The new girl has arrived at Flambois Academy of Magic and she’s already causing trouble. She has a black eye to show for it, but her opponent came off worse, meaning they got the blame and punishment for the fight.
She pours over the books in the library when anyone’s around, but the feet go up as promptly as they’ve left. It’s not that she’s a slacker, she just has inherited natural power, there’s just not much the books can teach her. Her problem is theory and lore tests, so she learns as much of that parrot-fashion to scrape through, she was admitted on the strengths of her practical skill after all.
Emerging from her forest homeland she enters the Oasis town to find it eerily empty, quiet of the hustle and bustle she might have found here normally. She wanders here and there, the stores still open and full of wares for purchase, but no customers as yet. No doubt they will arrive and shower the merchants with coin in the the near future. She hopes a merchant may show themselves, because she’s in need of somethig to cover up from the brighter sun than the shadows of the forest.

The mermaid loved to swim near the city where the path had been damaged. The magic that had held it in place above the water persisted, so the pieces were suspended in mid-fall below the waters surface. The glow of magic reflected so beautifully through the water it made for a lovely swim.
No-one is quite sure any more what caused the path to break, it must have been a considerable impact to be stronger than the magic, but then the path was only intended for the passage of humans and other land-dwellers. The common speculation is that a visiting giant had tried to cross, given the scale of a statue on the shore. Giants had not been seen in these parts of the Fairelands within living memory and the Fey lived very long lives.

Yesterday evening was a Roleplay storytelling session by The Children of Stories as part of their annual adventure. I copied down a couple of the stories to give a taster of their talents.
The Roleplay this year features a gathering of children from previous years stories that have all been mysteriously summoned to Flambois, collectively known as The Gathered and you can read more at the link below:
We gathered then as we gather now, to share stories. Strifeclaw told us about the greed of the Bard King, and the Unweaver’s evil. Dogstar told us about the Mouse and the Knight, a boy who was transformed so he could defeat a powerful Knight.
Some of us knew the legend of the Mouse treasure, but dismissed it as mythical, but with Dogstar’s tale, we were freshly motivated to find it!
[12:25:57] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): The finding of it is a tale unto itself, but find it we did and broke the seal of greed with help from the charity of the gathered peoples of the Fairelands. I’m leaving out a lot of details here, to keep this tale brief.
[12:26:37] Dean Ravencrest (DeanRavencrest): yeh basicly Dogstars stories are probly relevant to whats happening [12:26:44] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): Next we passed through a mirror to the Spring of Souls, to face the Death Knight. The same evil knight the mouse boy defeated.
The Knight was weary of undeath and lamented the evil choices he had made in life, but would not surrender his sword to us without a challenge. Again this deserves a tale all its own, but in the end we defeated the Death Knight and his army of wraiths and captured his sword.
[12:27:28] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): We had a little run in with Morkus Dreg and the Pawlice, but… ahem… let’s not dwell on that.
[12:28:01] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): There was a journey to another of the Fairelands, an encounter with some annoying ravens, made all the more annoying since Ravens and Magpies are kin. There was a green dragon of corruption that proved to be an illusion of the Bard King’s doing.
[12:28:46] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): Finally, with the artifacts of all four elements gathered, we placed them in position to breach the final seal. But again, we needed the assistance of the people of the Fairelands, whose combined charity and compassion powered the runes to finally break the seal.
[12:29:18] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): The treasure we uncovered was not gold or silver, but rather a sickly boy, the long lost Guardian of Fire. Trapped deep underground, surrounded by water, he was on the verge of death.
12:29:55] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson) leans into the next part
12:30:14] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): He died just after we got him out of the chamber, but even as we were comprehending the tragedy, something astounding happened.
His body erupted in flames and floated into the air. Before our eyes, Cale was transformed from the wasted body of a sickly child to an Immortal Phoenix!
[12:30:29] Tepic Harlequin: blimey! [12:30:31] Fen (Fenrue): \o/ [12:30:34] Brinley Taliesin (BrinleyTaliesin): golly [12:30:37] Feilong Natas (NatasIfris): hmm phoenix boys are cute too [12:30:37] Star Porter (StarPorter): Ohhhhhhh, Cale! Wow! [12:30:41] Strifeclaw (Strifeclaws) blinks [12:30:49] Feilong Natas (NatasIfris): phoenix even better than every treasure [12:30:56] Dean Ravencrest (DeanRavencrest): yeh it was pretty gobsmaking if I’m honest
12:31:01] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): And that is how we Magpies, every one of us thieves, learned that some treasures are more valuable than gold.
[12:31:10] Trodden S. Miles (Trodden Miles) nods [12:31:15] Kie Heartsong: nods in approval
[12:31:18] Ðæmøn (Daemon Davidson): But gold is still shiny, just sayin’
[12:48:01] NettleLarke: You all can call me Rabbit, if you like, and I’ve a story to tell. Some may find it intriguing, some may miss the point, and some may find their own meaning in it. I’m still trying to puzzle out the meaning of it myself. Who wants to hear it?
12:49:31] NettleLarke: Alright then! Be warned…..it involves dark places and dark things, but only just. Or maybe they’re the very center of it! It depends on what you see in it.
[12:51:14] NettleLarke pulls a ball from her pocket and begins rolling it in her hands as she speaks. “Once upon a time, a long time ago when the stars were young and the world was new….that’s how you begin a tale, isn’t it? Once upon a time, a long time ago when the stars were young and the world was new….a creature dwelt in the bowels of the world, of all worlds. She was a creature of many names, but today, I will call her by the name I know her: Hastele of the Dark Waters….”
[12:53:25] NettleLarke: “Nearly as old as creation, Hastele has power beyond imagining, the power to change, the power of chaos, the power to, one day, possible unmake all things and start them anew, or so the tales say.. But we all know how reliable tales are….
But as a thing with power, true power, over the centuries many came to her seeking favors, trying to make deals. “My brother is ill and we haven’t the means to heal him, perhaps you can?”” Rabbit continues, the ball ever in motion, seeming still in the air as her hands move around it. “And often she would oblige, in her own way. Heal the brother while inflicting similar disease on the supplicant, perhaps, or healing them by giving them a new body, that of a great stag, so he might bound off into the woods and be hunted.”
[12:54:02] NettleLarke: Hastele was cruel in her gifts, is cruel in them.
But then one day…..
….one boy approached here in the deep places. A strange lad, tall and wiry, and mischievous and dark.
[12:54:28] NettleLarke: “What do you seek?” she asked him.
“A great favor” he replied.
12:54:47] NettleLarke: “Indeed? Greater than a kingdom?”
“Yes, greater than a kingdom.”
“Greater than wealth, than power, than glory?”
“Greater than all those things.”
[12:55:52] NettleLarke: “And at this, Hastele leaned forward, intrigued.
“Greater than godhood itself?”
“Greater than that” the boy replied.”
12:56:16] NettleLarke: And the deep-dweller, she of the dark waters considered this for some time, unable to imagine what this upstart could possibly be asking for.
“Ask it.”
[12:57:22] NettleLarke: “And the boy answered “I ask….for your friendship.”
12:58:46] NettleLarke: And Hastele, dark thing for dark waters, dweller of the shadows, thought this over for a time and slowly, for the first time in creation, she smiled a smile, not of malice, not of irony, but a true smile…..and she granted it.
[12:58:59] NettleLarke bobs a curtsey and wheels, stepping away.
Standing guard on the street corner she tries to get used to the weight of the swords. She’s trained with them, she’s competent in using them, but wearing them for an extened period of time? Her hips were getting sore. She draws them and gives them a twirl, she’s not meant to draw them unless she’s actually going to use them, but she needs to ease the weight for a moment. How did she end up here? She always thought she’d end up going to the House of Testament, she liked books and history! But oh no, no such luck. When she came of age she took the Test and it said Strife! So she’d done the training, got the House protective tattoos and gear. She really shouldn’t complain, being responsibilbe for the citizens safety was something to be proud of, but why did the swords have to be so damn heavy!
Before the Faire opened, I created a range of outfits based around the descriptions provided by the World Builders. Some of these I interpreted ok, but others I got totally wrong! Here at Giggenwhirl I interpreted “With hinged wing they flap and propeller they swirl..” as some kind of robots or something steampunk…nope! Come visit and you’ll see what it actually refers to.
Anyway this whimsical little outfit I put together for Woo Hoo Bay seems to fit right in here instead.
The dress HUD allows for a few levels of transparency of the dress and the thong underneath.
There was a note in the box saying “wear as bare as you dare” but this is Fantasy Faire, so I had to stick to the PG options. All the items featured are in the merchants 100% Donation vendors, meaning that all the money from that transaction goes to the American Cancer Society.

Fantasy Faire 2023 is open! After what seemed like an Age the Fairelands have revealed themselves from the Mists once again. Since the opening of the Faire is at Noon (SLT) when the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, I thought a lovely set of Tattoos called “Sun” seemed very appropriate! This set of tattoos can be worn as Full body or in individual parts, the face having options for both EvoX and Classic heads. I twinned it with the skimpiest thing I could find in the Blogger room to show as much of it as possible.
You can get into the Faire from Fairelands Junction. (Direct store slurls will be added when availale)

All around the World there are Second Life Creators beavering away, they have a Deadline. In just under 7 days, Fantasy Faire 2023 will open to the public.
They’re making last minute tweaks, taking product photos, packaging stuff up and of course not panicking.
The room in which you see me and my little flaming friend here is the Fantasy Faire Blogger Room. Right now it’s very quiet, but in a few days, all those boxes on the walls will begin to be filled with all those Creators hard work. That’s so that I and (getting on for nearly 100) other bloggers can show you all the wonderful stuff they’ve made in aid of Relay For Life.
Which is of course to entice you all come to the Faire and buy it all!
Fantasy Faire is the highlight of the Second Life calendar for me and many involved with it. It runs this year from 20th April til 7th May and is a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society.

For anyone wondering, I wasn’t given any special early access to the Blogger room. It’s just always in the same place (outside the Fairelands) and I still have the Landmark from previous years.
Today the long-awaited SciFi Expo opened it’s doors to the public. It covers four regions adjacent to the American Cancer Society regions. The stores are arranged around the edge of a circular space station, all along one side making shopping so much easier! Remember it’s a chatity event, in aid of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, so don’t be tight with those Lindens!
Yesterday I was able to take a sneak peek at what they had to offer you all and put this outfit together to show you some of it.
The 2022 SciFi Expo is bringing the science fiction community together to benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and the American Cancer Society in Second Life. From Friday, October 14 to Sunday, October 23 come join us on a Voyage Through The Stars, featuring the biggest sci fi designers and shops, live performances, roleplaying events, and so much more, as the community comes together to support finding a cure.

Every year the Faire features a Quest. This is usually part treasure hunt, part mystery, part puzzle and of course a lot of fun. (with a bit of head-scratching frustration along the way.)
This year I actually completed it, for the first time. Now I’m sure there were plenty of people that didn’t try it, so for those that didn’t; I did it a Second time so I could take pictures to show you all. I know there’s lots of pictures floating around of the treasure chamber, but there’s a lot more to the Quest than that.
The first task is to find “Cheeky” at the entrance to the Clouded Mountains.
After a quick chat it’s off to see the Bard Queen
Her task for us it to track down a number of animal residents of the Clouded Mountains that have come down into the Fairelands. There were three in each participating region of the Faire and which one would respond positively to a particular avatar was somewhat random.
AArkenfen
[12:06:46] forest cat: "So the Bard Queen sent you?" A guarded smile crosses the forest cat's face. "Well then, perhaps I can trust you. I've heard good things about her."
[12:07:06] forest cat: "Nicely done," the forest cat says. "So now I'm going to rely on you. Please deliver this to the Clouded Mountains."
[12:07:07] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The forest cat has given you: Alembic of Zosimos
[12:07:11] forest cat: This tool I'm giving you — it has to get back to the Clouded Mountains, to our wisest alchemists. They sent some of us out to find these special tools for them, the best in all the many realms. They didn't tell us why, only that it was very important. But when I tried to get back home, there were these… I don't know… war creatures? They were huge, and cruel — they shot at me! They were all around the mountains. I couldn't get through. So I have to depend on you. You look strong enough to get past them. You'll help me, I know.
Atheneum
[12:16:22] gray fox: The gray fox looks at you suspiciously. "Did you say something to me?"
[12:16:31] gray fox: A smile crosses the gray fox's face. "Looks like you're my best chance to get this home. Treat it carefully!"
Bassett Town
[12:21:14] cat: "8,347…8,348…8,349... what? Oh, now you’ve made me lose count! Go bother somebody else!" The cat sighs. "1…2…3…"
Some of the animals were rather unhelpful, so there’s a Hint button on the HUD to help you find the other animals from the Clouded Montains in that region.
Hints:
[12:23:24] The Dreaming Cat HUD:
1. Making a bed in a wagon bed.
2. Under the willow, checking out the horses.
3. Ahh... a cool drink on a dusty day.
[12:24:45] stoat: The stoat regards you coolly. "I might need some help but how do I know you're the right person?"
[12:25:16] stoat: The stoat sighs. "Nice to find a friend so far from home. I can't get back there, but you must, and carry this with you."
[12:25:16] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The stoat has given you: Lutum made of clay from the banks of the River of Eternity
Brocell
[12:28:05] stoat: The stoat looks hopeful. "I could really use some help, if you're truly a friend."
[12:28:17] stoat: The stoat looks resolved. "Thanks for that. Now take this to the alchemists at home for me — you musn't fail."
[12:28:17] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The stoat has given you: Copper-forged Kerotakis
Carnelian Archives
[12:31:49] rabbit: "You've come all this way to help me?" The rabbit pauses. "That says a lot."
[12:31:57] rabbit: "Thank you," the rabbit says. "I think I can trust you now. They're waiting for this tool at home, take it and good luck."
[12:31:57] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The rabbit has given you: Bronze-bound Tribikos
[12:32:02] rabbit: I'm going to trust you to carry this tool back to the Clouded Mountains — they say it's vital for something or other. I tried to get home with it but there were barricades everywhere, and very unpleasant outlanders waving big weapons around. Oh, it's some kerfuffle or other, no doubt, but it shouldn't affect us folk in the mountains. Surely the Dreaming Cat will prevent any serious harm. He's always looking out for us — kept us safe for years now, and will for years to come, I'd bet my left foot. But for now, you're an outlander, you'll be able to get through. When you get to the mountains, just tell them Bengen sent you.
Chrysalis Gardens
12:40:35] red panda: "You've come all this way to help me?" The red panda pauses. "That says a lot."
[12:40:40] red panda: Do you have anything else to offer?
[12:40:43] red panda: Sorry, that’s not my sort of thing.
[12:40:46] red panda: The red panda's expression changes. "Maybe you're alright after all."
[12:40:46] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The red panda has given you: Balneum of Maria Prophetissima.
Doriath
12:46:22] duck: "So the Bard Queen sent you?" A guarded smile crosses the duck's face. "Well then, perhaps I can trust you. I've heard good things about her."
[12:46:33] duck: The duck looks hopeful. "I am going to trust you — lives are on the line."
[12:46:33] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The duck has given you: Firesilk Bellows
Effervescent Clefs
[12:48:29] The Dreaming Cat HUD: You feel a nibble. A small sea creature peers at you.
"The Bard Queen asked me to keep an eye out in case you ventured to this realm.
It's beautiful, but none of the mountain residents have come here."
Gaalthyr
[12:52:19] flamingo: The flamingo regards you coolly. "I might need some help but how do I know you're the right person?"
12:52:52] flamingo: A wave of longing passes over the flamingo. "That reminds me so much of home. So… you'll take this there for me?"
Hunros Mines
[12:57:35] barn owl: The barn owl looks hopeful. "I could really use some help, if you're truly a friend."
[12:57:48] barn owl: The barn owl looks resolved. "Thanks for that. Now take this to the alchemists at home for me — you musn't fail."
[12:57:49] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The barn owl has given you: Avicenna’s Tongs
Irredescent Keys
The Hint messages also helpfully told you if none of the animals were in the region.
[13:00:28] The Dreaming Cat HUD: You feel a nibble. A small sea creature peers at you.
"The Bard Queen asked me to keep an eye out in case you ventured to this realm.
It's beautiful, but none of the mountain residents have come here."
Living Echoes
[13:03:20] red panda: The red panda looks at you suspiciously. "Did you say something to me?"
[13:03:24] red panda: Thank you, that’s very kind, but I’m not really in the mood right now.
[13:03:28] red panda: The red panda looks hopeful. "I am going to trust you — lives are on the line."
[13:03:32] red panda: I tried my best to get past those cursed outlanders. I can be very quiet and sly when I want to — just look at me, you can see that, right? But I couldn't do it. I think it was because this tool was rattling around and making noise. Yes, that had to be it. Anyway, I'm going to rely on you to deliver it. Take it to the alchemists of the Clouded Mountains, it's important to them, and maybe now I can see why. Something dangerous is going on, clearly. But I'll bet those big brave outlanders haven't reckoned on getting past the Dreaming Cat. I can hardly wait to see them try!
Mythspire Ridge
[13:48:30] raccoon: The raccoon looks hopeful. "I could really use some help, if you're truly a friend."
[13:48:36] raccoon: "Thank you," the raccoon says. "I think I can trust you now. They're waiting for this tool at home, take it and good luck."
Necrim Moon
[13:25:40] flamingo: The flamingo looks at you suspiciously. "Did you say something to me?"
[13:25:44] flamingo: "Nicely done," the flamingo says. "So now I'm going to rely on you. Please deliver this to the Clouded Mountains."
Opet
[13:31:12] black rabbit: "You've come all this way to help me?" The black rabbit pauses. "That says a lot."
[13:31:21] black rabbit: A wave of longing passes over the black rabbit. "That reminds me so much of home. So… you'll take this there for me?"
[13:31:21] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The black rabbit has given you: Scales of Siddhar Tamil
Sylvuselah
[13:36:18] red panda: "So the Bard Queen sent you?" A guarded smile crosses the red panda's face. "Well then, perhaps I can trust you. I've heard good things about her."
[13:36:26] red panda: The red panda sighs. "Nice to find a friend so far from home. I can't get back there, but you must, and carry this with you."
[13:36:26] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The red panda has given you: Thaumaturgic Fuel
Tenpyo
[13:45:20] forest cat: The forest cat regards you coolly. "I might need some help but how do I know you're the right person?"
[13:45:44] forest cat: The forest cat looks resolved. "Thanks for that. Now take this to the alchemists at home for me — you musn't fail."
[13:45:44] The Dreaming Cat HUD: The forest cat has given you: Eversweet Bees
Once you visited all the regions and collected their goodies, it was time to go see the Bard Queen again.
Our next task was to return all the tools and items that the animals had given us to three alchemists in the Clouded Mountains.
The Alchemists
Ortolanus
[13:56:07] Ortolanus: Greetings, Outlander, I am Ortolanus. I sent our countryfolk to the outside realms to find the tools I need. I will take from you the Alembic of Zosimos, the Cucurbit of Wei Boyang, some Lutum made of clay from the banks of the River of Eternity, the Copper-forged Kerotakis, and the Bronze-bound Tribikos. They are the finest tools of their kind. With them, I can begin to distill the potions and substances needed to heal the damage already caused to our country and its folk.
[13:56:19] Ortolanus: By now, you understand that our land is under siege. But our situation has become even more dire. The evil forces that surround us have done what we thought could never be done. They have found a way to harm the Dreaming Cat — they have poisoned his Well of Dreams. And now the Cat is lost in his dream, it is all darkness and terror, and he can no longer find his way. His power is drained and will drain further still. If that happens, the evil ones will drown our mountains in fire. Each creature here will die, and all our work will be lost.
[13:56:31] Ortolanus: Please, it is vital that you take the remaining tools to the other alchemists who need them. In parting, this is the deepest wisdom I can provide. It is an ancient alchemical precept; you will find it applies to things you may not expect:
"One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth."
Go now with all speed, Outlander, and thank you.
2. Valmiki
[14:00:13] Valmiki: Thank you, Outlander. My name is Valmiki. I see my countryfolk chose well when they selected you to bring these tools to us. I will take from you the Balneum of Maria Prophetissima, the Lead-crystal Beaker, the Flask of Agathodaemon, Ibn Umayl’s Retort, and a hive of Eversweet Bees. They are all the finest of their kind. With them, I can transmute elemental substances to try to protect and defend our land and citizens.
[14:00:25] Valmiki: My work is crucial, because our great protector, the Dreaming Cat, cannot come to our aid now. His dream is poisoned and he has lost his way. If this continues, his loss will be permanent, and a great disaster will befall us. Word has reached us that our enemy — whom we have never harmed — will set fire to our forest and destroy us all. We cannot understand such anger and hatred. We understand only that it may well be our fate if the Cat cannot be restored.
[14:00:37] Valmiki: Now, please take the remaining tools to our wisest alchemist, Theosebeia. She is waiting to see you. I will leave you with this ancient knowledge, the wisest I can provide. You may find it useful:
"Join a thing with its opposite, and you will find what is sought."
Cat's blessing on you, Outlander. Go well.
3. Theosebeia
14:04:14] Cheeky: This looks familiar — the alchemist's place is around here somewhere. I know because it's not far from some fantastic berry bushes.
[14:05:00] Theosebeia: Thank you, Outlander. I am Theosebia, the eldest of our land's alchemists. I will take from you the Crucible of Salamandria, the Firesilk Bellows, Avicenna’s Tongs, the Scales of Siddhar Tamil, and the Thaumaturgic Fuel. They are the finest tools of their kind. With them, I can begin to refine the metals and materials to protect and defend our land and citizens.
[14:05:12] Theosebeia: We in the mountains are not used to relying on outsiders for our needs — but we have come to that point now. You see, although we understand what has happened to the Dreaming Cat, we cannot help him. We are of this realm; if we try to enter the Cat's dream, we too would be lost.
[14:05:24] Theosebeia: So while it is true that we need these tools you brought, the real reason we sent our fellows to the outside world was to find an outlander with the strength and determination to enter the dream and save our land.
We sent them to find you.
And you have come. As an outlander, you can go into the Cat's dream and survive. You can purify the Well, so the Cat can regain his power. If you would be our hero and our friend, you alone can prevent our absolute ruin.
Theosebeia: To be that hero — to accept the task — go to the west of our realm and find a cluster of three huts beside a rocky beach, at the foot of a waterfall. Follow the coast to the north, and look for a stone arch. That is the entrance you seek. This potion will allow you entry.
Theosebeia: Good luck, friend, go speedily and well!
The Entrance
The Cats Dream..
This was a dark space that you had to navigate by a lot of blundering into walls and none of the usual tricks of showing transparent items gave you any clues.
The Well Room
Tempting…. but we had a puzzle or two to solve before we can proceed!
The symbols all started Red and turned Yellow when you had found and clicked each mirrored oppositte.
[14:15:56] The Well of Dreams--: Cheeky's whiskers twitch. "Remember what the alchemist said? 'Join a thing with its opposite, and you will find what is sought?' Hmm, I wonder...."
Clicking two symbols that were mirrors of each other at different points around the circle of stone pillars made a triangle linking some together. Also a fireball appeared next to each stone.
14:21:25] The Well of Dreams--: Cheeky's paw pats your shoulder. "Well done! Now, what did that other alchemist say? Something about one becomes two?"
Looking at the ring of fireballs from above, you could see that some had one on the opposite side of the circle, others did not. So I clicked each fireball that had an opposite one, they turned purple as I did (if you clicked the wrong ones, they just all went orange again).
When I clicked the remaining orange fires as well..that was it!
The Well became purified and I was teleported to a corridor leading to the treasure chamber of the Dreaming Cat.
Also about then you would have received a few inventory offers…enough that they become scrollable across the width of the screen!
Thankyou to all those that contributed to the creation of this years Quest, it was a lovely story and lots of fun and to those that donated prizes too.
