Predictably, Bastian steals the book and sneaks off to read it. Inside he finds the story of Atreyu's quest to save Fantasia from the Nothing, a terrible force that threatens the fictional world from all sides. Bastian gets caught up in the story and soon finds himself mysteriously cropping up in what he reads; at one exciting moment he screams and immediately reads of Atreyu cringing at the sound. Bastian is drawn in more and more, eventually playing a pivotal role at the story's climax...
...Welch's grape-jelly jar. Three bullies from school beat him up and make him jump in a trash bin. A total loser. Then he goes up into the school attic and starts reading this book, and it sort of pulls him into the Land of Fantasia. I mean, he's the one who controls the gate of the people in the book.

...many ways, both good and bad, the album is what many Mannbeim Steamroller followers might have guessed their fifth album would be: a mix of their four previous albums. The chants, such as the opening "Lumen," are reminiscent of the "Fantasia" side of Fresh Aire II, especially with the strong instrumental background on both. On V. however, the vocals are done by the Cambridge Singers and are recorded in the resinous Ely Cathedral, giving them a chilling quality never achieved in earlier Fresh Aire chants.
