It's a good piece, and uses unconventional modes nicely, but takes quite a while to buildup... would've preferred if the faster piano arpeggios at 3:33 were introduced a bit sooner in the piece.

Description
When I first saw the theme, I thought of the fire burning inside the lantern and wanted to make something to do with that. I also took the secret part from the text theme and I made a piece that's kind of similar to recursive music. I thought that 'secret' could be something hard to get to and I think the looping of the music illustrates that with the constant panning from left to right, and the constant looping, which kind of gives a feel of something being mysterious and far away.
I used the Akebono Scale, which is a type of Japanese scale since the image is Lake Biwa, a lake in Japan, and I also added 2 drone notes which are played on strings throughout the piece to be a 'floor' (get it? sea floor, floor) to the piece, and the layers of piano on top represent the swirling and ever changing waters above the sea floor.
