Go With The Flow... Flower With The Drow!

Irrolin eyl’Zebeyriina was a powerful Drow magician and a priestess, the pride of her mother and her entire family. She was tall and slender, she moved with fluid grace, she was perfectly trained in the art of warfare… but her most dangerous weapons were her bright intelligence and her ability to cast arcane spells and curses with the lethal, smooth swiftness of an arrow shot from the crossbow of a seasoned warrior.

Yet, it is written that even the best may be bested. One day Irrolin engaged in a magical duel with an unknown Drow and, despite the legendary ability of her race to resist hexes and jinxes, she felt rather weird after the duel was concluded. She annihilated her enemy... but why was he smiling so oddly while he was slowly turning into grey dust and black pebbles? Irrolin got her answer the following morning, when her mother started shrieking after the first glance cast upon her daughter, and her family promptly banished her from their splendid residence in the Underworld.

She was covered in flowers... terrible, disgusting, colourful, smelly, sticky, living things from the Upperworld! So Irrolin spent the rest of her long, long life in an Upperworld forest, she bred big, poisonous spiders for a living, and everybody who just hinted at her being a “flowery Drow” found themselves turned into a toad or – when Irrolin was in a particularly foul mood - something definitely worse... like a potted geranium.

The “Wear Gray for a Day” event has entered its second week. While many SL residents already prepare for the forthcoming Fantasy Faire and there are so many other shopping events still running, please find some time to hop over to the Wear Gray sim and leave a few Lindens in order to assist research into brain tumour diagnosis, treatment and care. I also thought brain tumour only happened to „others” until a friend was diagnosed with it… happily married, mother of a baby boy, at the age of 32.

Divine Blues

She used to be a member of the Sapphire Tribe, she remembered that very well. Many, many aeons before her world had been vivid, happy and busy… she could hear the voices of men and women and children every evening she climbed up on top of the Tower, in order to taste a bit of everyday life before she had to commence night service, as usual. She had been taken from her family in order to serve the Goddess at the tender age of a hundred and fifty years… oh yes, she still remembered the excruciating pain. Her mother and siblings had been inconsolable… or so she thought, as she hadn’t talked to them any more. Rubbing shoulders with „ordinary” folk wasn’t permitted to the Selected One. 

She was carefully educated by the Elders, and after five hundred years of apprenticeship she was allowed to raise the Moon all alone for the first time. She still got goosebumps at the memory of that very special night. Then… something went wrong. Slowly, yet without any doubt whatsoever. At first, she noticed that the evening buzz and humming and chattering of the city became weaker day by day. People just disappeared from the streets, the murmuring sounds seemed to grow dimmer, and dimmer yet. Then, one evening… all she could hear from the Tower was silence. 

She was shocked… but she remembered she had taken a solemn oath to serve the Goddess and raise the Moon each and every night, until Death decided to come for her. She was alone, her only company were the memories and the ghosts of the past, yet she climbed up on top of the Tower, and silently whispered an ancient prayer before she touched the chilly globe. „Raise, Moon, and spread your rays... I shall always be here to welcome you when your duty is done.”
