in the Darkling Grove, listening with the trees

• Where… are we…?

  You have stumbled through this dark forest, brambles tearing at your clothing, for what seems like hours. Now you find the grove... the moss is soft and deep, the stars overhead are bright as diamonds caught in a rippling wave of velvet.

• Who is the Muse?

Older than she looks. Dressed as a lady of the Victorian era... on her way to a funeral, or an All Hallow's Eve ball.

  Darkling Elytis is an avatar in the online virtual world, Second Life. The writer behind her ~is~ her, through a twisted glass. She is ~not~ also Sysperia. Caledon is a very independent neo-Victorian nation-state in Second Life. Nearly all that you read here is real, on a deep level. Details, however, are poetry. Reality can be a slippery thing.
