Just For Fun - Story!

September Pixie

Well.. This forum is too quiet for my liking.. so :) Lets make a story (which should help us learn to read the cards).. I will start.. and you can add to it with your own cards :) Be as funny, crazy, scary, sad, or glad with it as you like :) You can use as many or as little cards as you like :)

------------------- ONCE UPON A TIME -------------------

Sylvanius' was ready for change in her life.. she went seeking the two fairies that could help her.. The Lady of the Harvest & the Faeries of the Future.. The Lady of the Harvest advised her to start fresh.. seasons of past were clouding her and that she needed to start fresh.. while the Fairies of the Future explained that soon she would be gifted with a child, The Maiden .. The Maiden would then bring a fresh new start in her life.. She of the Cruagh's illuminating, fertile light broke forth within Sylvanius, as the child, Ekstasis, came to be, She to be the Seed of Change.

Ekstasis' red wings spread across the womb that became her home as the spirit of the Bright Mother reached down to hold Sylvanius' hand, ushering her through the pains of Childbirth. Beyond the pain of birth would lie a new mindfulness, a new state of being, a new personal identity to embrace. The time to nurture someone other than herself had begun. Though Sylvanius had no idea what the future held for her.. She knew she needed to seek shelter for herself and her wee one.. she sought out the UnDressing of a Salad faeries and begged them to take her in.. Once inside their sheltering tree abode, she met Arval Parrot .. She became ever engrossed in the rich conversations.. he was speaking of all the talents Ekstasis held.. Though Ekstasis is still young.. some day she would need to leave her loving mother's side.. and Arval Parrot told her that when that time comes.. she should seek out Spirit Dancer.. Because....

Spirit Dancer had a gift to share, a gift of knowledge. It was handed down to her by her father, The Sage. Spirit dancer was often legend to have many contacts on the other side, that she could easily walk among the dead and come back again. Her father named her spirit dancer b/c of her rare and special gift. The sage is the father of time, or father of seasons, his son is Himself, he is a younger version of The sage. While spirit dancer spends her time consulting the dead, himself spends his time frolicing around nature. Arval the Parrot had made the suggestion of Eskastasis to go under the care of spirit dancer because Spirit Dancer will teach her how to better use her natural energy in directing and focusing it. No doubt will Eskastasis meet the rest of the family, The Sage and Himself. Arval the Parrot was speaking, and spinned on his heels while rubbing his chin with his finger and thumb while in thought, speaking out loud his thoughts "Yes, in fact, speaking of which, we must tell Eskastasis not to fall in love with Himself, for he belongs to no one, and will take no lover. My goodnesses dear, we shant have her heart broken, no, that would be tradgic." He then thought of what he was saying and gazed with a soft gentle smile back to Sylvanius who was holding the tender babe wrapped in a blanket. "No Arval", as she peered down at Eskastasis "Her heart will be protected by truth, it is my gift to her." Arval already knew what kind of life lay ahead of Eskastasis. He smiled and asked Sylvanius if she would like another cup of tea. She replied....

I would love one, and would you please sit down. I have something to confess to you. Arval returned with tea, gave Sylvanius her cup and watched her hide her fidgetting as she cleared her throat. With eyes cast down, she said "Arval, the Topsy Turvets have been at play in all of this." Confused, but never left without words Arval replied "What are you saying child?". Sylvanius looked Arval directly in the eyes, and gave him an ironic smile, then tenderly gazed at Ekstasis and said "Himself is her father." Arval gasped in amazement.. I.. I... he stuttered, I never would have thought that... Just then the baby started to cry as it grew hungry. Sylvanius put the babe to her breast and let her feed while still speaking with Arval. Arval still stunned by the shocking news, thought deeply about this indeed. He seemed to be distant for a minute and then remembered himself and his company and smiled politely to Sylvanius as she fed her babe. He began to speak again ..."By the way, has the dark lady been to see the new babe? I haven't seen her around as of late. Have you heard word from Solus? He left on a journey with the journey man sometime ago. Said that he was looking for....he was um, looking for...oh dear, what did he say he was looking for...??? Have you heard from either my dear? He smiled to her as she looked up from her babe and she replied "no, on both questions. Quite frankly, I don't believe Eskastasis to be old enough to visit with the dark lady yet, do you? And that explains why Solus has been gone for so long." Sylvanius smiled really big as she remembered something. "oh dear, Arval" she said with a laugh "Do you remember that time when the Journey Man escorted Losgunna, and they brought back Flaff the Flotter? Oh i remember when he first came to live with us in our village here. Always telling people how to take care of their feet, or that their walking to much. And the Collective of pixies tripped him all up, with the help of that Gnome that hides in the meadows. Oh that was sooo funny" as she laughs and laughs thinking back on it. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Are you expecting any others right now Arval?" Arval replied "as a matter of fact, no i'm not."

Arval rises from the table and opens the front door. Who should be standing on his door step; it was none other then....

September Pixie was utilizing a command available here to change the color of the text, as it appears on the screen.

However, this option is not popular, as many users have difficulty reading the lower contrasts that other colors create against the AT background.

But, it is not due to your computer, smokey, or any kind of "density" I assure you! :D

September Pixie, if you wish, you can edit your post to the default color (white) to assist smokey in reading the post. :)
 

September Pixie

Should be a little easier to read now.
