Finding Romance At The Edge Of The World

Voah went to bed euphoric, still reeling from all the events of the celebration. It was the greatest natalday she had known since she was a small child.

Alexis and her entourage really pulled that together in no time and Voah could not have been more surprised nor grateful. She vowed to Alexis that she would return the favor if ever she could, even if the woman thought it unnecessary. She would pay her back in kind, somehow.

Hoi! What a night! The Goddess of Sex and Fertility had certainly been speaking to Voah tonight. An unexpected connection that turned into a deep desire that was tangible, though she knew next to nothing about the man. He was exotically handsome, agile yet strong, and he was full of passion it seemed. Voah could still smell him on her clothes and inhaling his natural scent made her flushed. Her defenses were as thin as the paper of Kupen's Ward. It was like magik? Oh Gods that would be her luck. Was this too good to be true? What would become of them? Why was he even here in Aquilo. Had he planned this? Followed her? So many unanswered questions. She had to separate herself last night from Gonyaul or who knew what would happen.

The letter! She had almost forgotten about it. She pulled out from her garments and tried to look it over. There was no light in her tent so it would have to wait until morning. Instead, she thanked the Pillars for a beautiful night and chased the moments again and again on the edge of dreams until finally sleep took her, still clutching the envelope.

As usual, she rose early. No memory of dreams, but the events of her natalday flooded back to her. She found the envelope, a little crushed. She immediately took it, sitting up near the entrance and let in some morning light, little as it was. She gently traced the organic lettering of her name with her hand and touched the envelope to her nose.

(Outside of the card upon opening the envelope) (there were artistic lines that she guessed was the lettering of a language she didn't know and a translation in common)

“Within this card is a magikal pair of wings, unseen to all eyes but no hearts. They will take you where you want to go, no matter the worlds rants and costs. And should you fear the wings should fail, or damage overtime. I shall always be here to catch you up, in arms and in my rhyme. “

(Inside of card)

Voah, happy is he that hath your view. More happy is he that sighs for you. But happy sure he needs must prove, whose sighing makes you sigh for love. Happy is he that may be so bold, to kiss your lips and not controlled … to taste sweetness that has power, to give life in every hour…. Happy is he that may so much, as hear and see and taste and touch, those eyes, lips, hands and rest, that can make a man like angel blessed. “

(Signed Gonyaul)

"Oh Hoi!" she sighed. The future was going to be interesting. If Omen had told her about this moment, she would have been still just as blindsided and racked with disbelief. Wow! To find romance at the edge of the world.
