Drifting in Coma Land....

[Zelda]

Lady Willow was correct, for after I had talked to Jo I returned to my rose and pansy garden to contemplate all that had happened.

I must admit, we did not really live in a "quiet" kingdom as all the tourism brouchures proclaimed! If anything we lived in a kingdom of intrigue and daring. Where if anything could happen it generally did, and usually involved one of my retinue! Add to this various intruders who distrubed the peace, a hyperactive court jester and a king with wander lust and life was anything BUT peaceful. Oh well at least we had the Arconia "Bitter End" where we could drown our sorrows if needed!

I mean in the last couple of months I had lost Moontic twice, had Willow drift into a coma, found a few foundlings, have my lady in arms be murdered and then have our illustrious webmaster be kidnapped. I mean life couldnt get any worse could it? Except maybe have 2 young noble ladies at each others throats over a man and a third pining for one who has gone away! If this doesnt turn you to some sort of drink I dont know what will.

As I sat down I shook my head, I realised tht life really was interesting in the land of Arconia. I was lost in these thoughts when I heard footsteps approach me.

"Your Majesty?"
I jumped, I was not expect Lady Rosaline to come back to find me so soon after our last talk....
"Yes Rosaline, what can I do for you?"
"Remeber how you said if I ever wanted to talk to come and see you?"
"Yes I do... Now whats the matter?"

[Moonitic]

Meanwhile, Lady Moon held Willow's hair for her as she wretched. After spending all that time with the Muuvians, a little vomit wasn't going to bother her.

"I cannot believe what has happened with you and I. Did you hear that Meekal has been making cow eyes at me?" Moon mused.

When Willow finished and cleaned herself up, she answered, "Well, you DID save him from his father. He looks to you as a hero." Then she laughed. "He makes more than cow eyes, my dear. He follows you everywhere."

"Yes." Moon sighed. "I know. He doesn't even try to hide it. And I've heard him talking to his rocks about me. Ugh! Why can't I have a real romance with a REAL man? Why do the other girls get to have all the fun?"

"I'm sure one will come along. Either that, or you'll be abducted & forced to marry one." Willow giggled. Then held her stomach. "Oh my, I shouldn't do that so much!"

"Serves you right, teasing me. It's not my fault I keep getting abducted. And have you heard the rumors?" Moon's voice dropped to a whisper. Her cheeks turned red just mentioning the word.

Willow nodded. "Yes. They're disgusting. Someone must be obsessed with you to make up such slander."

"That's what I'm afraid of. Perhaps I should ask for a body guard."

"That might be a wise idea!"

[Willow]

Lady Willow left the castle to go walking in the gardens. A little fresh air certainly couldn't hurt right now. She walked up and down the paths, admiring the beautiful flowers and breathing in their heavenly scent. Hopefully, she wouldn't be throwing up for a few more hours, now. "You certainly find out who your friends are when you are sick or pregnant...it takes a very good friend to hold back your hair when you puke," she thought.

She heard a sound behind her. "Ahem." Willow turned around, to find Meekal the Daft behind her. "Um, Lady Willow, may I please talk to you for a minute?" Willow took a deep breath, composing herself, and replied, "Um, sure, Prince Meekal...shall we walk along the garden path?" Meekal smiled and said, "Yes, that would be nice. Perhaps I can find more rocks to add to my collection."

They began walking. Meekal kept his eyes along the path, looking for rocks. Willow kept her eyes straight ahead, because she was afraid if she looked at Meekal, her stomach would turn once again. He wasn't so bad if you looked at him from the corner of your eye. Willow gathered up her courage...the sooner she got him to talk, the sooner she could perhaps escape back to the castle. "Meekal, what did you want to discuss with me?" Meekal replied, "It's about the Lady Moon. She is unlike any woman I have ever met." "Yes, this is true," she said, "Moon is unique." "Well, I know that she doesn't really like Muu. But, she and I are away from Muu. I kind of like her. Do you think she would ever consider marrying me?"

Willow turned, looked Meekal full in the face, and puked all over his shoes.

[Moonitic]

Meanwhile, Lady Moon sat in her chamber, one of the few rooms not touched by Mango's redecorating binge. She sat at her desk with her parchment and pen. Moon intended to write out the horrors that had recently befallen her. Her mind kept drifting.

Why did she have to keep getting abducted? It was getting ridiculous. Sure, Moon thought, I'm a princess...but do I always have to be so darn helpless? And why do all the men who want me, kidnap me instead of court me? Sheesh! She threw down her pen and grabbed a looking glass...it is not as though I belong under a bridge! Don't I?

Lady Moon sighed and stood. She moved over to her window, which had a lovely view of the garden. She spotted Willow. "Good. She needed some air." But who was with her? Upon closer observation, she realized it was Meekal the Daft, the Muuvian outlaw prince (the second one, that is) that kept following her around. Poor Meekal. He'd never learn!

It brought her to another thought. What about Angelo? Had he talked to his brother yet? Did he even know that Meekal was there?
Oh well, that was between them.

She leaned on the sill, humming the old ballad, "Someday My Prince Will Come." According to her father, it was sung by a distant cousin. Moon should be so lucky! The only one who had come for her collected ROCKS!

"When you enter the land of the Lord your God is giving to you, do not learn to imitate the detestable[sic]ways of the nations there. Let no one[sic]be found amoung[sic]you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist[sic]or who consults the dead. Anyone who does thes[sic]things is detestable[sic]to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God."

HMmmmmmmmmmmm... As a Pagan-wiccan, spiritualist, and normal person.. (I'll bet you've done one or two of those things yourself, even without realising it) I suppose that makes me pretty detestible?, re: engaging in Witchcraft and Spell casting, consutlting with spirits, Divination, dream interpretation.

I just have to go and sacrifice some small children.

My point is this:
What the hell gives you the right to attack religions and lifestyles in such a pious fashion? It's one thing to namecall a member of this board, but this is just taking the P-biscuit. I would thank you to leave religion alone. I do not attack christianity, Judaism, Hinduism Sikhism, Islam Satanism or any other religious belief system, and I feel that you should not have either.

You have really got my back up tonight.
There's one thing you may NOT attack in a court of law, and that's an individual's religious beliefs.

I'm VERY sorry to the other members. The story's looking great, buy I felt I MUST comment on this matter.

I thank you.

Steve. (One ticked-off wiccan)

[George Washington]

All your false gods
Are now belong to us!

Steve,

I'm really worried about you now. Wicca? Don't be fooled. You must know that you are going to burn in the lake of fire for all time? Renounce Satan and his temptations, and confess your sins to Jesus. Only he can help you. You have strayed from the narrow way, but you have to remember that Jesus loves you and will forgive you for your evilness.

"I just have to go and sacrifice some small children."<----This was in very bad taste and is offensive even as a joke.

Freedom of religion? God bless America! If you look back in your history books you will see that freedom of religion was the reason that the Mayflower set sail. Your country has not always been a bastion of religious and personal freedom. Count this as one more lesson that we had to teach you.

Feel free to be open with us, but only if you are willing to truely open your heart to the truth. And remember that your father satan often disguises himself as an angel of light, but in truth he stalks the earth like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

[DamedEscrime]

Okay, so, where did that come from?

[Willow]

THUMP! <head hitting desk>

[Moonitic]

Steve, he's saying that to MOCK Christianity, not support it. A TRUE Christian does not feel that way about others. Our two greatest commandments has to do with LOVE: loving God & loving one another. GW is not about love. He's about hate, spite, jealousy & hurting others. He misuses scripture for his own warped benefit. Please don't play into his game. He's using it to cause strife, and to divide us (that's plain to see...he doesn't want this Arconia thing to go on).

[Willow]

Steve, Moon is right. Besides, if one reads the Bible, one finds out that even Jesus hung around everyone...he didn't discriminate. We are to love one another, even if we don't agree on everything. A true friend is a friend who is there for you, and it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree on stuff. GW has the stinkiest fruit of any so-called "christian" I have seen in a while. There is no love of or from God in him. Steve, you are you...you are a friend. And, your friends will stick by you. Don't worry about what GW is saying. Don't let him divide us. Let's have fun with our story and ignore the loser.

[Zelda]

(I obviously missed some post which is now no longer there but anyhow!)

As I sat waiting for Lady Rosaline to talk, I spied Willow and Meekal wandering the paths. Willow honestly looked as if she had no strength in her whatsoever, and Meekal seems more interested in collecting rocks then talking. Oh well, that was osmething for me to worry about later.

[DamedEscrime]

FYI www.oldways.org/brochure.htm

When we learn about others we can understand them better.

[Iwant2bafencer]

Lady Rosaline followed the queens gaze, and watched Lady Willow and Meekal the Daft prince of Muu. 'He sure is a strange guy. Really who collects rocks?' She shook the thought away. "My Queen in truth there are alot of things on my mind lately. One thing in particular, but I will get to that one later." The queen watch Lady Rosaline carefully. "One of the things that have been bothering me lately. Is the death of my sister. She has been dead for three weeks now." She paused. "Oh I am so sorry!" The queen replied. Rosaline nodded. "Thank You. She was a very good person. Another thing that has been bothering me lately is the battle at Muu. I really don't know why it is bothering me. I have faught in many battles, and none of them bothered me as much as this one did. I keep having these dreams. . ." The queen nodded waiting for her to continue. "It's really weird well actually scary. I am waiting at the gates of the castle with all of the knights. Except for James and three of his knights. Anyway I'm waiting for him to come out of the castle and thinking to my self 'what is taking him so long he should be out by now.' So I am just about to order my knight to attack. When he is standing there next to me and my horse. Although he doesn't look like himself. he is like. . .it looks like he is surounded by a strange mist. I smile and reach down to take his hand and. . .my hand passes right through his. Then I wake up covered in a cold sweat, and I'm crying, and I cant seem to stop." Lady Rosaline had been walking back and forth the whole time. now she slumps down next to the queen with tears rolling down her face.

Oh, god.
Here we go again.

Are now belong to us! False gods? Where the hell do you get your info? I worship no god. My beliefs are that we all come from the earth and elements. We form part of a cycle.

Steve, Yes, twinkle?

I'm really worried about you now. Wicca? Yup. Don't be fooled. You must know that you are going to burn in the lake of fire for all time? Renounce Satan You what? his temptations, and confess your sins to Jesus. Only he can help you. You have strayed from the narrow way, Says who? but you have to remember that Jesus loves you and will forgive you for your evilness. Uhhhm... Yah.

"I just have to go and sacrifice some small children."<----This was in very bad taste and is offensive even as a joke.
Actually, You mentioned it first. Human sacrifice has NEVER been documented in ANY religion. I seem to recall you attacking me.

Freedom of religion? God bless America! Ah! Another little dig at brits there, Twinkle? If you look back in your history books you will see that freedom of religion was the reason that the Mayflower set sail. Your country has not always been a bastion of religious Turn me on with your big words! and personal freedom. never said it was. Count this as one more lesson that we had to teach you. I Could swear here, but I'm not that retarded. This isn't F.s.

Feel free to be open with us, but only if you are willing to truely open your heart to the truth. And remember that your father satan My dad's name's Phil. often disguises himself as an angel of light, but in truth he stalks the earth like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. but it's not a perfect world, though, is it? Perhaps we all need a touch of evil stalking us, If not to survive.
[/qb]

Mmmmmm... Surely the preachings of a madman? I don't know how many of you are religious here, but I'm cerain that you don't all try to force it upon those of us who are perhaps of less "conformist" beliefs.

I don't see why my beliefs are so offensive to you. Pardon me, but a "true Christian" would rather see people for who they are, not what they believe in.

I'd like to continue this elsewhere, Twinkle, as we have succeeded in destroying the thread of this story. Apologies, by the way.

Once again, you have no right to attack my personal religious beliefs.

Steve.
