Nomadic Desert Warrior

It's that time again, the magical beings of Second Life are heading in one direction, heading towards the ethereal meeting place that is the Midnight Order. Normally the Midnight Order is hidden in the dark mysts, only appearing a few times a year for the magical spirits to stock up on things for their potions, contact those they need and learn the secrets that are whispered in the shadows... Midnight Order is a place to meet, greet and learn, that's why they come from miles around... 

Each of the people heading for the Midnight Order is different, the mixture of characters and their origin stories is as mystical as the event itself... Hence why they come from across the distance to be there... From the snow regions, from the stars and even across the driest of deserts, stopping in the oasis for the night to be fresh for the doors of the Midnight Order to open on the morrow...

Chronos Aeterna and her Hexaclaws

 I'm sticking with the magic and heading into another fantasy realm today, one where the sands of time are bringing on the darkest of notions, luring in the spirits of death in preparation for next month's creepy events... 
The magical spirits cannot contain their excitment...The preparations are going smoothly... Magic is being gathered, prepared and protected... There are spooky sensations in the air...

In the Dark Arena temple of Chronos Aeterna - an outfit set by MoonAmore, at Engine Room - our little goddess of the hourglass sands consults the fates via the use of her Chronomancer's Astrolabe - from Quills & Curiosities - and prepares to spread more sand by cutting into the hourglasses with the Robin Daggers of time... The escaping of the hourglass sands is always a lure for the Hexclaw Felines - a gorgeously magical kitty release from Aardvark for Engine Room - these beasts are feasting on the magic that drifts in the air, a warning for the people that death is on it's way...

Camping at the Sea Wall

It's been a VERY long, busy, crazy few days and I am more than able to admit that I'm knackered on the verge of passing into a deep sleep that would make even Sleeping Beauty feel like I'm a deep sleeper... 
I think that once my boss gets back from her vacation, I am going to have to a much needed few days off so that I can spend at least one recharging my batteries. I think that a few days out of town might be nice, maybe camping in the woods, or on the beach perhaps...

I'm going to spend some time on the beach I think, I'll rent myself a little camper to take a few days a the beach. Parking against the Seawall - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and setting up my little camping ground, I'll release the dogs and fire up the BBQ... It's time for some bangers on the barbie!!!

Cacti in the Greenhouse

I was asked to come back to work a day earlier than planned today, and the reason has had me shaken to the core... My work bestie has been diagnosed with breast cancer, I'm scared for her and now too my workload has automatically doubled. I don't care that I have to do the work, I just hope she gets through this and comes out with a smile on the other side...
This is making me feel a little bit prickly right now. I've become someone on edge, can't stand the thought of dealing with customers and really would rather be shut away somewhere that I can do pretty and lovely things till this ordeal is over for my friend... I'm so prickly, I'm almost cactus like... 

I think I might just do that for a while... Lock myself away in a warm sunny greenhouse - which would actually be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis an "Event Walkway" - however you know things with me are never fully as they seem... When I drifted off to that magical place, the magic over took me. Surrounded by a sumptuous collection of cacti, hidden amongst the plants, you might spot her, the fae that protects those spiky little blobs of green... 
The little Cactus Fae blends in perfectly, like the Desert Flower - a set from Forest Fantasy Store - and some super soft wings - from everfaery - and today she's brought in a new member of the fairy garden. A new Lil-Cacti - from Tardfish - that could really be called a Cat-cai!! Won't he look lovely in the Cacti Garden?!
