The Beckoning Light on the Marsh

Dungeon/fantasy/forest synth again. You shouldn't follow the light!

Asked my wife for an image from a dark fantasy forest and she said a marshy place and just beyond the foliage you see a strange glow... so I did that. It went somewhere.

I find percussion to be really hard to work into more atmospheric pieces like this. It's really smooth here and adds a lot to the narrative.

What I think of as the "light sound" (the synth/choir-y voice in the upper register) really is compelling. How can I not follow it, given that it actually bends in the last section?

Ha - for all the lovely fantasy/foresty synthiness, melodically I also get more than a smidge of Morricone, which is very welcome!
