Sakura - Spring's hope - Fantasy Faire 2015

In IchiGo IchiE the sakura were in full bloom. The delicate flowers appearing from bare wood heralding the start of spring, of life's miraculous return from the depths of winter sleep. Méi awoke with the flowers, her long slumber at an end. 

The world inhaled, the chill of the air warming with each passing day. The spirits of spring and rebirth unfurled as she moved, hopping at first from branch to branch, running along swaying twigs with a sure step. Méi would not fall. Her own wings would keep her aloft, those and those of her companions surrounding her would carry her from bough to bough.
  Bringing life and beauty to the world was never easy, there was always a struggle. As her steps brought buds from the bark of the trees she considered this, as she did each year. These blooms were life, they were beauty, they were ephemeral. They were joy to all who saw them, they called for enjoyment, for delight in life as long as it lasts. Méi flew among the trees, bringing life for life's enjoyment. Each flower a bloom for the future, made possible by the growth of the past.
Two posts in one day... I know - testament to my lack of organisation. 

This post was planned, but the message it contains reached a new level of personal this morning as I was writing, thanks to another post, and conversations in our second life. So this one is for Ursula.

The Fantasy Faire in 2015 has so far raised L$ 6,268,699  That's $ 25,075! All for Relay for Life - The American Cancer Society. The more money raised, the more research, the faster new techniques and treatments are developed, the faster we find a cure. 

So go - the Fairelands will fade back into the mists for another year at the end of today. Enjoy the Sims. Bump into the talented and generous creators. Complete the hunt and be so covered in prizes you won't see daylight for a week. Hit up the donation kiosks. Cover bail for those characters locked up by the Pawlice. Shop shop shop! The Relay for Life vendors are clearly marked, all the L$ going to RFL.

Light in the Darkness - Fantasy Faire 2015

Sunbeams filtered down through the lush green canopy, warming the woodland carpet of mosses and ferns. These daylight hours were precious, the woods around the settlement friendly and welcoming, she could walk for hours along pathways, through glades, away from the work of the town. Away from needlework, away from the soot blackened range, away from the cares of totting up household accounts. Sylvia came here, as so many others did while the sun shone, to enjoy the quiet, to relax and enjoy her freedom.

All with a care for their own safety left the woods before sundown...

Sylvia had reasons to linger through the twilight, staying in the woods past sunset, past moonrise. Her safety mattered of course, but much less to her than her freedom. She had some during the day, but that freedom was held in check. In the moonlight she could run swift as any deer, her antlers brushing leaves and twigs aside. Those in the town feared what lurked in the darkness, she sought it out. Bow and arrows in hand she followed traces and tracks, hunting down the malevolence wherever it tried to hide. Through thicket and in the depths of gorges she would search, always her aim, to keep her freedom, and allow others theirs.

This is it! The mists have lifted, revealing the Fantasy Faire 2015! 

If there is one event you go to this year - take my advice, make this it. Thirteen outstandingly beautiful SIMs, the very best designers in SL, all with one aim. Relay for Life. 

Cancer affects so many people, every single step towards ending this disease for good is worthwhile. At the Fantasy Faire, you can help in this fight. Each creator has vendors with the proceeds going direct to Relay for Life. 

These amazing people are so generous with their talent - be generous with your L$, raise money for this most worthwhile of causes - and get some excellent stuff! It's all win!
