[color=ed145b][u][b]Nameless Story #1[/b][/u][/color] ​ Ever had a dream? [color=00aeef][i]Of course. Everyone dreams![/i][/color] How about a dream where you were loved? [color=00aeef][i]Sure. Lots of people dream of love.[/i][/color] What about a dream where the love you felt was so pure and so strong, that you were absolutely sure you touched the face of God? [color=00aeef][i]Um. I'm not sure. Maybe?[/i][/color] Can you imagine a love like that? [color=00aeef][i]I'm trying to.[/i][/color] A love that transcends everything? [color=00aeef][i]That sounds powerful.[/i][/color] A love that heals all wounds? [color=00aeef][i]I want a love like that.[/i][/color] A love that gives you the strength and courage to overcome anything? [color=00aeef][i]Does a love like that really exist?[/i][/color] I have... Do you want to hear about how I found that love?[color=00aeef] [i]Tell me.[/i][/color] Do you want to know where? [color=00aeef][i]Where?[/i][/color] [color=00aeef][i]What was she like?[/i][/color] Oh... [color=ec008c][u][b]she was amazing.[/b][/u][/color] ​ I woke to a faint sound, not unlike a chime, in a dense forest of pines. The ground was covered in needles. The air was fresher than anything I had ever smelled. It was dark there, the moon shone brilliantly through breaks in the canopy. I chased moonbeams through the dark. The lovely chiming sound had a pulse. I'd never heard such a thing, but it put my mind at ease. I could hear frogs and insects all around me. Occasionally, a creature would run across my path and chirp. I had never seen anything like these animals, nor had I ever been in such a place. I could see a clearing just ahead, through the trees. When I stepped through, I found myself in a field of grass. It swayed in the gentle wind. There was a sweet aroma like roses all around me. I looked up, and I saw... [color=00aeef][i]What did you see?[/i][/color] ​ It looked kind of like... crystal. That's it, a crystal in the shape of a conch shell. It emitted the softest and most gentle light. I had never seen a moon quite like it. What a wondrous world is this! I gazed in wonder at the marvelous sight. Then I heard a voice. "[color=a0410d]Ban'ka ju'wali! Ju'wali![/color]" Thud! I was met with blackness. I don't know how much time passed before I woke again, but when I did, I could see a fire... I smelled smoke and roasting meat. I saw shadows dancing and swaying in the firelight, and heard voices speaking that bizarre language from before. My hands and feet were bound, so I couldn't escape. But there... then... that is when I saw her. I will remember her in every life I'm given. [color=ec008c]Veleria[/color]... My sweet [color=ec008c]Veleria[/color]. [i][color=00aeef]What did she look like?​[/color][/i] You wouldn't understand. She was not human like us, but she was more. These beings were alien to me, but their features reminded me of wolves. She had pointed ears. She had a tail. Her coat was thick and white as the snow. They looked like those characters from that movie I loved as a child. [color=00aeef][i]So you fell in love with a dog? What the hell?[/i][/color] ​ Don't you ever call her that. She had more humanity than any creature I've ever seen. She was more loving than you. More loving than I could ever be. She was a Goddess in my eyes. Her voice... it was enchanting. She sang to it. She sang to that shell in the sky, and when she sang... it would always snow. She was magical. They were all magical, but my [color=ec008c]Veleria[/color]... she was... [color=ec008c]She is your destiny...​[/color] Yes. She was. And I'd do anything for her. Even the unthinkable. Indeed... because of her, [color=ed1c24]I would kill my own kind.[/color] [i][color=00aeef]How could you do something like that?[/color][/i] ​ For her. For her world. To keep her safe. I was the one. I was chosen. I lived among them. I became one of them. And then came the war... [color=9e0b0f]The war of the Red Eyes.[/color] Do you want to hear the rest of the story? ​ For this story, I would really like to have a partner who can respond somewhat frequently. Someone literate with massive posts is appreciated but not always necessary. This story is based on a real dream that I had a long time ago, that is very near and dear to my heart. It will be MxF. I will play the currently unnamed male, as well as Ban'ka, AKA Ban, and a couple of other male characters of Veleria's people, and some characters that will be involved later. You will play Veleria, as well as any side characters as you like, such as Kri, which I can tell you about if you'd like. This story will have plenty of romance, some fantasy and a lot of drama. It is the ultimate love story in my mind, and I'd be happy to tell you about the end of my dream if it might help you to understand just how much Veleria has impacted me in life.
