(part four of eight – lyrics (c) Loreena McKinnett)
For she had lands both meadow and lea,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
For he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all.

Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that Love was lord of all.

Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the lord of all.

It was an English ladye bright,
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.

—————————————————————————————————————————
As the sun chased her from the sky, Elestra took one last look on her self-appointed charge. She knew he would sleep on until she found him. With the moon at her side, she was convinced of her plan. As their feet touched the ground, Elestra took the form of a young girl. Silver hair flowed down her back and swayed as she brushed her hand over the moon. Instead of taking human form, the Soltion stood beside her shaped as a silver wolf; her fur shinning in the morning light.
“Shall we find your chosen?†she growled pleasantly.
Meaningful Roots
•March 21, 2011 • Leave a CommentEver wanted to have a name with meaning? How about a name that was rooted in another language? What if the language you wanted to use had it’s own alphabet and you couldn’t read it?
Perhaps I can help you.

Elestra was a star...
Part 1 – Chosen from Above
——————————————————
In the time when Elestra was a star and she walked at day with the moon, her gaze fell to the earth. As her shining eyes passed over the land, she sought for a creature she could call her own; one that she could guide and assist and so brighten her night even more. Elestra passed over many strange, beautiful and even horrifying beings. But none caught her eye.
The star took her time and spent many months waiting to find the perfect one. She ignored the strong; they did not need her. Passed over the vain; they would not care. Pitied the angry; they would never accept her. Left behind the joyful; they had nothing for her to give. Then, among the broken she searched for, Elestra found the one she sought.
My 90CDQ
•March 4, 2011 • 1 CommentWe all know we talk to our characters, but sometimes talking doesn’t quite cut it. Half the time I don’t know what we should talk about and the weather seems to offer itself right up. If you have the same problem, or simply find yourself repeating the age old “demanding author Vs. obstinate character†conversation, then perhaps this list of questions can be of assistance to you.

Continuing on the topic of musical inspiration… I’ve covered a few (note the words; a few) composers, now I’d like to show you the world of game music. The place where the game is more recognized than the composer.
