A clouded dream on an earthly night Hangs upon the crescent moon A voiceless song in an ageless light Sings at the coming dawn Birds in flight are calling there Where the heart moves the stones There that my heart is longing for All for, for the love of you.
A painting hangs on an ivy wall Nestled in the emerald moss The eyes declare a truce of trust Then it draws me far away Deep in the desert twilight Sand melts in pools of the sky Darkness lays her crimson cloak Lamps will call, call me home
And so it's there my homage's due Clutched by the still of the night Now I feel, feel you move And every breath, breath is full So it's there my homage's due Clutched by the still of the night Even the distance feels so near All for, for the love of you The Mystic's Dream, by Loreena McKennitt

Entering in for at least one of the three visible soq (or creating a master plotlist if you wanted to use the plot for any of the three) was how you got your Mystery Raffle ticket. The Mystery Raffle was separate to the judged contest, that way even through I would have to weigh the plots and decide, that participants would be able to have a shot at a prize even if I didn't pick them.
Desert Biome - Day Separated from the love of her life by a curse spends her days trying to find ways to break the curse to be with her love when daybreak begins and the sun rises, so does she from her slumber. like the sun, she also goes to slumber every night as soon as dusk begins and the moon starts to rise Although she has had many suitors this mare only has eyes and heart for her love that she has been separated from for many many moons The only time they have been able to be together, even briefly, is when the sun and moon meet during a total solar or lunar eclipse partial eclipses they can see and speak to one another ever so briefly, but they cannot touch one another. this is only possible during full eclipses

Daybreak Hippogryph Passion of dance- he seeks an audience everywhere he goes to share the joys of his dance. Even if he hasn't finished learning a particular dance yet Cloud watching- a hobby he can fall into at any moment. Always willing to drop anything to share the shapes he sees above and enter a cheerful debate. Friendly competition- When it comes to Dance, a healthy rivalry is absolutely accepted. Desired, even. He would love to seek out a rival to test and prove himself against, or learn from if they happen to be better than he is, for now.
Desert Biome - Day Wandering spirit- Traveling the world to sate her wanderlust Always a friend- Making friends and connections in every new location she visits Desires of a family- Settling down in one place can only tempt her for the right stallion or mare Willing to help- any fellow traveler she crosses, if they are in need of water or anything she would drop everything to help
Desert Biome - Night Family lost- wandering in search of clues He reads the stars for guidance, following them to wherever, and whomever they seem to be pointing him Willing and open to joining a wandering herd- for company and the extra eyes that may help him search

Daybreak Hippogryph Suffering from amnesia they wander in search of their identity. In their search they come across a wiseman that suggests they meditate on this topic. It turns out the wiseman was really the god of the desert in disguise, and also their father; though he could not reveal this to his son for it was forbidden. After meditating,and then falling into a deep slumber they have an almost surreal dream in which they remember they are the son of a deity reborn on Earth being tested with a purpose. After reclaiming their name and purpose they set out to become King and rule over others, promoting a peaceful life without war. They achieve peace and ascend back to the realm of Gods

Voiceless Songs in Ageless Nights:
Daybreak Hippogryph Lover of the Sun - adores the soft light of the morning, and abhors the brighter colors of the sunset. He wakes up before the dawn to greet it, and goes to sleep before the sun can set. Perhaps someone might persuade him that the stars have charms of their own? Careful, Icarus - he pushes himself daily to fly further and higher each day, each inch bringing him closer to the sun. An injury feels inevitable, both physical and mental, and a healer of both would be necessary. Restless Dreams - he sleeps deeply, but is plagued by uneasy dreams that he can not remember when he wakes up. Eventually, he decides to seek out a more experienced dreamer to finally achieve peace.

Daybreak Hippogryph Crepuscular - He is rarely seen during daylight or nighttime hours, preferring the twilight periods around dawn and dusk. He finds the lighting best for his eyes, which hurt under bright light, and are not so good in true darkness. Delicate - He might like strong, but he is not... He is very easily injured, and prone to catching any illness that might be going around, even if it's not commonly one that will attack adults. Quick-Witted - With how delicate he is, he has had to become very good at figuring out how to take care of himself in just about any situation. When the situation is unstable and prone to change, his mind is good at coming up with ideas on how to figure things out quickly.

Voiceless Songs in Ageless Nights:
Daybreak Hippogryph He was one of the first hippogryphs born after they originally crossed the mountains from the desert. He spent much of his young life daydreaming of the sunrise coming up over the dunes. Wishing that one day he'd be strong enough to fly back and see where his parents came from. Trained with the intent of becoming a strong flier. It took him a while but since he's hit his stride he's gotten to branch out farther than his home. He's met a lot of others and aides in trading / deliveries / flying messages messages. There are dreams sometimes of places and people he's generally never met - he's not sure about those yet. (They are hints of things to come, they are rarely events of real consequence. Usually resulting in a deja vu moment for him. When they are it's startling to him.) Some manner of avian familiar so it can fly with him. He could rescue it on one of his delivery journies. Adopting a horde of critters (and/or maybe a winged foal) that he's drawn to and need protection.

Master Plotlist Explaining the Unexplainable: There are a bunch of interesting natural phenomenon occuring at unnatural times. This soq seeks them out. Seeks out the reasons, trying to come up with the reason why... if there is any. Wind and Waves, Murk and Shadows, To Touch the Sky, Wind and Sand: Exploring all the different environs of Kawani, learning their quirks and things to adore about each Impress Me: Nothing is worth doing, unless it is worth doing well. S/he often falls short of the goals s/he sets his/herself, and is harsher on his/her own perceived failures than anyone else could possibly be. And though it is a double standard – s/he is very aware of it - she does not expect others to reach his/her expectations. In fact, s/he holds no expectations of others, allowing them to impress or disgust him/her on their own merits. Something to Protect: They find someone or something that is defenseless or just in need of someone stronger who can protect them... it isn't really a natural thing for them, so this is how they cope/ deal with it The Wheel of Life: Experiences of life, death, love, hope. Finding strength and the willingness and ability to overcome Trials and Tribulations: The world does not look kindly on innocence, often sending experiences to temper, tarnish or break them. So they will faces many different trials. Whether they are tempered or broken (permanently or with the potential to be 'fixed at a later date) will be determined by events...

Masterlist Nature in it's vastness can be incredibly lonely. This soq seeks to close that gap, to find others, but ultimately is tugged back to the call of their home.
Protector of their homeland - the desert is a unique location. Whether it's protecting the wildlife struggling to survive, or the peace of a sunrise at the end of a long night, this soq is determined to keep their home as it should be.
Serious - this soq has been alone for too long, and feels slightly burdened by tasks they have taken onto their own shoulders. They've lost their sense of frivolity, and need to learn it again. A playful/curious familiar could help them regain their sense of wonder.

But at the last second they back out, breaking the heart of another Soquili who they didn't actually love Later, actually does fall in love with someone they meet on their travels -- will their love choose to join and embrace a life of endless travel or will they part with aching hearts? Trouble brews during exploration and when caught in a rockslide, it's only the beginning of the trouble. What other mishaps await? Finds a whole litter of familiars and bonds with one who has a personality much different from theirs but somehow the bickering and conflicting perspective makes life much more full and happy Oh My God -- children?!??! -- they either have children who travel with them as a nomadic family, or they had children along the way, scattered throughout the herds. Whichever plotline works better for the muse as I feel it out smile

I enjoyed how creative you were! You will have to work with the RP Management as we don't have a "Realm Of the Gods", or a way for a Soquili to ascend to be a God/Angeni, but this could have some interesting connotations with Elderhood, or potentially you could make a herd that believe themselves to be Gods!

Man oh man, what can I say? I love the idea of a serious Soq that needs to learn, specifically, how to play once again. The idea of ties to our home and (almost a traditional feel!) and doing what one can to preserve important things is interesting and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
