Virtual Neko in Second Life

Pale mist hovered at the edge of the lake, wrapping icy fingers around the dry reeds and transforming their plumy heads into a thousand wild and magical fairy wands. The moment had come. A riot of stars dimmed in anticipation as soft, rhythmic footsteps emerged from the trees.

Her arrival would have been unremarkable, were it not for the light emanating from something cradled ever so gently in her hands. She moved to the center of the clearing, took one last look around her, and nodded. With a soft scraping sound, she lifted the lid and stepped back as a myriad of glowing forms burst out of the vessel.

At first they surrounded her with uncertainty, their fragile wings testing the cold night air. A smile dawned on her lips and she nodded again. One by one, tiny silver voices began to trace an age-old melody.

The more they sang, the more the light began to coalesce, reflecting off the sparkling snow, laughing at the dark underside of the trees and cascading back down over her hair until suddenly, in a thousand scintillating sparks, the light exploded with purpose and each tiny form sped away in its own direction across the frozen grass.

Though she had witnessed it a thousand times, it never failed to take her icy breath away.
