A day of joy

I own myself here, this is a work of fiction.


MORNING
It is a brilliant and beautiful morning and invader has gotten up extra early to greet the rising sun. There is a certain majesty to watching the sun come up over the city , just watching it slowly rise and fill the world with the color of morning that delights her. Ever so slowly the colors of morning stream into the city, as if it were some sort of symphony orchestra that has been conducted sense the beginning of time. She loves watching the waves in the distance dance with the first light of morning upon them. Waves prance about as if they were horses turned out to pasture , and they are filled with the joy of another morning full of frolicking. Inside invader can feel herself frolicking with them, dancing about with joy that pours from her like a hidden spring bubbling up from the earth. She smiles basking in the glory of the sunrise , and embracing its warmth as the first rays touch her.


Once the sunrise is done she retreats inside laughing softly all the way, she fells as if she were waltzing on air. Lightly she walks inside as not to disturb the others, but humming inwardly with all the magic of the sunrise. Deep within her heart is singing a song of magic, and wonder that echos throughout her soul. The music within has no words nor need for them, she trembles with joy that can hardly be contained. All the way back to her room her feet dance to a song only she can hear. It is exhilarating to feel like this , and invader fells as if she has been born anew. The magic of the sunrise has done it's work upon her, and she embraces the enchantment with reckless abandon.

AFTERNOON

Later on she wanders outside to the garden area and spends time there taming the dragonflies that fly over the nearby pond. She has gotten them to come and sit with her as she walks about. They have become so used to her presence that she can get them to sit on her hand by merely holding it out. Eventually she can relax and curl her fingers, and the dragon flies in turn relax with her, as if they can read each others thoughts. Some of them even fall asleep and she dare not speak a word lest she breaks the enchantment. Wandering about she is greeted by other insects that dance about her , as if they have known her for forever. Timid butterflies dance close but not to close to her, till one eventually lights upon her hand and goes still. Invader address it as if it were a friend, and the butterfly allows invader to pose it 's wings any way she wishes. Eventually word is given that releases the butterfly from its present state and it takes off dancing about wildly. Laughing invader watches it till it is far out of sight , and continues on her walk only to pause on a bench amidst flowers. She has a great fondness for the wild ones and is delighted to find a single one amidst a bare bit of ground. She touches it and hopes it will grow to be a great flower some day.


During the late afternoon, some birds settle into the trees at the park and invader whistles to them hoping for a response. A single whistle answers and there is a flurry of wings as the bird approaches her location and calls again. Invader answers them , then hears a different call and two young bird voices are herd. Looking upward she notices that they are purple martins, and she calls to the two young fledgelings. The older of the two calls back to her in a happy tone, the younger one fallows suit and they catch sight of her. Before long the mother bird and her two young ones are dancing about her, and they are singing along with invader. They from a quartet of song that is accompanied by sunlight that flickers through the trees, soon a warbler of some sort disrupts them with a shrill call. Invader answers them as if to say " join in , and add to the harmony". The five voices soon are all singing together in a song without words , that seems to brighten the world around them for a moment of eternity.

Twilight
It is evening and the last light of the sunset have yet to depart, announcing the nightfall that is soon to come. The clouds above are covered in an iridescence rainbow of color that is constantly shifting. Inside she watches the show of light and clouds that constantly change more gracefully that any dancer in the world. Distant planets can been seen as dim stars that sit just above the horizon. Invader imagines that she is back in her home world waiting for the twin moons to arise. The majesty of the twilight holds her in awe, and she watches till the sun goes down. Turning away from the window she settles in for the night and goes to sleep dreaming of sailing on the clouds.


NIGHTFALL
It is the middle of the night and moonlight streams in casting everything in a silver glow. All the shadows are made into shimmering pools of sliver that dance as faint waifs of clouds pass by. Invader is journeying to her home world though dreams, and she is happy to be returning there briefly. Upon arrival she is in time for the annual moon festival in the town of sky dawn , and she is invited to join in on the new moon dance. She dances with them till the first light of morning that summers her back to where she is residing. Bowing she bids the inhabitants farewell and promises to return soon.

The End.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
