Rory sat on bench in the garden, flipping through the playlist on his IPhone. The warm weather made the gardens a nice place for him to sit and think. He had arrived at the mansion earlier in the week, and was getting used to the new surroundings. He couldn't really complain, the place was a literal mansion, with plenty of space to be alone with his thoughts. He could imagine using the settings for inspiration, maybe try writing a new piece, the gardens definitely brought ideas to mind. It must have cost a fortune to have this place landscaped.
Of course that would have to wait. He was busy settling in, as well as getting his courses straitened out. It wouldn't be long till he would be taking classes, and of course working on his powers. Which was what he was doing now in fact. He found the song he was looking for, The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky. He pressed play and set the phone on the bench. He the stood and took a breath focusing. He concentrated, pulling stardust from his surrounding s an condensing it into his hand, shaping it into a rod, and refining it into a thin conducting wand that he raised as the music started. He imagined an orchestra before him as he began conducting. It was'nt ideal of course, the music was recorded and constant, he wasn't so much conducting as just tapping out the beat, but it freed up his concentration to focus on his powers. As the slow soft music began, he waved the wand in tempo, a fine steam of stardust forming at the tip and slowly rose into the air, looking like a starry stream as the dust twinkled and sparkled as it moved.
