Description "She approached the gathering of the knights silently. Her hands raised, holding the Holy Chalice.
A light emanating from its humble wooden center.
They put their swords on the ground and knelt, without knowing why. And then they became suddenly aware of all that was noble in them. Old memories of their mother’s embrace, a cup of hot wine after a day of bloodshed on the battlefield. The kiss of the girl they loved in their youth. An unexpected act of compassion from a stranger. They were flooded with thoughts of kindness and with the urgency to restore all that was lost, all that was wounded and ailing. Inside of them, and in the world"

I can't really say. Though could be a kind of death right?

May I have a sip from that cup? I hear it gives eternal youth, or it kills you... "Hey Indie, which one was it again?"

Cool little story there! I can just picture the scene now Do you always have a scene or perhaps an event that inspires the image first when you create, or does the image create a story of its own?

fanitsafantasy In reply to keefengrind [2010-04-29 08:17:37 +0000 UTC]

Usually, the image comes first and then it tells me the story in words. The other way round has been know to happen too though

Thanks for taking the time
