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...

This is the village that Eloette was born and raised in...is it

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
