Across the crowded stadium, Finn felt his stomach churn with anxiety. He was just a warm-up act, a small fish in a massive pond. The roar of the crowd was overwhelming. Then, a familiar guitar intro filled the air. It was "Rising Tide," a song he had written years ago that was now a massive hit.

He was stunned for a moment, his jaw dropping. He felt a jolt of power surge through his veins. He stood up straight, feeling a new boldness in him. He could do anything. His fear was gone, replaced by a strange kind of thrill. He flexed his fingers, ready to play his own music.
