The Secrets of Fae Magic

“Let me tell you a secret,” the lavender fae whispered. “Let me tell you how we fae fly.” She paused, taking to air without as much as a flicker of her petal-covered wings. “The wings have nothing to do with it. Not anymore.”

“We fae can draw in ambient energies of imagination, we breathe it in, sense it in our surroundings like sunlight on skin. Just like daystar warms us, imagination and inspiration give us power.”

“We channel it and transform it into magic of another kind, of lights and music, of flight and sparkles, and most importantly; we channel it into dance. We laugh, dance, fly, live. They are the same.”

There’s no better place to learn to fly and dance than the Fairelands. Fantasy Faire invites you to indulge and experiment with transformations, with magic of inspiration and imagination.

Dream and Play

We play. There is no night and day down in the depths, there’s just awake and asleep, dream and play. 

Sometimes we leap higher with our friends and companions, leap higher and witness the strange lands of the two-tailed people with their clumsy movements and strange sounds. 

Sometimes when the awake time up above gets really warm and the surface waters caress every motion like a lover, we approach the land to marvel at the beauty such clumsy creatures manage to conjure. Such halls, such statues!

My favourite spot is one of the stone-shaped hippocampi, a friendly creature whose spirit is slumbering in silence. I can feel him through the stone, basking in the sun. Perhaps one day he’ll awaken, rise up and leap back into the waters to play with us.

Perhaps one day the clumsy two-tailed creatures will do the same. Perhaps one day they’ll learn to breathe properly and join us. Perhaps one day we’ll play. Until then we will just visit: their lands, their halls, their statues and their dreams.

Fallen Gods Inc. released the new mer-people to frolic in the seas of the Fairelands: Oceanica skins come with a bunch of appliers, a fancy swirly-coloured mermaid tail that combines mesh and flexi and a mer outfit. The necklaces are a free gift right under the info board in the Fallen Gods Inc. Faire-store in Odyssey. You can also find mer poses by Musa from the same sim and the Yo Bailo poses in Wildehaven Marsh.

The unique double crown by Bliensen + MaiTai is from the last year’s Silent Auction and works as a reminder to go and check what there’s available this year! Silent Auction takes place in the Fairelands Junction, is already running (although more will be still added) and lasts until Saturday 5PM SLT. At that time the auctions close and the highest bidders win their items.

We Dance Together

We dance together, light and dark. We court each other: reach, shy away, approach, embrace.

We define ourselves through each other, through our existence as opposites, as complementing elements.

Different. Opposite. Contrasting. Puzzle pieces fitting together, forming a complete picture.

In the weave of our movements the magic of colours is born, in those spaces and energies between us they flicker and glow.

We dance together, light and dark. The eternal balance of creation, the balance of life.

The light and dark nymphs have been conjured up by Fallen Gods Inc. You can still find Lumina’s two versions, Eclipse and Firefly, in a gacha at Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Go try your luck!

The Return of the Faire

“Greetings, mortal. It is time. It has taken us more than twelve cycles of your moon to return, but the Fairelands are finally back in your realm.”

“The journey back to this plane is always perilous; fraught with chaotic magic and unseen dangers, tests of nature and strength. Tests of perseverance and faith.” 

“Sometimes we lose things on the way: treasures, people, even whole lands. The re-formation takes its toll, all of the magic channeled into new shapes, every land taking on a new visage.”

 “When we make it, when the lands rise anew like the phoenix, when the portals finally open for us to meet again: it has all been worth it. For we are the Faire Folk, and we have returned.”

Fantasy Faire has just opened its portals into the Fairelands! Prepare to move in for eleven days of roleplay, shopping, entertainment and absolute astonishment at the beauty of the lands. The hair by Analog Dog, the outfit by The Muses, the shoes by De La Soul and the crown and collar by . a i s l i n g . are all available there. Analog Dog can be found in Heavenslough, The Muses and De La Soul in Mourningvale Thicket  and . a i s l i n g . in Hope’s Horizon.

Miss Flake and the Lost Little Bunling

“You see, Miss Flake, the last night’s snowfall was really rather heavy and we think you might have overdone yourself just a dash. Our young’un hopped out to play, but we lost sight of ‘im, because of the white fur and snow and all that, you understand. I said to Pinknose, I said to her, why don’t we talk to Miss Flake. She’s a sensible kind of snow fairy, she is. She’ll help us.”

“Of course I’ll help, Mr. Pokepaw. It is sort of my fault, after all. I danced slightly longer than I was supposed to, but it was just such a perfect weather for it and there was no breeze at all and all the crystals and I- …um. I mean, I’ll go and start searching right away, why won’t I.”

“Mr. Hoowing, any sign of- oh, still naptime. I’m sorry I woke you. Yes, have you seen a tiny white ball of fluff in the snow. Why are you looking at me like that? Oh fine, sure, go back to sleep, I’ll find him on my own!”

“Mr. Yapnose! That bun better still be- oh, but he is. All swaddled cosily, too. What, you were carrying him around with that for safety? No, I’m afraid you can’t keep him, his family is dreadfully worried. Come on then, give the bunny to me. No shifty looks or snarly mutterings!”

“Yesyes, he’s fine. The fox said he was too cute to kill, it’s a great thing you have going there. Now you keep an eye on him better and I’ll promise to dance lighter snowfalls from now on. No more flaking!”

The Frost petite is a new release from Fallen Gods Inc., the lost little bunling is a pocket pet by .Birdy. from a gacha at Chapter Four and Mr. Hoowing and Yapnose are from a gacha at Beetlebones. The bunny family is of course from Happy Mood.

Frost Flowers

They bloom only in the cold, in the frost that makes every inhale a shock to warm human bodies, every exhale a cloud in the air. They cover the black branches, they decorate every window, they blanket the evergreens, they turn every shape into a piece of art. They cover the white with sparkles, creating a world made out of diamonds.

What humans don’t usually know is that the said sparkles are all they can see from the frost flowers dancing. Around and around and around, spinning wildly of joy, more and more of their companions falling down to join them.

What they also don’t know — cannot see, cannot hear — are the ancient singing stones playing the melody for the dance. Wings flutter to the rhythm, feet never truly touch the ground, but leave frost sparks in their wake. The sway of the white hair creates a soft breeze that only playfully toussles the fallen snow.

Every sparkle is made out of the most precious substance winter creates: light. Every little starlet fallen on the ground holds the promise of more of it returning. Soon.

The skin by Fallen Gods Inc., wings by c( Two Cats ) and the scenery by Cerridwen’s Cauldron can all be purchased on discount in the new round of We Love Roleplay that just started today.

The Dance of Sparks

The dance of energy, the sparks between objects, the gravitation toward some, the repulse from others, so like synapses flaring to life.

No words, no definitions, no limitations. Reach out, pull back, slide, glide: dance. Feel. Live.

All the power you could ever need is in your fingertips: not out of reach, never out of reach, within you to find and discover, for you to free to flow.

The final frontier is not a distant future, imagined possibility. It is in you for you to face, explore and learn. For you to dance in.

The Psychic skin by Fallen Gods Inc. is currently on discount in We Love Roleplay. The petals that I used as modesty meteor pieces are a new main store release by Zibska.

Day and Night

Blessed Sun, Bringer of Warmth, Governess of Growth, Ruler of Day. Give us energy to exist, to change, to move, to live. Bring fire to our endeavors, warmth to our homes, bravery to our steps forward. Allow your heat to kindle ours, your rays to light our world, your radiance to enlighten our thoughts.

Blessed Moon, Bringer of Peace, Caller of Dreams, Ruler of Night. Give us serenity to balance our daily struggles, visions to guide our paths, silence to soothe our souls. Allow us to see ourselves in your reflection, to glimpse our true-selves through you for just like your Sister is too bright to gaze upon, we can perceive ourselves only in our dream-selves.

That is our nature, divided between two heavenly bodies. Some favor one sister above the other, but we all need them both. Every day, every night, or we are lost.

The Shining Sun gowns by The Muses can be purchased in the current round of We Love Roleplay.

Liberty of Mind

What would happen if you’d truly free your mind? Open up all the cages of preconception, pull back the dark coils of public opinion, release all the tentative ponderings free to fly.

Would they surprise you, your own thoughts, your own preferences and opinions? Would you like them, understand them, comprehend yourself better? Would you see eye to eye or struggle to accept yourself?

There is only one way to find out: lure them out from their hiding, remove the excuse covers you had piled up on them, break all the dimmed windows walling them in and let them fly free.

One thought at a time.

Anjul eyeshadow by Zibska is available at the Cosmetics Fair, the eyes by Adoness are from the Body Modification Expo and the Agrona outfit by Zibska is a new release.

Correctional Clockwork

“For today’s interview we are approaching one of the famous Correctional Clockworks that keep the peace in the Spiral. Miss- …hm. Do you use titles at all, how should I address you?”

“Correctional Clockwork of Observation, Guidance and Parameter Control.”

“That’s quite a mouthful. Let’s talk about what you do: you are pretty much both the police and the military forces of the Spiral, correct?”

“Guard. Threats from the outside. Correct. Mistakes on the inside. Keep the Spiral turning. Fix malfunctions of the society.”

“Malfunctions such as…?”

“Disturbances in the flow of how things are scribed. Remove blocks. Keep gears turning.”

“Is it true that your dolphin companion has tesla beams installed to its eye sockets?”

“Dolphin has longer reach of correction.”

“Of course, of course. What about the rumour that you have red boots because it hides the blood when you um, stomp on these malfunctions?”

“The boots are red.”

“Quite right, quite right. Very red. I… shall go and …flow now. Let you… fly and observe things. Good day!”

It’s a good thing that nothing was burned in the last night’s party and the shopping continues and flows as normal today at A Clockwork Spiral! Read more about it here and catch the airship to the event here. The hat and mask by [ContraptioN], the top by Pale Empress, pants by Greymoon, hair by Discord Designs, cane by InSpired Designs, wings by Unrepentant and the steampowered dolphin (it doesn’t really have tesla beams in its eyes, alas) by Oceania Breedables are all available there.
