All Bodi could hear were the deafening screams and shouts of his audience as he took one more breath on the stage of his band's concert. Taking one glimpse at his parents cheering him on, then his band members, his mentor Angus (adjusting the chords of his guitar), his new girlfriend Darma (glancing at Bodi as she gestured him to hurry on), drummer Grem (drumming a bit, drumsticks on his paws) and rebel turned ally Trey (also waiting to perform the final song). The mastiff felt he needed time, but he knew they were one song away from completing the concert.
Two years after he left the village to become a rock star (because his father banned music in the village), he found a new purpose in moving to Mengcheng. If not for barging into Darma, Grem and Trey at the park, if not for trespassing into Angus's mansion, and if not for them to come together to defeat the wolves as they were about to conquer Bodi's old village, the mastiff and his band members would not be where they were today.
Closing his eyes once more, he remembered making a visit back to the village once more, this time taking a moment to touch an urn that contained the ashes belonging to Uncle Fleetwood. He shed a small tear and wiped it off, realising he truly missed Uncle Fleetwood Yak.
It was about time as he let his lips vibrate the microphone stand. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our final song for the night. This one's dedicated to not just those in the Mengcheng Indoor Stadium but for those that impacted our lives. Ian Rashford, our agent who's backstage, my parents Khampa and Karli, those from the village that came from the village and to those watching wherever you are. This song... is for all of us. I hope you enjoyed and once again, thank you Mengcheng!!!"
As the crowd cheered, he nodded to the rest of the band, ready to perform the final song of the evening. No time to waste, then.
(Song: "Army of Us" by Andreas Johnson)
Close your eyes and count to ten
Better days will come again
We're wild roses in the dark
I can hear your beating heart
We live for the night
We live for the day
When all lights have faded
We're building an army of us
So trust we're driven by lust
When all lights have faded
We're building an army of us
Do we dream too much?
We're building an army of us
Do we dream too much?
