Morla Phlint - from the Shadows into the Light
« on: August 08, 2007, 02:18:20 pm »
"Hello, known and unknown friends!

I have been wandering among you for some time sharing your food and drink, your fears, wishes, everyday problems. And I think it's high time to grab the chance and introduce myself here officially. Stop being just a shadow and come into the light of the Azure Sun. Excuse me if I don't express myself properly. I'm not used to talk about myself in front of so many people", the young Enkidukai looks around smiling.

"I wasn't born in Yliakum. I came here when my home city was burnt by the Unknown. Back in that time I was a child but I still remember the horror of the others. I see them running back and forth in panic. And then silence fell over the streets like fog. The Unknown were coming bringing with them darkness and pain. Soundless pain, more torturing than any other because you can't do anything to feel a relief, not even scream... I was standing there feeling the pain of the dying tremble in the silence", a shiver runs through the body of the lady. She swallows with difficulty trying to control but her face loses its peaceful shine. She's looking down to the ground so nobody can see her eyes. "Then my father suddenly caught my hand. We started running. Where to didn't matter... just...just away from this city of death", Morla pauses for a moment. "My father saw the pterofix. We climbed on its back and that was our rescue. As we looked at the city, there was all fire and smoke... My father said: 'There is a place where you will be safe. But it's far away.'"

Morla sighs. "I don't remember much about the time of travel. When I grew up, I was told my father had died in the Stone Labyrinths. A guard had found me and brought me to Ojaveda" The lady looks at Herah and smiles. "Then I was living in a village near Oja. One day I was sent to the city to sell some vegetables. It was the day I met Herah. My life changed. She showed me being a servant girl isn't the one possible way for me in life. As I was sitting by the fire in Herah's utlic, she looked at me and said: 'You are not the first who is sitting on this carpet looking forward to a new life'. That was the start. Since that moment I believed that I can really change my life. And I began to lose my fear. Bit by bit." Morla smiles again, her eyes closed. She seems to be lost somewhere far away, in her dreams or maybe in the future. She nods at the listeners and walks off.

No offense but if i was one of the people in the crowd i would have walked away.The story was to usual and predictable.But you can type and have good sentence structure.So my advice....Keep trying.
If I stand on the axis of the world will you mind if I say that the world revolves around me ?

About your signature -- I remember a proverb (or "aphorismus") famous in german:

Quote
Impossible things get done immediately, miracles will take a little longer.

Unmögliches wird sofort erledigt, Wunder dauern etwas länger.

 :) I have actually tried to translate an old yoga saying but you are right that there are proverbs with the same meaning all over the world.  ;)
