Thread: Tears of Laughter, Tears of Joy

The wind was calm and cool in the beautiful kingdom of Deiru. The sun shined its bright rays against the cool ocean as the docks were filled with busy fishermen and customers, awaiting their purchase of the finest fish in the country. The waves crashed against the rocks and sands of the shore along with the massive boats that were anchored nearby. It was a marvelous view and was known to be a very popular romantic area. As the day grew cooler, the waves weaker, and the moon bright in the night velvet sky, the lights of the kingdom began to glow a gold-red as the sound of trumpets started to blare from the heart of the kingdom. It was time for the show of the month the Jester of Deiru the White Mage and her stunning musical enactment. The crowd was by the thousands, all perched in the seats of the coliseum-like structure. WYNN, WYNN, WYNN, WYNN, WYNN! Everyone chanted in unison as the trumpets slowly stopped. Suddenly, a gorgeous woman was lowered down by a beautifully decorated swing of lilies and vines. Her hair was as white as snow matching her dress embroidered with gold and silver. It decorated her curvaceous chest, wrist, and waist. The crown-like ornament that lay entwined with her hair and across her forehead was exquisite, marking the same color as the embroidery of her lovely dress. Wynn smiled brightly, sending an aura of happiness and passion throughout the coliseum. Everyone screamed in thrill as she landed on the ground and picked up her magnificent ebony staff with a large blue crystal ball resting on top. She parted her soft lips and began to sing a classic Deiru opera song. Her voice was of the purest essence everyones ears rang in delight as their skin formed goose bumps as tingles started to crawl up their backs. She waved her staff gently as she began to dance like silk in a spring breeze. Her movements were hypnotic as her body began to sway with the music of her voice. Her staffs crystal ball began to glow a marvelous gold as doves began to fly in the background toward the crowd. The magic coming from her staff was coming from her pure, innocent, and loving heart causing everyone to feel relaxed and stress-free. Some of the audience began to cry tears of joy as they yelled down to Wynn I love you, Wynn!!, You are an amazing person!! As Wynns voice started to gently quiet down for the performance to end, her crystal ball went back to its dark blue color and the audience became dead silent. They did not know what to say or think of the passionate and emotional performance. One man stood up and started clapping slowly, causing others to follow each other until everyone stood on their feet. Whistles were then heard as well as yells of joy and satisfaction. Wynn smiled gently up at them and bowed deeply before sitting on her swing to lift up and exit the coliseum. After everyone had left the coliseum to either go home or join the celebration at the beach, Wynn was already at the celebration awaiting the royal king and queen to arrive. As she saw them strolling toward her, she knelt on one knee and bowed her head. It has been an honor to entertain you as always my king and queen, she said softly. Her voice was very sweet like the nectar of a honeysuckle. Both the king and queen smiled and dismissed her to stand. You have been so good to our kingdom, Wynn. Deiru is lucky to have such a wonderful and passionate jester, the queen said as the king smiled and nodded in agreement. Yes, Deiru is indeed grateful. The king wrapped an arm around his wife and smiled at her, then fidgeted in his fine silk robe and took out a letter with a wax stamp of the Rohandt insignia. I was going to let my messenger give it to you before your show, but my queen and I thought it would be best to give it to you personally. The queen excitedly added, Its the invitation to the Annual Celebration of Jesters at Rohandt!! Isnt that sensational news?! Wynn jumped up with thrill then remembered to be more polite and formal to her royal king and queen. She then bowed and smiled gently. Yes, I am looking forward to the annual celebration. Ive never been to the capitol before and I think it would be lovely! she squeaked. The king and queen smiled and chuckled under their breaths, loving how innocent she was. Well, my dear Wynn, we will take our leave to the castle. Please, have fun at Deiru before you go, the queen stated before turning around to leave with her king at her side. After they strolled away and the incoming crowd bowed their respects to their rulers, Wynn was overwhelmed by how much attention she was getting from them. Wynn blushed when she received decadent flowers and cards with the smell of the finest oil perfumes. Oh how lovely! she said with a red blushing face. She didnt know what else to say and started giggling in happiness. A couple tears of joy started trickling down her face, not knowing on how appreciative her audience was toward her. -- Wynn was at the train station at the crack of dawn when the train arrived to leave for Rohandt. All aboard, the train attendant yelled out as some folk started to make their way into the large train. She was one of the first to step in and she picked out a comfortable booth near the back, when another attendant politely grabbed her attention. Excuse me, Wynn. You are to come to the very front in the royal seating. You are our guest since you are invited to the Rohandts annual celebration, he said with a dashing smile. Wynn blushed and smiled shyly as she followed him through the narrow walkway that separated the seats. She looked in the royal chamber of the train and peeped out a little noise of surprise. Oh my heavens! Wynn couldnt believe that there was a comfortable bed waiting for her along with a mirror and dresser, all made with the finest oak of the east kingdom. She jumped on the bed and buried her face in the pillow. The attendant blinked in surprise of her reaction then smiled politely before taking his leave. -- One day later, Wynn finally arrived at Rohandt, the exquisite capitol of their country. She fixed her hair and clothes before walking out of the train. She almost tripped from looking up at the high statue of Rohandts robust king. Thats their king?? She asked herself. She gaped at it for a while as some people whispered at each other for how silly she looked at the nude statue. An elderly woman stepped up to her slowly and said, Never saw a naked statue before? Hes pretty good looking eh? She nudged her. If I was as young as you, Id jump his bones and-- Before the woman could finish, her granddaughter rushed over and apologized with embarrassment, then quickly walked her over to the next train arriving. Wynn was very embarrassed herself and quickly walked away toward the streets, trying to decipher all the street names and to figure out if there was any sign pointing toward the celebration. She was starting to get apprehensive and wasnt sure if she would be able to find her destination in time.
