Kya stood tall with her hair shining like gold in the sunshine.  Her long waves of hair had been neatly captured in an ornate clip that matched Keyan’s harness colors, she was wearing an embroidered dress, carrying a small pack and wearing her orb over her left shoulder and secured on her back.  She stood proud next to Keyan whose head was even with her hips, happy to be with him and comforted by his presence.  Keyan was looking up at his lady with loving eyes, waiting for the signal.  Both women and beast taking in the scene like snapshots to remanence about over a tea at some later date, at a time when there wasn’t such a hurry to start.

If you sit quietly and listen
You will find that the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings
Can be heard
Keeping your attention on the marvel
You will find that you can hear the butterfly sip nectar

The butterfly doesn’t mind that you listen or watch
She, in fact likes it a lot
And when you are caught
Don’t be surprised if she dances around you
Just out of arms reach
Showing you her lovely markings
Capturing you in her spell

It is said that if you whisper to her your wish
She will take it with her in flight
Bringing your wish to the highest authority
And sometimes it makes it all the way
To be heard
…and it happens
It is the wishes that are for the benefit of all
That seem to come true…

Here’s the first graphic of an idea for the Ladies of the Orb series.   I created this one in the wee hours of the morning of 27 Sept 09.  I like the plants, ivy, pillars and the hazy effects.  I also like the hair but maybe it should be longer.  I think in the next graphics that I will include the wildcats that are spoken about in the stories.   I enjoy input, so let me know what you think.
