I admit it... I'm scared

[Tammy]

You are a strong and courageous woman. An inspiration.

You are soooo close to the finish line, congratulations!...and although I may not post often, you remain in my thoughts Zemirah 

[Rani Zemirah]

Thank you, Tammy. I wouldn't have made it even half this far if it weren't for the wonderful friends I've made here, though! They've kept me going when I all I wanted was to curl up and be done with it, and made me laugh through my tears, and even brought out the Goddess that was hidden inside!  LOL  The people here are wonderful, and they're the best medicine in world...

Tygrcat, I know you have so many things going on, and it doesn't matter how often you post, or not. I feel you there with me always, my friend! Thank you!!!

[Peddlin]

Hey Rani -

You have made it this far, so obviously, you can do anything! But we already knew that. And we also know that bacon is it's own food group!   

[Rani Zemirah]

Maybe not anything... but I'm feeling pretty strong right now, and I can definitely get through this! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Peddlin, it comes in handy when I start to doubt myself, and that will never do!!!

[Lord Clisto of York]

Now Rani, deep breathes I say. Innn.... Out....... Innn... Out... You have come a long way and are like a grand spell that has been cast. That sexy yet sinister smirk in your portrait tells it all. LOL.. I like it!! You are moving forward at elk speed. I see noting more then more of that mischievous smile in your future.

Lord Sir Clisto of York

Oh, my Lord Clisto, surely not sinister! At the time it contained nothing more than simple mischief... and perhaps a bit of invitation. Deep breaths are definitely good, and best when shared. Alas, all my breathing is done solo these days...

As for the stamina of Elk, why, I have no real choice in the matter, since any pause gives Mountain Lion the opportunity to catch up, and we know who wins in that altercation! My salvation lies in continuing to head for the tree line, though I am far ahead of the Wild Hunt and can no longer be caught!

I do believe you may be correct, though, and I also foresee more smiles in my future, particularly if you are in the general vicinity, m'Lord! Thank you for your so kind words (and for your token of favor bestowed...)!

[Lord Clisto of York]

I as all others here will be near and always in support through eyes of constant concern. We protect that treeline agains all matter of creature attempting harm your way. Be it known and written as such for all to take note. My vicinity is vast. You nae have to look far. We are all but a stones throw away by carrier pigeon if need be.

Lord Sir Clisto

[Rani Zemirah]

And secure do I feel as you all stand shield to me, in truth as though I be girded and armored for battle, and amidst all comrades in arms within the heart of the mightiest of Armies! Though to, do I feel the finest Lady protected by Knight Gallant, and attended Royally with all tenderness and grace. Gramercy, my Lord, for your protection and your kind regard. The gift of it will rest in my heart beside my regard for thee.

[Lord Clisto of York]

Tis all in duties hand and a colde as olde as knighthood itself. We here stand as one for thee and others. know this always...

[Rani Zemirah]

And I am humbled by that knowledge... and overflow with gratitude.

[Lord Clisto of York]

All is good in the realm then. Tis tyme to look to the stars and PARTY!!!

[Rani Zemirah]

I believe an special Fire Circle is in the offing quite soon, so please do check in with us in the clearing, since you were there for the First Fire, and would be missed sorely were you not with us for the next celestial observance.

And I do believe it will indeed be a party to remember!!!      And this time, I will claim my own Dance with you, Sir Knight, be ye willing!

[Lord Clisto of York]

T'wood be an honor to dance with thee. I shall try to return as oft as I can from other duties. I am gathering what information I can on the creatures you asked me to watch.

[Rani Zemirah]

Excellent efforts, m'Lord! Insidious are they all, and threaten the very existence of no few Faires with their chaotic and profane rituals! We will stem the tide, I am confident, and keep Faire as the sanctuary it has always been!

Perhaps you would trust to Dance the Flame with me, Sir Knight? As you shield me from danger from without, I may also shield you from the heat of the Sacred Flame, and it is an experience akin to no other... though not for the faint of heart!
