The rise of Everwind...again....

For those that were once part of Everwind we look back and think on mostly fond memories, with some sense of sadness and yet pride. We were apart of something breath-taking, something that those that came later after the Realm fell envied the adventures we shared.

And now almost 2 years gone, Grace is rebuilding the once proud land of Everwind. It is met with mixed emotions, and yet after all this time maybe it is time for a new beginning.

Everwind can never be as it was, if MUST be something new and different, and so I have thought long on this and feel this could be a wonderful chance to start over. Step upon the green earth once more with intimidation and excitement to be apart of something that we can add to all those fond memories...or so I can hope.

Over the years I have been apart of many Realms, watched as some fall and others never get a chance to leave an impression. Few have stood the test of time and the ever changing world that is SL. Each one I have experienced has left me with new understanding of the virtual world we play in.

I recall the very moment I landed in the middle of the forest in Everwind, the landing point was out in the open not far from the Faerie Glade, Grace would later move it to just outside the market square to keep people a little more safe from the incurring battles that tended to flood the woods. My first experience with RP and the months that followed I took everything very close to heart till I learned to understand and be able to detach and simply enjoy and have fun playing whatever my character brought me. When Everwind fell it taught me the bitter sweet truth of SL, that nothing will be the same forever, and the months that followed many of us struggled to overcome the lose of something so great.

Does this mean I will go running back to Everwind now that it will rise again? As Katlin, no, her time has long since passed and her character is lost in history. But, I do see this as a chance to bring about a new character and start over, or at least, doesn't hurt to try.

And what if...Everwind should fall again? Well, more then likely it will, then I will have fun while it lasts and take a few more memories with me and hopefully a few more friends.
