| Authoring A Story Together: To Mount Yoatlara | |
| By: Jella Date: June 24, 2014, 8:26 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Lets author a story together...shall we?! I will start the story | |
| with my character - Eloette. She will tell about herself in a | |
| few minutes here. I will tell you though that she is beginning a | |
| journey of discovery. Her family has been very protective and to | |
| the point where she can't stand it anymore...so, on her 23rd | |
| birthday...the day children typically are considered an adult in | |
| her place of origin...she plans on leaving...to where? She'll | |
| tell you...if she even knows! | |
| But first. Will you join this story and help write it? I have a | |
| question for you...do you know what I am going to do or say | |
| before I do or say it? Well, unless you are a mind reader...you | |
| can't...well, at least until you get to know me. This is real | |
| life...so just like in real life, I won't know what your | |
| character is going to do until....well, until I do! So, come on | |
| in and meet Eloette and let her meet you...and one another...and | |
| let's see where the journey goes. Ok?! => Please continue the | |
| story (in a new post - so hit reply) from where the last person | |
| left off. YOU decide where the story goes next. Will this story | |
| be a pure fantasy all the way...a space & alien story? Or one | |
| similar to the Hobbit? Or all of these...or something all | |
| together different. Who knows! :) Therefore, take and use the | |
| clues and what has already been presented...then go from there. | |
| If anyone would like to be 'Naima', you are welcome to it, then | |
| you would develop her character further in what ever way you | |
| think. | |
| (NOTE...during the forming of this story, and before you can do | |
| anything to kill, abuse, change or otherwise get rid of another | |
| character, you must contact the author of that character 1st to | |
| discuss and come to an agreement about what you have in | |
| mind...otherwise let each character respond to your interaction | |
| in whatever way they choose...thank you! [b]We need your unique | |
| perspective and creativity! Have fun! We also need a title!) | |
| [/b] | |
| Chapter One | |
| Dear Wordlog, I'm not sure who is listening to this, (except I | |
| do know who is NOT listening!) but my Naima is visiting for my | |
| birthday, and then I am leaving. I have to leave. I just have | |
| to. I also know that she will understand my 'ightzpla'.(word for | |
| 'problem' in my language.) She is coming all the way from | |
| Idingzha...which is two cycles away from here. She said she went | |
| through this very same thing when she was my age...so she will | |
| understand...I just know it!! | |
| Eloette logs off as she gazes out the window at one of the large | |
| Plumakingz that meandered into the yard and begins to | |
| pack...which includes about everything in her chest. As she | |
| opens it she gets a sudden whiff of her Naima's old house when | |
| she was a young girl and the memories of being there during the | |
| season of fire and water...as it was during those times that she | |
| truly felt free. | |
| Eloette remembers crawling into the chest and cuddling up to | |
| Naima's shawls...oh, how soft and warm they were! So soft that | |
| she would almost always fall asleep until awakened by a kiss on | |
| the forehead... | |
| Knock-knock!! | |
| Eloette is startled out of her pleasant memories by her Naima's | |
| unique knock. She always knocked in a way that made herself | |
| known to ONLY Eloette. | |
| Naima!! Eloette hugs her so tight that her Naima holds her just | |
| as tightly...for what seems to be forever. They chat about this | |
| and that...well, actually, Eloette is holding back her secret | |
| that she is planning on leaving after the birthday celebration. | |
| However, even though she is holding back...her Naima knows her | |
| Eloette very well, and therefore knows her secret. In fact, | |
| Naima has a secret of her own to share with her | |
| great-great-great grand daughter. | |
| In a moments time family, friends and neighbors begin to | |
| arrive...so both go down to join the festivities. What Eloette | |
| notices first is that there are faces she doesn't remember ever | |
| seeing before. She looks over at her Naima and gets a slight, | |
| sweet smile...and a wink...in return. | |

| Chapter Two | |
| Then Naima led me over to the closest person that was strange to | |
| me and introduced this person as Arthur. He was about the same | |
| age as Naima, so I assumed they had been friends for some time. | |
| After introductions, Arthur said that he and Naima were very | |
| close back when they were the same age as me. After an | |
| adventure that had changed their lives, they had separated as | |
| Arthur had to leave with his parents for distant travels. But | |
| then Naima told me that she had received a letter from him about | |
| a year ago about his own travels and life's adventures and that | |
| he had a grandson named Kaney. And that Kaney was coming up to | |
| a time in his life where he wanted to travel and adventure as | |
| well. It had reminded him of his and Naima's wonderful | |
| adventure as young adults. After several letters back and | |
| forth, they decided that his grandson Kaney and Naima's Eloette | |
| both loved adventure and that they might be good companions for | |
| their own first adventure from home. Then Arthur introduced me | |
| to another young man that I didnt know, as his Kaney. | |

| Chapter Three | |
| As I stood there I couldn't help but gaze at Kaney square in his | |
| gentle eyes...as I immediately saw a spark there. A glimmer of | |
| something or someone I know I had encountered before...then in | |
| my peripheral vision I could see a slight glow illuminating from | |
| his chest - the place in where his heart resides. Then what kept | |
| me staring, were his eyes. They were the deepest deepest | |
| amethyst! This fellow standing before me...this "uongzya anmza" | |
| (young man)...is one who I think would make a good friend. | |
| The next thing I am hearing is Eloette! Eloette!... | |

| Chapter Four | |
| My Naima was asking me to come over to her, so I bowed slightly | |
| to Kaney, and told him I had to go. I broke away from Kaney | |
| reluctantly to go see Naima. She was chuckling softly and | |
| quietly told me I shouldnt stare at people (speaking of Kaney). | |
| Then she told me of of the adventure she had with Arthur, when | |
| she was a young lady. They had went up into the nearby | |
| mountain to collect a rare healing herb found there, so that | |
| they could sell it to the local doctor, who was offering money | |
| to anyone who could bring him some. They wanted the money to | |
| buy a couple of chicks, so that they could eventually have eggs | |
| (they were both from poor families). So they wrapped up some | |
| bread in a cloth and tied it on their belts, and brought along | |
| Arthur's father's canteen with water. Then they set out for the | |
| mountain, probably an all day trip. And they prayed the Lord | |
| would help them find some of the herb. | |

| Chapter Five | |
| I really desired to pay attention to my naima...but it was so | |
| hard keeping my eyes and mind attentive to her. It made it even | |
| harder because I could feel Kaney stare at me...as though he was | |
| staring a hole right through the back of my head RIGHT into my | |
| thoughts. I could not stand it anymore...so I excitedly, but | |
| reluctantly, and quickly turned in an endeavor to meet his eyes. | |
| But, to my puzzlement, it was not Kaney that was boroughing a | |
| hole through my skull and intruding on my thoughts! It was... | |

| Chapter Six | |
| This is the village that Eloette was born and raised in...is it | |
| on planet earth? Well, if you look closely...probably not...OH, | |
| by the way! The name of the village is.... | |

| Chapter Seven | |
| Sa'anna, which is nestled in the shining mountains, shimmering | |
| of blue in the morning sun. | |
| There is peace this day, with these people. The winds are | |
| blowing thru the pinez, in the ridge above us, making a roar. | |
| The flowers seem to be dancing before us. There is a stillness, | |
| though, between us, below the wind, in the meadow. | |
| I see Arthur talking with Naima. They both seem to be shy | |
| towards each other; or, is it something else, a vulnerability | |
| that comes with being in love? Or was it some shared painful | |
| memory? | |
| Kaney stares at me, and then says, "I have heard that you are | |
| going somewhere, that you are traveling. Is this right? If so, | |
| I would like to go with you. You might need my help along the | |
| way. I think Arthur and Naima would speak well for me." | |

| Chapter Eight | |
| As Eloette and Kaney talk about their ideas and | |
| plans...Eloette's mind wanders to that person who's eyes she met | |
| when she thought Kaney was staring through the back of her head. | |
| Their eyes only met for a moment...but it told her that there | |
| would be more moments to come between them...hmmm, Eloette | |
| thought. Who is he?? He is not particularily handsome...but he | |
| is mystifying. Who is this man that has captured my | |
| attention?...especially since I thought it was already captured! | |

| Chapter Nine | |
| Then there was a faint humming sound that occurred over the | |
| trees, and then, a gray, flat anti-grav floating platform, with | |
| bucket seats upon it, came into view. It passed over the tall | |
| trees above the meadow where everybody was visiting. | |
| Eloette became excited. Here was the transportation offered by | |
| Uncle Tahl for her trip. She remembered Uncle Tahl saying, "It | |
| should get you anywhere you want to go, except, it won't, of | |
| course, traversing the oceans." The grav-platform set down, | |
| landing in front of the people. | |
| Eloette sensed the excitement in the others and a certain | |
| sadness, they knowing that she was going to be leaving soon. | |
| She watched as her beloved trunk was put aboard the platform and | |
| locked down. | |
| Then Kaney said . . . | |

| Jella, I think you should name this other person, or if you want | |
| someone else to do so, give us a hint about them, male, female, | |
| protagonist, antagonist, someone else vying for elloette. | |
| Give us a clue or simply name them. :D | |
