Once upon a time, there was a lovely Princess, a lone Wanderer, and six fearsome Warriors. They heard about the Legendary Diamond of the Night, and they decided to set out on a quest for finding it. They decided on a gathering place, where all of them coming from different countries could meet. When everyone came together, the Princess told them that a little Fairy is about to come, too, to help the adventurers on the difficult journey. So did came the little Fairy, but she was wounded and she couldn't escort the heroes no further than next fork in their road. There she gave them her good wishes, and cast them a lucky smile before dissapearing from the sight of the group.

The brave party first visited the Garden of the Millenia, said to built by people of a thousands years before time. There, they met a prince and a princess, they were eager to join the quest once they heard about the Diamond of the Night. In the Garden was the Dome of Miracles, the first place our heroes visited in search of clues for the mighty diamond. The Dome held many trials they should face, like getting the egg of a griff through the magical ring, composing magical music in the Room of Noises, even test their strength and stamina in body challenges. The prince of foreign land has succeded great triumph in outrunning his opponents. But after all these hard trials solved, they found no trace of the diamond. So they moved on.

Just on the opposite side of the Garden towered the heights of the Mansion of the Future. They entered with fear in their heart, not knowng what could await them. There the young adventurers met with their distant future. While the challenges before was for the body, these were for the mind, juggling with numbers and tricky questions. Successfully beaten the tests, they gained Enchanted Seeds, and the fabulous Washing Nut. With these treasures in their pack, they carried on with their journey. The Prince and Princess of foreign lands have decided to go on their own way, and thus left the party.

But no hero could do great things with an empty belly, and this was no different with our party. Set our for finding food, they came about a hen stall, and had some roasted chicken to fill their stomach.

It wasn't sooner then the journey came to a fork in their road. The brave Warriors wanted to try themselves in the lowest depths of the legendary Labirinth, but the Princess already knew all about it, and she felt the darkness calling her from far away. The Wanderer, not letting the princess go alone, escorted her on the series of dark tunnels with mysterious noises. Once arrived, they surfaced in a forest. It was a dark and fearsome forest, with bandits hiding everywhere in the bushes, so they had to be very careful on their way. But soon they were standing in the entrance of the Deep Darkness Castle. The Princess and the Wanderer, still feeling the calling, entered the castle. In there, was the deepest, blackest darkness anybody could ever imagine, it penetrated their eyes, ears, and their hearts. The Wanderer soon became distressed, but with the kind guidance of the Princess, they soon passed through the rooms, and saw the light of the night again.

A pigeon landed before them, carrying a message of the Warriors, that they completed the Labyrinth, and found out that the Diamond could be found in Asia, and suggested to assemble the party again there. With this great news, the Princess and the Wanderer set out for finding Asia, which they soon did after a lengthy walk, even arrived there before the brave Warriors could set feet on the land.

In Asia, they found many artifacts, paintings, and many thing that caught the eye, but the Diamond was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately the time was up, and while they haven't exactly found what they were looking for, they all agreed that they spent a very good time together. With this in their heart, everyone began their journey to their homes, the lone Wanderer escorting the Princess to her castle, where she could finally get her good nights sleep. After having the Princess in safety, the Wanderer set out on a pilgrimage for finding a place to stay, touched by the morning lights...

Hello!

I haven't wrote here a long time.. Sorry about that ^^;;;

So now, I though why not post about my new goodies :)

Recently we started to learn calligraphy at the language school. It was hard first, but now we got used to it, and I think all three of us enjoy it very much (including Nyekk and Padi). I have fun while writing them. Here you can see my "kit":
a colorful fudemaki (okey... it's a plate liner from ikea ^^;;)), a Japanese brush (horse fur ^^ gosh i sound like it's a wand.. 12" long Japanese cherry with horse fur filling... lol), yeah.. my 四, and Chinese ink :).
Hm... while I went to buy Asian food accesories at a Japanese-Korean shop with Mom and Nyekk, we found metal chopsticks. These chopsticks are used in Korea. I found them more hygienic than bamboo or plastic sticks, and they are a lot more beautiful :) They are also more flat, not cylindric like Japanese or Chinese ones. I like using them :) (the upper ones are normal wood sticks that I used before)

Have you ever saw people playing these devilsticks? They are good for juggling :) people who could playe them always amazed me, and while I studied this summer i kept playing with my pen, so I figured I should get one, maybe i could learn it too. So far, I'm only a beginner, adn can't spin it, but it's a lot of fun :) I got these from my Mom, who found them interesting enough to buy them for me. The Nintendo DS lite it for size comparision.


And lastly :) The special things I got from Nyekk out of kindness ^^ Thanks Nyekk!!
This hammer.. lol.. is a present from his vacation :) you know how characters in anime got a hit by a colorful hammer when they are acting stupid? That's a hammer everyone would want :D but we couldn't find it anywhere. It makes that sound 'poiin'. Now, this little.. well not so little hammer makes that sound too :D I got hit by Mom when she found it... -.- it can be handy when you feel "aww, that was sooo stupid of me".. then you can hit yourself.

And I wanted to show it last, because it's so fantastic ^^ Can you see the lamp at the right corner? It's a present from Nyekk :) it is made from rice-paper, therefore has a very Asian look :) It goes well with my kotatsu & futon pair :) Thank you Nyekk ^^
Hm.. you can see my brush again on this picture, hanging on the wall :DD i put it there to dry :) Next to it, on the left side is (Caroline Corr)-head and (Andrea Corr)/2 XD
On the kotatsu is my new laptop, a HP pavilion dv5. I'm using a Samsung 22" wide monitor :D dorama-watching-perfection ^^
and my beginner 四 kanji :))
Oh, that green thingy on the right side is a dust-collector :D not that it helps.. really.


Nowadays I'm reading the Twilight saga, currently reading 'Eclipse' and waiting for the e-mail, that informs me to go and get 'Breaking dawn' from the bookstore. I never thought I would like it, but hey, it was the same for Harry Potter. And you might know that I'm a huuuuuge fan of that story :D Btw... Harry Potter.. the new movie's gonna be out in 3 daaaaaays ^^Y

So... we totally forgot to tell you about the museums' night :D sorry about that. I think I will be a bastard and let this pleasure to be fullfilled by Nyekk :D your turn mate :DDD

PS: recently I got called Rita again, which means my teachers always mix me up with the names Rita or Reka. So far it's ben a 2-2 showdown, if I remember right. To be frank I like them more than my actual name, so I told my Mom she should call me Rita. Then I got to know that if I had a younger sister, her name would have been Rita.. why on earth couldn't she think of that name before??? I think I would be more pleased with Rita :D
