| Children gather around an elderly storyteller, who tells them about the day, long ago, when the children of this very village began to disappear after hearing strange music in their heads. Soon the only children remaining were a boy named Brynn and a girl named Lissa, who tried to comfort each other by telling stories about the music. However, one night Lissa disappeared as well, leaving Brynn alone. Brynn decided to rescue her himself, and slipped away from his parents, following the music in his head to the metal mountain that towered over the village. Near the mountain, he met a wizard named Doctor who claimed to have been drawn here by a "distress call," and who revealed that the metal mountain was in fact a ship that travelled between the stars. The Doctor opened up the ship to let Brynn in, and they saw that the children had been wired up with circuitry and connected to the ship. The Doctor explained to Brynn that the ship had crashed here long ago, and ever since, it had been watching the people of the village and enjoying the imagination in the stories they told each other. Now the ship was dying and wanted to tell a story of its own, but it didn't understand that the children it had kidnapped to help it were independent people and not just characters in its story. The Doctor urged Brynn to help the ship, and Brynn did so by writing an ending in which he kissed Lissa, bringing her and all the other children back to life
