"Maeia stood and walked to the end of the garden, stopping before a wooden door under the covered colonnade. She never knew what to expect on the other side of that door in answer to her queries, or what country or era. She paused to form the question in her mind:

Who were you?

After a minute or so holding that question in focus, she pushed open the door, revealing the bustling forum of an ancient city long gone, its rooftops and soaring columns radiant under the morning suns. She recognized this place from the oldest memories she carried: it was the original city of Mons, capital of an ancient continent that had disappeared under the waves a thousand years ago. The mummy, though, was at least two thousand years older than this place in its heyday, but she knew there would be a clue here about its identity, hidden somewhere in this time."

“I…I..” he stammered, unable to find words for what he was experiencing.

These are not your past,” she said gently, “these are all you, now, in this moment.” She let go of his hands. “You will not remember it all, but you will remember the feelings and the longings, the love and companionship. They will carry you to fulfill your purpose.”

“I don’t want to leave,” he tried to say, as the beautiful scene slowly faded then disappeared.

Lukas found himself back at the gathering in the temple with the Amaranthine, unaware of the angry crowd around him. He felt the fog descend over his mind once more and it saddened him. Falling to his knees, he looked up into her eyes as she reached down to touch his cheek.

“Always remember, Lukas, you only see what you're looking for. When you want only love, you will see nothing else.”

Someone asked to see a PBR mirror in Opensim so here's mine. Use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.10.75913 and make sure mirrors are enabled in your graphics settings. You can find the instructions to make your own here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o

The Lotus Club is now available at the Emporium! Modeled after the original club at Luxor, this one comes fully loaded with accessories and can be modified and copied. The base size is 160m x 110m. Click on the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display area.

Teaching myself pbr materials. Very different process to get those materials into OS. This is the clearest comparison yet of the difference between legacy materials and pbr materials. The one on the left was the best I was able to do with regular materials using only the original diffuse, normal, and specular textures. The one on the right uses all the original textures and shows them correctly.

The second phase of the Egyptian Display area at Lunaria Emporium is now open, which includes the smaller items such as statues, columns, flora, and the small temple. Some of the items are free and full perm. The third phase will be the completion of the pyramid that's there.

After many requests, I've added a new Egyptian area to my store Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Most of the large items are ready, except for the pyramid club which is nearly done. There are a few smaller items ready but there will be many more of those to come and some will be free. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to teleport there.

Chapter 9 - The Oracle, from my book Eos Renascent, is now on Wattpad. You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

"The ambassador bowed her head with a look of sorrow. 'Then I am lost and do not know the way forward in this world,' she replied.

'You do not want this world,' the Oracle replied in a softer tone. 'The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Love cannot be taught or learned, for there was never a time when you didn't know it. It is all-encompassing, forming the essence of what you are. Your journey will end when you have recognized all that Love is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone.' ”

All Decor has been permanently reduced half price. These are not my main business - venues and architecture are, but I create pieces to go with each of the structures as I work on them. Thought it would be nice to pull all these together in one place.
