A new dawn

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

The forest spirits were singing to her from the heart of the shrine, and she slowly drifted into sleep by the warmth of the fire. The souls of ancestral fairies guarded the slumber of their sister, floating around her, playing with strands of her hair, adding to the magical song that lulled her. The glade seems to glow under the bright moonlight.

The morning finds her stretching languidly on the fresh grass, drinking in the sunshine with every grateful inch of her skin. She spreads her wings, and playful droplets of dew fly around, creating thousands of little colorful rainbow crystals in the air. It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life…

And I’m feelin’ good.

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel

Keres and the Guardian of Celestial Plain

I followed the scent of the blood of the Fairechylde
Through mountains and valleys to Celestial Plain
The air reeks of ancient and colorful magic
But soon I will flood it with gloom and decay.

Primeval ruins give way to wild nature
The spells in the air obfuscate my sense
I found myself face to face with a creature
Magnificent guardian of these wretched plains.

“Who comes to our gates creeping in from the darkness?
Who dares bring this furtive stench of sadness and death?
Halt there on your step, loathsome spectre, name yourself,
For I am the Sacred Guardian of this Celestial Plain!”

The ground under me vanished at a sweep of his staff
I was dragged to the void by a most tenebrous wind
When I woke up, he wasn’t there, neither was that land
The memory of his bright eyes still crawls on my skin.

Follow the quest of the antediluvian Keres, while she hunts for souls in her attempt to invade the breathtaking Fairelands, from April 18th to May 5th. She was just ejected from the magnificent Celestial Plain, and she didn’t even have time to see the dragon… Where will she land next?

Celebrating its 11th year, Fantasy Faire 2019 is the largest gathering of talented designers, enthusiasts, role-players and performers in the virtual world, getting together to enjoy the art, events, and of course, the shopping, all in benefit of the American Cancer Society, via Relay For Life (RFL).

Quotes: My own ramblings

Keres hunting – The calling

The late snows are thawing in the murky night
And to the smell of souls arriving so I rise
A hunger from past winters moves my limbs
As the Fairelands re-emerge from within mists

My blood heeds ancient summons in the moonlight
Old vengeful spirits of death and doom and blight
We will overrun the Junction and all the Fairelands
I relish in the promise of a most blasphemous hunt

Follow the quest of the antediluvian Keres, while she hunts for souls in her attempt to invade the breathtaking Fairelands, from April 18th to May 5th. Here she drifts at the Junction, the life center of the lands, the beginning and the end of the cycle of fantastic realms, bringing in the ancient voices of the vengeful spirits to guide her next steps.

She’s hungry…

Made of light

Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city’s made of light

You will doubt your mind, and rightfully so. You will wonder what you drank, or smoked, because reality will not seem to fit, but it will be true. Face it with a smile and let yourself be devoured by the light.

Quote: “Neon lights”, by U2

Change the world

I want to change the world,

Pierce through the winds,

I’m not afraid of anything, now with the courage

and fragments of the smile I hold.

Beyond the grey skies,

Something was left behind,

You wandered about,

And kept on searching about.

Your heart trembled,

The morning of a night you couldn’t see.

Unable to believe anything,

With covered ears…

When I met you,

I’d found where I truly belong,

With the casual kindness

That’s here,

We awaken.

Change my mind,

Without losing my passion,

If I reach out my hand to the beating future,

I’m sure to shine,

It’s wonderland.

Quotes: “Change the World”, from Inuyasha

 

Voices I hear

Mystical voices, floating, calling;
Dim farewells – the last, the last? –
“Come, come away, the night is falling;
Come, come away, the day is past!”

You cannot be sure if what you heard is the wind dancing through the cracks of the cave, or an eerie whisper calling your name, playing with your fears. Could those be steps, could those be crystals clinking through the silence, or just a random water drop crashing on the rocks?

A silhouette emerges from the darkness, pale as a deadly sin. The moonlight shines on the majestic symbols engraved on its ghastly skin, the delicate beauty of red roses, evoking droplets of blood on silent snow.

It turns around in a blind stare, a blinding stare, a scream trapped in your throat. There is beauty and it’s almost overwhelming, or perhaps it’s just the lure of darkness itself.

Tell me your message, Ye who are calling
Out of the dimness vague and vast? –
Lift me, take me, – the night is falling;
Quick, let us go, – the day is past!

Quote: “Twilight Voices” by William Allingham.

Exactly like you

I know why I waited
Know why I’ve been blue
I’ve been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you

Seven years ago, on a beautiful summer night between German holidays just like now, I saw him for the first time. He walked on the dance floor and I remember thinking he was the most handsomest man I had seen. Only a few minutes later, he was dancing with me, the first of many nights that I would feel the world disappear in his arms.

Today we dance again, he gets lost in the sensuality of my Clairy gown, created by Witch)O(Craft exclusively for the Dazzle event, which runs until May 25th. He runs a hand through my back, playing with my Zuri Jewelry pearls, and exploring the curves of my new Cherry Blossom tattoo, also by Witch)O(Craft, which you can find at The Avenue until May 22nd.

He introduced me to Second Life, and he also took me to my first visit to 7 Deadly S{k}ins, a favorite since life before mesh. Tonight the lights shine bright on my Seventeen skin, an exclusive creation for Ultra, and his handsome Judas skin. I will never forget that first night, that first dance… that feeling of the imminent first kiss… he’s the love of all my lives.

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
Baby you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I’m dreaming
And schemes I’m scheming
