Guiding Do Re Mi

As the Eidolon gently guides the ethereal forms of Do, Re, and Mi towards the tranquil shores of the River of Souls, it becomes privy to their shared, tragic narrative. Each Tutor, in turn, imparts a fragment of their story, their voices a melodic whisper that carries the weight of regret and betrayal.
 
Do speaks first, its tone heavy with sorrow. “Gregor sought the Chord of Awakening, a harmony said to unlock the mind’s eye to the symphony of the universe. He believed this chord could blur the boundaries between dream and reality. Alas, our teachings could not satisfy his voracious hunger for this forbidden knowledge.”
 
Re continues, a note of lament in its melody. “Our efforts to guide him were earnest, rooted in ancient lore and the sacred harmonies of creation. Yet, the complexity of the Chord eluded us, and with each failed attempt, Gregor’s frustration grew into wrath.”
 
Mi concludes, its song tinged with a desolate acceptance. “In punishment for our perceived failures, he bound us to these forms, stripping away our freedom and identities. We became mere extensions of his will, forced to echo the discord of his obsession rather than the celestial music we once revered.”
 
Together, their stories weave a tapestry of ambition corrupted by impatience and cruelty. Gregor, in his relentless pursuit to meld the essence of dreams with the tangible world and to comprehend the music that underlies reality, transformed his mentors into instruments of his obsession. The Tutors, once guardians of profound musical and metaphysical wisdom, now stand as symbols of Gregor’s failure to breach the veil he so desperately sought to lift and of the cost of his ambition on the souls he ensnared. The Eidolon’s journey with them to the River of Souls offers not just a release from their bondage but a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between seeking knowledge and the hubris that leads to downfall.
