MAES GWYDDNO (KOED-M.G)
Maes Gwyddno is being ruled by Atalanta Lust-Rios and Adam Rios. The realm lies between the kingdom of TAK and KOED, of which Atalanta and Adam hail.
The Rebirth of Maes Gwyddno - The wedding gift for Atalanta Lust and Adam Rios.... from the kin
Beneath the waters of Cardigan Bay there lays a stretch of fertile land that was once teeming with mammal life. Now this same sunken land houses another vast species of life; crustaceans hidden in the entanglement of lush kelp and colorful coral. According to the Black Book of Carmarthen, this land is referred to as Maes Gwyddno and was lost to the floods when a well-maiden named Mererid neglected her duties and allowed the drinking well to overflow. Sailors claim that during their late night voyages, the church bells of Cantre′r Gwaelod are said to ring out in times of danger from far beneath the depths of their watery grave. Also known as Sarnau, the natural ridge formations stretch several miles into the sea at right angles to the coast, and are located between each of the four river mouths in the north of Cardigan Bay. The lichen covered rock foundations of the ancient city can be seen from the highest tower in Atlantis, surrounded by a palisade of ledge. The vista of 5,000 year old petrified oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel tree stumps preserved by the acid anaerobic conditions in the flooded soil is revealed at low tide as a haunted reminder of its past.
Nyghtwolfe often found this scenic view inspiring as she stood in the solitude of her castle. She marveled at the archeological importance of its ancient history. Prehistoric civilization thrived there once to rival that of Atlantis. Whereas both mystical Islands had been sunk to the bottom of the ocean, Atlantis had been raised in revival, while its twin Island remained submerged. The Gangrel goddess hadn’t thought much else about it until she received a text message from her dearest friend Desdemona of the KOED realm. It was a bit of a surprise to learn that Adam had finally gotten hitched to the stunningly beautiful Atlanta. Those two had been in a whirlwind romance for quite some time. Nyghtwolfe texted back to Des how happy she was for the both of them, and a bit disappointed to have not been invited as a guest at their wedding. Des conveyed an interest in obtaining a wedding gift of some great significance to bestow upon the newlywed couple. This text conversation continued back and forth until it was decided that the two women friends would set up a luncheon date and meet with each other in person.
Nyghtwolfe showed up at the appropriate time and place. She ordered a glass of wine and a small platter of appetizers as she waited for Des to arrive. Greeting her friend with a smile, the goddess had on her mind an idea that was formulated during one of her solitude moments of meditation, overlooking the ocean. She would present this idea to Des and get her opinion on it.
She took a sip of the wine and spoke, “Since I was unable to attend their wedding, and trust me, it would have meant so much to me. I was thinking of a twin Island to Atlantis that was sank to the same cataclysmic fate that which Atlantis was once sank. This piece of land was once an ancient kingdom, splendid in its time. It would be fabulous if we could raise it together, like similarly Misos had raised Atlantis to its glory.”
Nyghtwolfe smiled in a haunting manner, like a wicked banshee, “Think about it. With my goddess powers and your succubus powers, together we can lift this forgotten land up between our kingdoms. I’ll let you present it to them as a gift, since the whole gift giving idea was yours. We can hire a work crew to restore the ancient castle and its expanse of land to a copious state of fertility.”
Des had arrived earlier as she stood now within the grand kingdom of her two best friends, Nyghtwolfe and Misos. Dressed in a soft pale blue sari, Her hair was braided and pinned up, Desdemona Lust, looked more like an Indian goddess than the succubus she was. She had sent word to set up this little get together for the two kingdoms as it wasn′t every day that their kingdoms joined like this.... She came walking up to her dear friend and stood next to her as she listen to what her friend had to say. Des ordered a glass of wine and then turn to look at her. A smile on her face.
"Sadly we both didn′t get a chance to see the two marry either."
Both of them had been looking for a perfect gift and it came to them over night it seem. The two love birds were now part of both kingdoms....their children would carry the banners of both... so why not give them a little piece of land that connected the two? She had helped raised Lemuria from the depths before she gave it to her daughter Morgana to rule that land. She knew they could raise it and such. She tapped her finger along the rim of the glass as she listen to the plans of the Empress. Des was getting delighted by the moment about the new addition to the family and the kingdom, and the stronger ties to her friends.
"since both our kingdoms do blood wine...and my little granddaughter does run the winery for my kingdom...how about we put a small vineyard near the castle and also let them both come up with a special wine for both the kingdoms too? a join endeavor in you will?"
She smiled at NW, facing the other woman fully now. She took a sip of her wine.
"hmmm I think it will be a fine addition to both our kingdoms... and I have a feeling that the two will grow a very strong family upon it.... in turn... building even stronger bonds between our families and kingdoms.... "
She finished her wine.
"I think we should get started upon this... don′t you?"
Nyghtwolfe nodded with a sparkle of eagerness in her amber eyes, “Definitely yes, vineyards. I can almost see it now!”
The goddess drifted off in her words as her thoughts became filled with images of a successful wine enterprise being shared between both Kingdoms. Setting down her glass, the Atlantean goddess snapped her fingers. A scroll of vellum rolled down from her hand, written upon with a penned list of preparations needed to be done. She handed this list off to a servant who was always waiting nearby for the Empress to have need of something. Bowing respectfully, the servant hurried off to do her biding.
The Empress and Queen then went for a stroll together to the shoreline of Cardigan Bay. Nyghtwolfe lifted her hand high in the air to summon the divine powers of her heritage. The clear blue sky crackled with electricity. These jagged bolts of living energy stabbed down into the waters above Maes Gwyddno.
Des turn herself as NW started her power to raise the island. Des′s eyes turn fully black, no white remained. She felt the black powers of her own heritage caressing her skin like an old lover. She felt the winds starting to rise up, pulling some of her long dark hair free from their pins.
She felt like a spirit like tree had grown roots within her and as her own powers sunk deep within the ground... moving along the earth below under the island. She could see bubbles start to brake the surface of the waters almost like someone had tip over a glass full of air under the water. She could feel the great land mess almost as if she was feeling it herself. It would take a lot of her power to help push it up....but thankfully with NW they would be able to lift the land without over extending either one of themselves.
Black little pops of magic snapped around Des′ fingers as she wiggled them slightly at her sides almost like she herself was trying to wiggle her fingers under the jagged edges of the island to get a better grip. Under her breath she chanted softly, and dark spell long forgotten by those of today....
The ancient land heaved up from its watery grave. Columns of its fortress pierced the surface and were propelled outwards to a towering height as water cascaded down from it. The old castle was covered in coral, starfish, snails, and lichen upon its stones in an interesting natural design. Nyghtwolfe liked the appeal of it and decided to permeate it as it was. She threw a powerful wave of enchantment to wash over the risen land, and in short time the entire castle and its accompanying towers were preserved with the oceanic ornamentation intact. These creatures of the sea would become the living personification of themselves upon the stones, frozen in time, eternal. Nyghtwolfe laughed, clapping her hands like an excited child, “Gosh it’s so beautiful!”
Des couldn′t help but smile at her friend clapping with childlike excitement. She felt it growing within her too. She looked at the beautiful creation her friend had designed within the castle. She used her magic to push the island up more so it now was sitting upon the water. She watched as the waves beat at it′s shores like an angry child who lost it′s toy.
She wanted a little touch of darkness within the island, to call out perhaps to her granddaughter demonic nature. One of the few water demons of the kingdom, She waved her hand as the sandy beaches of the island darken a bit, to bring it a bit of black sand. Des smiled as she like that it would be one of a kind, among the lands between both realms. Des let her eyes slowly go back to the normal amber color as she looked over at her friend.
"I think after your works get the rest of the lands ready.... it will be the perfect gift from both kingdoms to the two.... don′t you? I kinda feel a bit jealous, it is truly a beautiful creation, "
"Truly it is a masterpiece!", Nyghtwolfe exclaimed with admiration in her voice as her eyes beheld the awesome beauty of the reborn Island. She took Des by the hand as they flew together over the rippling waters with their wings and landed upon its shores. Nyghtwolfe sang a sweet melody of the dryads, awaking the spirit of the forest that was preserved here. The trees came alive with fresh tender new leaves, creating an oasis paradise for birds and wildlife to flourish here. The dryad friends of Artemis and the water nymphs took great care of the rest of the restoration, making the Island a more habitable place for life.
