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. 

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.
