I want to thank Tamara for letting me play with her beautiful new character Shakina! I also want to thank all who view this image, and I hope you enjoy it! This image is for Meredith to wish her well with her most difficult challenge! She sends her love to all! The Story: As children they often played on the beach together. One day while searching for treasures along the shore they came upon a smoldering orb in the sand. As they bent to pick it up it began to rise, and it floated in the air between their hands. They found that they could make it spin and spread its tiny wings and fly. But it would always come back to them. They hid their unknown treasure within a strange rock formation in a forbidden area of the beach and vowed to keep their treasure a secret between them. Often they would return and marvel at the way they could make this orb do many tricks with only the thoughts in their minds... One sad day they were taken from their homes when a terrible war raged through the land, and this separated them for many years. Until one day when they both had a calling within their minds and hearts so powerful they could not resist. On this night they returned to the place where their secret began, knowing they must save their treasure, but fearing they would be discovered... The background is one from my new set soon to be available in the free area. The floating orb is one of many varieties of another new item I am working on for the free area called a "Starkle"...
