Napster wanted the throne of his father, Odin. So he challenged his father to a duel of songs because he could sing. His father Odin did not deem it proper to enter into a battle with his son, so he called on one of his faithful subjects to stand in for him. He chose Sophie, the goddess of tears, to stand in for him, then the rule of the contest was set.
Napster began first as he was the challenger, he sang songs of beautiful melody with a host of many musical instruments. This got most people on their feet as they swayed to the melody of the songs. When he concluded some were already hailing him as their next king. Sophie now took center stage, she was good on the flute, so she began to play. The songs she played touched people to the soul that they began to acknowledge the supremacy of their king. In the end the judges felt that Sophie should be the winner because her songs has caused them to think rather than shake their bodies.
With Napster overcome, Odin began a new epoch declaring it the year of the Sophie’s flute.
