The Daughter of the Depths and the Fallen Hedgehogs

There were many things that the sea-dwellers did for entertainment, many things that amused the daughters of the depths. There were races along the moon bridge, dancing with dolphins, weaving corals into new shapes, teaching whale whelps to sing. Many things that made them laugh, but surely this one had to be among the best.

“Faster paws, brave land critters, faster paws.” She tried not to laugh, watching the paws more used to dry ground splash furiously in the gently enchanted buoying water. “No nipping at your friend, Scourge of the Seas. Swimming first, terrorizing later. Every sharkling knows this.”

She had met ground creatures before, but usually they were lost and panicked in the sea, needing help to get back home. Not these two. They had played in the water fearlessly and introduced themselves as Fallen Hedgehogs. There had been some explanation about a contest that she did not fully understand, but she did not care. The tiny spiky ground creatures were delightful and she was more than happy to help them in their doomed attempt to become mer overnight. Surely stranger things had happened.

The Fallen Hedgehogs are of course wishing to participate in Fallen God & Goddess Contest 2017. This year brings the Decennial, the celebration for the ten years of Fallen Gods Inc. in Second Life. The market, the hunt and the celebration week of events will take place in October, but the contest is open already. Simply take a picture of yourself wearing a Fallen Gods Inc. skin and send it full perm to Sonya Marmurek before Friday 6th October, 11 PM SLT. Even if you would not win any of the prizes, you are guaranteed the exclusive skin that is given to all the participants and cannot be gained by any other means, so don’t miss out! More contest details here.

True Colours

There’s always something new in the world. Always something surprising, something enchanting, something that makes you smile. A flicker of a fin, a composition of colours, a splash that turns to a current.

Bubbles become small stars, every fish is a mermaid in disguise, water is really just air you forgot how to breathe. World is made of magic, wrapped in mystery.

It is challenging to see everything clearly, to see the true colours. We have become used to seeing what we expect to see, often in palettes of greys. It takes strength to close your eyes, take a deep breath of air or water and open your eyes to see the magic.

It takes great courage to leave the grey behind and to embrace the colours, great courage to splash along in the currents of magic that is life and be happy.
