Have you asked an expertize musician what he/she needs in order to create music for a Scyfi Moviel?. Surely the answer will be: "I need to read the log line of the novel first, or watch a video with some scenes".
Understanding the essence of a novel or theme is the first step to create a Scyfi Novel, and perhaps the expertise of Music composition might tell this novel is "a bed of roses" like the Movie "Back to the future", or "Blade Runner 2048", or like "Inception".
Scyfi Novel-The Secret of The Oracle
The study of a rock pushes the protagonist Sebastian Aguirre who already is a geologist to study astronomy. It seems that the society has been manipulated for about four thousand years. Circumstances made him to participate in a ceremony with her patient Adriana and Raul the meal provisioner; such a ceremony involves drinking a psychotropic plant that will open a doorway to other dimension.
Chapter I
The bracelet initiated a new forecast about the weather behavior automatically, its watch said ten in morning of January 1th, year 2050, the lightning storms had increased gradually since 2030 in synchronicity with global warming and pandemics, the virus mutated several times becoming quite stronger; animals turned out to be the main disease vector for infecting 70 percent of total inhabitants on earth killing them at once.
Lightning strikes used to appear most of the time over the Andes atmosphere, the soil was impregnated with so much electric activity, thunders storms became more predictable than rain or dry seasons. Several new species of plants grew up on the mountains, the valleys and plateau surfaces, most of them were Agaricomycetes, the electrons on the surface and radiations created strange mutations on animals and plants; but many were poisoned when being ingested by humans.
“It's ok you can get that one, it's safe” Sebastian said to her daughter while they were exploring outside not faraway from his home garden.
“It's enough”, we have plenty of food for this week, we have to leave this place before the patrol to come, a new storm is not far from here.
Stretching her right arm and fingers made an effort to grasp the last mushroom and placed it in the sack with the rest. He took the sack allowing Lisa to be more comfortable for the walking back. They followed a clef, an old river seemed to have wasted the surface, colorful layers of sandstone with scale of pebbles were quite notorious near the surface, they perched over one side of the natural canal climbing up and holding themselves from the branches that were sticking out near the surface upon the canal. Then immediately the trail turned out to be pretty even with few rocks to dodge at times. That was 11 in the morning just in time to meet Raul by the crossroad with his cargo.
“Daddy! Daddy!,” She paused and continued until to get the doorway.
“The radio is not working, and I am not able to talk to Raul, can we live without algae and coca leaves? I do not know what is going on!”, she said with her head folding down upon her right shoulder, then she used her left hand to touch the smooth surface of a gray rock with seven segments carved artificially by an ancestral civilization, her right hand held the device with her elbows resting upon the rock near the crossroad in front of his garden.
“The species of algae where Raul comes from are pretty nutritious my queen and without coca leaves our car does not move, remember that lithium was forbidden by the government!, it's better to go home now!, perhaps he had some issues with the patrol or the storm”.
“I guess too much electric activity damaged the signal decoder again ,” Lissa said as he watched the horizon were cargo was supposed to come.
“Better to go inside before the lightning storm to come, let me see our provisions in the basement,” They crossed the road toward the garden and entered into the house.
“Do not worry! , I will be back in a minute´,” Watching her seriously he went out from his bedroom and then through the alley he got the stairs and descended the steps and crossed the living room to get the basement.
A voice from the kitchen room near the living room was heard, “Juice is ready with the new species of strawberries that Raul discovered recently! Do you want to try?
“Thank you honey, that would be great!,” And sliding the glass doorway, opened it and became amazed with the size of the at least ten times the size of strawberries thirty years ago, they vanished from earth forever.
He became in a deep trance, it seems that the new specie of fruit had a powerful effect on meditation, an hallucinogenic effect, his sight kept focused in one point over an old rug, it had an ancestral stairs designed acquired decades ago in the market of Chinchero when they accompanied some relatives that were living in San Diego California just before the pandemic.
“Mammie, Can I try it?”
“No way! Just hold on a minute!, let me try first” She took a glass with the beverage taking a sip, she waited for a few seconds but she did not feel anything at all.
“I guess you are quite sensitive, I am fine I do not feel any side effect ”
She took a new glass with the juice and pour more water on it to lessen any side effect that might appear over Lissa.
“It's ok, it's safe!, go ahead!”
And all of a sudden Sebastian's vision turned out to be the image of a Raul rescuing a woman, but the image was quite blur and vanished immediately in synchronicity with a thunder strike that resound the whole valley, a silence followed the orchestra of celestial ceiling and few seconds later the noise of an animal was heard and Sebastian turned aware and Lissa near the small telescope said:
“It's Raul with someone else!”
Instantly, Sebastian climbed up the spiral staircases and managed the big telescope calibrating with both hands and adjusted it for a shorter distance, the room was full of maps and books, but standing out in one corner an Ephemerides table appeared.
In the other side a big desk, a wide lamp attached to the desk, a computer in the middle and more books of ancestral medicine, mythology and astronomy altogether one over the other.
He watched through the telescope and a mutated camel appeared first, that was twice the size of regular horse that existed before extinguished, he slightly moved the telescope leftwards, and he could see strings hanging from the animal's neck and all of a sudden a hand appeared holding it, that was Raul bending on his knees, the wind and dust blur a little his face, but dissipated intermediately and then same face of a woman showed again, the wind made her hair cover her face bias, she was lying on the ground and Raul trying to reanimate her.
Screaming of voices were heard and Sebastian took his Jacket and took with him an electronic device, run outside towards the garden. As he approached to them, he noticed that the woman was bleeding near the abdomen.
“How big is the wound?” Sebastian asked.
“It’s no bad,” He answered.
Marta y Lisa showed up in the scenery stealthily some meters behind Sebastian, they approached to the animal and took the strings carefully tying up to the tree near the garden and unpacked the cargo from the animal, the sound of thunders seemed to get away and dust and wind vanished as well.
He grasped the electronic device and placed it over the woman's neck, the oscillator wave showed sinusoidal curves near a bar indicating a lower range, then repeated the operation with Raul.
“Let's take her inside, fortunately she was not exposed to radiation, she just faint,” He claimed.
“It’s a good idea,” Raul said exhausted.
He pressed a button near the tip of the device and currents of electricity emerged from short copper needles, the wound was cauterized, “she's safe now”, she just need to rest.
“Perseus must be thirsty after a long trip,” Lisa added and took a bucket from the garden to feed the animal.
Just for fun, Lisa had the habit to empty the cistern accumulated by rain and then let water run by means of a pivot tripod and a tube connected to a sprinkler allowing a narrows jets of water escape and provoke artificial rainbows when the sun shines that direction. This time occurred to her to use the water to refresh the exhausted animal, the big llama seemed to be amused with that.
“Where did you find her?”
“Perseus did, I just left some provisions in the last ghost town and when I got closer to Perseus, she was bleeding there hidden behind the giant tree near the sulfuric river”
“Did you notice anyone close by?”
“I spent my whole life studying the mutations of every living being on this planet, but since new world order forbidden any king of research, I came up with the idea of working underground and new studies, by the way!, you have to explain Martha more about these strawberries”.
“Oh great! So you felt the side effects!”
“What do you mean? Marta did not!”
All of a sudden, the woman lying over began to rave and Martha approached to her with a damp cloth, a placed it over her head, then she handle a little device to connect her bracelet, she was sweating, the bracelet emitted a purple light over the room displaying her information through an hologram, her photo appears, her full name, dna information, hash codes and three tiny scanner codes.
She turned around and led toward the first crystal screen were food was prepared, in the meantime Sebastian followed the spiral staircases to watched again on the horizon through the telescope.
Raul was raised in the countryside, his parents were humble farmers and they never received education, barely they finished primary school; however they were full of Myths and local believes. Raul was distinct, he was curious for learning everything although he did not have the enough scientific resources he was enough smart to realize how the world worked.
“I never saw a telescope until now, waoh?”
“I am sorry for leaving you alone downstairs, I just wanted to make sure that patrol did not followed you”
“So many stars in these old maps”
“But something is wrong with this constellation, I just followed the same ancient techniques used by Claudio Ptolomeo and Eratosthenes, they used simple math to measure and calculate the Earth's circumference, did you learn advance geometry when you were enrolled to the military service?”
“Not really, we were trained to exterminate the activist groups, but I couldn't do it and that's why I ran away”.
“Since the global government forbidden to the humanity the access to astronomical information, it was hard to my computers to develop an ephemerides table that locates celestial objects”.
“What’s wrong with that constellation?”, Raul quite curious replied.
Sebastian step backward and pressed a bottom over a small control device and top roof open crystal screen that filter the sunlight, and a dark ceiling appeared before their eyes and when he was about to resume, Martha interrupted.
“We should better take this woman faraway from here before the patrol discovered her whereabouts”
“What do you mean?”
“She is an activist refugee”
“Did you try to disconnect the bracelet?”
“I did!, but it's hard to decode the password”
“It must be cryptographed to the government blockchain”
All of sudden voices were heard down below, that was Lisa screaming and right away they went down the staircases, the woman was convulsing, Raul hurried up to take her by the nape following her movements and finally she vomited a green saliva.
“It's ok, medicine is having her side effects, she will be fine!”, Sebastian said with his relax and cold manners, then turned around getting away from the large room and vanished through another crystal doorway, while Martha placed again a wiper over her forehead. Lisa remained stunned watching the scenery motionless, the room turned in silence while Sebastian shadow emerged again, he was bringing something in his right hand, set up the electronic helmet and placed it over the woman's head, she was still unconscious, the indicators turned on red, that was scanning to find out a hidden object in her body.
Martha walkaway through another crystal doorway, turned on a button behind a metal table and a tableware rolled out.
Martha served mushrooms, elderberries, algae and water.
As they finished the meal, an algorithmic music was played automatically when Lissa said, “Music #3690 now!”
“So are you going to tell us more about the giant strawberry and its side's effects?”
All of a sudden, a burst of laughter emerged and then he grew up serious.
“Excuse me lady, I laugh because this is the sign that the elderly were talking about all these years and I did not give them importance until now.”
“Who are they?”, Marta replied.
“The elderly are my old ancestors.”
