The Q Princess is back after a long trip from neverendingland. Was there to visit a dearest friend who is unwell, lets pray for his safety and may he recovered soon and hope he is out of danger and pain. Amin..
The King and I found these 2 lovely parrots on our way back, and they will be staying with us in the castle. I hope Sir Leo and Sir Henry dont mind taking care of them please. The King just adores them and I think he is writing a poem.
The reason why me, the Princess had a heartache was because of this...
I was waiting for the in the garden when he arrived 3 hours later, and you know why? It's because Sir Matthew and the went to Comic Kingdom. For more stories read this.. KING LOKU WENT TO COMIC KINGDOM
Poor poor because of the the is heartbroken.
(Psssst... can you hear the music 'Canon in D minor'? Well if you're using Firefox,Safari & IE then it shud be no prob, but if you're using Opera than am sorry it just didnt work. This music is the & love songs, it remind me of the first time we fall in Oopppsss )
Narrator: scott earthstrong is high up on a thirty foot ladder pruning the spring suckers on an apple tree in the castle orchard. he hails sir marcus in the distance chatting with his 'secret'? love the stylish lady angeliki.
"hail friend, well met! haven't seen you since the battle of the 'Troglodytae'."

and descending to terra firma, sir scott strides over to greet his old friend. then with a hearty clap on the back and a welcoming handshake, he looks sir marcus over...
"looking well, marcus. welcome to the castle of happiness."
*the castle guard announces the arrival of another visitor. by his garb, he appears to be from the south.

Sir Marcus picked up my handkerchief from the ground and said: " this lovely rose aroma will be with me for ever". I did take the handkerchief gently away from him and I said "thank you". Sir Scot Earthstrong my came over to say hello and welcome Sir Marcus. I knew right then I had a dilemma:
Should I mention the incident to my beloved Sir Scott or keep it as my secret ?
By ellinidata, # 24. May 2008, 05:08:05
* sir scott noticed the handkerchief float to the ground and felt a little jealous pang when sir marcus lifted it to his nose...
he hid his confusion by inviting sir aadil to his hut for some halaal and a cup of fresh hamud.
thinking, 'i can't invite the lovely lady angeliki, it wouldn't be seemly for her to enter my humble hut.'
and to sir marcus, "lady angeliki will show you around the castle. mayhap we will meet again anon. this evening the 'mummers' are playing in the grand ballroom. perhaps we can have a conversation after the play?"

I recall you mentioned that I need to see some seed samples ( this is not going the way I pictured it) forget it!
By ellinidata, # 24. May 2008, 11:41:00
oh yes, sir scott has an abundant supply of seed; for any occasion. he is very proud of his cherry tomatoes. the stalks stand up straight without support. until they bear fruit, then they require a little help.

narration: while life goes on happily as usual at the castle, scott earthstrong has been off in the dark dogon forest hunting this dragon.
unfortunatly, "pervious", the dragon of most ferocious nature, has caught sir scott while he was busy gathering the buds of 'dragon bane'. this vicious dragon has thrown poor scott into a wicker cage suspended way up in the tree tops. he's hungry, angry, lonely and tired. you know what that means.... (ominous music, with a tomtom and thunder).
*"wish i had stayed at home." scott moaned wrapping the wounds on his legs and arms with a few colorful bandanas. "i miss my friends. if i survive this ordeal, i'm going to declare my love for princess angeliki. why did i come on this fruitless errand anyway?"

narrator: it's two in the morning and under a starry moonless sky sir scott ponders. the earthstrong sits on a treestump gathering strength from the quiet night. he can't sleep because that's all he did in captivity. he's deep in thought though arguing with himself.
"life is so simple when you're alone... "the solitary bird flies highest', old rumi had said, and part of him believed that. but another part, deep in his essence, yearned for human companionship. what should i do about princess angeliki?" he mused for the twentieth time, "the beautiful intelligent angeliki... do i dare declare my love? she has shown some fondness for me, that's been noticed by the whole court." "my god! what am i thinking? we haven't even had one conversation together alone."
earthstrong gets up and walks over to his hut and pressing his forehead on the cool cedar timber of the doorframe... think. think. think.
suddenly, " ah haaaaaaaaaaaa" he grabs his head with both hands and begins to dance a little jig. "paint her portrait, i will. i'll paint her portrait and she will see how beautiful she is in my eyes. and at the same time we can talk... i love to have a little light chatter and joking while i'm working... i will amuse the lady angeliki with tales. i will recount anecdotes of my adventures in foreign lands and she cannot help but love me more...."
he goes to his little cot and finally tired falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. his last thought was...
"must remember to thank sir leo, the king and lord nightwolf for coming to my rescue..., yes thank them.... went out of their way for me.... cool.... zzzzzzzzzzz [ EDIT | DELETE ] By I_ArtMan, # 20. May 2008, 14:49:00
Oh Princess Queen, 'twas there last night we dined in splendor and the sight of beauty dazzled Kingly eyes and brought his voice to tender sighs.
Was it the room? The secret place where fluttered flames hung in their place and diamond sky let in the moon?
It was thy beauty and thy grace bewitching the King in that sweet place.
I dined with thee, glorious dazzling Gem, thou who was clad in gossamer blue, star studded from heaven's firmament. There at the secret place we met, Candle Light Dinner in Heaven spent.
I see the sun-at-midnight here over a darkened sea unclear. I see the beauty in your art, I see love from a loving heart
A mermaid swims in ink dark sea and the midnight sun is her lantern free. She is the spirit of all that is here in the darkling waters and she sees clear.
All these things I look and see and I give thanks to heaven for thee. Paint on sweet Princess Queen, paint on and give the treasure of your song.
Such is the sweetness in this thing that I kneel to thee and am your King, lost in a wonder at what I see, bowing to Lea on my bended knee
(c) LOKUTUS PRIME Thank you PL, for the lovely poem.

A beautiful and quiet place, here you could see varieties of "sea transportation" such as container vessels, speed boat, sampan, catamaran.. etc.. You can find beautiful seashells too... Come take my hand and lets stroll together...
I have decided to create a family, Mr Stik, Mrs Stiks and Stik Junior. So I guess from now onwards I will be drawing them and their activities for all of my Opera friends to enjoy. I hope you like them.
