Daughter of Light

Gentle waves lap at the entrance of a small cove, separated from the rest of Paradise Isle and almost unknown. The setting sun lights the secluded area with a soft orange glow, and the scene is picturesque and calming. Startled, you see a woman that looks to be in her mid-twenties standing at the water's edge, leaning against the small cliff face. Her attention shifts immediately at your approach and her eyes glance your way. With an almost inaudible sigh of reluctance, she turns to face you directly. At first, she says nothing, then she brings herself to speak.

"Peaceful, isn't it?" she says, lightly joking. "This is where I come to get away from it all, to relax, far from the pressures and stress of my normal life." Cocking her brow into an expression of amusement, she continues. "This also is where I come to get some privacy. If you came across this by chance, speak only if it is important. If you were invited here," a small smile creeps into her features, "welcome."

Please note that you simply cannot possibly know what went on in prior posts. You are allowed to know of the most recent one if it's in the past week or so, but you can't assume about the others unless you ask her.

Relishing her capabilities in human form, she comes this way now.	Daughter of Light	18:28:09 03/05/02 Tue
She laughs, a sudden realization dawning on her. -- DOL, 19:47:09 03/06/02 Wed
A tall man wanders into the cove, clearly lost and deep in thought.	Steel Dream	13:36:32 01/16/02 Wed
She jumps at the voice and whirls around, one hand flying to her face to brush away a tear while she stares, groping for a response. -- Daughter of Light, 13:47:35 01/16/02 Wed His gaze turns to the woman beside her and a slight frown appears upon his face. -- Steel Dream, 13:58:01 01/16/02 Wed "I just recently found it," she says quietly, "and does work wonders to comfort me." -- Daughter of Light, 14:11:13 01/16/02 Wed The slightest, softest smile appears on his face as the powerfully-built man is guided by her gentle touch as easily as the waves shift the sand as the tide comes in. -- Steel Dream, 10:41:20 01/17/02 Thu Her eyes glow with a certain happiness, causing her mouth to curve up in a smile. -- Daughter of Light, 13:40:39 01/17/02 Thu He too hesitates a moment, then throws caution to the surf. "The world, really." (NT) -- Steel Dream, 13:36:43 01/18/02 Fri Her voice gentles noticeably and her grip on his arm relaxes but remains. "How?" (NT) -- DOL, 13:55:26 01/18/02 Fri He too unconsciously relaxes as she does, sighing softly. "I don't want to worry you." (NT) -- Steel Dream, 15:51:30 01/18/02 Fri She grins slightly, although she is still serious. "Try me." After a short pause, she continues. "Look, we can trade sob-stories or what not." (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 16:18:40 01/18/02 Fri He chuckles shyly, nervous at suddenly being taken into confidence by the one who had always seemed so far above him. But he takes the plunge, like a white bird into dark waters. -- Steel Dream, 17:00:41 01/18/02 Fri Compassion wells in her and spills into brown eyes. -- Daughter of Light, 18:01:30 01/18/02 Fri But what does not kill us... he thinks, never losing the almost unnerving, quiet smile. -- Steel Dream, 15:07:14 01/19/02 Sat She chuckles, "Luckily for us." -- Daughter of Light, 15:18:43 01/19/02 Sat He conceals a smile. "Certainly, Sue." (NT) -- Steel Dream, 15:24:01 01/19/02 Sat She raises an eyebrow in half-question, but decides to let it slide as one of the many "guy things" that she never understood. -- Daughter of Light, 15:27:49 01/19/02 Sat His wide brown eyes are drawn towards hers, almost of their own accord. -- Steel Dream, 15:42:11 01/19/02 Sat Sensing the lie immediately, she gives him a light, half-playful shove, although her face is concerned. -- Daughter of Light, 15:48:50 01/19/02 Sat "No, I don't think I can." His voice holds a different, slightly sadder tone but he smiles wryly. "I'm a terrible liar, aren't I?" (NT) -- Steel Dream, 08:25:22 01/20/02 Sun "Mmm," she muses lightly, "you'd probably be a better liar around people that you don't have a 'mental connection' with." She pauses for a moment, then speaks again slowly, as if deliberating over the thought. "Why can't you?" -- Daughter of Light, 08:37:23 01/20/02 Sun He looks slightly surprised; he had forgotten about that! "Yes, yes," he muses, "you're probably right." He chuckles self-consciously. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 09:30:12 01/20/02 Sun "You're avoiding my question," she says, pretending to be stern. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 09:31:17 01/20/02 Sun "Yes, yes," he says with mock seriousness, "I think I am." (NT) -- Steel Dream, 09:32:56 01/20/02 Sun She sighs in exasperation. "Do I need to bring a gryphon over here just to get an answer out of you?" (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 09:33:52 01/20/02 Sun He smiles with wild resignation, half-closing his eyes. "If you're going to insist..." -- Steel Dream, 09:51:47 01/20/02 Sun Her heart leaps and her mind rushes in bliss like a joyous school-girl. -- Daughter of Light, 09:55:27 01/20/02 Sun His eyes open fully, their wide, troubled brown filled with disbelief. -- Steel Dream, 10:43:32 01/20/02 Sun "Well," she says, smiling, "you may be pleased to know that the feeling is mutual." (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 10:52:17 01/20/02 Sun He sits, silent and truly speechless. He doesn't dare smile, or move, and barely breathes. -- Steel Dream, 16:01:08 01/20/02 Sun With a smile as radient as a lightbulb, she chooses to remain silent for a moment, surprised at how not shy she felt. -- Daughter of Light, 16:11:24 01/20/02 Sun His hesitance melts away in the warmth of her smile, and he echoes her expression as his heart pirouettes. -- Steel Dream, 12:54:34 01/21/02 Mon She glances down, faint color tinging her cheeks. -- Daughter of Light, 13:45:22 01/21/02 Mon He breathes a soft sigh, and it speaks volumes of a past life and concealed pains, but also of hope for a new one. -- Steel Dream, 05:48:19 01/22/02 Tue "I suppose," she says, sighing as well. -- Daughter of Light, 13:02:32 01/22/02 Tue He looks dismayed. "I'm sorry... I think we could stay just a little longer." He smiles querelously. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 13:44:21 01/22/02 Tue She smiles genuinely in response to his downturn of emotions. -- Daughter of Light, 18:11:38 01/22/02 Tue He chuckles meekly. "I'll try! I'm not that bad!" he protests. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 06:00:04 01/23/02 Wed She removes the smile from her face but cannot keep the merry glint from her eyes. "But of course you are," she says as if that was the most reasonable thing in the world. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 13:15:44 01/23/02 Wed (you know what's weird? yesterday I looked up "querulously" and then it was a vocabulary word in school today! that was soo weird!) (NT) -- Ashley, 17:48:59 01/23/02 Wed He smiles for no reason and offers an elbow. "So, shall we go then?" (NT) -- Steel Dream, 14:45:40 01/25/02 Fri Her expression turns somewhat mischievous without an obvious change in her features. -- Daughter of Light, 15:09:14 01/25/02 Fri He smiles back, squeezing her hand slowly and walking slowly. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 15:11:55 01/25/02 Fri Euphoria washes over her like the waves near them, and for a moment she decides it can't be true. -- Daughter of Light, 15:17:40 01/25/02 Fri He too laughs, breaking into a run. "Last one there is... the last one there!" (NT) -- Steel Dream, 05:53:47 01/26/02 Sat (I decided my last post was too much like the player and not how DOL would act) Jerked into motion by their connection, she quickly picks up the speed and runs beside him, ignoring the knowledge that he wasn't running quite as fast as he could. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 13:52:59 01/27/02 Sun He laughs warmly as they leave the cove at speed. This is like I never imagined it... (NT) -- Steel Dream, 13:55:56 01/27/02 Sun Giving an apologetic glance, she releases his hand and shifts back into her palomino self, then canters past him, tossing her head in laughter. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 14:01:09 01/27/02 Sun "Hey!" he shouts indignantly. "No fair!" With a human laugh, he becomes the powerful chestnut stallion, galloping in counterpoint to her triple-beat. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 14:03:31 01/27/02 Sun A shiver runs down her spine at the sight of the stallion, visible only as the rippling of her coat. Her stride flows smoothly into a gallop, her hooves pounding the sand in a rythmic blur of motion. (NT) -- DOL, 14:08:17 01/27/02 Sun He gazes at her golden form, moving with grace and elegant strength, and speeds up slightly. (NT) -- Steel Dream, 14:11:00 01/27/02 Sun
The normal palomino slides into her preferred human form and slides gently to the ground, her back resting against a rock face. (NT)	Daughter of Light	16:49:14 01/15/02 Tue
She sighs and lowers her head to rest in her hands, drawing her knees close. -- DOL, 18:04:56 01/15/02 Tue
She growls, muttering under her breath about idiotic stallions while shifting to horse form and walking grudgingly towards Forest of Shadows. "Idiot," she says under her breath, disgusted. (NT)	Daughter of Light	19:28:33 01/12/02 Sat
