow the traditions of SJ battles as well as Zelda battles. Also in case you're wondering, I cannot say for sure if Aku has any possible connection to the Death Eye.
Aku sprouted bat wings and took flight. Hovering above, he summoned a fireball and threw it at Cleo. She swung her sword to bounce it back, and the opponents ended up volleying it back and forth until she could get a hit. Stunned again, he fell to the ground, leaving her an opening for an attack.
And I also threw the usual plasma volley strategy into the SJ/Zelda battle mix. Jack actually did that once against an evil demon possessing a Japanese manor, with one of his bare hands.
Far from the altar, Finn and Midna were watching from a cliff. "Oh my *BEEP* God! I had no idea she was that strong! She's kicking his *BEEP* ass! Pardon my language, Midna."
... ...I'd rather not talk about that.
Cleo glared at Aku. "You don't like getting beaten, especially by a kid! You're not playing with a full deck!"
"On the contrary, I think it is you who needs to recheck your hand," Aku replied.
"I just creamed you, Aku! Your time here is over!"
"Well, it's not over until the fat lady sings!"
"You're at the end of your rope!"
"You may have won this battle, but not the war. In fact, the tables have turned! I still have the essences..."
"You'd better fork 'em over now!"
"Please, enough!" Jack butted in. "All these strange metaphors are making me dizzy!"
This is like the silly argument between Metro Man and Megamind (2010).
"I know you're scared... I am too. But we can't lose faith yet. Cleo still has a chance... ...even though this realm... may not..." Midna was looking very ill and weak. The princess collapsed, her body's complexion slowly turning negative and Finn knew why. The loss of the Essences of Light might mean the end of the Twilight Realm. She and all her people were getting weaker and weaker while Aku was getting stronger.
This goes to show you how truly insane Aku is. Midna was in this kind of situation before in TP when Zant blew her to within an inch of her life with pure light.
"No NO!" Finn knelt and tried to lift her up. "Somebody, please! Please God, Oni, Ra, anybody, I DON'T CARE WHO! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!" As he held on to Midna, the back of Finn's hand was beginning to glow.
That was the Triforce of Wisdom at work in case you couldn't tell. Perhaps one of the gods (maybe all the gods he randomly called out to) had answered his prayers.
She got up and saw Aku's eyes light up and she lifted her sword in front of her just in time to block the lasers. But the force of the blast pushed her back further until she was at the very edge of the roof. Mere inches from falling off, Cleo planted her feet firmly on the ground while the lasers continued to burn the Skribal Sword, overheating it. The sword vibrated violently and then what happened next was truly disastrous.
Cleo's mind was tumbling as wildly as her body after a small explosion erupted right in front of her. All she could think of was that she was falling and she needed to grab the edge, there was literally no room in her head for anything else. This fast-acting instinct saved her, but it didn't save the one thing that made the difference between victory and defeat. The explosion caused a rune to pop off the sword and, as she clung onto the edge, she caught a glimpse of the very thing she needed to win this fight, as the Rune of Oni dropped past her and down into the endless sky.
For those who are asking "why didn't she use her shield?!" Well, Oni's sword is so big that she had to use two hands to hold it and therefore cannot use her shield. I'm just trying to make this as edgy as possible by having Aku cripple her.
"I FIGURED THAT NEW POWER CAME FROM A RUNE, AND NOW THAT IT IS GONE, YOU ARE POWERLESS!" Cleo stood there, feeling numb. He was about to strike her when Jack suddenly zipped up to his face. "THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU GET IN MY WAY!" Aku zapped him and the lost spirit fell to the ground.
"NOOO!" Cleo shrieked. She flew to her partner and picked him up. He was flickering. "Jack..." Cleo's voice was breaking. "Jack I'm... I'm sorry..."
"...I... I know... It is... alright... you did your best..." But that, to Cleo, wasn't enough. Jack had traveled so far, fought so hard to go back in time, save his homeland, and destroy Aku so the demon would not exist here today. When he didn't succeed, Cleo had to take over the task of slaying the monster even though she wasn't fully aware of it at first. But now, both their journeys were over, both of them had failed, and the Twilight Realm was falling apart. Cleo began to cry.
Aku grabbed her and lifted her up in his clawed hands. He started squeezing the life out of her and she screamed, tears still streaming. "LOOK AT ME! I WANT TO SEE THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES AS YOU DIE!" She continued screaming as the hard pressure constricted her body.
This is the only part where my own work unnerved me. Seriously, I could barely stomach it.
Then there was a loud blast and the pressure suddenly eased, dropping her to the ground. "WHAT?!" Cleo got up and spotted someone also on the ground, but still moving, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
"Leave... the lass... alone!" Scervo was still holding up his arm, smoke billowing out of a hole where the hook had been.
This was actually very similar in the MTG final battle when SK saves Cleo almost the same way (he even told the final boss to leave her alone). Although I didn't write this that way on purpose, I totally forgot that past scene, so this is more of a coincidence.
The next scene is an alternate scene to the essence revival brainstorming.
One of the essences, the Sprite Cloud, started to spark. "Cleo, look!" Jack spoke up. Cleo saw it and couldn't believe her eyes. "Is that...?" The Sprite Cloud was regaining color and the sparks within were coming back to life. Aku saw it too and couldn't believe his eyes. "What... what does this mean?" Jack asked.
Cleo stared at the sparks, which reminded her of the spark of friendship she had just felt and the answer hit her. "It's the bond!" Then she remembered feeling a strong bond with Jack right before the Skribal Sword returned to her. The sword also felt it, that was why it accepted her. It was her strong regard for all people, no matter how different. "MID! I NEED YOU, PLEASE!"
"WHATEVER YOU ARE UP TO, YOU WILL BE DEAD BEFORE YOU CAN GAIN ANY HELP!" Aku was about to blast her with another laser, but then Finn and Midna appeared, surrounding them all in Nayru's Love and blocking the attack. Aku snarled in rage.
Finn's hand was still glowing as he held onto the weakened Midna. "I don't how long this shield will hold!" Finn said. "If you have a plan, tell us quickly!"
"Mid? What happened to you?" Cleo asked, staring at her friend in worry.
"Finn's... ...keeping me from becoming a lost spirit... with the Triforce of Wisdom."
"Midna, I need to find some way to get in touch with everyone in this realm. You're the Twilight Princess, so you must know something. Can you help me?"
"I'm not sure... everyone's become lost... I was almost lost myself without Finn, but I don't know if I can contact anyone..." she said between heavy breaths.
"I am a lost spirit still," Jack added. "Maybe I can."
"Hey guys!? Flamebrow's breaking in!" There had been loud clashes of energy as Aku attacked the magic shield, cracks slowly forming.
The reason this version didn't make it into the story is because I was overestimating Cleo's ability to come up with this kind of plan, this fast. She had managed to come up with good plans, but this kind of brainstorming is not exactly at her level at this age, as this would not be very clear for her. I had to rewrite and rearrange this scene until I made it so that everyone put their heads together over how to revive the essences and Jack, who is more spiritually attuned, is the one to figure it out.
"...It will work... 'cause I have all of you with me." The three of them were locked hand in hand with Jack in the middle. "I don't need a weapon to be great, all I need is a friend."
She said that same line after Jack defended her from Scervo and the stolen Skribal Sword.
And Cleo felt true happiness fill her grieving heart and mind.
In BT, happiness is the key to her true spiritual potential, which she finally discovers after she completed her Eight Great Portals mission. So this is a little call forward to the important element in the sequel.
A bright light had ignited, coming from underneath Cleo. A glowing circle in the shape of a flower appeared, petal by petal. The tears still falling were starting to shimmer again, floating up like bubbles. A diamond-shaped light appeared on her forehead and when she opened her eyes, they were also filled with pure light. The tears soared up into the air and traveled over the Twilight Realm, then rained down upon the lost inhabitants.
In Midnight Hollow, the chief was once again feeling as though all hope was gone. But then he looked up and saw rain falling through the trees. The Drabokos were gathering around in wonder. "This rain... this is no ordinary rain... ...Could it be?..." His face fell. "Cleo, I don't know if you can hear me... but we still haven't fully made it up to you for what we had done. I wish to settle our debt, let us make amends to you..."
Flowebb was gloomily cleaning up, after closing the bar, when curiosity toward the rain pulled him outside. He stared at the rain in awe. "Cleo... Thanks for helping me and my business. I want to return the favor."
Meteroi and the other Mortrams were hiding in a cave when the rain brought them all out. "Cleo, you're trying to save us again aren't you... I can feel it in my gut. Don't give up! We need to cheer for her fellas!" The Mortrams began chanting her name.
Defross and Glacia were huddled together, watching the rain with the Snyorgans. "It's Cleo, I know it is," said Glacia. "She fighting out there for us."
"We're both with you Cleo," said Defross.
Squurall was doing some repair work on one of his windmills when the rain gave him a moment of pause. "Cleo, I don't know where you are, but I'm here for you if you need me again."
All of the Twilis in the village were bunched together, reaching out to the tears of light, cheering with the elder woman in the center. "I always knew you would be the one to save our realm... Both you and Jack. Don't let this evil take over... free us all..."
All their voices carried to the Altar of Dawn and one by one the essences were revived. Only the Moon Pearl remained and the last of her tears flowed into Finn, Midna, and Jack, reviving the last essence.
This was inspired from the Paper Mario series, most notably the final fight in TYD (Thousand Year Door). The little diamond on her forehead is also a call forward to BT, Fi having that mark.
"You are so screwed, Aku!"
"I do not even want to know what that means," added Jack, although by his tone, he was liking the idea.
NO! It's not what any of you dirty minded people think it is!
"Mid! Take Finn and get outta here!"
"I will!" She quickly teleported herself and Finn away before Aku could blast them with his lasers, narrowly avoiding being hit. The laser hit the red horizon, turning into a little, lingering light in the distance.
I added the lingering light part to the story after I was finished with the rest of the chapter, because I realized the black hole needed a bit of foreshadowing.
"You're nothing but a coward!"
Aku turned his burning glare back at her. "FOR THAT REMARK, I SHALL DO WORSE THAN KILL YOU! I WILL DRAG YOU INTO THE PIT OF HATE AND MAKE YOU WATCH AS I DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SWORN TO PROTECT!"
"I am so getting tired of your ham!"
Yeah, he's pretty hammy, especially in the cartoon opening where Aku himself tells about the main plot, which does get tiring fast (and makes me wanna fastforward onto the episode).
Aku turned into a floating spiral and the twilight markings on his form spread across the air and the entire environment turned black for a moment. The darkness faded and they were no longer on the top of the Altar of Dawn. Cleo looked around her and realized she was back on top of the Temple of Hira where her whole adventure began, only this time within the Twilight Realm.
In TP, Zant also had the power to transport the fight to other places, so I used that for the various animal forms Aku turns into to suit his environment, and it's the perfect opportunity for Cleo to use all of the runes in this final fight. At first, I thought of only using most of the important items, like in BT, but I decided "no I'll use them all... somehow".
Aku then shifted into the form of a large shelled beast with spikes.
He withdrew into his shell like an armadillo and rolled after her. The shell was too hard for her blade to penetrate, she needed to use something powerful. Aku tried to ground pound her and she barely dodged him. She suddenly felt the ground give way, again her fast reacting mind told her to grab the edge. As she hung on, she felt stupid forgetting the area had the pitfall trap. She pulled herself up and looked around for Aku. He must've fallen in the pit but she wasn't surprised to see him leap out of it. The pitfall closed up and Cleo stuck to the edge of the rooftop. He rolled after her again, and nearly fell off. As he was wobbling on one foot, Cleo quickly equipped Mars and Mjolnir, drew a Q on the floor, and rushed to Aku's back to grab his tail with the lighting clawshot (she had to be really fast). He was heavy, but she managed to spin him around and release him onto the Q, the burning line almost gone. It exploded on him, sending him skyrocketing and crashing.
The first form is definitely my favorite! This is nearly like the Bowser battle in Super Mario 64 (N64, 1996), a neat Nintendo reference I couldn't resist writing in. Also, if you remember correctly, there had been a pitfall in the very first chapter of this story that Cleo had jumped over.
She looked at the lightning and activated Mjolnir again as he started to dive bomb her. The lightning hit the sword and she redirected it at the bat, electrocuting him.
A late new function added to the Mjolnir rune. This little trick was from a brush technique from Okami.
He transformed into a giant lizard, then his black body turned red as he puffed up and breathed out fire which spread around him. Cleo avoided the fire but couldn't get through to attack him. He turned green next and spat green fire at her, penetrating the red flame wall. She equipped Iris and threw the sword. It flew through the green fire, absorbing it, continued through the red, and hit his green body, causing him damage. Then he recreated the wall with both red and green fire in different places and changed color more rapidly as he attacked Cleo.
The only reason there aren't any other colors because Aku literally can't change his own color scheme (black, with some red, green, and a bit of white accents). That's one of the few weaknesses he has, so when he has to disguise himself, he has to think this through very carefully.
Another change of scenery and form, Cleo faced Aku's strangest form yet in the heart of Blue Crater. He had the body of a bull, the head of a crocodile, and two huge arms on his back holding swords. He was covered in flames and absorbed metal from the walls to create armor. He charged at her, swinging his swords, flames erupting from the blades. She dodged the attack, nearly getting hit, a small spout of fire barely licking her sleeve. She used Pele to gather blue lava and splash it on his armor. As she chipped away, Aku leaped up and stomped his legs to shoot out a ring of fire. Cleo blocked it with her shield and resumed her chipping. She soon got rid of his armor and now had to deal with the fire on his body. She used Futen to blow out the fire, revealing a skeletal body, and hacked away at him.
This is also referencing another video game battle and from Okami. The form he took was of Crimson Helm and the battle strategy is similar.
In the next round they were underneath the Tree of Dusk and Aku became a mole. He burrowed through the ground and tried to get her from underneath. He made the ground very unstable wherever Cleo stood and she needed to jump away quickly before falling through. Multiple sinkholes formed as she ran. Aku then started popping out to catch her off guard and duck back in before she could gain a hit. She decided to narrow down his maneuvers with Viridi by growing strong vines over all the holes except one. Once he was forced out of the only hole did Cleo whack him good.
The part for the Viridi rune gave me the most trouble. I was afraid I was gonna have to drop this one, but in the end I ended up using it for a classic arcade game (I'm sure you know which game I'm talking about).
Then everything went black and, this time, stayed black. Cleo was in total darkness, guessing she was in Pitch Black Caves. She quickly equipped and used Will-o-Wisp to light up the area and was suddenly attacked from behind, feeling sharp claws on her back. He pinned her down, and she struggled with all her might to push him off. Aku slinked back into the darkness before she could spot him. She was sure he could see her in the dark, so she needed to outsmart him. Cleo summoned more little lights, ran to a corner, and equipped Anubis. She extinguished the lights and drew a shadow copy of herself, letting it wander around while she stayed crouched and still. She heard a growl and a pounce and, pinpointing the source, ambushed him.
This is the only time his form wasn't described, but if you have to guess what it is, it's most obviously some kind of big cat, since most big cat species hunt at night.
She saw his markings glow in the dark and everything lit up again. Cleo fell in the water with a splash and, frantically paddling, hurried to a raft. She was back on the Bioluminisle lake. A sea serpent rose up amidst the circle of rafts. He opened his mouth wide and spat green slime at her. Cleo leapt onto the next raft, before it hit and melted the one she'd been on. She got her Flamel rune ready in case she were to run out of rafts. Then she equipped Shenlong and waited for an opportunity. Aku opened his mouth again and she bent water into it, overhydrating him and his head collapsed onto a raft. She hopped on and struck him.
I once thought of having Cleo fight the sea serpent Aku from on top of a lighthouse where she uses the light to pinpoint his location. But that would break the fighting-in-the-same-boss-rooms streak.
They were transported again to (Cleo guessed correctly) inside the cone shaped room in the Nebula Observatory. Aku fused into one of the stained glass windows, becoming part of a living image. He darted between the windows surrounding the room. She got Sagittarius ready to shoot at him. He split in two to confuse her. While she was trying to figure out which one was fake, one of them leapt out and zapped a bolt down on her. She fell after a painful shock and heard him laugh. Cleo quickly recovered and made her decision fast. Trusting her instincts, she fired a light arrow at one of the images and he screamed and fell out of the window. Then she attacked.
This was from the Phantom Ganon battle in OoT (three different VG battle references in the same final battle!). The whole Aku becoming part of the stained glass window thing was an idea I got from a scene in MLP FIM where Discord was taunting the main six with a riddle hinting the whereabouts to the Elements of Harmony, all while in the form of a stain glass image.
