[deaddovewriting]

I'm looking for roleplay partners willing to play the following pairings:

TianShan – 19 days

Hualian – Heaven Official's Blessing /TGCF

Wangxian - Mo Dao zu shi / The Untamed

Genshin – Cynari

Please be +18 and literate. I am the type of person to enjoy plotting / brainstorming anything and think it's the most fun when you are like that too. I don't really get along with people not contributing to the story / not showing any interest.

I love, love, LOVE darker tropes. Sometimes even dead dove themes. Feel free to throw anything my way and we could discuss it!

I'm good with NSFW but I would like for a story to center around it.

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to send a message my way if you're interested!

10 BL People That I Want Carnally

Tagged by @vegasandhishedgehog, thanks for tagging me!

(This is gonna be less than 10 because my watchlist is unfortunately short)

Vegas Theerapanyakul (KinnPorsche)

Yes, yes, I know. I'll give everyone a moment to recover from the shock.

What can I say? He's insane, he's a murderer, he's a plotter and a schemer, he's five thousand red flags wrapped in a beautiful silk shirt, like a monarch butterfly or something. He's also a big pathetic crybaby who will breakdown if you give him a hug. The magnitude of my want for him is unspeakable. Out of anyone on this list, this guy right here is the one I'm most likely to be rabid dog about.

(And to put everyone out of their anticipation - while Vegas is very much included in this list, Pete is very much not. As for why, I refer you to this post by @kissporsche et al.)

Yu Ziyuan (Mo Dao Zu Shi)

The MILF of all time. BAMF wielder of the most BAMF spiritual weapon. I would let her do so much to me. I would do so much for her. *dove cameron voice* I could be a better boyfriend husband than him. (Although, let's be honest, that's not a hard bar to clear.) Yu Ziyuan, Madame Yu, I am at your service.

Ramil (Vampire Project)

Yes, I know we only have a 3.5 minute trailer but that's all I need to know I want him. A vampire with hypnosis powers that looks like Boun? That's an absolute yes, please.

Todd (Not Me)

Ugh, look at him and his big teary eyes in an emotionally fraught scene.

Now, I must confess - I have not watched Not Me (yet! it's definitely going to happen one of these days). But, I've seen enough gifsets of this bad boy to know that he is one big red flag which is way more than enough to make me go 👀

Plus, I've seen where (I assume) he lives and I'd make a move on him just for the chance to be played around with in that pool, iykyk

SamMon (GAP)

Blatantly stealing this entry from vegasandhishedgehog's post: "I just want whatever is going on right here." Literally. No notes.

And that's a wrap! Tagging @lu-sn @chalkrevelations @nev-ertheless3 if you're interested!

#making heart eyes at all the gifs in this post #i was going to use a completely different gif of vegas from ep 11 #but it once again reminded me that bible at certain angles looks way too much like my hs crush #and if i used that one my post was going to reach mortifying #🏷️

Looking for taboo / dead dove / 🍪 roleplays. Preferably MxM - OcxOc OR fandom.

I've been wanting to write something depraved involving monsterfcking/incest/ rape etc. – Getting my character corrupted by a sibling / family member or creature. Looking for someone comfortable playing the DOM in any of these scenarios. I'm open to listening to any of your ideas as well! I prefer to write on Discord after discussing here on Tumblr. All I ask is that you are active, don't ghost, and most importantly; no one liners! I like to write novella style.

I love brainstorming and actually plotting as well, as long as the nsfw parts are a little taboo and dark. ✨

You MUST be of age otherwise I am not comfortable roleplaying with you!

Possible fandoms: Heaven Official's Blessing (Hualian) / Mo Dao Zu Shi (Wangxian)

19 days - (Tianshan)

Please interact with this post and I will hit you up. :)

like if you're interested and anon will get back to you

What does NFT mean for the film and television industry?

Recently, Bilibili announced its first digital art avatar, Dove, and announced its official entry into NFT. Let’s start with popular science, what is NFT? It is a derivative concept of blockchain and a high-tech “certificate of ownership”, which is indivisible, irreplaceable, and unique. We can say it is digital currency, or digital collection.

The digital art avatars of pigeons released by Bilibili this time are a series of digital collections created with the help of blockchain technology, using pigeons as elements and using programmable capabilities. Each pigeon head avatar has its own independent number and has the attribute of scarcity. It is limited to 2233, of which 2000 (numbered 101–2100) are issued to users, and 233 are reserved by Bilibili (including UP master customization). payment).

In addition to Bilibili, domestic Internet giants have already begun to deploy NFTs, launch related platforms, and use the title of “digital collections” invariably. All in all, NFT, an emerging product, is beginning to popularize and will profoundly affect the development of related industries and people’s lives.

Not long ago, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said that the past year has highlighted a previously unimaginable opportunity in the world of cryptocurrencies, NFT Genrator and even Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to enhance the relationship between creators and their fans. contact. We’ve been focused on expanding the YouTube ecosystem to help creators leverage emerging technologies, including NFTs, to enhance and enhance the experience for creators and fans on YouTube. Wojcicki believes that “NFTs could be another form of income for creators.”

There is no doubt that NFT will also bring new influences to the Chinese film and television industry. The film and television industry has long faced the problem of piracy. With the popularity of large-screen TVs and projectors, it will also become a trend for people to watch movies through home theaters. How to realize the home distribution of movies is still a technical problem. In the past, people had the habit of collecting vinyl records, tapes, and CDs/DVDs. In the digital age, when film and television works lose their physical carrier and only exist in digital files, how to distribute them must be a problem. After the emergence of NFT, we can distribute film and television works like DVDs collected in the past, and we don’t have to worry about piracy. Many people hope that the tapes and CDs they collect are original, and even want to have the original author’s signature. In the metaverse era, these experiences can also be realized together.

In the past, TV stations often made DVDs of their popular programs and gave them away as gifts. My family has collected a lot of wonderful programs from TV stations all over the country, including documentaries, variety shows, and full records of major events. But now these DVDs are almost all decorations, and will not be played in the machine. In the NFT era, the excellent works of TV stations can also be made into NFT products to give away or even sell. Collectors can not only enjoy these works at any time, but also resell or give them away to others. In the process, the value of these works will not only not be discounted, but may also appreciate.

Since there are so many benefits, we should accept and do it well. However, it is worth noting that the current domestic laws have not yet made clear the transaction methods, supervision subjects and supervision methods of NFTs. At the same time, there is still the possibility of excessive speculation and even fraud in NFTs. How to maintain legal compliance and maintain innovation in such an environment also needs to be fully considered by the relevant management agencies.

For TV stations, confirming the rights to a large number of copyrighted works may be the most important task at the moment. The huge media assets of TV stations will generate huge value due to digital rights confirmation. Because of this, NFT will also affect the development strategy of TV stations, and increase the strength of independent originality in content production. Nft Development Solution Copyrighted content and independent original products are the real assets. The application scenarios that dominate the landing of these products will inevitably become the innovative products or profit-making methods of some large film and television companies. In addition, film and television dramas with NFT-marked ownership of specific assets make piracy traceable and verifiable, so there will inevitably be new changes in the distribution model of domestic film and television dramas.

The works of more individual digital art creators, especially video creators, will also be protected from dissemination on Internet platforms. NFT will promote the market-based transaction of these works and affect the payment of their fees; while increasing the income of the original creators, it will encourage the original creators to create better, and boost the development level of the industry to a new level.

It is believed that NFT will become a huge vehicle and tool, which will boost the implementation of more application scenarios in the film and television industry.

There’s a Mo Dao Zu Shi fic *entitled* “dead doves: please eat”, by westiec, in which bird lover and Non-Action Guy Nie Huaisang draws upon his bird-catching skills and familial background in butchering to feed his friends in a desperate survival situation—and darned if this joking play on a trope name isn’t a moving and insightful character study. (Which prompts the further thought that one person’s Dead Dove is another’s crispy roasted squab.)

--

Interesting.

[paradife-loft]

Fandom: The Untamed / CQL; Mo Dao Zu Shi Characters: Jin Guangyao; Nie Mingjue Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Fierce Corpse Niè Míngjué; Dysfunctional Relationships; Consent Issues; (not specifically re: sex; just in general); POV Mèng Yáo | Jīn Guāngyáo; Caretaking; Non-Sexual Intimacy; I feel like this is probably flirting with dead dove territory; Aftermath of Violence; A-Yao is lonely

Summary:

Jin Guangyao cleans Nie Mingjue up after an assignment.

Notes:

This is the expansion of the three-sentence fic I wrote for @coldwind-shiningstars‘ prompt, "AU where JGY succeeds in making NMJ a controllable fierce corpse" that I mentioned wanting to write a bit ago!

Currently, it’s an extended/more detailed/slightly more context version of the scene from that fic, now with actual variation in sentence structure! Additional scenes in this setting may or may not show up at some point depending on how the inspiration & concentration gremlins decide to play, because now I'm rather invested in it :3c

Okay, I've got a weird itch, and I'm wondering if my dear netizens can help me scratch it. This is a fic rec request post. Also kind of a praise post? Skip to the end to see the request, because I go off on a bit of a tangent.

I've been…really getting into The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi fanfics lately? Like, seriously, been doing a deep dive every since I finished the live action drama because holy shit that was something beautiful. And I gotta say, my favorite kinds of fics right now in this fandom are the full blown, novel length, ensemble cast ones. You know, the ones where all the right ones live, or even our favorite bad guys get redemption arcs, and almost everyone is paired off by the end. I'm a sucker for that shit. It's beautiful.

This does not negate the fact that the show (I'm working up the courage to read the actual novel that started this all - I've started, now I just need to take the plunge) is beautiful in its own right. I adore that WWX and LWJ got their happy ending. I also adore these fics.

I digress.

When I first dove into the fandom, I loved LWJ/WWX & LSZ interactions as a family. Then I fell down the WWX & JC reconciliation hell hole and I have not climbed back out, nor do I wish to! It’s amazing. But now, I've noticed that the fics that have Meng Yao|Gin Guangyao as the fulcrum are the most fascinating. Everything revolves around him, most of the time, and while I adore WWX as my favorite tortured soul and his epic pining romance with LWJ and his family dynamic with LSZ and JC, these giant fics with JGY at the center are like. Epic odysseys. It's amazing. 

And, you know, off topic of this post - which is supposed to be a cry for recs, please help - it really makes me want to write one, but first off, I know next to nothing about wuxia/xianxia style stories (though with the amount of media I've been consuming, and the cultural rabbit holes I've fallen down in on Google this past month alone, I daresay I could definitely make a good run at it), and second, just the whole psychological aspect of it for all of those characters - I pride myself on being able to read a room, especially with what I do for a living, but holy shit do these fics do a deep dive.

By the way, I speak of two specific fic authors who write the most epic JGY-fulcrum fics that I've seen so far: @mercyandmagic and @hamliet. If either of you guys see this, my respect to you as writers is through the roof. Seriously, it's mind boggling. The dissection of JGY's character, his desire for acceptance, his desperate will to live no matter what - it's beautiful. Not to mention the viewpoints of literally every other character in their fics?! And the head-hopping is amazing - not something I usually see. (Apparently this is common in Chinese fic writing, or so I’ve read somewhere? But it’s not disconcerting at all, at least not how these two do it. I kind of want to try that style...)

Lord, I don't even remember where I'm going with this. If any of my readers follow me on here, you know I'm mostly a Yu Yu Hakusho writer (let's forget the other secret account I had back in high school; I burned that, I believe). I write novella length stuff at best (of fan fiction. My original works are…massive, to say the least, which I'm proud of.). But I've never been in a fandom (and I'm in a lot of fandoms; my bookmark count on AO3 can attest to that holy shit I have a problem) that has produced such epic works that it has moved me to sway from my usual fic writing habits of safety, of topics that I'm familiar with. Seriously, I "know" wuxia/xianxia stuff now (I've been going back to my nerd roots lately and tearing through K- and C-dramas - with my mother, no less! - and absorbing a lot of cool shit. It's so fun.), but I don't know it, you know what I mean? I can explain to my mother the significance of joss sticks, paper money being burned for the dead, wedding red and mourning white, the wedding games people have to play to retrieve their spouses, cultivation culture, etc., but I'd never try to write about it because - let's face it! I'm scared. Which is funny. I'm not Japanese (I’m black/Filipino/white), but I actually grew up being fascinated by the culture thanks to my dad - our family's original weeb - and so I'm not too terrified to write fics about animes because, you know, I'm kind of familiar with it.

Chinese-based fics though? Alien to me. And it's not that I'm scared of offending anyone - I'm glad that the majority of fan culture that I have personally interacted with is nice. It's a shame that a lot of the nasty stuff gets the spotlight, gives fandom culture a bad rep, but I know that most of you guys - I'm speak of you readers/writers - are chill people who wanna vibe with the fandoms in peace.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I guess I'm just making excuses to not write MDZS fics by claiming that I don't want to contribute because I don't want to do the genre its in any injustice. The real reason I don't want to write it is because I don't think I'd be able to have a good grasp on the mental aspect of any of the characters! Weird. Writing fanfiction has never scared me before. I know it's because I'm comparing myself to these other awesome writers, not just the two I've listed, but all the writers of the amazing MDZS fics I've been reading, but who doesn’t compare themselves to someone else? It’s destructive. At least I’m aware of what I’m doing-

Holy shit this post is long I need to stop what was the point.

The point...

The point was - a request! So far, those are the only two writers I've come across who do those epic ensemble/fulcrum/happy ending for all/everyone is paired off fics in this fandom. Obviously I've barely made a dent in all the material that's out there, but I figured I'd save myself some time and ask if anyone in the MDZS fandom could recommend any other fics that do this.

Bonus points if it includes Qin Su/Wen Ning or Su She/Jin Zixun (like, seriously, I would have never in a million years expected to have liked the latter pairing, but when I've seen it logically laid out on how to rectify them, it fucking works?!). If not that, then my second favorite type of fics are the WWX & JC brotherly reconciliation fics with lots of gross sobbing. I adore the relationship between these two and I just want them to be a family again, please. There's a lot more of these works than the former, and I'm slowly working my way through them, but if you find some that I should absolutely read right now, lemme know.

⇘ - Has your muse ever used a combat vehicle or siege weapon in battle? Were they enthusiastic about it?

Somewhere near Shan'ze Dao, two weeks after the Thunder Kings revival.

“So you have nothing to stop those...things?” The hooded man said disdainfully.

“Cloud Serpents.” The Pandaren defender replied. “We are currently without air support. Until we can get our own Serpents here, we’re holding off the counter assault. No amount of you mercenary adventurers is going to help us push the mogu back without them.” 

Nix considered this, coming to raise the offered spy glass to stare at the whiplike dark forms swirling in flight around the highest peak of the northwest isle.

“...Do the Mogu use any other kind of mount in the sky?” Nix then asked. “Both you and the Mogu seem fascinated by the Serpents as you call them.”

“They are a symbol of hope to my people.” The Niuzao defender explained. “The Mogu corrupt them, pervert them into those...hideous things.”

“So nothing else?” The elf pressed with a hint of something wicked in his tone.

“...I believe they might create discs of stone that can hover? But no. Few other creatures are swift and powerful enough to seek as partners in times of war.”

“Oh delightful.” The warlock said as he clamped the spyglass down and offered it to its owner. “How thin would the sky need to be before you’d be willing to send in others?”

“You’re joking. You have a means of decimating them?” The pandaren asked incredulously. 

“No don’t be stupid. If I could do that, I’d have done it already.” Nix retorted. “But I’ve a means of pulling many away from that gloomy looking mountain and give others a chance to create a beachhead. Hurry, get the first teams ready to launch boats and portals. I need some space for this.” Nix said as he moved to put ten or so feet between them.

“I will do no such thing. Until I see how your little ‘plan’ works.” The now perturbed pandaren replied.

Nix’s hands were already moving, weaving. It was simple, as conjurations went. A name uttered in ownership. Spoken as if it were a thing, and not once a noble thinking creature with its own life and soul.

Dark scales that shimmered like burnt oil came first. Sinew and flesh and hate given form. A powerful neck, and leathery -wings- that spanned out in corrupt coloration so vivid it made the pandaren waver but for a moment, it was a color out of nightmares. Sickly green and wrong. 

“This...is called a drake.” Nix said as he swung himself up and onto a saddle marred with a symbol pandaren would only recognize from the most ancient of historical scrolls.

“And your Serpents, nor the Mogu’s have ever battled one.” He said pleased. The drakes wings beat against the packed soil, and carried the warlock up, and towards that shadow smothered isle, they stayed low, sea spray kicked up in his wake. Better for those lofty snakes to realize too late they were being attacked. The defender could only watch as the vile caster and its mount sped forth at speeds he’d never seen a Cloud Serpent reach. He scrambled back towards camp. It only took a minute and a half for the warlock to rise over the heads of the startled mogu defenders, and begin its ascent. The whip like serpents had the edge in maneuverability. That much was obvious, their entire body could coil and twist and bend at angles that would snap a drakes bones. What they lacked, however, was raw speed granted by the beat of fel infused wings. They had only sampled the rush of might that came from pain, their transformations recent and fresh. Fyrion was drowning in it. Nix had made sure of that. A shattering cry of draconic hate caught the closest serpent, its body coiling to see what had made the unearthly sound as teeth larger than long daggers found its mark, and tore its neck to flayed ribbons. The miasma of coiling scales and flash of panicked eyes swung around where they hovered and floated and lapped their roost to stare at the sudden arrival of a foreign invader. Nix let out a joyous yell as they collectively dashed down, from nearly all angles to swoop upon him. Fyrion swallowed the flesh that still coated its teeth as it reared its head back, hellish flame, backed by warbles in the air that mimicked the ripples of soil behind an earthquake were launched at the largest cluster of them in a show of force. Nix could barely hear the whine of lighting and dark stale winds being replied by those who didn’t meet flame and bone shattering impact by the drake as his knees felt like they’d give out he held his grip on the saddle so hard. Fyrion had one job. Survive, outlast, outrace. But it couldn’t possibly fight against these numbers, against the storms they launched. Raw speed over superior maneuverability.  He felt his teeth rattle in his skull from the presence of so much lighting, and so demanded the drake fling itself down towards the earth. The Serpent's dove after them, funneling towards the banks of eggs and onlooking Mogu corruptors that dotted the peak. A gauntleted arm twisted itself in the straps of the saddle, while he looked up at the chasing mogu taken beasts. Fyrion couldn’t attack them and run, which is why Nix looked up, and with his free hand flung every spell he could cast. Screaming the baleful spells against the rush of winds. Bright red fire that put the drakes to shame it was so bright discharged into the lighting streaked sky. They didn’t have to kill. Even as the flames met rushing serpents eyes and maws and ate at the flesh like a living thing. The staggering screaming victims coiled and thrashed and collided with the Serpents narrowly behind them, causing a jam of blind claw attacks and bites.  Nix flung his arm right to left and right again, painting the scene with every hateful invocation there was, only to have his last fizzle and collapse upon itself as he impacted against the saddle, Fyrions descent having come closer then he’d realized and the drake instinctively pulling the harshest point turn it could before it smeared them against the mountain. The impact caused him to lose his grip. He fell out of the saddle, and felt his neck snap unnaturally at the whiplash. He went dark. His vision returned moments later, his shoulder screaming at him as he realized he was still alive. Still moving. His cowled face buried against the straining rough grate of scales. He tried in vain to push against the g forces that pinned him like a purple butterfly to his mounts side, and only managed to wrench lower than anticipated when he tried to pull himself up. The only thing keeping him there, the gauntleted arm that he’d twisted into the strap for support. And arm that felt as if it was being torn from its socket. Fyrion was only obeying its owner, and all the pressure was to its left flank, and so Nixalegos realized as the rush of static narrowly missed him but signed the drakes wing in spastic reflex, that he was doing sluggish donuts over the enemies stronghold. And the Serpents were taking pot shots. “UP. UP!” He screamed, and tried in vain to hold on with shaky fingers as the drake swiftly flung towards the twin moons to let Nix dangle at a better angle as gravity demanded. The Serpents, the maneuverable bastards, had been on top of the play immediately. “SPIN!” Nix cried as they flew into the maw of chain lighting. Fyrion screamed as It bore the burden of damage, wounds crackling open over its form as it rose higher and higher into the night air. Rocketing up out of that arc storm. So Nix did the unthinkable in that position, and simply dismissed his drake, casting it back to the Nether with less effort then it had taken to speak its forced upon truename. He fell, his forward momentum robbed by the vain and greedy earth, down towards an onrush of serpents and death that were starting to catch up to Fyrions last position before it vanished. He tucked his arms in, forced his legs up, and kicked on his rocket boots. The Serpent's could coil and snap and bite in the time it took to take a breath. But they didn’t have a millisecond to catch the elf shaped missile that streaked past them back to the ground. It was a good a time as any to do some serious field testing. As soon as he could make out the shape of trees and rocks, he flung his arms out, goblin designed contraptions unfolding from under his shoulder pauldrons like fixed bat wings. He felt the screws he’d overtightened rock and wiggle as the frame was taking too much force from the sudden drag of rocket assisted freefall full on, tearing holes in the thin cloth material, that upon reflection, could have been made more durable. But he had to do -something- he knew. As soon as the...fuel ran out. A thought that occurred to him as soon as soon as he felt the last explosive PUFTHTPGH from his boots. Yes, he was gliding as fast as a cannonball, but he’d slow down...and the Serpents would tear him to lunch. He didn’t even try to look back. So focused on the coast. Just make it to the sea. Make it to the...volley of fire that was...RUSHING UP TO MEET HIM?! He brought his arms up as two fireballs streaked past him, and he heard the screams of pain from maws that were too close behind him. He saw Shado-Pan blues and Nizao whites spilling up over the beaches and lower reaches of the dark isle, and Nix cupped his gauntetled hands to his face as he continued his streak overheard towards the sea past, and hoped when he crashed, the waters wouldn’t be eel infested. ________________________________________________________________Thanks @korivalthedarkone for the ask!

Day 2: Sunshine (Sorry for the late submission due to work and headaches)

Askran Harbor

One early morning, a single person was carry a bag containing its personal belongings, as it made its way to the harbor. The person was a green haired young woman who carries a trolley bag which is green as the trees, yet there was an image of a white pegasus with rainbow colored wings that serves as the front cover design of her green trolley bag, the woman seems to be excited for something as she began to walk fast ahead to the boat.

But then; a preteen girl whose hair was green as the woman but more brighter, ran towards her.

“Palla wait don’t go on ahead without us” cried the preteen girl

“But Nino, the boat will leave anytime soon and I can’t wait to go,” Palla pleaded in excitement. 

The girl that Palla called was Nino, who is a young preteen mage who always ‘do her best’ in battles or even in some activities that they are assigned too. And right now she is with Palla, carrying her blueish violet knapsack with a plush wolf keychain on her zipper

“You have to patient Palla, our leader is still waiting for Karel you know” responded Nino in a strict tone

“Alright” sighed the older Whitewing Pegasus Knight in defeat

Within four seconds, Their leader arrived with Karel who carries a duffle bag in his hand.

Karel is a long raven-haired Swordsman who wields a demonic sword, called Wo-Dao and the only male of an all-girl team consist with a Pegasus knight, a green mage and their leader who is a half-dragon.

Their leader however was a white-haired young lady whose age was around twenty-two years old and was revered as the ‘Fateful Princess’ by everyone in the kingdom and the community, her title was shared with her twin brother Corrin who is alternatively called as the ‘Fateful Prince’.

Their leader was called Corrine, the twin sister of Corrin and one of the children of Lady Mikoto.

Today she gathers her fellow team members to ride on the ferry boat, heading towards a resort that was owned by the Askr committee.

 A few days earlier she was chosen to participate the Summer Gauntlet sponsored by the Askr committee, which is a challenge for the chosen participants to show their skills in Swimming, Surfing, and Water Polo. But thanks to her twin brother and the support of her team members; she won the competition and earned her trophy and at the same time she receives four seasonal passes to grant access to a beautiful beach resort located on a private island called Corona owned by the royal family of Askr.

 While riding on the ferryboat heading towards Corona island where the beach resort was located, Corrine who sat beside Nino while sitting location near the aisle, while she sat near the boat railings. In curiosity she began to look down to the railing to take a glimpse on the water’s surface.

 “Hey look dolphins” Palla pointed with excitement.

 Soon she looks up from the railings, and began to see a group of dolphins who are jumping from the water and dove back to sea swimming, But then a lone Sea-lion pup who was jumping from water and dove back in order mimic how dolphins do.

 At first it was a strange thing to see a lone sea-lion, playing with dolphins since sea-lions are rare to appear in tropical seas; But when a dolphin jumps with the sea-lion; Corrine she saw something that had astonished her, while the dolphin was still jumping as well the sea-lion, she noticed that behind the dolphin was a young woman whose hair was blue as the sea and sky, and her upper body was naked, but then she slightly noticed that she had something blue on her waist, but didn’t see her whole body because it was hidden behind the dolphin as she leapt. Soon the dolphins have dove back into the water, They disappeared alongside with a dolphin were it swam with the sea-lion and the blue haired girl.

 “That was an amazing performance” As Palla clapped her hands

“It’s beautiful” cried Nino with glee

“Impressive, dolphins” approved Karel

But for Corrine who remained there standing still with a shock look on her face

Then Nino came to her.

“Did you see that Corrine, The Dolphins must have performed this for us” exclaimed Nino who is still proud of her leader who won the Summer Gauntlet and grant access to the Corona Island for their relaxation.

But her Leader remains silent, as if she didn’t respond to the preteen’s proud compliments; instead she still remains staring at the sea where she had last seen the dolphin jump with the sea-lion and the blue-haired girl

 “What’s wrong Corrine, you seem like you seen a ghost or something?” Nino questioned their leader

 “Uh...Nino…Did you happen to see a girl swimming with a dolphin and the sea-lion?” asked Corrine who still remain staring at sea where she last saw them.

 “No, I don’t see a girl swimming with the dolphins, but just the sea-lion only, nothing else” replied Nino

 “When did you come up with that” asked Karel with an unamused look

“I just saw her, with my own eyes” cried Corrine as if she is trying tell the truth

“She has an exquisite blue hair and she’s lovely”

They remained silent for a few seconds after hearing their leader’s words.

Until Palla began to speak

 “Come on Corrine, there is no such thing as a girl who swims with the dolphins, I mean how could she swim which is so deep that you cannot see the ocean floor and who knows she might be eaten by a shark” said Palla in disbelief

 Corrine realized that Palla didn’t believe her

 “This is our vacation, Corrine”, Palla continued,

“You should be in a good mood that you’ve won and heading towards Corona is your reward for winning the competition, and the committee invited us to be with you,” exclaimed Palla who may sound happy but her tone in speaking to her leader was serious.

 “It’s just your imagination leader, it’s probably the sun is playing with your eyes” Palla said in conclusion

 “Let’s just get inside, we’re almost to the island though” said Palla in a comforting tone to reassure to her leader that it’s just her imagination.”

 As the trio return inside the boat, Corrine who still remains there, staring one last time before returning inside.

 “Palla’s right, maybe it’s just my imagination” Corrine thought as she returns inside.

 Corona Island

20 minutes later the boat had begun to dock on the island's little harbor, as the group began to head down from the boat, and took a carriage shuttle that was arranged by the committee leading to their resort. As they arrived 10 minutes later to a luxurious resort, they were greeted warmly by the staffs of the resort led by the manager who is more of a sixteen year old lady. Suddenly Corrine knew who the manager was.

 “Summoner Eva” Corrine silently muttered

 “Visitors I welcome you to Corona, the private island where you will have fun in the sun” Eva greeted warmly

 “Oh Corrine, Congratulations on winning the Summer Gauntlet” as Eva puts on the flowery garland which are white as her hair.

And soon some of the staffs had begun put the flowery garland onto the remaining her team members.

“Please let our staff show you to your quarters” responded Eva with a smile 

As the Corona’s resort staff carry their belongings to their rooms while Palla, Nino and Karel followed

Leaving Corrine with the manager.

“Excuse me, Eva” asked Corrine to the young summoner apprentice

“Yes Corrine” answered Eva

“How did you become it’s manager?” she questioned the apprentice summoner.

“I was assigned by Kiran and the committee, as a part of my training” answered Eva with a grin

 “No wonder” Corrine amused knowing that Kiran did this to the let the young summoner who is learning in managing from their head summoner.

 “But don’t worry Corrine, I promise you that I will make your Three day vacation very memorable” declared Eva

“Thanks” said Corrine with a smile

 “Come on, let’s go to your room” As Eva led her to the room where her team members are waiting for her.

 Later in the afternoon The group were at the beach having fun and relaxation at the beach, Corrine who is in the water trying to teach Nino how to swim in the sea, while her remaining members were still back at the beach with Palla sunbathing, and Karel who was practicing his sword moves using a tree branch as its substitute.

 “Ok, Nino you have to move your hands like this and then at the same time kick your feet, so it can support you while you swim” said Corrine who is teaching the preteen mage.

 “Ok...I’ll do my best” exclaimed Nino who always say those words, as she began to swim as she could. But surprisingly, she manage to swim good but not that excellent as Corrine but she manage to do a somersault and free style swimming.

 “Not bad Nino you are a fast learner to swim” said Corrine will total pride, “No wonder you are sometimes gifted not only but magic but to learn fast.”

 “Well I really do my best right?” said Nino

 “You sure did” Corrine replied back to the pious young mage.

Then a sound of splash was heard in the distance

“Hey Big sis, look” cried Nino looking somewhere in the sea

Corrine looked at the distance, and see dolphins leaping from the water and dove back again

“Dolphins, are they here to celebrate my fast learning in swimming” asked Nino to her leader

“Yeah I guess they do” replied Corrine with a smile

Nino turned her head facing to the beach, and began to call Palla’s name began to tell her that the dolphins are leaping in the air to celebrate of her performance in swimming.

 While Nino was still speaking to the Pegasus Knight who is still at the beach. Corrine looks back at the dolphins who are having fun together.

 Suddenly a sea-lion pup have leaped into the air.

 But as Corrine saw it,  She soon realized that the sea-lion that leapt into the air was the very same one that she saw earlier back the boat, when she and her team mates saw it playing with the dolphins in the sea.

 But as soon it doves back into the water, It began to jump again with a single dolphin. To her surprise Corrine began to see the blue haired girl again riding on the dolphin on its back while clinging up to its top fin. The girl seems that she’s having fun with them. But then too much of her shock, she finally see that the girl that has something blue on her waist, was revealed to be scales and she has no legs instead her body ended up in a fish tail; She knew that the sun was not playing her eyes after all.

 “A mermaid” Corrine muttered, when she the dolphin disappears into the sea with her riding to it.

 As Corrine remained silent and still staring to where she saw them, Nino came in to her.

 “Big Sis, can you teach me the butterfly stroke?” Nino asked her eagerly

 But she still stares at the distance without ever responding to her answers.

“What is it Corrine, you saw the girl playing with the dolphins again” asked Nino

 “Yes”, her leader replied in a shocked tone but it wasn’t an outburst or anything.

“But that’s not a human girl” Corrine continued “but a mermaid”

“Really!” cried Nino in surprise and excitement

“Yes, I really saw her, she is a mermaid” The half-dragon replied in a slight surprising tone.

 “I don’t know, Big sis but do you think they exist?” said Nino in a little disbelief

 “Wait you don’t believe me” said Corrine as if Nino was betraying her.

 “I believe you, it’s just that I don’t know if they exists, If they do I want to befriend one” said Nino wishing for that to happened, which makes Corrine smiles a bit.

 “Come on, Big sis teach me to do the butterfly stroke so, I can swim with you” Nino pleaded to her.

“Okay, Nino let’s do this” replied Corrine with confidence.

 As the afternoon days go by, the sun began to set and Corrine’s team are packing up their beach items and heading back to the resort. Karel went up ahead, alongside with Palla while Nino and Corrine were the last ones to follow them.

 Nino was waiting for her leader while she still putting her things in her hand bag, and after a while she told Nino go on ahead and she will catch up to her. With that said Nino went ahead of her leaving her own. After putting all her things in her beach handbag, she began to walk to the direction where Nino used when she heads back to the resort.

 Soon Corrine stopped at her tracks when she heard a beautiful voice.

 “Who’s singing” Corrine said to herself.

 “Why is it so calming”

 Rather than heading back, she began to follow the beautiful sound that led her into the other side of the beach.

As she keeps walking in order to follow the mysterious person singing and realized its getting dark, yet she still follows the sound; Soon she stumbled across a coastline where some huge rocks laid there some tides of water flooded the area.

 When she enters the place, she finds a beautiful young woman singing facing towards the sea. She was sitting alone on a top of a rock with her barefeet hanging in the air. Corrine was astonished to see a lone woman sitting on the top of a rock where water had surrounded the area where she sat.

 But when full moon began to rise from the sea, she finds out that the woman had a straight long hair and its color was the same as the mermaid that she saw earlier in the afternoon: The color of the sea and sky, she has exquisite slender body in which she was clothed in a sleeveless white dress and sees her skin which is beautifully fair and her voice was clear as the waters of the sea while was singing towards it.

 As Corrine continues to stare at her, the young woman stopped singing and opened her eyes which are beautifully amber colour, in which the half dragon princess find it very mysterious to her.

 When the woman realized that someone was watching her she looks down to her left and see Corrine still looking at her.

 “We’re you watching me?” she asked here cautiously

 Corrine began to snap out from her trance and began to speak

“Yes,…uh...I mean…..well… not really I just heard you singing that really echoes throughout the beach, where I was and it lure me here to find you

 The Blue-haired woman remained silent as she still stares at her

But don’t worry you have beautiful voice which is clear as the sea, yet it enchants me” Corrine reassures her, that she isn’t lying

 “I thought so,” she said with a small smile on her face.

 “What were you singing to the sea” asked Corrine

 “I was singing to sea in hoping I will see him again” she told her as she looking to the sea again

 “See him again?” Corrine asked with curiosity

“Who”

 She began to speak “He is boy, he had saved me, and in return I saved him, soon we got along so well…that”

 Corrine began to take notice that her eyes were near to with tears

 *Sniff* “I want to see him again” she began to cry silently

 “I’m sorry,” Corrine apologized to her as she climbs up to the rock and sat next to her and stroking her back.

 “Its fine...It’s just that I want to see him again” she said sadly as she wiped her tears.

 Then something came up to Corrine and began to ask her.

 “Hey listen, I’m heading back to my friends, I guess they are worried about me for being gone too long, if you don’t mind you can come with me if you want, so you can tell me more about him, ok”  

 “Sure” she answered back with a smile

 Then Corrine began to stand up and offered her hand as the woman took it and stood up and they began to walk down from the rock and back to the resort.

Side entrance that leads from the corridors to the beach (Sunshine Resort)

Nino who was still waiting for her leader near the side entrance of the resort’s building which leads to the corridors of the hotel rooms. She knew Karel and Palla are already in the room while she was still waiting for Corrine to come back.

 “What’s keeping her so long” she asked and decided to head back to the beach to look for her, but when she was about to do it, her leader came back with her things and Nino sighed in relief knowing her leader was safe, but shortly afterwards she was surprised to see her leader bringing a woman wearing a beautiful white dress.

“Corrine, who is this lady,” asked Nino who become curious about her newfound friend

 “Oh, I found her sitting by the rock singing to the sea” Corrine explained to her Preteen Team member

 “And why did you bring her?” preteen asked her again

 “Well it’s complicated, she could be lost or something, so I decided to bring her with me so she could be protected and needed a company” Corrine answered her question.

“Ok” replied Nino

 “Come on, let’s go back to our room, I guess Palla and Karel are wondering where we are” as she brings Nino and the lady inside.

 The Summer Suite Room of Sunshine Resort

When they returned to their suite room, Palla and Karel were in complete surprise that not only that Corrine and Nino came back, but they also brought in a woman who is very strikingly beautiful. They asked where they found her and their leader answered back ‘That she was lost and need some protection’ and she declares that she will remain with them temporary, until she will be found by someone.

 With this, they become very hospitable to their mysterious visitor by letting her stay with them and spend time in their summer relaxation holiday.

 One night when her team members are soundly asleep in the rooms that has beds that was within the suite room,

 Corrine who is still awake began to uncover the bedcovers of her bed and head towards the other bed that was need the window where the unknown lady was supposedly sleeping instead she finds her still awake looking at the window where she can see the ocean.

 “Hello” Corrine greeted her mysterious guest.

 “Oh, hello” she greeted her back while she still staring at the night ocean.

 “Why are you still awake” Corrine asked

 “I’m praying to the stars” she answered

“Really” said Corrine with fascination,

“Are you wishing to the stars” The half-dragon princess asked her again

“Wish?” The Lady asked in curiosity, “What is that?”

 Then Corrine began to explain that ‘a wish is feeling of a strong desire that could be attainable or not,

But when the lady heard the word ‘not’ she became sad, knowing that her wish will never been attained meaning she will never see him again.

 Suddenly Corrine remembers when the lady mentions about ‘him’ and began to recall the first meeting with her by the sea, and wanted to know more about ‘seeing him again’.

 “Hey don’t be sad I’m sure your wish will come true somehow” Corrine comforted the blue-haired lady as she began to ask something about ‘seeing him’

 “Can you tell me about this someone you were hoping to see?”

“Ok, then” she answered back as she began to tell her tale.

 After long hours of hearing her story, Corrine began to yawn as she feels sleepy.

“Would like me to stop there, you seem tired” the lady asked in concern.

“Yes, you can tell me some tomorrow” said Corrine as she began to walk to her bed and place the bedcovers over her body. Then the blue-haired lady walk to her bed and began to sing a beautiful lullaby which is all about the sea, in which Corrine will fall asleep hearing her beautiful voice which is clear at the sea.

 The Next Morning when Corrine woke up and sees the bed were the lady slept last night was empty, she wonders where did she went off too. As she gets out of her bed and began to head out of her bedroom and sees her companions getting ready for their island hopping,

 “Morning, Leader” Palla greeted to Corrine

“Morning, Palla” She greeted her back

 “Did you guy see her” she asked to her team members

The Demonic swordsman shook his head, While Nino replies with a no.

 Palla, however reply with a yes, who told her leader that she just went home because she has something important with her family, but she reassures them that she will come back this night.

 “I guess it’s something urgent with her family” Nino told her leader

 “Yeah, we should not mingle with her personal business with her family” Karel added his words with Nino.

 “I supposed your right” Corrine agreed with a sigh

 “For now we are preparing for Island hopping” exclaimed Palla with excitement, “I’ve heard that we are going to a motor boat and go to three islands where there is sand and the sea”.

 “Yeah, I’ve heard from Lord Eliwood, that he tried that with Ninian, Roy and Catria, he said it was amazing” Nino added with excitement.

 “Ok then, let us prepare to-

 Suddenly Nino’s stomach was heard.

“Sorry, I think I’m hungry already” said Nino with embarrassment

Then Palla responded after hearing her pious mage stomach grumbled

“Well, since we are hungry, let us head down to eat breakfast and head back to our rooms, for a time to prepare.”

 Somewhere in the Sea

After eating breakfast and their thirty-minutes of preparing for island hopping, the group have already assemble in the coastline harbour, where the boatman led them to the electric-sailboat and assisted everyone to get on board and began sailing to three different islands found in the Corona region. While sailing into the seas, Nino began to love the feeling of the sea breeze while wearing her lavender sundress, as she felt her little green hair getting blown by the wind, While Palla who wears her swimsuit and a shawl on her waist, who is basking in the sun combined with the feeling of the ocean breeze. While Karel remain inside the shade of the boat, who dislikes to feel the strong exposure to the sun, even though he is wearing Blue rash guard with black shorts and his long hair was tied up in a braid by Palla to much of his chagrin, As for Corrine she was wearing her white swimsuit with a tied knot in the middle and in her waist was frilly white swim skirt that looks a bit girly according to Karel, but she likes it in the end.

Then she hold onto the boat railings and began looking out at the sea, She saw that the sun at up high and the sea began to sparkle with its light making the sea with a beautiful scenery. Though she was distracted by the beautiful scenery. Something had caught her eye whether sun was playing her vision or was she imagining things.

In front of them was an orca jumping and diving back into sea, with its back facing down, At first it was a spectacular view for them to witness this rare occasion, but when the second orca jumps, Corrine noticed that in its back was the very same mermaid from yesterday, riding on it back while clinging on its top fin.

 “Everyone Look” Corrine cries out as she points her finger towards the orca that jumped where the mermaid was riding on.

 But when her team members tries to look, but they cannot see well, because the sun’s ray became too bright and the sea was fused with its light making sparkled and it became hard to see, if they witness the mermaid was riding on the orca or not.

 Soon the Orca disappears with her.

 “Nice one, Corrine you just saw a second orca jump and it dove back beautifully,” Palla cried out with glee.

 Corrine who had lost in words knowing Palla just saw the orca only, rather the mermaid, on its back, she began to ask the Pegasus knight.

“Did you see something else, like someone riding on the orca’s back”  

 Palla shook her head

 “Nope, I don’t see someone riding on it, just the orca only” replied Palla

 “I....See….” Corrine replied sadly, knowing Palla will not believe her or Karel either. For Nino it’s hard for her to tell, whether she was what she was looking for, or not.

 Instead she remain silent as they reached to their first destination

 Throughout the remaining day they have fun playing in the water, in first island while on the second island the boatman led them to a special cuisine, that serves seafood and meat which serves as their lunch. But when they reach to the third and last island, they spent the remaining hours of collecting shell and walking at the seashore with the sun that is often bright.

 When Corrine walks in seashore alone, she reencounters the same sea-lion pup alone with its head and half of its body being stuck on the sand. As if it wants to get out from being stuck in the sand. Soon the half-dragon princess began to go near the sea-lion pup who got stuck, and decided to help it.

 Unbeknownst to her, someone was watching her from the sea behind the rock.

 After few minutes of pulling, the pup manage to break free from being stuck in the sand and then being carried by Corrine in her hands

 “You okay” Corrine asked to sea-lion pup in a concern tone,

 Then the Sea-lion nodded its head as if it can understand her language

 “Oh Good, I thought you might not breathe while your head got stuck in the sand” Corrine replied gratefully.

 As she wipe the sand on the sea-lion’s face and puts it down near the waters.

“You have to go now” said Corrine, “I guess your kin will be worrying about you”  

 As she turned her back and began to head back to the others, leaving the sea-lion pup alone.

 The witness who saw everything from the sea, began to call the Sea-lion as it head back to the water, after settling the sea-lion pup in its arms; the witness dove back into the sea.

 After returning to the Main Island and heading back to their suite room for cleaning themselves as they prepare to for their supper cuisine, Afterwards, they began to do their own free time, roaming the resort, going to the resort’s café or walking by the beach.

 Nino went to hotel’s own library with Palla for another reading lesson with Whitewing Pegasus knight, while Karel returns to the suite room for him to rest. For Corrine however decided to head for the beach for her to recall the same sight that she encountered from yesterday and today,

 Beach at Night

As she approaches to the seashore where the moon had rose from the sea, she began close her eyes, trying to recollect the memories that she encountered, the strange sightings of the mermaid, playing with dolphins and whales, the mirage visitor that comes at night, and the same sea-lion pup that got caught stuck in the sand. She wonders if this is all her imagination or if the sun was playing tricks on her eyes. But for now she needs to learn a bit

 Suddenly, something began to approach towards Corrine

“Who’s there” Corrine barked out towards the person who is approaching her. “It’s just me” said the person behind the rocks,

 The person began to step out from the rock’s shadow; and realized in front of her was the same girl from last night wearing the usual sleeveless white dress, and her blue long hair had swayed back and forth by the evening cool breeze and her glowing amber eyes gazing on her.

 “You”, Corrine said in a whisper

“Are you surprised that I’m here?” she asked

“Yeah a bit” Corrine answered back

 “Why are you here, alone?” she asked

 “Oh, I got a lot of things in my mind lately” Corrine responded as if she got tired from thinking alone

 “Like what?” she asked

 “Well you see, when I first came to this island I encountered a strange phenomenon coming from the sea.” The half-dragon began to explain all of her strange encounters that she find yesterday and today.

 After explaining everything to the mysterious blue-haired lady, then blue haired girl began to speak.

 “So none of your friends, ever believe that you saw a real mermaid in front of your eyes” as she tries to get it straight from the girl’s words.

 “Yes” she said sadly

“Hmm…” sighed the mysterious lady

 They remain standing there in silence, but the only thing they can hear was sound of the ocean waves

 The Corrine began to break the silence

“Hey, can you continue the story that you left off” she asked politely

“Of Course” The Blue haired-lady replied.

 As 2 hours have passed the Mysterious visitor finished her story.

 “So you were looking for a man named Corrin right?” the half-dragon princess asked 

“Yes, I met him fifteen years ago, he saved me and I saved him, we became friends for a short time, when it’s time for me to head home. We say our goodbyes to each other and then I went home with my family, but he moved away from the village where we lived together as friends, Throughout the years I prayed to the stars if I will see him again” then Blue haired-lady finished her explanation.

 “I see” Corrine said in speechless.

“Well I do have a twin brother who is also named Corrin” said the half-dragon

“You do” the lady responded with a hopeful shine in her eyes.

“Yes he is my sweet older twin who always loves to help and protect people” Corrine describes her twin sibling

After hours of talking, The Mysterious lady now fuelled with hope, decided to leave early

 “I have to go now” she said as she stands up and began to walk to the other side of the Sea coast

“Aren’t you going to stay for the night with us” Corrine offers the request to stay for the night  

The Lady stopped at her tracks

“Thank you Corrine, I appreciate your humble offer to stay for the night but I have to decline your offer” she answered

 “Why can’t you stay, it’s just for one night and you can leave tomorrow” asked Corrine who wanted her to stay so she can talk more about her.

 “I’m sorry my family told me, that I have to be home early, they scolded me yesterday when I arrived home one morning and they asked me where I was. When they learned what happened to me they forbade not to spend the night with you. They are worried about me much.” She said sadly

 “Will I see you again, tomorrow?” Corrine asked

 “I don’t think so; I have always stayed home and play with my friends during day time, it is because I’m watching the house while my parents are gone” answered the blue-haired girl in sadness knowing she wanted to spent more time with her and her friends and learning more from them.

 “I’m sorry” she apologizes

 “It’s Okay”, said Corrine as if she is very disappointment to see her off

 “Good bye” The blue haired woman waved to Corrine as the half-dragon wave back to her.

 After Corrine watches her go she decided to head back to their suite room to prepare for tomorrow: Heading Home.

 Sunshine Resort (Lobby)

Around 10 am Corrine, Palla, Nino and Karel are now at the Sunshine Resort lobby with all their bags, waiting for their shuttle carriage to bring them to the harbor and then ride the boat, home to Askr Kingdom.

 While waiting for their shuttle ride, Eva came to them

“Are you heading back to Askr Kingdom” asked Eva

“Yeah it’s sad that the trip only last for three days, and we could have stayed more for the fun” Palla said in a slight disappointment

 “But at least we manage to make our vacation very memorable for us to remember” said Nino As she began to pull out her special camera that she obtained as a gift from Robb (known as Male Robin).

 Here, she clicked her camera on and she began to show Eva and Palla, the pictures that she took during their trip. She showed them, the pictures that she took, when they are riding the ferry going to the island, to the time

they had fun in the beach, including one when she was taught by Corrine how to swim (Which was taken by Palla).

And then she also show some pictures taken from their island hopping and somewhere from the hotel.

 “You seem to have a lot of memories to keep Nino” said Palla with a proud look in her face.

“Oh yeah, I have something to show you” said Nino as she clicked the forward button of her camera

Here, The camera photo of the sun rising in the sky had shift into a video clip of a white light coming from rocks near the sea.

“Uh…Nino?” Eva asked “when did you took this”

“This early morning,” answered Nino as she began to tell her experience.

“When I was having my morning walks and taking pictures, I stumble across a white light coming from the rocks near the sea and I decided to go there and take a video, thinking that the sun had begun to rise,”

 “Let me play the video”

Then she clicked the camera’s play button and it began to play the a thirty second video clip, showing a massive white light that shone behind the huge rocks near the sea, and around 10 seconds the light began to fade into nothingness ending the video clip.

 “That’s a strange phenomenon you took Nino, that’s amazing” Palla cried out in amazement

 ‘Thanks Big sister Palla” replied Nino with a Smile

 As the two green-haired girls are still chatting. Corrine who is  still in thoughts of what happened to the mysterious visitor, that she talked and hang out two days ago and she still recalls her beautiful voice, her exquisite beauty, her beautiful long hair with the colors of the sea and sky and also her mysterious amber eyes that she felt strange on her soul. 

Moreover than that, she still remembers the visitor form a hopeful smile on her face when I mention my brother’s name and she said that she will him soon, but she will have to wait when the time comes for her to go and find him. I assumed that she lives in Corona as the daughter of village leader, and she’s working hard for her to go anywhere.

Her thoughts were stopped when Eva came to her holding a package in her hands,

“Corrine,” Eva began to speak to the half-dragon. “There is a lady, who came to me and gave me this package” as she hold the cloth wrapped package upfront. “She said, give this to Corrine” 

Corrine knew that the package that Eva had was from the girl who had a clear voice.

 “Thanks” Corrin replied as she accepted the package from the Manger, and at the same time the Shuttle had arrived to take them to the harbor.

“Well you need go, now” said Eva

After loading their belongings to the shuttle, the group entered the bus and began to wave goodbye to Eva as they are taken to the harbor heading home.

Corona Harbor

When they arrived to the harbor , Corrine began to wonder why did the mysterious visitor that she befriended gave her a package, which is covered in a green cloth and was wrapped properly also it smells like a salty seawater.

As she walked towards the ferry boat, Corrine began to see the ocean where the sun was already high in the sky meaning it’s going to be noon and hot. Shortly after viewing the sun and the sparkling ocean, she enters the boat and sat near the railings where the ocean can be seen in view. While sitting there, she heard a splash coming from the sea as she looked down she saw the same sea-lion which she saved yesterday, in its mouth was bottle and inside was a scrolled message.

The sea-lion jumped into the air as Corrine manage to grab the bottle as the sea-lion goes back to the water and swam away. Holding both package and the message bottle, she began to think why did the lady gave her a package and the sea-lion, a message in a bottle.

As the ship began to leave Corona harbor to Askran Harbor, Corrine began to look into her left and sees Nino sleeping with her bag as a pillow. With her teammates sleeping, she opens the bottle and shakes it as the letter was removed and then she opens it and began to read.

Dear Corrine

When you read this letter, I know that you are going back home with your friends right. If so then I will miss you so much. I’m sorry that I turned down your offer for staying with you and your friends last night, because I told you ‘that my parents are worrying about me right?’ To tell you the truth the reason I turned down your offer is that my parents are worried about me for not being home in the bottom of the sea where I lived.

 At first Corrine didn’t understand the letter that mysterious lady wrote to her about.

Soon she continues to read her letter

 Do you remember When I said this to you ‘that I have always stayed home during the day time, either I’m playing with friends and sometimes looking after the house while my parents are gone’ The truth is I never went out to surface because my beloved father and mother are the rulers of the kingdom beneath the sea and they always go to official duties in ruling and attending councils almost every day. I remain at home in my father’s  palace for my protections of sorts and when I mean playing with my friends, I played with Poppy’s friends who is an orca and a dolphin.

 Poppy is my sea-lion companion that you help her pulling her head out from being stuck in the sand. Poppy is often careless when she jumps out of the water and dove back without knowing where she was heading. I was going to the shore to get her out until I realized you were coming to the place to where I was, then I hid myself in the sea behind the rock to see you pulling her head out of the sand for me. I thank you for that.

 Soon Corrine recalls all her encounters that she witnessed the dolphins and orcas jumping and diving in the sea with the sea-lion jumping with them and remembers the mermaid that she saw, riding on the dolphin‘s back and sometimes orca’s. she wonders if the mermaid and the mysterious lady were connected

As she was still reads letter, she realized it was her all along.

“Corrine, when you said that your friends don’t believe that you saw a mermaid playing with the dolphins and sometimes with the orca and you also said that one of your friends says that your eyesight vision were playing tricks by the sun. The truth is…I am a mermaid, a sea princess of the sea kingdom of Valla I came on land to test out the legs that I perform magic with my mother’s pendant. And also The Sun isn’t tricking your eyes, what you witness is true and I’m an actual mermaid. My name is Aqua, I am the crown princess of Valla and the daughter of the siren queen Arete and Merking Cratos. It’s nice meet you Corrine, I hope that one day I will see you again along with your brother who shares the same name as the my savior that I met when I was little. The package I gave you is a shell flute which is a gift of gratitude for helping Poppy out.

I hope that I will meet you again someday when The sun will rise once again

Love from the seas that I called home   Princess Aqua of Valla Kingdom

As Corrine finish reading the letter. She began to open the cloth wrapped package and inside was the shell flute.

 Soon she stood up from her seat and head towards the starboard of the ferry boat, and began to play the flute to create a harmonious sound combining hers and the ocean breeze, Shortly after playing her flute she began to hear a clear and beautiful voice singing in the sea, the same voice she heard when she sang her a lullaby about the sea. As she looked down at the railings, she saw the sea-lion pup who she knew it was Poppy who rose to the surface swimming alone but then something is coming towards the surface.

 Beside the Sea-lion, was the mermaid that she had witness from the day when she arrived to Corona where she first met her while she was singing on the top of rock quite alone in the moonlight singing to the sea. She rose to the surface still swimming beside Poppy, Then Corrine began to wave at her, as she waved back in return.

 Soon someone was calling Corrine’s name as the mermaid and the sea lion disappears to the sea

 “Oh hey, Palla” replied Corrine

 “Did you see something cool.” asked The Pegasus Knight.

“No” the half-dragon replied

“It’s just sun it was playing a trick in my eyesight” she answered back with a smile.

Sermon Notes from 15/1/17 Ps Mark

From February our Chinese services will have Cantonese sermons.

CGN TV - China ETTV- Taiwan TVB Pearl- HK

Life transformed when we immerse ourselves in Jesus.

1996, pastor was preaching wherever gospel was encountered, lives transformed.

East to west. West to New England. America to Asia. Every time the gospel moves, advancement and transformation.

Now in our generation, the gospel is being brought back to Israel.

You must know what u are preaching when u receive the great commission to preach the gospel.

The gospel is Jesus and His saving grace.

We are in the end times. Glorious times.

Singapore is small but impacting nations through pastor’s ministry.

Ps Mark gonna share with us an impactful testimony today.

Fu Yan Hui whose arms were crushed, she used to be a porn addict. Her hubby suddenly divorced her in 2010. She was a minister. When you are divorced in China, u are outcast. The elders in the church pulled her off the church and threw her out. The shame and rejection was painful. The condemnation and guilt was overwhelming. Had to take care of her daughter alone. Her son was taken by her husband. She turned to porn. Immense shame. Hard for a man to share about such addiction what more a female minister. When u encounter Jesus, lives are transformed. Remember the woman at the well? When she encountered Jesus, she became unconscious of herself and conscious of Jesus. Became the first female evangelist.

The gospel tells us we cannot help ourselves. Paul says if we can save ourselves, Christ didn’t have to come down. Fu wanted to quit her addiction. The more she tried not to watch, the stronger the desire. Condemnation kills.

She couldn’t accept the gospel of grace at first. But HS told her to continue to hear. So she kept listening. When we face addiction we want to change ourselves. Confess to get it= not full revelation. It is no more your work but His work in you. She confessed from work mentality. Nothing happened. Finally understood not confessing to get it, already is!

Romans 4:25 She understood Jesus was resurrected so she was justified. She IS. Not confessing to get it. Understood Rom 10:10

We can’t save ourselves. Once we know who we are, we just speak. She fell in love with the LORD.

The only one in Simon’s house saw Jesus as the lamb of God was the lady who wept at his feet and cleaned his feet with her hair. She knew she was forgiven much so loved him much.

Fu used to listen to 8-10h of pastor’s sermons. One day she woke up and the 3y addiction was suddenly gone! Totallly delivered.

Transformation comes when we behold the glory of Jesus - transformed into His image from glory to glory. Not from self.

Not us but Christ.

Wu Chuan Dao- a minister. Said grace makes us real. Makes us not ashamed. It is the gospel. The power of God to those who believe. Not sin of man revealed but righteousness of God revealed. No longer ashamed of gospel. Will boast about our weaknesses not of ourselves. Because we are made strong in Him.

Pastors work Mon-Sat. Sunday serve in church.

When we don’t encounter Jesus, life is hard. Wu became alcoholic. Struggled to quit. Heard sermons for 2 years. Didn’t try to change himself. Just keep hearing the sermon and realised one day his sin was forgiven. He was delivered up for our deliverance. HS fell upon him. Original meaning is bear hug. He suddenly spoke in tongues and was delivered from Alcoholism the next day.

We are always worried for our kids. China also. Everywhere in the world also. But our kids are the seeds of our righteousness and are blessed. Don’t worry about them. We are blessed and our kids too. They will be delivered. No matter what problems they face now, they will be delivered.

Fu was so ashamed she couldn’t talk to her kids. Her daughter failed and did badly for school. When she came to receive grace, also showed grace to her kids.

Jesus was baptised in the lowest part Rover Jordan. He didn’t do anything but be baptised. God declared his love for Jesus. At the mountain, also declared love. Whether highest or lowest part of their lives, we parents declare love. Her daughter failed. 13/100. Fu didn’t scold her. Took her to eat Kentucky Fried chicken. Expensive. Grace is undeserved and unmerited. For our kids the power to excel is the gift of no condemnation. The daughter realise it isn’t her performance that earns her mother’s love. She is her mother’s daughter and that’s why her mum loves her. To go Sec 1, must be ranked 8 and above in class. Fu’s daughter is rank 7! Top 3 best student in terms of good conduct. Grace gives us moral excellence. Good character. Only grace can change our kids. We must let our kids know we love them for who they are. All glory to Jesus.

Business testimony.

The LORD is for u no matter what happens outside. Sometimes we can believe God for one area but not another. Yue Limei sells sea cucumbers as her work. Serves in her church on Sunday. 2014- first heard Pastor preached.

We know grace is good but when face challenges we sometimes struggle with legalism.

She had thyroid cancer and heard about how Jesus was striped so his back was shredded so that his body was broken so she could be whole. She received the revelation that she has wholeness because of Him

To hear the LORD, no sin consciousness. She heard so clearly she is the righteousness of God And oneday heard from HS she is healed. Saw a doc. She was indeed cancer free. This was in 2016

Gal3:5

Miracles and worked and supplies are provided by the hearing of our faith.

Limei received healing but felt maybe financial provision isn’t for her. Prosperity is the fruit of our pursuing Christ. We don’t pursue prosperity. Peter was after the LORD and caught net breaking load of fishes. He was not pursuing the fish.

The Hebrews before they left Egypt- all provided for and were strong and healthy. Not pursuing the provision. Going to the LORD.

Mary and Joseph could only offer doves. Tells us they were poor. Jesus was born. Wise men brought gold frankincense myrrh. Wise men pursue Jesus. And where Jesus is, provision is too.

Limei in April 2016, prices of sea cucumber plummeted. Crisis.

When we face financial crisis, know that Christ IS you solution. He has come to give us life and life more abundantly.

She saw prices dropped, she began to read the bible. Read Matthew to Revelation every day. Prayed. Fasted. Her heart wasn’t on Jesus though. Her heart was fixated on her sea cucumbers. Not to see Jesus. All she did was not for the LORD. She thought don’t help self, Jesus won’t help her. Legalistic mentality.

See Jesus in the ark, the bronze serpent, boaz saving Ruth… see the gospel. Look out for Jesus in the bible whether u read NT, OT. Come to Jesus to receive Life. Faith cometh by hearing the word of Christ. For blessings to flow, must be through Christ.

She became bitter after her own efforts had no results. But the LORD brought her to a conference in Sept.

Look for blessor. Not just for the blessings. When we have the Blessor, we also have the blessings.

153 fishes were caught by Peter’s net. He saw Jesus and jumped into the water and went after Him. As he swam to Jesus, his partner hauled in the fish. We pursue Jesus and the blessings follow.

Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things He will add to us.

Don’t worry. Worrying thoughts is the lies of the devil. See you have Jesus and rest in the confidence of faith. Those thoughts will engulf you but bring all thoughts to the captivity of Christ. Understand Christ will fight for me. He became poor to make me bless.

God says it is done, it is done.

She laboured to rest in Him and she rested. And in 20 over days, her friends saw the transformation. The telephone started ringing. The prices of sea cucumber kept rising. She didn’t look for money. Looked for Jesus. But the money came her way. Supposed to be a big loss but Jesus turned it around for His glory.

God is asking u to rest. Not inactivity. It is right believing. Right believing is that which brings right living.

The rooster died and was burned at the cross won’t come back to roost.

Esau and Jacob. Jacob tried to steal Esau’s blessings although the blessings already his. Became afraid when he encountered Esau again.

Gen 32:10,11,12

We fear. But even when afraid, pray. Remember God’s plan for us is peace and prosperity and not harm to come unto you.

Did God deliver Jacob? Yes. Even when your sin is of your own making, He will deliver u.

Don’t put your eyes on those who hurt you. Many a times our greatest hurt comes from family.

Jacob suffered under Laban. Pay changed ten times. Don’t go nuts also go nuts. Pay cut and cut and cut… how come Jacob had the right mind to continue working for Laban?

Jacob had a good opinion of God.

Gen 31:6

“Ps Mark u don’t know my wife.” “No. It is u don’t know Jesus!”

V17- Chinese Saying, people do but heaven is watching. Watch out for who, for u. Jacob trusted God.

BUT- our BUT is about changing our mindset to have a good opinion of the LORS

Darkness all around me BUT the LORD will arise and His glory will be seen on u. Isaiah 60:2

John 16:33 Tribulations BUT be of good cheer

Devil play big. God play bigger. God will do u good no matter what challenges u face.

This is the year of Jubilee. We will all be returned to our inheritance, our blessings. Restoration of our families. Possession restored, relationships restored. We belong to the Heavenly families.

As we look forward to our reunion dinner, we also look forward to our heavenly reunion

See Pic 1

17 strokes in 禧 - victory.

Hebrews 12:2

On the cross. Cross is before u knew Him and first sinned. He foresaw it and provided for it. Before Peter denied him, he washed Peter’s feet

We blow the ram’s horn and we can because of the the death of the ram.

Jesus endured the cross and took the shame on himself

Jesus has rested. He wants us to rest. He has given us His best.

Gen 8:4

Ark rested in the 7th month. Our family will be carried through our trials by Jesus and rested on the date of Christ’s resurrection. 17th day of 7th month.

All those material Blessings of Abraham are but the fruit but THE blessing of Abraham is the righteousness of God in Christ.

See Pic 2 and 3

14/4/2013 — excerpt from sermon “Why Jesus is the Answer” by Ps Prince

Keep listening and listening about Jesus and His finished work and resting. The flow will come.

#Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. He holds the Future. Life is worth the living just because He lives.

Your Tomorrow is a good day. Our strength comes from the one who gave up everything to save and bless us. Enter into this rest and be transformed. This year will be a great year for us.

What does NFT mean for the film and television industry?

Recently, Bilibili announced its first digital art avatar, Dove, and announced its official entry into NFT. Let’s start with popular science, what is NFT? It is a derivative concept of blockchain and a high-tech “certificate of ownership”, which is indivisible, irreplaceable, and unique. We can say it is digital currency, or digital collection.

The digital art avatars of pigeons released by Bilibili this time are a series of digital collections created with the help of blockchain technology, using pigeons as elements and using programmable capabilities. Each pigeon head avatar has its own independent number and has the attribute of scarcity. It is limited to 2233, of which 2000 (numbered 101–2100) are issued to users, and 233 are reserved by Bilibili (including UP master customization). payment).

In addition to Bilibili, domestic Internet giants have already begun to deploy NFTs, launch related platforms, and use the title of “digital collections” invariably. All in all, NFT, an emerging product, is beginning to popularize and will profoundly affect the development of related industries and people’s lives.

Not long ago, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said that the past year has highlighted a previously unimaginable opportunity in the world of cryptocurrencies, NFT Genrator and even Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to enhance the relationship between creators and their fans. contact. We’ve been focused on expanding the YouTube ecosystem to help creators leverage emerging technologies, including NFTs, to enhance and enhance the experience for creators and fans on YouTube. Wojcicki believes that “NFTs could be another form of income for creators.”

There is no doubt that NFT will also bring new influences to the Chinese film and television industry. The film and television industry has long faced the problem of piracy. With the popularity of large-screen TVs and projectors, it will also become a trend for people to watch movies through home theaters. How to realize the home distribution of movies is still a technical problem. In the past, people had the habit of collecting vinyl records, tapes, and CDs/DVDs. In the digital age, when film and television works lose their physical carrier and only exist in digital files, how to distribute them must be a problem. After the emergence of NFT, we can distribute film and television works like DVDs collected in the past, and we don’t have to worry about piracy. Many people hope that the tapes and CDs they collect are original, and even want to have the original author’s signature. In the metaverse era, these experiences can also be realized together.

In the past, TV stations often made DVDs of their popular programs and gave them away as gifts. My family has collected a lot of wonderful programs from TV stations all over the country, including documentaries, variety shows, and full records of major events. But now these DVDs are almost all decorations, and will not be played in the machine. In the NFT era, the excellent works of TV stations can also be made into NFT products to give away or even sell. Collectors can not only enjoy these works at any time, but also resell or give them away to others. In the process, the value of these works will not only not be discounted, but may also appreciate.

Since there are so many benefits, we should accept and do it well. However, it is worth noting that the current domestic laws have not yet made clear the transaction methods, supervision subjects and supervision methods of NFTs. At the same time, there is still the possibility of excessive speculation and even fraud in NFTs. How to maintain legal compliance and maintain innovation in such an environment also needs to be fully considered by the relevant management agencies.

For TV stations, confirming the rights to a large number of copyrighted works may be the most important task at the moment. The huge media assets of TV stations will generate huge value due to digital rights confirmation. Because of this, NFT will also affect the development strategy of TV stations, and increase the strength of independent originality in content production. Nft Development Solution Copyrighted content and independent original products are the real assets. The application scenarios that dominate the landing of these products will inevitably become the innovative products or profit-making methods of some large film and television companies. In addition, film and television dramas with NFT-marked ownership of specific assets make piracy traceable and verifiable, so there will inevitably be new changes in the distribution model of domestic film and television dramas.

The works of more individual digital art creators, especially video creators, will also be protected from dissemination on Internet platforms. NFT will promote the market-based transaction of these works and affect the payment of their fees; while increasing the income of the original creators, it will encourage the original creators to create better, and boost the development level of the industry to a new level.

It is believed that NFT will become a huge vehicle and tool, which will boost the implementation of more application scenarios in the film and television industry.

Monica Ortiz: Singer, Songwriter, and Second Album Release.

I’ve worked at the same company for awhile now and I’ve had the privilege of meeting a lot of really great people over the years. One of these individuals was a man named Andrew Dao. I got to know Andrew better over the week that he was in the office and kept in touch once he went remote. We recently reconnected via Facebook messenger and I discovered through our conversations that his mother was an amazing singer, I just had no idea how talented she really was.

I was especially excited to do this interview as I grew up listening to some of the bands that had their hand in helping create his mom’s album, like Family Force 5! I present to you my interview with Andrew’s mother, Monica Ortiz, on her music and second album release entitled, “Journey Home”.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and what got you started in music.

"I have been singing since I was a little girl, it was something that was very natural for me to do. I used to make up my own little tunes and then sing them to my family or friends. I always wanted to perform for people and share the emotions of the songs with them."  -- MO

Before we get into your current project, what was your experience with creating your first album and what inspired you to create it?

  "My first album was Humming Bird and it was all cover songs because I had to start somewhere and I was hesitant to put out my own music because, in all honesty, I didn’t have the confidence to share my original songs just yet. I knew that when I was out and about and would sing, people had nice things to say but I attributed that to the fact that they already knew whatever song I was covering."  -- MO

 I'm told your new album features music and vocals from multiple Grammy and GMA nominated/winning artists. Can you tell me who they are and how you got connected with them?

"These are really amazing stories and I am so grateful to everyone who worked on this album. The first two people that I started working with were Matt Odmark and Charlie Lowell from Jars of Clay. I met them back in 2006 when I produced the music video for their song “Work” which we won a Dove Award for in 2007. So in 2016, I asked Matt if he would produce the songs on my all-covers album Humming Bird and he brought Charlie into work on the music with him. When I decided I would put out this new album Journey Home, I told Matt I wanted it to be original songs and he took two (that he wrote with Heather Bond) out of his song vault for me and then I wrote three with Charlie Lowell. For one of the songs that Charlie and I wrote called “When Heaven Can’t Wait” (we also collaborated with Michael Gigante on it), I really wanted a certain sound on it. I tried to get a gospel choir, but it didn’t come together and then someone told me about The McCrary Sisters. I looked them up and watched some of their YouTube videos and was blown away. I reached out to their manager and I literally got the confirmation from them that they were going to sing on it the day before we recorded it. It was meant to be. They are so beautifully gifted. I also included one cover song on this album called “Let Me Be There” which was originally sung by Olivia Newton-John. We were recording my vocals for the song in the studio that day and my friends AmiBeth and Joshua Olds (Joshua is a member of Family Force 5) just happened to be visiting me in the studio. Matt Odmark said we needed to do a gang background vocal so I turned to AmiBeth and Josh and asked them if they would join us and they agreed. So the background vocals on that track are me, Matt Odmark, Charlie Lowell, AmiBeth Olds, Joshua Olds, and Matt Koziol. There is a behind the scenes video on my Instragram (@monicaortizmusic) that was captured that I love."  -- MO

Check out the artists she’s been working with:

What has the process been like bringing this album to life?

"This album took months to put together. It was such hard work pulling together musicians and booking studio time that matched schedules. There were lots of mishaps like the gospel choir falling through, not getting one of the songs recorded in the right key, the producer wasn’t in the studio one day when I was recording vocals on one of the songs and when he heard them he didn’t like my approach and then requested that I go back into the studio and fix it. And I’ll never forget that my beautiful canine companion, Cujo, passed away during the recording of this album, so when it came time to record “When Heaven Can’t Wait” it was really tough to get through it as I had cried most of the day."  -- MO

Who or what inspires your musical creativity?

"You know, when people ask me that, my answer always receives a “confused” look from them. I love music and it doesn’t matter which genre it is. If it is a great song with a great voice, great lyrics, and great music, it cuts me open and reaches in and I become attached to it. I usually go into a long, passionate speech and start naming artists off and talking about their music. My tastes span from classical to the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, all the way to the present. We are all not one thing, so how can we be expected to listen to or connect to one genre or a couple of artists?"  -- MO

When does your new album officially release and will you be playing any upcoming shows to promote it?

"Journey Home will be live to stream on April 21st. I will be performing in Nashville and we are currently working on booking shows in New York and Los Angeles."  -- MO

If you’d like to learn more about Monica Ortiz and her music, I’ll leave a link to her website and other social links below, as well as a teaser video she has on her Instagram. Go and follow her! I’d like to thank Monica for taking the time to do this interview and her son, Andrew Dao. I wish both of them the best and I can’t wait to hear the new album!
