The fallen warrior of Öndheim

“Now, at the hour when ignorant mortals
Drowse in the shade of their whirling sphere,
Heaven and Hell from invisible portals
Breathing comfort and ghastly fear,
Voices I hear”

The pain is a fading memory, my wounds are gone. A gentle breeze dances with the grass and the blue little flowers around my feet. Öndheim always has these little flowers everywhere, it seems odd to see them growing between the stones, amidst all this death.

The portal shimmers in the twilight, there’s a warmth in its glow. The wights approach me slowly, solemn and bright. They have been my guides and companions while my soul rested in Öndheim with the rest of the fallen, but now it is time. My last journey awaits.

“Troops of joys are they, now departed?
Wingèd hopes that no longer stay?
Guardian spirits grown weary-hearted?
Powers that have linger’d their latest day?”

Let your spirit rest in the magical Öndheim.

The depths of Thunnus Bay

“I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction, beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
– Hail the Oceanborn!”

I’ve heard your kind telling the most outlandish stories about the merfolk, stories filled with mystery and allure, danger and deceit. I enjoy listening to your old tales, and I wonder how much your ancestors knew… and how. Perhaps the bravest among you dove somewhat too deep one day while looking for pearls, and caught a glimpse of the sacred temples and towers that we conceal under the waves.

On some quiet nights, when your world is asleep and there’s no sound but the soft whisper of the sea foam caressing the shores, our divine songs ripple through the surface and can be heard, dancing with the wind, toying with the leaves of the trees, gently fading until all is silent again.

Dive into the fascinating Thunnus Bay, at your own risk.

Quote: “Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean”, song by Nightwish
Prose by Arualblues

We met in Duskfall Court

“I sang of the dancing stars,
I sang of the dædal earth,
And of heaven, and the giant wars,
And love, and death, and birth.”

It could only happen here, in the dark woods of The Duskfall Court, where no mortal dares intrude, that we should meet and find each other. We, who are the things they whisper at each other with dread around their bonfires at night, we the monsters and fairies and ghouls, and forgotten gods from far away lands, we become friends, allies, and foes in the deep shadows of Duskfall Court.

Flying together down the sinuous pathways that we call our home, or wandering through the woods ready to ambush some unfortunate traveler who lost their way, our days are always filled with excitement and our friendship grows. Here in Duskfall Court, we aren’t the dreadful monsters. We are valued and cared for, we are loved.

Discover the beauty of the Fairelands… if you dare.

No more butterflies

Look now, look all around, there’s no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth

The air is rancid with death and rubble dust. It’s been many years since the last time human steps hurried along these roads, now broken and silent. There are no more voices bartering among the ruins of what was the market, no more pigeons pecking at bread crumbs outside of the empty shell that was a bakery, no more children chasing a dog or singing a nursery rhyme on their way from the shattered remains of a school. There are no more dogs chasing birds, no more birds, no more butterflies.

There’s a piston on the heel rigged to work as realistically as possible in SL. They match our popular HarabanaR Arm Guard. Several female and male bodies supported!

Quote: Planet Earth, song by Duran Duran
Prose by me.

Haunting the walks of men

Who stalks his ground, an hideous form,
Howling amidst the midnight storm,
Or throws him on the ridgy steep
Of some loose hanging rock to sleep

At least you have the moonlight to somewhat guide your steps as you hurry through the silent forest. You were warned not to take that little pathway, but you always know better, do you not? Old wives’ tales, you chuckled, but you did secure your dagger tight and you told yourself it would help in case you found wild animals on your way. You lost the pathway, circled back a few times, but you’re still reasonably certain that you can find the town soon. There’s a clearing ahead, it must be the right direction. You hear a soft crack behind you, like a dry branch being stepped on. All of a sudden, you feel haunted, hunted, prey. You are about to find out the truth of the old wives’ tales.

Quote: “Ode to fear”, poem by William Collins (1721-1759)
Prose by me

A pretty girl

Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray:
And, when I crossed the wild,
I chanced to see at break of day
The solitary child.

No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;
She dwelt on a wide moor,
– The sweetest thing that ever grew
Beside a human door!

I don’t blame papa. He left because he thought that I was no child of his, no matter how many times my mother swore and pleaded. I don’t blame mama. She hid me because she wanted to protect me, that small box behind the pantry was an act of love. I didn’t think that when I was little -oh, how I cried, how I cursed- but I understand her now. I don’t blame the witch either. She did nothing more than what was asked of her, it’s not her fault that my mother didn’t follow her instructions well, and I ended up looking like this. All she wanted was for me to be her perfect, pretty girl. I, too, wanted to be her pretty girl.

You yet may spy the fawn at play,
The hare upon the green;
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
Will never more be seen.

Prose by me

Once a warrior

When long ago I saw her ride
Under Ben Bulben to the meet,
The beauty of her country-side
With all youth’s lonely wildness stirred,
She seemed to have grown clean and sweet
Like any rock-bred, sea-borne bird

She grew up under the shadow of the mountain range, hearing ancient stories about ancient heroes of the land. She had dreams of brave adventures while she learned to wield a sword, and years later she had dreams of bloody vengeance while she lingered in her cell. She’s known freedom and she’s known hell, and she will defend this land with her life.

Quote: “On a political prisoner”, poem by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Prose by me

Blame my soul

Oh, setting Sun,
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose slumber wakes me in the sky.

While you carry on with your sad little life, morning follows night and the seasons never seem to move the shadows in your soul. That soul you believe to be immortal in some way, the soul that you have tarnished -not me, not ever- and now keeps you awake at night. I am innocent of your woes, but I can give you the freedom that you wish for. I have not hurt you, but I can bring you a new peace that you have yet to know. I am the only one who has not forsaken you.

The bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I have crossed.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

Quotes: “Nightwish”, song by Nightwish
Prose by me

A dreary night

And ever when the moon was low,
And the shrill winds were up and away,
In the white curtain, to and fro,
She saw the gusty shadow sway.

Sometimes she still wanders the empty rooms at night, breaking the silence with the doors upon their hinges creaking. She peers through the windows on many a rainy night, a dreary night, still waiting for his return. After a while, she remembers, alas, he will not return. She walks back to her bed, slowly and in silence, and she tries to lull herself to sleep. On the morrow, she will visit his grave again, as she does every time she has the dream.

Old faces glimmer’d thro’ the doors,
Old footsteps trod the upper floors,
Old voices call’d her from without.
She only said, “My life is dreary,
He cometh not…”

Throne of the Starborn

Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show
Separating the poet from the woe

My throne exists beyond time and space, beyond everything that you call reality. On my throne, nothing can touch me, no words can stir me, no thoughts can harm me, no winds can move me. I simply exist, and there is nothing but silence. And peace.
