The first note (Ace)- Represented the archer with accuracy beyond comprehension.
The Second Note - Represented the life he had and never wanted.
The Third Note - Represented the amount of siblings he had.
The Forth Note - Represented his wants and desires.
The Fifth Note - Represented the road he would take to get there.
The Sixth Note - Represented how he was going to do it.
The Seventh Note - Represented what he would take with him on his journey.
The Eighth Note - Represented what the amount of time he predicted to make his new life happen.
The Ninth Note - Represented the hardships during his adventure.
The Tenth Note - Represented what he gave up for it.
The Eleventh Note - Represented finally capturing his dream.
The Twelfth Note- What he learn and how everything he thought he knew was wrong.
