The Calling
Long had the Muses dreamed
of the Land of Kymer and its fair city of Phantasus. In dreams they
saw the colors and grew to love the dear faces and the magical scenery.
They heard its call and felt its pull, a tug these many years.
It happened one day that
each of them heard the Call amplified as though with one voice. Each
Muse looked up... and using her Crystal saw into the hearts of her Sisters.
Clearly reflected in each Crystal was the intense longing of the people
of the Dreamscape... as for their Oracles and Magic of old...for stories,
art, poetry, theatre... for Inspiration.
The Sisters hurried to
meet together. For years, they had been accustomed to responding
individually to a need for Inspiration, serving as Muses for the artists,
musicians, scientists, poets and writers. Yet this call was unlike
any other they had ever responded to. For they were ALL being called
to serve together, for an entire community seeking to reclaim a Dream.
Without a word and as in
a trance, all the Muses set about working to gather their few belongings,
and their beloved birds. They collected favorite plants and flowers
for planting in their new home, and prepared their birds for travel.
The Muses left each as
she was ready, one or two
arriving everyday until
all but two had arrived. The Sisters who had not made their journey
were still deep into their Musings with other souls in need.
The welcome given to the
Muses gladdened each Sister's heart, and it has been their great pleasure
to get to know each citizen and encourage them in seeking their heart's
desire. Thus begins the new chapter in Dreamscape history.
