The sound is balanced…and works.. it might be interesting to see where you might go from where you left off.. (how and if you decide to modulate) .
Theory can be helpful in revealing options, and blind spots, but it can't (really) write the piece for you… Reminiscent of Hans Zimmer, yes?

You are right. I admire Hans Zimmer

But the motif played by violas in the beginning is used in many works for action movies and video games. The piece is intended to be used in series/movies' opening credits so it has to be short in length.
