The Beginning Karen Torbiak 2000 Her auburn hair is blown gently around her face by a caressing breeze that kisses her body with its warmth She has traveled far from the world of man locked in their never ending battle for that of a material world Her spirit has called her to this place where magic and the mystical still survive though kept hidden from the eyes of men She has prepared herself and is dressed in the ancient color that tells all here she is of the old blood Turquoise is her gown that flows down her body in soft waves of the lightest material Around her neck is a chain of the purest white gold that catches the sun sending sparkles of brilliance as she walks through the wood Suspended on the chain is a crystal also of turquoise that has been pasted down in her family to the women from the beginning of time This crystal has been held in wait until one of her family was born who had the old ways sing in her blood Having been raised by her wise grandmother she has been taught that she might be ready for this day when she would be called She is the first in her line born in a thousand year to bear the mark of destiny High on her right shoulder is the tiny shape of a perfect red rose set in a star Her name also reflects who she is and the power that is waiting to be released Rose Star known to man as Rose for they have long lost the memories from before the time of their dusty books She has left behind the steel and concrete of a man made world and now stands in wait for the one she knows will prepare her for the finale battle to save love Her spirit is renewed as it draws strength from her surroundings She waits patiently for all to be revealed with senses alert she looks around and smiles for her soul has dreamed of this time A new sound fills her ears sounding like the cascading of a waterfall but her heightened senses tell her that it comes from above Looking up she is taken aback for even though she knows much she is not prepared for the sight that meets her eyes With air flowing over gigantic wings creating sound to drown out all others descends a majestic Dragon like nothing she could imagine As she gazes in total awe her eyes drink in every detail of this ancient and wise beast The sun reflects in brilliance off deep golden scales covering a body gigantic in size being like that of a small house Close enough for her to see now she marvels at eyes filled With a myriad of colors and flashing with the knowledge of times now lost His head of such large proportions as to make her shiver with a touch of fear seems to show the sheer joy and passion he takes in his flight She holds herself steady as she prepares for him to land right in front of her and is surprised as he settles with amazing gentleness to the ground Her senses start to tingle as her eyes flow with undisguised greed over the body of this magical creature The gasp she cannot hide vibrates in this silent setting as her eyes alight on he who sits astride this golden dragon His dark hair is cut short and his body tanned and muscled as one would expect of a warrior Bare except for what appears to be leather leggings Rose feels a flush light her cheeks as her eyes drink in the sight of him He sits with quiet patience a smile of understanding on a face that tells her he knows what she is thinking Rose see that his eyes twinkle with suppressed laughter and finds herself relaxing in response to eyes that hold no threat Something stirs within her soul that has been long withheld when she lived in the world of man Dreams and visions filled with love and desires flood into her mind bringing memories of love touched again and again throughout all time Looking deep into his eyes her heart begins to beat and her soul to reach out to touch as she realizes this is THE BEGINNING Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

This is an enchanting tale, worthy of a short story...do you write prose as well? I loved the attention to detail. Well done, startime! |

KokoStewartKoomoa Thank you so much. I am very glad you like this little tale. I love to weave little stories with my writing. Much love to you from me. Serenity How I love your name. I use that word so much in many of my writings. It is so very wrapped in love. Thank you for your wonderful comment. I am still trying to figure out what prose is. I guess with my work being so long a lot of the time it seems more like prose. I can actually do short work but I love it best when I am lost in visions like this one. Much love to you from me. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |
