Fairytail Fox

Flickr Version~ RAW SL Snapshot, no Edit

There was once a beauty beyond reach,

Not even the richest could beseech,

Honors and modesty she portrayed,

What was her purpose she obeyed,

Years and years she remained alone,

Happily living on her own,

Bathed in the riches of her own land,

Not needing a helping hand,

Until one very fine day changed it all,

She met a prince that made her fall,

Who would have thought she would,

No one knew that love she could,

Sadly on the day they are to be wed,

Jealousy and evil plans ahead,

Curses and spells were burned,

Into a nine tailed fox he turned,

The beauty could not reverse,

The cruel witch's curse,

Legend says that till this day,

The beauty silently sways,

Her nine tailed fox in her hold,

Forever and always through it all...

Note:

I was so in love with the Kitsunes that were released by Jian at lootbox last month. I of course played that gatcha until I got both the RARES! Kitsunes deserves to be in a magical atmosphere so to put this whole idea together, I decided to go with one of Azul's latest gowns. Mina's hair was the best, I needed an updo and I remember seeing that at the latest Uber round. I have always used the wing necklace and earrings combo for most of my more elegant looks and only now I realize it is from AvaWay, they have so many lovely accessories. Something was still missing and I knew that after I tried on Stardust's Ayakuma Tattoo! Everything looks so magical, dreamy and I admit I took the photo last month and only tonight managed to write up a lovely poem to match it all.

Spirit Animal

Flickr Version~ RAW SL Photo, No Edit

The lovely music of his screeching call could be heard a few miles before he gracefully landed over my extended arms that was ready to greet him. "What news have you brought for me, my sweet?" I asked, a fond smile forming over my red lips that matched the color of my chosen attire for the day. He flapped his wings in reply, nipping my ears lovingly and whispering a high monotone of tweets while he was at it. 

There is plenty he shares through his eyes, that he shares only with me, for we are each others missing piece that links the gap between the mortal realm and the spirit realm. Not many are lucky to find their rightful Spirit Animal, not many as focused and determined to prevail all the trials and hardships. It took me years of my young adulthood and plenty of sacrifices before I reached the eligibility to be given the chance at seeking my companion. 

I watch him fondly grooming himself before my gaze travels over the land below, the land that is my home and the land that I am soon to govern in the coming days. Am I fit to be a ruler? Would I be able to guide my people just as my father had guided them and his father before him? My little companion pecked my nose to destroy all my thoughts, bringing me back to reality from my doubts. I smiled towards him as he tilted his head, letting out a small caw as if he was telling me not to worry. His big eyes were full of knowledge and understanding.

To be chosen was a treasure and to be able to live my legacy, I must remain headstrong.

Note:

This picture was actually taken awhile back but I wanted to give it a justified story before I posted it. I really love Jian's falcons and I could not resist basing my picture around them. Somehow, I managed to find the right outfit only because I wanted to wear something red, since it was the Christmas season and you see so many reds everywhere, I felt inspired to be part of the flock. But, I did not want to do a typical Christmas picture, just something different. Addams had this lovely short dress that always fascinated me but I had no excuse to get it or wear it until this picture idea came about. I paired the Love Rush Dress with Aii's lovely Red Thorny Succubus Skirt, Aii is amazing with creativity and that skirt is one accessory that I manage to pair with many of my outfits and it always ends up giving that striking feeling or magical feeling. One more day to 2018, hope everyone has a great one and as for the story, who knows if it will continue. ;)

Fiery Soul

Flickr Link~ Raw SL Snapshot, No Edit

Along the fiery path she walks,

Heavily tired of empty talks,

Staring down with rage filled gaze,

An unavoidable blaze,

The dragon's royalty,

The wolf's loyalty,

Two different realities...

Along the fiery path she thrives,

Inspiring other lives,

Immunity to negativity,

Bringing the damn to captivity,

The dragon's heat,

The wolf's deceit,

Where two worlds meet...

Along the fiery path she stands,

Watching for anyone who understands,

Hands are ready to strike,

Singing with all her might,

The dragon and the wolf's reign,

All their enemies will drain,

A never ending rhyme,

Dates back to the end of time...

Writer's Note:

I just had to visit Kurenai Event and I didn't leave empty handed. I went there for Gabriel and quickly left because I know my shopping tendencies. It quickly gave me a good mood to do a photograph and if you want some surreal fantasy japanese into the mix, your go to must be {Aii}. Little companions always make any story or poem richer!

These Walls

Flickr Link~ No Edit, Raw SL Snapshot

These walls have seen plenty. It could be its own history for the amount of scenes, emotions, behaviors and dark secrets it can bear witness towards. How hard must it be to be able to learn more about the dwellers who stay even for  short while, a single day is enough to learn what the heart bears, to see fully raw character being displayed and to burn in the happiness that emits within.  Families on vacation were very entertaining, a lot of hustle and bustle in the house, the kitchen always fresh with the smell of food and pattering footsteps running all over the wooden floors while giggles and yells rang around. Newly weds or couples were full of neediness for each other, mostly spending the entire day making love in any part of the little escape they could, lost in their little world of preparation to be with each other forever or just to stop the mind from thinking of day to day activities and enjoy a peaceful company with temptations. Group of friends were pretty simple, all they need is music and drinks then they hardly realize how many days pass by half forgetting what was done or where they are.

One day though, these walls did see something different. Through the series of innocent laughter and desired filled passion, it actually came across a peculiar combination of sorrow and solitude. While most of the visitors come in pairs or in groups, this particular one came alone. All alone with but a single suitcase that held necessary clothing, there was about 3 books she also placed on the coffee table of her temporary bedroom. But what poked its curiosity further was the picture frame she brought out and placed next to the empty pillow of her bed. It held a photo of a man, smiling brightly, his eyes twinkling from the sun's beams that probably interfered with the camera's flash. Within her 2 weeks stay, she sometimes hugged that picture frame crying her eyes out till she fell asleep. Most of the day she spent wandering the magnificent house, taking a tan by the beach and going for long swims or wasting away the evening in the wine cellar just feasting on the exotic winery. In those 2 weeks these walls wanted to know more, why did she come alone? Why was she filled with sorrow? and yet there was an unexplainable peace about how she held herself.

For many years they wondered about that one visitor until another fine day when she returned with a small child. The boy had similar hair color of the man in the photograph, as well as eyes that twinkled when she tickled him with laughter. This time though, she was happier, more accepting and this was probably the most memorable visit these walls has ever witnessed.

Writer's Note:

I have been struggling in finding the right -everything- for capturing this scene. This is Pandora Resort~Namaste's special suite which is available for rent for a day. Maybe you want to surprise your beloved on their birthday? Or maybe you just want to give your family a weekend vacation? this exotic escape corner within the exotic island is already furnished, so all you need is yourself and good company. 

Scarlet Creative has one of the most unique buildings in Second Life. It is hard to resist most of their creations. We used 3 builds that we fell in love with and that we thought was perfect for Pandora Resort. The color scheme had to be modded a little bit to make it blend all the more and this is the result, a private home, hidden in the outskirts of ruins and the sea. ;)

My Deer Guardian

Flickr Link~ Raw SL Shot, No Edit

What a calm cool breeze,
Silence could make you freeze,
Relax with me for a little while,
Your watch keeps traveling a mile,
Oh deer guardian remains always,
But I'm not the focus of his gaze...

He lurks beneath the shade,
A peaceful haven he made,
Keeping us all in protective land,
All through his eager stand,
Oh deer protector look at me,
For once I wish he'd see...

The herd remains stiff and strong,
He's the reason we survived this long,
Fighting the predators to the end,
His will could never be bend,
Oh deer soldier in the midst of war,
I will still love you from a far...

There was a change in the air,
Feelings that we secretly share,
He waited for so long,
Just to sing me his precious song,
Oh deer love finally,
Together with me be free...

Writer's Note:
When I saw the advertisement for those deers at Fameshed, the first person I thought of was Bambi. I so knew they were meant to be lurking around Oh Deer Island <3 I went today to check if she placed them around without asking her and behold, I found them! Of course, this gave me an instant inspiration to find a way to snap them in her little autumn heaven. The deers are made by Jian and available at November 2017 Fameshed round!

P.S. I hope the poem did not make anyone cringe!

Revelation

Flickr Link~Raw SL Shot, No Edit

"It's impossible!" She exclaimed, face hidden behind a thick book, "No one has ever found the entrance." she huffed and shook her head. "We've been looking for years and you're telling me that you've been there?!" she questioned, her face has appeared into view and I could see the conflicted expression, rush of emotion that was quite shown to my gaze. Her eyes told me something else, it was a mixed feeling of doubt, jealousy and yet, relief. I remained silent for a moment, taking in all the explosive energy that her final question as built within the small study room. "Well?" she pressed on, there was a change in her look, almost as if she wished I was bluffing or I just had one of those dreams that seemed like reality. I admit that there are times I do not know the difference only after time has settled. I sighed heavily, plopping down on one of the sofas while turning my gaze away from her. "I..." I started on then sighed again, "It's hard to explain, this time it felt real, much real than anything I have ever experienced..." I murmured.

Silence prevailed but I could hear her silent sigh of relief, as if my lack of proof has given her all the answer she needed to assume that it was just another one of my wild dream conquests. The cushion of her chair made that familiar sound which indicated she sat back down, pages of her thick book was heard and I just couldn't find it in myself to turn and look at her again. Of course she didn't believe me... But I think if I could go back there, if I was given another chance to peek I could possibly find more answers. I closed my eyes just to relive that memory, the little that was left with me on my short visit.

It was thick with fog that seemed to not hold one particular color or texture. The more I stared the more I seemed to forget about things that mattered. It made me realize the fog was not normal. How can a million glass pieces remain shattered and frozen over time? As I looked ahead there was a long route that led to darker places or perhaps just a never ending passage of broken shards of memories. I tried to walk along but something kept me in place, something that started to swirl around me creating a dynamite of light. It was at that moment I saw the entrance, the entrance we've been searching for in a long time now but as I went to reach for it... I woke up. That was the beginning and end of my revelation. For now.

Decor:

This set was designed by Lokhe. I just took a photo in it, as usual. He used the Madpea Asylum, some E.V.E Studio decor and Anc Ltd's glass shards and fog. Check out this photo he did on the same scene.

Attire:

I'm wearing a beautiful dress by Una called Sofia and it is soo flowy, big and dreamy! I wish it came in more colors but I can't complain on how 'princessy' it makes me feel. My Truth Hair called Ophelia is kind of noticeable too (I so wish Truth makes more dual toned hair! Pleaseee) and the Ear Accessory by Zaara. I wanted a sort of surreal princess look! 

Crossing Cultures

Flickr Link~ No Edit, Raw SL Snapshot

How vibrant her laughter echoed across the water gardens. Her agile figure dancing along the mossy vine decorated temples and with every step she took the sound of her jewelry clinging against her skin just brought more melody into the air. Like a hurricane she zoomed along the sand, rushed into the ocean and caressed nature with her gentle heart. A myth whispered her name everywhere she touched for she was the guardian of the island, keeper of warmth, protector of the lush wildlife and the companion of the ocean. 

One day, her island began to shake heavily. Multiple shocks brought cracks through the earth, caused the great temple to crumble and many animals to flee for their lives. Heavy rains attacked the island and a darkness engulfed the brightness of her delicate reign. That did not keep her from breathing life to her island over and over, mending what she could and maintaining what was left. It silently broke her heart thinking of her lost friends and the lost vision of what was once a great island.

That was when he showed himself. He had been lurking in the shadows, cast away by his people due to his ideals. It has been told he was only a minion within the ocean, a soldier to the goddess of the sea and yet here he was conquering everything in his path with darkness. Being a rebel was not part of his plan, but he felt there was more to his life than being withheld from his full ability. He found himself drawn to her courage, her zeal to keep bringing life and this is what saved him from losing himself in his grief. The dragon of the sea pledged himself to be a protector to the guardian. Together they brought back peace and together they made the island grow, adding more soul to what it already was.

Many years later, visitors to the island have claimed to see a local woman, with a dragon hovering around her, hissing at anyone who tried to approach her. It was a strange cross culture.

Writer's Note:

Pandora Resort ~ Namaste is now open to the public. We had a great opening party with many friends who enjoyed the day in good music and dance. We welcome everyone to enjoy the sim and make plenty of memories. We have few rentals available and some have already been rented for those who would like to make Pandora Resort your home. 

The dream weaver poured his heart out once again and brought another unique design, the Resort is an exotic island just off the coast to India. It is filled with imprints of history, warmth, lush wildlife and plenty of secret spots. 

Do share your photos to our flickr group and check out our website. We also have a facebook page where we share updates and flickr photos from time to time to mirror our in world group.
