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. ;)

Crossing Cultures

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.
