Muse Goat Who Ran

Author: Lanaia June 2005. This is a roleplay poem within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

Scared to bits Hair standing on end, This little animal Was ready to bend.

Muse Goat was hungry So she ate Lanaia's dress, Lanaia was so angry She liked Muse Goat less and less.

Muse Goat who ran With Lanaia at her heels, No more part of Lanaia's Will be one of her meals!

A New Primogen, A New Era

Author: LeLoc June 2003. This is a roleplay story within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

Vini is now primogen. It has been voted upon and the kindred of Oceana think that Vini is right for the position. I am happy for him, and I hope he will do a better job than our previous leaders.

I came by to congratulate him, and Artic. Seems she was promoted to be the Primarch for Oceana. This is good, as she is one of the Council that really does her job. And a job well done.

Here's hoping that Oceana will grow as the new era for us begins.

Nervous

Author: LeLoc June 2003. This is a roleplay story within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

Still the anticipation builds. I still have no idea when our new Primogen will be announced. It was supposedly today. I was somewhat nervous when I stepped into the hall. I checked the clan board, but no word yet. I even whispered to the clan my feelings of nervousness. Artic replied back, and said that it's even a worse feeling when you're Council. Hehe, I guess she was right about that. I'm glad that I'm not in her or other Council's shoes. Yet. I left the clan hall, still not knowing who our new Primogen will be. I should always tell myself to be patient.

Primogen-less

Author: LeLoc June 2003. This is a roleplay story within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

Something was amiss among the kindred. Nothing was right at all. I have seen hushed conversations here and there, and some of them looked either confused, angry or just nonchalant. Rumors spread like wildfire: was it true our Sea Priestess is no longer with us?

An emergency clan meeting was called today. I had to make sure that the rumors were true.

One by one, kindred came from around the kingdoms to gather for this meeting. Our Primarch, Vini, was sombre and looked troubled. The other council members stood beside him, with the same quiet restlessness. The crowd wasn't as big, so I was able to get a good seat to hear of all that's been going on.

Vini reported that it was true that Jayme, our Sea Priestess, has been banned from the kingdoms. She will no longer be our Primogeness. Thus, our clan is left without a leader. Vini is currently talking to the Archon Themis in how to go about assigning a new primogen in our clan. A lot of people were convinced that Vini was the perfect candidate. Why not? It seemed that he was, due to the fact that he was the Primarch and second-in-command after Jayme. He was reluctant to accept the position, as it would seem unfair to other people's opinions about him, good or bad. He wanted a fair vote for a primogen, requiring all of the kindred to place a vote for one of any council member.

I just stood there, contemplating the situation. It seems that this clan is slowly digressing, but I could see in the eyes of the council members the dignity and commitment they hold for the clan. I pushed away the thought of leaving the clan, because I still had hope for this family.

So, I now come to face what I think is a democratic push for the clan. Vote for a new primogen. Only time will tell on what is in store for me and the clan.

Achievement

Author: LeLoc May 2003. This is a roleplay story within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds.

What a day! I never realized what was going to happen today.

I was walking about in the hall when I decided to check out the Oceana board. Ah, I discovered there was going to be another play! I never got a chance to go to the first one, as I wasn't part of the family then. I read through the script, and I couldn't help but smile. I was debating on whether to join the cast. I did a post on it, but then deleted it, and THEN reposted. I'm indecisive, because I didn't know if I could make it nor did I think I was good enough. I guess we'll have to see this Friday. -crosses fingers-

After that bit, I heard Sarina of the Diviners sage for an event. I checked out the Community Events board and saw that it was a Divination readings for all who participate. Again, I was indecisive to participate, because I didn't think I was good enough. But, since my nightmares started back up again, I finally decided to go.

When I got there, I saw one of my Clan kindred, Kahni. I thought she was the perfect Diviner I can approach about my problem. I told her my story:

“I have been having nightmares as of late, and every time, I wake up in a cold sweat and start out screaming. My family, you see, were poor. We hardly had anything to eat, nor had we any coins to scrape up. Because of this, I had grown up ambitious, to become rich and never live hungry ever again. As a result, I had become greedy, harsh and cruel. I had left my family behind, leaving them still in poverty. I never helped them. Pretty soon, they have all perished, died, and still in poverty. My nightmares consist of these visions, and my family call out to me, asking for help. But I couldn't, because I was bound by thorns. And I couldn't speak, because my mouth was bound by vines. Can you tell me what this means?”

Kahni lit a flame to a wick and the flame turned blue. I sat there, mesmerized at the flame. She began:  “Where is your family?”

“They are all gone, except for my new one: my wife and children.”  I replied.

“I think,” she began, “that this dream of yours might be a sign. A sign that tells you that what happened to the past is the present. Perhaps it was guilt that gave you these nightmares. You care for your family now so much or you wouldn't come seeking for my help.”  She smiled. “Your family is now more important to you than money. You must protect them and love them as you do now.”

“I see.” I pondered. “Then that must be the answer.”

“After this enlightenment, you shouldn't have anymore nightmares.” Kahni smiled.

“Thank you, m'lady.”  I bowed and wandered off.

((I stayed awhile, as they were giving out prizes on the best roleplaying reading. Kahni chose me as her winner, and thus proceded to give me a legend mark: Fortune revealed by Kahni . I was grateful. She also asked me what Trigram key I wanted. I asked for Earth. She sent me the key later on.))

As I said. Quite a day today. I hope to do more for the next time.

A New Family

Author: LeLoc April 2003. This is a roleplay story within the MMORPG game called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds. This is the acceptance of membership for the clan Oceana.

I have been contacted tonight by Sadira. She wanted me to meet her in Kugnae so she could summon me. I have recently sent her a parchment of joining her clan, Oceana. She summoned me once I reached Kugnae, and I was transported to the lovely hall of Oceana.

I was amazed. I didn't think I would be chosen. Yet, she just smiled at me and asked me a few questions and what I knew about Oceana. I answered with all honesty and confidence, because I knew all about Oceana and its beginnings. She then asked me what a family is about...

“Family? I never had one that I remembered. I did, but I pushed it at the back of my mind, to erase the painful memories of my past. I will tell you more of that when I am ready.”

I held back tears, and told her what I wanted in a family: a family is a group of people who respect you, and love you for who you are, and are by your side no matter what. She smiled, as if she was pleased at what she heard.

“Would you like Oceana to be your family?” she asked, after I finished.

“Yes, I would.” I said, with uncertainty on where this was going to end up.

“Then I welcome you to Oceana. This place is not only a clan, but it is of family. Caring for another member...”  as she started welcoming me into the clan, I was in awe. I had never thought to be part of another family...but as she welcomed me into the hall, all the clan whispered welcome to me, and I felt glad in my heart. This is my new family now...I'm grateful to be in it.
