Soundtrack Prompt: Create a suspenseful and mysterious soundtrack for a teen mystery series. The music should evoke a sense of intrigue, hidden secrets, and growing danger. Use instruments like strings, piano, and atmospheric synthesizers. For this chapter, emphasize the initial discovery and the growing curiosity and unease of the characters. Include a subtle, recurring motif associated with the "raven's shadow," perhaps a low, ominous note or a distorted sound. This sets the stage for a thrilling mystery. As always, remember the importance of realistic movement and smooth transitions in your video prompts. Let me know when you're ready for the next chapter.
