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. ;)

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. ;)

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.

Time for a Bedtime Story

Flickr Link~ No Edit, Raw SL Snapshot

It was all in her head, that is what they always said. But, she begs to differ for every night when the clock strikes twelve, they come out demanding a bedtime story. It became a routine she was looking forward to every evening. A strange girl she was, attracted to old trinkets, old books and the dark arts. Her family did all they could to 'cure' her, sent her to the best doctors, even confined her for a year at the best hospital. The doctors and nurses whispered of her antics, how she never failed to get out of bed to narrate a bedtime story. They could not see anyone, only she could see them, only she understood them. 

As she grew up and independent, she managed to be more discreet in her storytime moments. Eventually, she was away from the chains that bounded her, free to live alone and free to conduct more open bedtime stories. They slowly became her children, each one of them with an equally peculiar story. Perhaps you will hear about them some other time. ;)

Le Six Event opened its doors today, after months of preparation it is finally launched! If you haven't heard of this event, it is a new concept event that is free for designers with certain rules that need to be followed (Of course ;)) It was developed by Natacha Haroldsen and Yeiyaiel, owners of Knick Knacks and Le Sixieme Sens sim. The october round is looking great, there are various designers from decor, outfits and poses so please check the October Shopping Guide and VISIT the event!

Let me talk about the few designers I featured in this photo; Knick Knacks made this comfortable sofa and the carpet. The Silas Gallery made these awesome scary monsters, as much as I wanted to put them all in the photo, it was going to be damn crowded so I only selected a few. If you look closely towards the armrest of the sofa, there is a cute dolly with a french hat (>.> I should google what it is called, right?) the little doll is actually not really little, I resized him so he blended into the story picture nicely, he is created by Serenity Style and there is a hold and rez version. Finally, this amazing photobox is by D.U.S.T, I was so excited seeing the preview, there is another one with white balloons that I am sure I will use in future photo idea endeavors.

Bauhaus Movement- Verlain Set, Monocle & Necklace
Ilse Pinklady Nails- Passion

The dress I am wearing is by by Clef de Peau, I love the puffy sleeves and overall comfortable yet classy style of this dress. A monocle was something that always made me feel all steampunk or old fashioned, I always intended to get one but never got around to it, I am so happy Bauhaus Movement made one and they also included a necklace that is equally unique in its design, I know in my photo it is not seen properly so I added a close up version so the item can be seen clearly in all its glamour and high quality!

My nail polish in this second photo is my Ilse Pinklady, it is part of her passion set that I adore and mostly always use when I wear white.

Designers who are interested in applying can apply for November round here.

Don't Forget Us

Flickr Link~ No Edit, Raw SL Snapshot

He left her, that one left her too, but they would never leave her. History repeats once again, another man enters her life and she forgets them. They know she'll return, she is one of them and always will be. There can never be a perfect union. By now she ought to realize she can only attract the damned. Happily ever after will never be the ending of her story.

That doesn't stop her from falling in love over and over again only to see the true destiny that awaits. Perhaps she is addicted to the feeling of both love and pain, the stages that always brings her from euphoria to despair. Her sisters are always there for her, guiding her through the unbreakable bond they have. Maybe all she is going through is a punishment for forgetting about them.

One fine day she was done, it was enough suffering for she was certain she found the one that she could not let go off. To escape was a dream for many years she had been dreaming off. Her biggest mistake was not learning that they foresee everything. It was time anyways for her to join them. Droplets of blood everywhere marked the fight for love but it was never enough. She will forever be the bride without the groom.

Writer's Note

Knick Knacks came out with these awesome chairs for The Liaison Collaborative. They are really beautifully textured and have that Victorian, vintage and antique feeling. I wanted to showcase all the chairs and this is the best I came up with. These dolls will always be my favorite cute and creepy ones. I grew up being afraid of Chuky the doll from Child's Play so anything with a doll is considered creepy for me. I love clowns better...
