In the dark
the whispers call.
Nothing stirs,
Nothing at all.
The air is still,
as if waiting.
The fade of twilight,
brings the gloom a hidden life.
While all is still,
you can feel it in the air.
The current that tickles,
running along your skin.
You stay barely dormant,
knowing your time is soon.
You hear them,
not whispers anymore.
Your siblings by chance,
if not by blood.
Blood long gone,
With only hard marble now in place.
After Centuries,
you still feel stifled.
Trapped forever,
this is your curse.
Being the last,
it was your duty.
Today the plains are thin,
which gives them strength.
You can feel it,
even without proper senses.
They want you to join them,
Powers combined.
Something breaks the quiet,
clamouring from down below.
It is them,
those who harness powers unknown.
To trap you alive,
forever set in stone.
These might be new ones,
but their goal is forever the same.
To teach the future,
not to repeat the past.
That is the boon,
they made so long ago.
You wish at times,
it was your turn to rest.
As you see them wither,
to be entombed below.
They say each new death,
just locks you in your cage further.
Years of standing,
gathering strength.
For there was not else to do,
the only thing allowed was speech.
Everyone once in a while,
a little display of power.
You learned to stop that,
not to let them see too much.
So you cast your own whisper,
to the others who share your plight.
We wait,
Brothers and Sister.
Our time will come,
but this day is not the day.
We have forever,
and they are mortal.
For now,
rest again in your cold cage.
You feel the urgency abate,
the press of power diminish.
In the dark,
all is silent again.

Second Life Syndicate has sponsored a Fantasy Faire Sim this year! I’ve already talked about it a bit on the site, but we will be putting up more official content over the new few weeks, and we have lots planned for you all to enjoy.
Fantasy Faire is a Charity Event that supports Relay for Life. Event if you don’t enjoy fantasy, there is bound to be a little something for you to bring home, to support a good cause.
Visit Atheneum, a darker themed sim that brings a flare of glamour and a slight sense of spooky to the fairelands this year. There is something going on here, but what you wont know until later, during the faire.
Do you have what it takes for find out what mysteries this sim holds?
You now know about the statues, they aren’t what they seem . . .
